B. COLTON (Associated Press Science Writer) WASHINGTON, June 13—Uncle Sam plans air raids the next two summers on the far north “base” from which the iceberg fleet an- nually sails south to harass north Atlantic shipping. Lieut-Comdr. Edward H. Smith iceberg expert of the United States coast guard, will lead the “raids” on board the Graf Zeppelin, which { | this summer is to fly to the North {|Pole to meet Sir Hubert Wilkins' submarine Nautilus on its voyage under the ice. Next summer he will make a more extensive scientific air tour of the Arctic regions. This year Commander Smith will | utilize the Graf's 10-day trip from Spitabergen to the Pole and back to study ice conditions in the Arc- tic ocean that may affect move- | ment of icebergs farther south. In 1932 it is expected the Graf will fly directly over the west coast |of Greenland and Baffin bay, where | icebergs break off from the giant Greenland glaclers sliding slowly seaward, and start south for the open Atlantic. Air Study Advantageous From the air Commander Smith believes he can observe better than from land or aboard ship how pre- vailing winds affect movements of the bergs, direction of ocean cur- rents that may carry them south, and whether floating sea ice from the Arctic ocean is connected with their wanderings. He will seek to discover why the annual iceberg fleet invading, the Atlantic varies in numbers® éum more than 1,300 to fewer than 100 in a season. Commander Smith’s ice observa- tions, however, will be only one phase of the sclentific work plan- ned for the Graf’s trip in 1932, which will be part of the exten- WASHINGTON, June 12.—Sen-| ator Simeon D, Fess of Ohio, Chair- ' man of the Républican National) Committee, opened the Hoover cam- paign by predicting the renomina- | tion of the President. He spoke at a conference of Young Repub- licans, and sald: | “When the American people real- ize the service that President Hoov- er has given he will not only be unanimously renominated but over- whelmingly re-elected.” Senator Fess saild he had prev-, iously criticized party insurgencyf and he reiterated the declaration to be a force without responsi- bility, destructive of party welfare. sive program of the “polar year” of 1932-33. ‘While 50 or more sclentific sta- tions are established on land av strategic points in the Arctic and Antarctic to study weather, the earth’s #tmosphere and magnetic conditions during that period, the Graf Zeppelin will serve as a sort of roving station, cruising all over the Arctic with a group of scientist passengers and ‘their instruments aboard. Air Mail Route Survey They will study weather condi- tions on the proposed air mail route from England to America by way of Iceland, Greenland and Labrador. Winds, fogs and temperatures all over the Arctic basin will be inves- tigated to learn their possibie ef- e fect on weather farther south.

From Tromsoe, Norway, the Graf |will fly west over Greenland to the iggberg “calving ground” in Baffin bay, then on to Fairbanks, Alaska, where the scientists will board her. After circling the Arctic sea for observations, the scientists will be returned to Pairbanks and the Graf will cruise back to Tromsoe, on the way circling over mysterious North- ern land, whose contours have not been fully exployed. The 1931 trip is planned to serve the sunken submarine Poseidon are |partly as a training cruise for the still alive.

Small ralls sold off from one to three points in the first half hour of trading and led some sell- ing industrials. Then groups hard- ened slowly and mended. Declines eliminated the narrow advance be- ! yond at Thursday’s close. New York Central and Atchison converted three-point losses into moderate gains. Union Pacific rallied for a four net gain.

Bernard R. Hubbard have had a narrow es« cape from death in flying. The two flew over the crater of Aniakchak volcano and the suction of the cold air towards the hot crater pulled the airplane toward the pit. A sudden dive away from the gaseous mouth saved the ship and those aboard from plunging into the hole. Al Monsen was the mehanic with the plane. Eagles Attack Plane Eagles attacked the plane, sneak« ing up behind and di toward the propellor. The wasih turned them over and they went away screaming. Sulphur fumes were noticeable 40 miles away. Pilot Blunt maneuvered the plane at a high altitude for the dash over the crater. Rev. Rubbard took photos and made observation of a 30 square mile area. Pilot Blunt plunged downward and landed in Kujulikk Bay. ASH RECEIVED HERE | A specimen of the ash, from Anijakchak volcano, falling at Kan- atak, from the eruption of May 3 has been received in Juneau. It was obtained and forwarded to the headquarters of the ‘Bureau of In- dian Affairs by M. E. Nylen, teach- er of the Government school at Kanatak. It is a fine, powdery substance, gray in color, about the hue of pumice stone.

A | Col. Lindbergh Studying ! Four Routes for Proposed ' Flight to Oriental Lands ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12— Col. Charles A. Lindbergh disclosed that he is studying four routes for his proposed flight to the Orient. The Japanese Government has also informed the State Depart- ment that it would officially wel- come the Colonel. One route being studied by Col- Lindbergh would carry him across the Aleutians. Another route is through Alaska across Bering Strait. The third route might be north- ward to the Hudson Bay Region and west across a deserted country 2long the northern coast of Al- aska. The fourth route is over the Af- lantic, across the end of Green- land, then north to Spitzbergen and across Siberia. Although Col. dindbergh is con= sidering four routes the final de= cision depends on establishment of . satisfactory fuel bases. He is par- ticularly interested in the route across Alaska over Bering Strait to Siberia, then to the Nipponese Islands.
