STEFANSSON TO POINT WAY TO DEVEL OPMENT
 OF NORTHERN REGIONS
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 6-vilhjalmur Stefansson, arctic explorer, today an- nounced his abandonment of his career as an explorer, to devote his efforts to provide to a skepticai world that within decade or two the North Polar ocean will be crosseG by network of commercial aviation routes and that the Arctic regions, hitherto known as mysterious, unn- habitable lands, will be the source of developed resources unlimited in magnitude.
 T am through with exploring" he declared to the Associated Press. T will devote myself seriously to the abolition of the polar regions. The aura of mystery surrounding the north is a pail of ignorance. The polar regions are a state of mind.
 Mir. Stefansson said his decision was prompted by his conviction that the age of the exploration of the north now was to yield to the age of commercial development. He felt, he said, that he should give up explor- ing while he was still young enough to develop his new career as a pro paganhst" or enlightener of the north. Exploring. 8 young mans $ game, he added.
 My expeditions to the Arctic" he declared, were like those of Lewis and Clarke in the early days of United States history. l saw as they did that I was crossing country with unlimited resources, country which could easily be exploited and country where men and women could live as comfortably and as energetically as they live in many parts of the North Temperate regions of the world.'

FALL DISSATISFIED WITH HARDING'S POLICY
 WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD MashinRfnn ID. C. Ian G

Following the resignation of Albert B. Fall, Secretary of the Interior. it develops that the New Mexico cabinet officer was dissatisfied with Presi- dent Hardings policy in selection of his cabinet officials, and was dis satisfied becau ie he failed to get a bigger plum"
 While in administration circles the resignation of Secretary Fall was at tended by insistent explanations that the proposed resignation was not the result of friction, at the same time it Is known here that Secretary Fall has not been entirely happy as a member of the Presidents far fly be- cause he was assigned to the depart nent of the interior. At the begin ming the former senator from New Mexico thought that the President should reward his pre-convention ef- forts more handsomely. Secretary Fan wanted to be Secretary of State.
 It is the Presidents wish that Sec retary of Commerce Hoover be pro noted" Should Secretary Hoover not accept this "promotion," in Ohio there is Carm Thompson. a warm friend of the President. a former cabinet officer and a recent aspirant for the office of governor of the state.
 Then there is w. II. Brown of Ohio, the man selected by the Presi- dent to succeed him as member of the Senate. But as in the Thomp- son case. in the Brown case the peo- pie of Ohio acted contrary to the wishes of the executive. Senator Willis succeeded to the Harding chair in the Senate.
 The reasons advanced for the res- ignation of Fall follow:
 l. He was dissatisfied with the comparative unimportant duties as- signed him.
 2. The administration declined to enlarge his sphere of action by de- priving the department of agricul- ture of the forestry service in that it might be added to the interior de- partment.
 3. He was sore" because of pro posed investigations by Congress of his leasing the teapot air dome in Wyoming and other federal oil pre- serves to subsidiaries of the Stand : ard Oil company

HOOVER REFUSES HARD|NG'S OF F R IF FALLS PLACE
Resignation of Interior Secre- tary Caused by Failure to Get Bigger Plum" From
 Administration

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-An offer by President Harding to transfer Secretary Hoover from the com nerce department to the interior department was declined by MT. Hoover today, because, as he said In public statement, he has under taken a departmental reorganization and the job is not yet complete.
 The Commerce Secretary said he had rsen highly compnmenredr by the offer Of the interior portfolio, which Secretary Fall is to give up on March f. but he felt he could be of greatest service by completing the work he has underway. He added that the President agreed with him.
 MT. Hoover's statement follows:
 'I actually feel highly oompli- mented by the suggestion of the President and by the large repre- sentation from the western states that l should undertake the direction of the department of the interior. with it's large program of develop ment in the west.
 The President entirely agrees with me. however, that the secre- taryship of commerce at the present time Is of the utmost importance, not only because Of the necessity of building up a department that will really meet the service needs of the whole community, but also in view of the economic problems growing out of the war,
 "The reorganization of the depart ment has made great progress, but the job is not yet complete Many questions before the administration in which the department is con- cerned are but partly solved.
 q felt that l could be of the best service In carrying on the work already undertaken.'

NEW AIRPLANE ENGINE IS BEING DEVELOPED u. s. GOVERNMENT

WASHINGTON. Jan. e.-An air. plane engine which will run ol. .ordi- nary fuel oil instead of gasoline, Is being developed by the national ad- visory committee for aeronautics, it was disclosed today when testimony recently given before House ap- propriations subcommittee by Dr. Charles T. Walcott, chairman of the advisory committee, was made public.
 Dr. Walcott said his labora tories had been developing an experimental engine that is at such a stage that we are confident that in compara- lively short time. may be a. year or two, we shall have fully equipped an engine which will be entirely free from all those objections which the gasoline engine now has.
 Other countries, Dr. Walcott added, are working along the same lines. but the United States, he believes, is far ahead
 The new engine, pr. Walcott said. would be lighter and cheaper and would eliminate the fire hazard. oil would be, injected into cylinders and there exploded. the quality of the fuel being approximately that useu in Diesel engines on ships.
