There were two clashes between

no injuries were reported. The dis
turbafce was the Iatest of 4 series
of Khan and anti-Klan troubles in

As the Khan meeting IN Brewer

burning of d cross, broke up, police.
were informed that the KlAnsnel
were going to parade through CIin

aroused BY the repeated ringing
the fire alarms. but the Khan "a

Wild reports were circulated about
the disturbances. One report to the

Norway Delays Call
On u. S. for Help to
Find Arctic AviatOrs

OSLO, Norway, May 27.--Clear-
ing weather and bright skies in
the polar region gave scientists and
members of the. Amundsen Els
worth party who are still at Spitz-
bergen renewed hope today that
Amundsen and his five associates
would return in safety from their
North Pole flight.
A greater length of time must
elapse, it was indicated by Gov.
ernment officials before there is
sufficient apprehension on the part
of the Norwegian government to
outside agency to send searchers
after AmundSen.
1t will be, they said, at least
several days more before the Gov
ernment will consider steps should
be taken to determine what has
happened to the Amundsen- Ellis
worth fliers.
Great interest was displayed here
in reports from the United States
quoting Bernard Prentice, brother
in-laW of Ellsworth, as saying that
Ellsworth had said the party might
go on to Alaska If it succeeded in
making a successful flight to the
pole.
oclenIlSIS pointed out that Amunu'
sen and his party were well sup.
| piled with food and clothing and
would have every opportunity to
make a safe journey back by foot
in case of accident to the two aero
planes.
Prestrud, one of Amundsen's col
leagues on the south pole expedi-
ton, said he had not given up hope
and would not, even if several
| months passed without news.
He recalled that three days were
found necessary to fix the position
of the south pole He believes, he
said, it would take similar length
of time to fix the position of the
north pole, where conditions, he
thinks, are more difficult.
PreStrud does not see why
Amundsen should not overcome all
difficulties even If he has to march
afoot as did Nansen.
