WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 1.-THE
primary object of the Macmillan Navy
expedition sailing from Boston today is
to make photographic survey by air
plane of the last great unknown region
of the northern hemisphere, that ter
ritory lying between the North Pole and
Alaska and covering 100000 square
miles.
Scarcely less in Importance will be
the exploration of little known regions
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, meteoro-
eical conditions, and other scientific
questions of the far north will be
studied.
Due to the high mobility given BY air
planes, however, the expedition intends
to be absent little more than three
months, as it is estimated that an air,
plane in one daya.can accomplish as
much in exploration as could be done
bv dog sled in more than a month. If
all goes well the party will be in full
retreat toi the south sby early fall, in
time to avoid the heavy ice movement
which by October / will to large ex-
tent block the passage of vessels around
northwest Greenland.
\ The expedition is headed by Donald
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 air
planes and other suppffes.
Heading the navy contingent is Lieut.

HALTED
Captain Hanson Says "All
Is Tight" in Del Rio
District.

A large smuggling ring with head
quarters at Monterey, and operating
solely for the purpose of smuggling
aliens into this country, is believed
to have been broken up with the arrest
at Del Rio Of a man who is be-
lieved to be the head Of the smugSlers,
according to Captain w. Fl. Hanson,
head of the immigration forces OF
this district, who returned from Del
Rio Saturday.
With the cooperation and in com
pany with Felix Salinas, inspector
Of immigration in Nuevo Laredo, Cap
tain Hanson made a thorough inspcc
ton of border immigration work in the
vicinity of Del Rio and Eagle Pass.
ARREST IL ALIENS.
1t was while he was on the border
that the smuggler and his assistant
were arrested.
The smuggler chief. Captain Han
son said, is believed to be the direct
ing head of the Monterey smuggling
gang which has been slipping aliens
into this country for long time.
Many aliens are now assembled in
Monterrey he said. waiting to be
brought into this country by the or
ganizatiou.
Twelve aliens who had been SNUG
gled into this country were. also ar
rested near Del Kio.
They included >talians, three Ger
mans, two Greeks. and two Poles.
One of the aliens escaped from the
officers while he ~as being taken to
Del Rio and fled into a canyon.
The officers knew the gorge was o
blind canyon, with only the one en-,
trance, so they pitched camp there
and waited.
Three days later the alien, nearly
starved and wild, appeared.
He was subdued after a hard fight.
"ALL is TIGHT"
"All is tight along the Rio Grande
today" Captain Hanson said.
THAT is, speaking from a SNUG
Cling viewpoint and of the Del Rio
territory.
Il believe that smugglers and un'
desirable aliens will find it almost
impossible to come across the border
now.
"We are receiving excellent coop
Grafton from the Mexican authorities
and Mr.. Salinas, who worked with me
while 1 was there, showed a des;se
to cooperate in every way possible.
"All roads from Monterey are being
watched, and 1 feel confident the
aliens congregated there will fall into
the net if they try to cross to this
side"
