AIRSHlP DECLARES COSTLY
 FOR USEFUL EXPLORATION

STOCKHOLM, Mar. 9.-Airship ex- ploration of the polar region is fin ancially wasteful, and better scienti- fic results can be obtained at a small fraction of the cost through the use of an old-fashioned, moderate-sized windjammer, according to Captain Hugo N. Pallin, a Swedish explorer, who has placed before the Anthropo- logical and Geographic Society of Sweden a detailed plan to investi- gate one of the still unknown white spots" about the North Pole. An in- herent disadvantage of the ai1shlp for polar work, Captain Pallin says, is the lack of transportation facili- ties after making landing.
 The Arctic region now best worth studying Captain Pallin considers tC be the one north of Siberia, particu larly theneighborhood of Nicholas Il land. About this territory little is known. It may be as large as Nova Zembla, and may be connected thru series of islands with Franz Jasel Land. What Captain Pallin proposes to do is to equip hunting vessel of about 80 tons, having auxiliary mo tors and then stay in the Arctic at least two and perhaps three years Tne crew he would limit U sever men, of which three wou.1 be sci entists. The total cost would 10 be over $oO,OO0

ceptable to That Body

The Muscle Shoals legislation,
after a hectic course through the
Senate, has been returned to the

today how to pass it along to com
pletion or defeat.
In doubt as to the better way to
dispose of it, the bill is permitted
to slumber on the Speakers table
while friends and foes work out in
unofficial conferences future plans
or its consideration.
Under House rules. it requires
unanimous consent by the HOUSE
to send the bill to conference be-
fore its consideration by the Mill
tary Affairs Committee, or the In.
vocation OF special powers Of the
House through adoption OF a gae
rule to silence opposition to this
course.
Two Views Taken.
House leaders generally. includ
ing Longworth. Chairman McKen
sic, Of the Military Affairs Com.
nnittee, Speaker Gillett and others
favor sending the bin to conference
for perfecting the legislation
Congressman like Hull, Iowa, and
James, Michigan, who have taken
q lively interest in the legislation
believe the bill as passed by the
Senate should receive consideration
and study by the Military Affairs
Committee.
1t is expected, . decision on tlae
course to be followed will be reached
today by the leaders.
Warnings have been received by
House leaders from the Senate tina
any return of the bill to that body
except as q conference report agree
to by the conferees VIII spell defsat
Of the legislation for the present seS
sion Of Congress.
In making their decision as to thu
better method Of handling the bill
House leaders will be influenced BY

The Attorney General said that

Hoover Probe Started.
The subject is under investiga'
ton by Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover. who received complaints
that prison-made goods are offer
ing serious competition to products
of free labor in some sections or
the country.
After a survey of the prison sys-
TEN, following disclosures of graft
and corruption at Atlanta penlten'
tiary, Stone adopted a policy OF an
eight-hour work day for all physi-
cally fit prisoners. He has issued
instructions for the immediate in
auguration Of this policy at At
lanta where a new set Of execu'
tives will soon take charge.
Prisoners at all Federal institu-
lions must be kept busy at some
productive and instructive vocation.
according to Stones instructions.
Purchaser To Be Named.
A new purchasing agent to re-
place D. j. Allen, one of the dis
charged officials at Atlanta, will
be named soon, according to Stone.
He said that this post will assume

derstood Stones policies relating
to prisons would be carried out BY
his successor and that a continued
study of prisons and the pardon
and parole system would be car

measures.

Relief In Sight.
Stone said that erection Of the
Women's Federal Prison, authorized
bv Congress, and the building or
reformatory for first offenders, the
construction Of which is proposed,
will relieve the situation somewhat.
A decision as to locating the WON
ans prison is expected this week at
a conference of Stone, Secretary
Of the Interior Work and Secretary
of Labor Davis. All sites but Alder
son, w. Va, and Delphi, Ind, are
said to have been eliminated.
Department of Justice officials
said that it is unsatisfactory to
quarter Federal prisoners in State

this contract system will be abot

modations can be provided. :.
