New President Tells
Of Trade Board Plans
For Improving City
John A. Reilly, new president of
the Washington Board of Trade,
outlined his program for the civic
development of Washington yester
day after taking leadership oi the
business group.
Primary emphasis, he said, will be
put on capital improvements for
the city, transportation and parking
problems, moves to maintain the
District's centralized business sec
tion and programs to attract more
tourists and visitors.
Mr. Reilly believes the city's de
velopment hinges on settlement of
problems brought up by it's steadily
increasing growth.
One of the board's younger
leaders, the 45-year-old president
of the Second National Bank took
his post yesterday after the Board
of Directors elected him in its con
ference room in The Star Building.
He succeeded Attorney Joseph C.
McGarraghy, as president.
Other Officers Named.
Other new officers were P. Y. K.
Howat, president of the Howat

tional Bank, treasurer; James A.
Cassidy, head of the James A. Cas
sidy Co., a representative for build
ing products manufacturers, assis
tant treasurer, and Edward P. Colla
day, director of the Second National
Bank, general counsel.
"We are undergoing a period of
changing business conditions that
will require the closest attention,"
Mr. Reilly asserted. "Much basic
research work needs to be done and
statistical Information on a wide
variety of local conditions will be
made available to our members.
One of the first studies, he said,
will be to And means of relieving
downtown parking conditions, which
he termed a threat to business.
Mr. Reilly said the board also
would "continue to focus its atten
tion" on efforts to obtain a higher
contribution to the District from the
Federal Government and expand its
work in attracting visitors to the
city.
A native of the District, Mr.
Reilly has been president of the
Second National since 1936, five
years after he opened his banking
career.
A graduate of the Georgetown
University Law School, he has also

Mary, 8.
When he can find time—which
isn't often—Mr. Reilly dashes out
to Columbia to devote a little at
tention to his only hobby, golf.
Prom now on, Mr. Reilly said, he
plans to be a little more careful
about his dress for the game,
Friends caught him carrying clubs
around the course a couple of weeks
ago and looking every bit the part
of a busy banker stealing a little
time from the office—still wearing
his Homburg.
"I still haven't lived that down,'
he laughed.
English historians say that John
Cabot and his son Sebastian reached
the North American continent s
full year before Columbus.

Britain to Join Sweden, Norway
In New Antarctic Expedition -
By Thomas R. Henry
Science Editoi*of Th« Star.
Plans for one of the most ambi
tious Antarctic expeditions yet un
dertaken now are being formed in
England, it has been learned here.
It will be a Joint British-Norwe
gian-Swedish project, with the Brit
ish share sponsored jointly by the
Royal Geographic Society and the
Scott Polar Research Institute at
Cambridge University, the world
center for studies of polar regions.
Under present plans, as described
in the official journal of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, the expedition will get un
der way early next year. Its objec
tive will be that part of the Antarc
tic continent lying within 10 degrees
east and west of the meridian of
Greenwich, south of the southern
tip of Africa. Thus It will attack the
continent from exactly the opposite
direction from the American naval
expedition led by Admiral Richard
E. Byrd this winter, which was based
on the Bay of Whales south of New
Zealand.
Nazis Dropped Swastikas.
On most maps this territory Is
designated as Queen Maud land,
after the queen of Norway, but never
has formally been claimed by the
Norwegians. In the winter of 1938-39,
however, it was surveyed from the
air by a German expedition, named
Neu Schwabenland, and formerly
claimed by Hitler as the nucleus ol
a proposed Antarctic empire. It in
cluded several hundred thousand
square mues over which the German
flyers, taking off from a seaplane
tender, dropping thousands of swas
tika flags as a basis for territorial
claims based on discovery and ex
ploration. The reports were among
German documents taken after the
war.
While these documents have not
been made public in this country it
is generally admitted that the Ger
man explorers did a magnificent
job with the inadequate means af
forded them at the time. Among
t{ieir discoveries, according to the
British report, was a very large area
of ice-free land—presumably con
siderably more extensive than the
"oasis" off the Knox Coast discov
ered by the flyers of the Byrd ex
pedition. Due to bad weather the
flyers of this expedition were un
able to launch flights over the
Schwabenland area which they
reached only late in February.
The New Zealand, South African
and Australian governments also are
considering expeditions which may
start next winter, but definite plans
have not yet been formulated.
British Back Three Claims.
In the report of the proposed joint
CAJJ^UIMW* XX* Al (λινΙΛΛ Vf VUiVUU jwv»*»*»»
of the British Association, Dr. Brian
Roberts, director of the Scott In
stitute, stresses that the British Em
pire has three specific territorial
claims in Antarctica.
One is the so-called Ross Depend
ency, embracing narrow strips of
territory on both sides of the Ross
Sea where the Byrd expedition was
based. This is alloted to New Zea
land.
There is a definite Australian
claim to a rather small amount of
territory directly south of that Do
minion.
The third and by far the largest
is the Falklands Islands dependency
which includes a large strip of ter
ritory lying south of South America,
including the Palmer peninsula.
This is directly under the British
Colonial Office, the Falklands them
selves having the status of a British
colony. Here British parties were
maintained during most of the war,
and the latest relief party now is
at Marguerite Bay near the Amer
ican camp of Comdr. Finn Ronne.
London Won't Interfere.
This is the only area, Dr. Roberts
says, in which the United Kingdom
itself claims any authority. Aus
tralia and New Zealand make their
own rules without any interference
from London. In this territory, Dr.
Roberts says, "the Colonial Office
has always made it clear that it
will always welcome foreign co-op
eration. It .is Impossible, however,
to arrange co-operation between ex
peditions which keep their plans
secret until they sail."
He continues, referring obviously
to the Ronne expedition: "The sit
uation which may arise when two
independent and uncoordinated ex
peditions are based within two hun
dred yards of each other will not be
without difficulties."
Council Plans Symposium
On. Washington's Culture
A " symposium on "How Does
Washington Compare Culturally
With Other Cities?" win be con
ducted Sunday afternoon, May 11,
by the Washington Arts Council at
the Corcoran Gallery auditorium.

ture halls and studios.

3. To encourage wider participa
tion and support by the Washington
community of the creative arts.
4. To encourage co-operation

tions. *
