News of the safety of the party came by radio from Prof. Samoilovitch today. Moscow, July 16.—-)—State- ments by companions of Dr. Finn Malmgren, who survived the crash of the dirigible Italia, that he was buried alive in a grave of ice caused a storm of criticism in Russia today. A radiogram to Tass, Soviet news agency from Professor Samoilovitch, head of the Russian relief expedition aboard the ice breaker Krassin, said he asked the Swedish scientist's two rescued companions, Captains Mar- iano and Zappi, for details of Malm- gren’s death. He was told how they dug a grave for Malmgren and start- ed over the ice toward safety as he waved them on, crying: “Go! Go! At the price of my life you'll save all.” Strong criticism was voiced in the Soviet press not only of the burial of Malmeren alive, but also of Gen- eral Umberto Nobile’s being rescued first and the conduct of the Italia expedition. Poem Reflects Feelin, The feeling in certain circles was reflected in a poem by Valdimir Mayakovsky, noted Soviet poet, printed in the newspa Komso- molsky Pravda. A translation of its closing lines - ads: “Now say, you who flew, how your leaders botched the job! We await Nobile’s live Why have you fled? Where is Malmgren? Has he died or have they left him alive?” ins Mariano and Zappi and Dr. Malmgren started from the scene of the crash of the Italia across the ice for land on May 30. In their march they suffered un- told privation. For days they drift- ed on floating ice. Zappi was quoted as sayiag that several miles southwest of Brok Island Malmgren was unable to march on. He told his two companions to go ahead and take all the provisions. Zappi’s ac- count continued: Last Word for Mother “Before leaving Malmgren asked us to dig a grave in the ice and he lay down. Quietly he stretched out his hand bidding us adieu and handing up his compass, requesting us to give it to his mother. “We plodded on slowly. In 14 hours we were only 100 meters from. Malmgren. We saw Malmgren raise his head. Hoping that driven by hunger he would go on with us, word: and Mandan were thronged through- out the day. Twilight last night found scores «* deer coming from cover along the Missouri to escape un. !the heat and clouds of gnats and mosquitoes. They waded into the river and stood shoulders deep in bayous of still water along the riv- er. Temperature 90 A maxium temperature of 90 de- grees was recorded, two degress le: than the hottest day of summer. Nevertheless, ice men worked over- time. One North Dakota point re ed precipitation of nearly two inches and two others reported rainfall of more than one inch during the 48- hour period ending at 7 a. m. this morning.

FREIGHT RATE RAISE UPHELD seta tard ce ec y, jor ic Failroad on freight shipments from the Twin Cities and Duluth-Superior to North Dakota points has been an- nounced by the Interstate Commerce commission, sccording tion xeceived The board asked suspension of the rates on the ground that they are involved in the general investigation of freight rates in western trunk line territory. It contended that no we waited. Realizing this, Malm- gren cried: “Go! Go! At the price of my life you'll save all.” “We marched on.” A mile from Brok Island Mariano became blind. Again they drifted with the ice. During their wander- ings they saw six airplanes only about a mile distant but the Soviet flyer Chukhnosvky from the Kras- sin was the only one to see them. 12 Days Without Food For 12 days they had not eaten anything. Mariano felt death ap- proaching. He begged Zappi to place his body aboard the Russian plane if the airman should succeed in landing. His ebbing life revived when the Krassin approached to pick them ve. The Krassin then pushed on to rescue the iive men commanded by Lieutenant Alfredo Viglieri at the scene of the disaster. The group heard the Krassin’s sirens and sight- ed her shortly after 4:15 p. m. jina| Thursday.
