Amundsen and Gran Propose
to Seek Objective From
Opposite Sides.

Capt. Roald Amundsen, discov-
erer of the South Pole, and Major
Tryggve Gran, a Norwegian avi-
ator, late this summer will race
for the North Pole in aIrplanes,
flying from opposite sides of the
Pole.
Foreign attaches of the Ameri-
can air service report that Major
Gran will shortly go to Spitzber-
gen, north of Greenland, to map
out his route and arrange for
landing places and fuel.

ready sailing toward the Arctic
regions by way. of Alaska and

Alaska, to the Pole via Grant

Greenland.
from so to so degrees below zero.
Gales and snowstorms will be en-
countered, and the routes will be
over practically unchartered terri
tory In the most isolated part Of the
world.
A dead engine means practically
certain death. and a forced landing
for any reason, where II Is made
safely or not, leaves the flying ex.
plorers almost no chance for life.
They will need almost perfect luck
to survive the race. for after they
have reached the Pole, II they do:
the journey back Is just as perilous
probably more so,' because the
food and fuel supply will be lower.
Their chances of rescue In the
event of foeced landings is not worth
considering. Without dogs and
sleds their prospects of reaching
civilization afoot are practically
none.
The race was not prearranged.
Amundsen had planned to sail TO
The Arctic. lock his ship, the Maud.
in the ice and take from four to
seven years to drift with the glacial
movement across the North Polar
regions. in the meantime using two
planes for reconnaissance work IN
scientific research. seeking metero-
! logical data on which to base long
range weather predictions for the
world. He planned to keep in touch
with the world by radio.
Just before he left Nome. Alaska.
he learned that Major Gran pro
posed to fly to the North Pole.
starting probably at Hammerfest,
at northwestern Norway. flying
, across the Arctic ocean to SpitZ-
bergen and then to the Pole. Gran
was with the British air forces
during the war and has a splendid
record as a cross-country f1ier.
Discoverer of the South Pole, the
Northwest Passage through the
Arctic across the northern edge Ct
North America. and the North Mag
netic Pole, Amundsen felt that the
only noteworthy feat remaining to
exploration was flight to the Pole.
So he changed his plans and decided
to speed up his journey.
Neither will know the exact time
when the other leaves his point Of
departure. II Amundsen reaches
the Pole first and continues toward
Spitzbergen and home to Norway

Custodian Miller's statement fur.
ther explains that in addition to the
return of seized property In all
cases where the value does not ex'
ceed $4,000, the former owner in
every trust in excess OF $4,000

Great Britain politely intimates that
she hasn't any objection to great and

to the note from the United States ask

from the Bahamas and Bermuda into the

The Foreign Office also points out
that while many of the ships accused of
smuggling are under British registry, at
the same time they are undoubtedly Of
American ownership.
1t is understood that London has inti-
mated to Washington that they would
be happy to make the regulations more
stringent for the registration of ships.
but, it Is pointed out quite informally,
that the precedent might create a diff

The reply, couched In pleasant and
