THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Danish Expedition To Explore
Northern Areas Of Greenland
COPENHAGEN — A party of ‘_
Danish natural scientists, equipped!
with two ships and an amphibious‘
plane, is undertaking a three-year“
exploration and research in the;
frozen north. ,
Peary Land in the extreme
north of Greenland and north
eastern Greenland are to be the
scene of their investigations,
which take on added importance
in view of the fact that future in
ternational air lines will go via
this country, the world's largest
island.
Weather conditions or this vast
region of ice and snow are among
the things to be studied. ThP area

will be surveyed, and botanical.
zoological, mineralogical. and
paleontological investigations will
be undertaken.
It is hoped to find good landing
sites for planes—sites that later
may be used by regular air
service.
Greenland. a territory of 844,-
000 square miles, of which 700,000
are icekovered. is under Danish
sovereignty. but the United States
assumed a temporary protectorate
during the war.
The expedition is expected to be
the first large party to winter in
the region to be explored. North
Greenland has been visited by
many expeditions before, but they
were reportedly sledge parties
which had to return after a short
stay.
“The expedition falls in two
parts." Mr. Knuth said. “One takes
place this year and the other he
gins in the summer of 1948 and
lasts until 1950.
"We are leaving by the end 9f
June for a three-month stay in
Greenland. during which time we
shall establish our stations. a
main station. and two supplement
ary ones. They have to be winter
resistant. with real wooden houses,
so that we can live there during
the long arctic winter.
“Our static base will be in the
northernmost district of Green
land and there we shall try to
hold out during the three years
necessary for our work."
This year's party will comprise
12 men. while next years‘ expedi—
tion will number 10.

Effects Of Tobacco Studied
At Hospital In Stockholm
STOCKHOLM ---< A comprehen—r
sive inquiry into the effect of to:
bacco-smoke on the heart of smok
ers of various grades has been:
carried out by Dr. Berti] Von Ann
at the Serafimer Hospital in Stock- ‘
holm. The experiments were car-:
ried out on 27 habitual smokers
and 23 beginners or non-smokers.
The results of the investigation;
show that .no injurious effects
were observedmthough this does
not contradict the vimv that many
years of smoking might injure the
heart. at any rate in the case of
sensitive persons.
The first part of the inquiry
comprised experiments on several
really heavy smokers, among them
a 67-year—old businessman. who
for 49 years had smoked hetm-en
10 and 30 cigars a day. and :1 ~19-
year-old female school Leather.
who smoked 30 cigarettes 11 day
But their hearts were found to be
healthy and they chain—smoked a
surprising; number of cigars and
cigarettes respectively without ainj.‘
unpleasant effects. The later ser
ies of experiments which has now
been published in Svenska Lakar
tidningen 4The Swedish Medical
Journal» comprises 23 pe'rsons be
‘tween 13 and 40 years of age. of
.whom 13 Were beginners or had
smoked for a few months only.
.while the rest had never tasted
;tobacco. All of them undertook to
7chain-smoke cigars or cigarettes
for as long as they were able to do
so. the 13 beginners inhaling. while
the non-smokers could only smoke
through the mouth. Two of the
non-smokers were already suffer
ing from heart trouble, while all
the others were healthy.
It was not possible to establish
any appreciable effects on the
heart. Chain-smoking did not, as
a rule. cause any appreciable re—
duction in the physical output in
the course of n‘iedium-heary work.
How the perSons experimented on
would have reacted after more ar
duous tests. (xg. cross-country run
ning. it is of course impossible to
determine the report says Short—
ness of breath is a common symp—
ton during: a certain period of
smoking. but usually it soon passes
over.
Tobacco tolerance varied within
wide limits. A 17-year-old student.
who had smoked 3 or «i cigarettes
a day for a year. was surprisuiglr
little affected after inhaling the
