OSLO, May 27.-The Norwegian
government is now prepared, If
necessary, to send relief expedition

f1ierS.
This represents change of front

planes which are ready to depart at
moments notice.
Up to this evening-six days since
the jump off-there was no news of
the explorers.
Captain Gustav Amundsen, broth
er of Roald, remains confident. He
told the United Press he would be
disappointed if his brother returned
too soon, since that might indicate
lack of careful scientific observa-
ton at the pole.
Captain Otto Sverdrup, Arctic ex-
plorer, declared there had been al
ready too much fuss about Amund-
sen, declaring that one must not
expect of him the impossible. In
other words he anticipated that some
time had to be taken for observa-
tions.
Other men acquainted with the
polar regions joined in holding there

turn safely to Kings Bay. Spitz-

By Blythe 0. Hendricks

With all lap records for the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
shattered beyond the widest
dreams of fans, drivers and
track experts in elimination
trials Tuesday, indications
were today that the winner of
the annual 500-mile race Satur-
day must do better than 100
miles an hour to win.
Leon Duray in his Miller Special
won the pole position with four laps
at 1916 miles an hour, closely
followed by Peter De Paolo, who
despite broken water pump put his
Duesenberg around the track at
average speed of 1908 miles an
hour. Fifteen others OF the eighteen
cars to qualify bettered the 100 mile
mark.
De PaOlO Holds Record
Harry Hartz, who qualified at
112-43 miles an hour will be the
other driver in the front with Duray
and De Paolo at the start of the
race. Six drivers smashed the old
track record of 1O8.17 miles an hour
for one lap, set by Tommy Milton
two years ago, and Peter De Paolo
now holds that honor with a lap at
the dazzling speed Of 114.2S5 miles
an hour, a speed lShich had been
pronounced impossible on the low
banked turns Of the Indianapolis
track by racing experts.
