392 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1949 
APPENDIX 
The Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition was organized with the 
support and good will of many individuals and organizations through- 
out the United States. I can mention only a few: Dr. and Mrs. 
Edward L. Sweeney of Evanston, Il., and Washington, D. C., Mr. 
and Mrs. Allan Scaife of Pittsburgh, Pa., and John Hauberg of Rock 
Island, Ill., who because of their interest in exploration and science 
provided the necessary support. Without the sale of news rights to 
the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc., a contract with the 
Navy Department for the results of research in various branches of 
science, and the many articles given me by the Research and Develop- 
ment Section of the Army Air Forces, the expedition would not have 
materialized. Representative J. M. Combs of Beaumont, Tex., was 
one of our strongest and staunchest supporters, and Sir Hubert Wilkins 
gave me many helpful ideas and suggestions. Of inestimable help, 
too, were Dr. Isaiah Bowman, president of The Johns Hopkins Univer- 
sity, and Dr. Lawrence McKinley Gould, president of Carleton Col- 
lege. The American Geographical Society of New York, through its 
director, Dr. John K. Wright, extended its auspices during the days 
when I was planning the expedition. In addition, there are others, 
far too numerous to mention, who helped me in many ways. For 
their help I am grateful. To Capt. Harry L. Dodson, U.S. N., Dr. 
Dana Coman, and Dr. I. C. Gardner I am indebted for their untiring 
efforts to further the aims and purposes of the expedition.
