Three committee members back receiving Peary proofs without publication. Representative Macon opposes and warns of exposing the matter if records are not inspected. Professor Gannett describes 21 volumes of tidal data and soundings near the pole while noting public release demands. The panel plans another session next Tuesday to decide on publishing and examination by scientists.
