Col. Baird said that the current ideal weather conditi6ns in Alaska are not idedl for use of the expe- ditior’s specially equipped ski-wheel {undercarriaged Norseman airplane. |'He explained that the sun has soft- |ened the snow so much that it is impossible for the airplane to take off from the Glacier except about 4 am. and that it was not always too certain. He said that the plane had been delayed on the Glacier for 20 hours at one time and 72 hours in another | period because of the mushiness of the snow. The expedition has found it necessay’ to drop its supplies by parachute rather than fly them in. Three men are now on the Glacier but are expected to be joined by others soon. Col. Baird, who had other tusi-} ness in Montreal, left Yakutat, the party's base of operations, after spending a week on the Glacier and acquiring somewhat of a deep sun- tan. He was flown in by Dean Good- win and will leave here tomorrow. He is registered at the Juneau Hotel.
