Paris, Mar. 13.

Forty-four men and one woman are on their way home after spending 12 months on France's most desert territory, the Kerguelen Archipelago, where the wind blows at gale force on 300 days of the year.

The islands, lying in the Indian Ocean in the same latitude as the Falkands or the southern tip of New Zealand, were discovered in 1792 by the Chevalier de Kerguelen.

Melbourne, Mar: 13.

Certain Australian aborigines will get full citizenship rights under a plan prepared by native affairs officers, according to a Government official. The move is considered long overdue in circles concerned with the welfare of the aborigines.

The announcement followed the appearance in court at Alice Springs of Albert Namatjira, the world-famous aboriginal artist, on a charge of "having drunk liquor." Aborigines are prohibited from even so much as tasting alcohol.
