PLANES AND DOGS TOHUNT FOR TALIA Second Relief Expedition Pre- pares to Sail as One Ship Heads Northward. By the Associated Press. OSLO, Norway, May 31.—With the sealer Hobby steaming north with the first expedition to seek the missing dirigible Italia by air, another vessel was being made ready today to carry other airplanes into the north, The Norwegian government took over the steamer Ingefour, which is ordi- narily engaged in the coal trade at Spitzbergen, to transport one or two navy airplanes. It is expected she will leave tomorrow for Spitzbergen. The Ingefour, 6,200 tons, is strongly built and considered capable of forging her way through the ice. She will proceed along the coast, acting as a mother ship to aviators who will make short scout- ing trips over the icebound Arctic. The pianes will be piloted by Capt. Riiser- Larsen, who is in charge of rescue plans, and Lieut. Leif Dietrichson, both of whom accompanied Roald Amundsen on his polar expedition in 1925.

A picturesque log cabin, of the ram- bling sort, and of the general hunting lodge type, belonging to the heirs of the late Henry Clay Pierce, millionaire ofl magnate, will serve as the Summer White House for the three months the President and Mrs. Coolidge will remain away from the Capital. Formal announcement of this was made at the White House today.

Nobile and his companions, said it was impossible to make any worthwhile | statement as he was not aware of | | bresent meteorological conditions in the | Arctic, but if they had rifles and am- munition they should be able to last out the entire Summer. WIFE IS OVERCOME. Signora Nobile Spends Day in Prayer. Italy Plans Relief. ROME, May 31 (#).—The thoughts of Italy today turned with tenderness to Signora Carlotta Nobile, wife of Gen. Umberto Nobile, and their little d.lll‘g- ter Maria as the days dragged on with- out any sign from the frozen North that the commander of the airship Italia and his crew were safe. The mother and child, surrounded by a few intimate friends, g&:nw early mass datly in the Church of Gloacchino, where a triduum is being conducted for the safety of the general and his men. Then they return to their home in the Via Giuseppe Ferrari, in the Prati quarter, as soon as ible in order to avold the crowds collecting outside the church. Until yesterday they received inti- mate friends and emissaries of the King and Premier Mussolini, and thanked all for their words of comfort. Finally, however, Signora Nobile was overcome and locked herself in her room and spent the day in prayer. Earlier in the week she went to St. Peter's and spent a long time in pray- ing at the grave of Pope Pius X, in the crypt of the basilica. Speedy recogni- tion of her by other worshipers, how= ever, made the pursuance devotions there impossible. Representatives of the Milan Aero Club, the Aerial League of Upper Italy, a hydroplane company, the Milan Auto- mobile Club and the provineial Fascist Federation met at Milan with repie- sentatives of the Isotta-Fraschini firm of motor manufacturers and the Breda firm of aircraft manufacturers to dis- cuss an immediate relief expedition, It was planned to utilize all the aerial re- sources at the command of the prov- ince, from which Nobile got his lufiofl. Alpine troops, aided by local guides, are setting out in Spitzbergen in smail detachments to search for clues. Faith for the present is pinned on the whaler Hobby and the whaler Bragansa, 1t fs thought that they will make more headway to the north than the Citta Ci Milano has proved able to do.
