The only man aboard who had seen the pole was Col.

Bernt Bal-chen, the Air Force's famed Arctic expert. It was his seventh crossing. Balchen and Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd are the only men whe have flown over both the North safely to this far-northern base.

One of the correspondents was May Craig, Washington representative of several papers and first civilian woman to reach the top of the world. She had expected to be the first woman.

Sut south, had been in the air only two hours when we reached Alert, the northern-most tip of Elles-mere Island, where five Americans and five Canadians maintain a joint weather station. The pilot, was Capt. John T. Moore of Big Spring, Tex. At the pole, the weather was perfectly clear, and the snow-covered old ice of the polar cap was divided by exceptionally wide probably frozen.

The leads are spaces where the continually cracking and shifting pack ice has parted and water remains or new ice has formed. Form the air, they appear as an intricate system of great rivers. We passed the pole at 7500 feet. The estimated temperature at the surface was 23 above, the winds "gentle and variable." The gleaming sun turned a distant cloud bank to red and orange, giving the impression that a warm beach area might lie just ahead. A brilliant afternoon sun, low on tne norizon at tne pole and weirdly climbing higher as we flew back, played on white clouds, Balchen, the authority, says a Navy Wave who flew without fanfare beat her to it.

TEHRAN, Sept. 21 (JP) The joint parliamentary board set up to run Iran's nationalized oil industry continued detailed work today on a re-draft of counterproposal this country may make to Britain and Ihe United States on a settlement of the bitter Anglo-Iranian oil dispute. The board was asigned to revamp all major points of the new counterproposals made last week by Premier Mohammed Mossadegh. The Majlis, Iran's lower House of Parliament, gave Mossadegh a vote of confidence last Tuesday on his latest oil policies, but asked the board to review one of the more intricate and confusing points of the premier's proposals.

At a meeting last night, Mossadegh asked the board to go over the whole program rather than this one point. Daily Record BIRTHS Sandia Base Hospital TSgt. and Mrs. Lloyd E. Nixon, girt.

But there was nothing especially exciting about it all 35 were British paratroopers. The 35 men were being flown back from western Germany where the British army is on maneuvers. The pilot of the plane, a U. S. Air Force C-82, reported he was unable to lower his undercarriage and told the 35 to jump.

The men jumped into the dark, six at a time, in best paratroop fashion. All landed on the airdrome The American plane circled the airdrome for 20 minutes, finally got its undercarriage down and landed casually among a lot of annoyed British paratroopers.

Since this still isn't very enlightening, here's some background: "Estufa" is a Spanish word for the Indian "kiva" or ceremonial chamber. The building here is patterned after these Pueblo kivas. It has been the secret meeting-place of the university chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha for 37 years.

Attacked Many Times Since it is the only private meeting place apart a chapter house on the campus, it has been attacked many times in recent years. Attempts to destroy it with fire, dynamite, water and other weapons have been made. The Pikes date back to a local group called the Yum-Yum Society, sponsored by the late Dr. William Tight, president of UNM. It was founded for the "Betterment and Advancement of Scientific Rough-House." This gradually developed into a local fraternity called Alpha Alpha Alpha.

The Alphas petitioned for admittance into the national fraternity of Pi Kappa Alpha and were accepted. The Beta Delta Chapter of the Pikes was chartered in May, 1915. This was the first national fraternity on the campus. First Built on Campus The chapter house, at 600 University Blvd. NE, was the first fraternity house to be built on the campus.

These facts are offered by Edward Smith, president. He says that the Pikes have won more first prizes for house decorations than any other fraternities on the campus. Social events include the Dream Girl formal dance and the Hi Jinx costume ball. The Pike Lodge in the Sandias, also plays a part in the social activities of the chapter. Where Estufa fits in is still a question.
