On board supply ship Gertrud Rask, near Angmagsolik, Greenland, Aug. s. (By wireless to the Associated Press) Ice conditions along the coast of Greenland are worse than they have been in many years and are 90 bad that the American nd-the-world fiiers probably will have to refuel on the North Atlantic on the edge of the Ice field or land in the open water near their supply ship, the Gertrud Rask, or fly directly from Reykjavtk to Ivigtut, Greenland.
 After encountering an ice fie,d 36 miles wide along the easi cost of Greenland. the Gertrud Rask stuck fast in the heavy polar ice IS miles from shore and now is unable to move or withdraw. Unless the fee Is scat tered by a westerly wind, the ves- sel probably will not be able to free herself from ice for several weeks.
 The ship is now moving slowly down the coast toward Cape Fare. we'll at the southern tip of Greenland, with the ice field, accompanied by many glaciers. The predicament of the Gertrud Rask. 1t Is expected, will not hold up the fiers since the airmen will be able to skip the stop 1t Angmagsalik and get through to Greenland by one of the three other alternatives.
