OBJECT, PLANS AND
PERSONNEL IN TRIP
COM. MACMILLAN

washington. June 17.-(AP)-The
primary object of the Macmillan
Navy Expedition sailing from Boston
TODAY is to make a photographic
survey by airplane of the last great
unknown region of the northern
hemisphere, that territory lying be-
tween the North Pole and Alaska
and covering 100000 square miles.
Scarcely less in Importance will be
the exploration of little known reg
ions such as Ellesmere Island, Grant
Land, Baffin Island and sections of
Labrador, as well as the ancient
Morse settlements on the western
edge Of Greenland. In addition plant
and animal life, meteorological con-
ditions, and other scientific questions
of the far north will be studied.
Due to the high mobility given by
airplanes, however. the expedition
intends to be absent little more than
three months, as 1t is estimated that
an airplane in one day can accom-
plish as much in exploration as
could be done by dog sled in more
party will be in full retreat to the
south by early fall, in time to avoid
the heavy ice movement which by
October / will to large extent block
the passage Of vessels around north
west Greenland.
The expedition is headed by Dom
aid B. Macmillan, veteran Of many
Arctic explorations, and is sponsored
by the National Geographic Society,
which has contributed to it's support
both in money and personnel, while
the navy will be participant
through personnel assigned to it on
active duty and airplanes and other
supplies.

Sec. Wilbur Makes
Statement on Plans
To Seek Amundsen

Washington, June 17-(AP)-The
navy section of the Macmillan ex-
petition to the Arctic will make
special flights in search of the miss
ing Amundsen party IL information
justifying such action is received.
Secretary Wilbur said today, but no
detailed instructions on the matter
will be given the party and the avia-
tors are not expected to take any un-
usual hazards in that work.
In formal statement, Mr.. Wilbur
said: In regard to the plans for the
relief of Amundsen, want to repeat
concerning the purpose of the Mac
MILAN and navy expedition, that 1t
had nothing to do with the relief Of
Apundsen, and we expect Comman-
der Byrd to carry out the plans as
agreed upon and fully Understood. IL,
however, information is received con-
corning the plans of Amundsen and
with some degree of prob
ability whether a search for him
would be reasonably justified then, OF
course, those in charge of the navy
planes will not only carry out their
routine flights, but will make any
special flights deemed necessary to
discover the whereabouts of Amund-
sen, but in so doing they are not ex-
pected to take any unusual hazards
except such hazards are justified by
the actual discovery of the where
abouts of Amundsen. No detailed in
tructions will be given to the party
other than that they shall carry out
their plans"

In message received by the same
amateur tonight it was announced
that broadcasting from the ship
would be abandoned for the sending
Of press messages from to 10 p. NJ,
and for navy messages from II p. M.
to / A. M.
The earlier dispatch told of the
crews delight over the send off given
them on their departure from the
Charlestown navy yard today. With
the din of whistles and cannon still
In their ears, the crew, 1t was said,
set to work making the ship ready
for the rough seas that may be en-
countered on her way to Greenland"
The radio news from the Peary in
cluded mention of an announcement
by Lieutenant Commander Donald B.
Macmillan, head Of the Arctic expedi-
ton, relative to the success of broad
casting trials made a few days ago
from Boston with the transmitting
sets to be taken to the far north.
Messages had been picked UP in De-
troit, the lieutenant commander was
quoted as saying today, and this dis
lance, about 900 miles. the explorer
pointed out, was longer than the
sounds would have to carry from the
furthest point reached by his party.
