Hot Cargo

Two Soviet ships are at this moment racing toward the South Pole—carrying a cargo of possible trouble for the free world.

Supposedly, the Russians are taking peaceful part with eight other nations in a joint scientific expedition to learn more about the Antarctic. All the countries hope to set up observation posts on the ice in accordance with gentlemen’s agreements made recently in Paris and Brussels. Their avowed purpose is to gather scientific knowledge cooperatively, unselfishly and without competing for any national advantage.
