The course to be taken by Admiiral Byrd's ship will be rather hazardous at the outset, although the ex-
pedition officers report that equipnment is on hand to meet any exigency. The naval expedition will sail
from "Little. America," the land at the South Pole discovered and named by Admiral Byrd, through open
water, and then into the great Antarctic ice pack. Up on successfully navigating this, the expedition will sail
r g o te to Dunedin, New Zealand. A temporary rest and restocking is planned at Dunedin be-1

Senator Black, Democrat, Ala-
bama, asserted that Tate had acted
as attorney for the Southern rail-
way and. for power companies,. a
contention that was denied by Mec-
Kellar of Tennessee, also a Demo-
crat, who argued that while Tate's
law firm had done some work for
the Southern railway in the Knox.-
ville area, it had been obtained and
handled by one of Tate's partners.
Black also referred to press re-
ports that Tate had been recom-
mended for appointment to the
commission by Jereiiah Millbank,
a director of the Southern railway.
This, Senator Couzens, Republican,
ichigan, said he could "authori-
tatively deny."

Funds Assured to Pay
Employees of Chicago
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-Slow in
Igaining momentum, financial re-
lief for Chicago and Cook county
assumed proportions of a landslide
today.
The $74,000,000 necessary to tide
over the local governments during
the crisis has been assured. As
soon as the first of the millions is
poured into the trust oirganized to
purchase tax warrants, the payoff
parade will begin.
Departments have already pre-
pared the checks for the long-un-
paid employes. It was believed pos-
sible that part of these could be
distributed tomorrow, but bankers
held out little hope that the pay-
off could be made before Tuesday.
