arrangements Under Way To
Send Expedition Into Arctic
Early Next Summer
PRESIDENT APPROVES PLAN
Naval Vessels To Be Used AS Auail-
iaries - Giant Oirigible "Shenan-
doah" win Be Among Fleet of
Fliers Making the Trip.

Washington, d. c. With the full
approval of President Coolidge the
American navy has definitely decided
to organize and send a strong naval
expedition into the Arctic next sum
mer fer the exploration of the
North Polar regions. While naval
vessels will be used as auxiliaries the
expedition will be primarily aerial
and probably will involve the use OF
the giant naval dirigible Shenandoah,
formerly the ZR-1, in addition to air
planes.
Details and plans for the expedition
will be formulated by board appoint
ed by Secretary OF the Navy DENLY.
Rear Admiral William V. Moffett.
chief of the bureau of naval aeronau-
tics, will be senior member of the
board.
The decision of the government to
have an expedition of it's own under
take the exploration of the North
Polar region will not interfere with
the arrangements recently completed
with the navy department for Lieut..
Ralph f. Dawson to take part in the
transpolar flight by seaplane over the
North Pole under the leadership of
Capt Raoul Amundsen, which has
asso been projected for next Summer.
There are more than a million
square miles Of unexplored territory
in the Arctic regions between the
North Pole and Alaska and as much
as possible of this and other polar
territory will be explored. 1t will be
the most extensive polar expedition
ever yet attempted.
An attempt will be made to discov-
er whether the theory now held by
scientists throughout the world that
large continent exists in this region
is correct.
