MAY KIBE BICHEJ
WASHINGTON, May 2, (#)—An
area equal to about l-16th of the
United States is represented in the
glacier-studded stretch of Antarc
tica that explorations of Rear Ad
miral Byrd made possible for this
country to claim.
Geographers say that it will re
quire more exploration to deter
mine the economic value of Marie
Byrd Land as it is now impossible
to tell whether the ice covering this
territory rests on land or water.
Beneath the rugged ice sheet over,
which penguins stand guard, they
point out tljere may be land con
taining valuable minerals but they
have no evidence to support this
supposition.
