Byrd to Broadcast Thrills
From Antarctic Expedition
xsaa—
Charles J. V. Murphy, left; Admiral
Richard E. Byrd, right.
rTpn*T f id scene is the South Pole re
gion. The temperature is 7u de
grees below zero. Against the ter
rific odds of overpowering cold, the
spectre of hunger and threat of
burial in eternal ice, heroic men
are battling to discover a new con
tinent. Rear Admiral Richard K
Byrd is leading his Second Antarc
tic Expedition to new pioneer
glories.
Toasting their feet by a comfort
able fireside, Mr. and Mrs. John J.
Radio Listener will share the high
adventure of these intrepid explor
ers. For the thrilling drama of this
fight to conquer the world’s last re
maining frontier, is to be brought to
the American public, direct from
Little America, 10,000 miles away,
by weekly short-wave broadcasts.
Pioneering Achievement
For the first time in history, civil
ization will learn the thrills of pio
neer discoveries instantaneously as
they take place in the polar wastes.
When the dials are tuned in on
Little America, Admiral Byrd and
others of his party will present vivid
dramatizations of Antarctic con
quests, inaugurating the most am
bitious broadcasting project ever
conceived.
Assigned the most difficult radio
reporting job ever attempted,
Charles J. V. Murphy, brilliant
young New York newspaper man,
accompanied the expedition to an
nounce and direct the Antarctic
broadcasts from the scene of action.
Besides possessing exceptional abil
ity as a writer, and a dramatic
speaking voice, Murphy, standing
six feet two inches in height, and
weighing 180 pounds, has the phy
sique to battle the hardships he will
encounter on the world’s last and
coldest frontier.
Series Starts November 13
The first broadcast has been an
nounced for Saturday night, Novem
ber 18, from Byrd’s flagship, the
Ruppert, as it sails on Its last lap to
the Antarctic regions. The series
will be heard In this country over a
Columbia Broadcasting System net
work of 69 stations every Saturday
night at 10 p. m. Eastern Standard
Time, 9 p. m. Central Time, 8 p. m.
Mountain Time and 7 p.m. Pacific
Time.
TEACHERS OF NATION
FAIL TO GET PAY
Raleigh, Nov. 23.—North Caro
lina teachers have been hard hi'
by the new school machinery law
and the limit to the appropriations
made for public school purposes,
and their lot will be still harder
under the new deal when their re
quirements will cost more on the
higher schedule of salaries and
costs.
But North Carolina’s teachers
are by no means as bad off in
salary reductions as are teachers
of many other states and, by com
parison with 36 other states, they
may well be said to be in fair con
dition. The teacher status in North
Carolina is that they will get such
salaries as they will get in actual
cash and for a period of eight
norths. In many ether states the
reduction is not in actual salaries,
but in failure of teachers to get
the salaries for which they agreed
to teach.
This was also true in several
North Carolina communities during
the past two or three years, in
which the local supplements could
not be paid to the teachers, as
promised. In this State, however,
the teachers’ warrants form liens
on the money received from tax
es levied, and in many cases these

warrants are still being paid, as
the money comes in. This is not be
ing done in many other states.
The State of Oregon is an ex
cellent example. Figures compil
ed by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction and publish
ed in the Oregon Education Jour
nal show that at June 20, 1933,
50 districts were three years be
hind in paying teacher salaries;
112 were two years behind; 441
•vpve one year behind; and 890 dis
rOcts six months behind. In addi
'on, it is shown that there are:
’30 districts whose warrants will
sot be cashed at par; 492 wnose
warrants must be discounted 10
~>er cent or more; 140 districts
•’'hose warrants will not be accept
ed for cash or credit in form of
school equipment for teachers
board or clothing without dis
count of 15 per cent or more, and
800 to 1,000 teachers will receive
less than $500 for the year’s teach
ing.
North Carolina’s 23,000 teach
ers, by comparison, will receive an
average of $558 this year, white
and colored. The salary range is
from $360 to $720 a year.
