Tommander Byrd is a native of Virâ€" ginia of which state his brother is now governor.

Plans South Pole Flight Late reports show that those who assisted with the preparations for the commander‘s north pole "journey by @ir" and the Atlantic flight confess themselves amazed at the dimensionâ€" al breadth of his impending expedition to the "bottom of the world." Comâ€" mander Byrd is to build a tiny city on the rim of the bleak Antarctic conâ€" tinent as a base for his flight to the south pole. This base will comprise portable houses, machine shops, radio station, airdrome and food and fuel depots. Byrd will tell his own story at Orâ€" chestra hall. In addition he will show motion pictures including many exclusive "shots" taken of the transâ€" Atlantic flight, pictures of interest taken when he and his party landed on the bleak coast of France at Verâ€" surâ€"Mer. Commander Richard E. Byrd, one of the most talked of men in this country today, will be in Chicago on the night of Jan. 25 to tell the Chiâ€" cago public about his recent transâ€" Atlantic flight, and to give them an outline of his next great undertakâ€" ingâ€"his aerial expedition to the south AJISPICES VOTERS LEAGUE "Why ‘wrong‘ of course."

Many persons qualified to judge, feel that the tendency would be to increase accidents, as individâ€" ual drivers would be relieved of perâ€" sonal responsibility.
