Experienced Explorer Doubts
If Shenandoah Can Make ;
Junket With Safety.
BY CHARLES A. SMITH,
International News Service

LONDON, Mar. 5.-Grave doubts
as to whether the Shenandoah will
succeed in reaching the North Pole
safely in case the trip IL under.
taken were expressed by Capt.
Joseph Bernier. the famous Arctic
explorer, in an interview mere.
A Canadian citizen, Captain Der.
nier has made ten EXPEDITIONS to
the Arctic, and has announced his
intention Of shortly making an
eleventh with the object Of formally
taking possession of the islands in
the North Pole area in the name Of
Britain. His knowledge Of that
area Is said by many to be unrival.
led.
Very Great Task.
ITO my mind" said Bernier, in
discussing the Shenandoah's project,
the task which the Americans are
setting themselves is a very great
one indeed.
''Having had a very long. az.
perience Of the Arctic regions, the
question l ask myself is, how are
the airmen proposing to overcome
one of tn cir worst difficulties, that
Of frozen fog?
1.-The wind which comes from the
South cools when it gets over the
ice and freezes, with the result that
a solid mass settles on everything
In the vicinity, the rigging Of a
ship for instance, becoming very
quickly coated with q thick mass
on it.
1.-THE encountering Of such a fog
Is fraught with considerable danger
even to ship, but the airmen must
be subject to a very grave disad-
vantage If they happen upon it for
1t will settle .thiclxly upon the en-.
velope unlessNthe navigators have
an extraordinary amount of luck.
In this event 1t may be necessary
for them to land, but all they will
have below them will be pack ice,
which is very rough and rugged.
Only Water Then, He Says.
II certainly view the project as
one attended by q very great
amount Of risk.
I'm my view, the North Pole con.
sist only Of water to a depth Of
about 1000 fathoms. In effect, it
may be said to represent the hole

COOLIDGE TOLD
/ MELLON PLAN
IS LOST
Senate Leaders Understood to
Oppose Veto on Compro-
mise Tax Measure.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

Republican leaders Of the Senate
hastened to inform President Cool
idge today that there is no hope
that the Senate will kill the tax
reduction bill passed by the House
and go back to the original Mellon
program.
The Mellon rates, the President
was informed, was lost beyond hope
Of redemption, and some doubt was
even expressed that the Senate will
(; be able to hold the coalition OF
Democrats and insurgents to tho
figures contained in the Longworth
compromise. Some hope exists that
the maximum surtax Of 37h per
cent. written into the House bill,
may be cut down to IS, but it Is
forlorn one at best.
Discussion at White House.
There was a very frank talk about
the tax situation at the White
House this morning between Presi.
dent Coolidge, Senator James E.
Watson Of Indiana and Senator
Moses Of New Hampshire. The
Senators went to the executive Of.
fices to acQuaint Mr.. Coolidge with
the situation in the Senate right
the heels of yesterdays announce.
ment from the White House thar
the President was standing by tho
Mellon bill"
Mr.. Coolidge has been frankly ad-
viSed by Republican leaders at tho
Capitol that the Longworth bill
represents about the best compro-
mise the Republicans can make with
the Democrat-insurgent coalition.
They have told him that he should
figure on approving or vetoing a
bill that ultimately will follow very
closely the rates therein prescribed.
notwithstanding they are far cry
from the original Mellon rates.
Leaders Oppose Veto.
They have advised the President,
too, that the bill should be ap-
proved. Republican leaders do not
believe the country would under
stand or accept" a veto Of a meas
ure that affords such widespread
tax relief as is contained in the
Longworth bill, notwithstanding the
fact that business interests generally
disapprove Of the 37h per cent sur
tax.
The Senate Finance Committee
, probably will render a majority re-
port favorable to the Mellon rates,
as did the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of the House. But, as in the
House, the certainty exists that
these rates will be beaten in voting
on the floor, and the Longworth
or Democratic rates substituted.
