CALLS UNANSWERED
by United Press Leased Wire

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May H.
Local radio stations joined with
others during the night in sending
out unanswered calls to the dirigibIe
Norge.
No word has come from the craft
since she sputtcred forth the mes
sage "this is the airship Norge
bound for Nome shortly before
midnight Wednesday.
Radio men are unable to account
for the craft s failure to broadcast
further. If later calls have been
made by the Norge, it is believed
unlikely that every station i'll the
territory would fail to hear them
and so far none has exported further
word from the ship.
Unless static interference has
blocked the Norgc's messages, the
only other probability admitted is
that the craft s radio outfit is out
of service.

CAN'T CHART COURSE
BY DAVID DIETZ
lIInifed Pracc Cfaff Hnr-,acnnnaan4

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May IA
Reports today that fog and mist
hung over the Bering Straits were
interpreted by DR.. j. j. Nassau, di-
rector Of the Case astronomical OBJ
servatorv, as meaning that Amund-
sen would find it almost impossible
to chart the course of his dirigible,
the Norge.
DR.. Nassau explained the methods
of reckoning the position of dirig-
iblc and the difficulties which are
entailcd.
"The dirigible is steered by
means of an instrument known as
the solar compass,' he said. "This
instrument is very much like the
sextant used on ocean ships. It's
purpose is to read the height of al
ttude of the sun above the horizon.
However, instead of using the ac-
tual horizon, as the sextant does,
this instrument makes use of the
so-called artificial horizon made of
mercury.
Automatic Reading
'The instrument is 50 arranged
that when the sun s altitude has been
obtained the latitude of the ship s
position can be read automatically
from the instrument This is pOss-
iblc because there is a direct rela-
tion between the altitude of the
sun at any place and the latitude of
the place.
''When you are ut the north pole,
the sun s observed altitude is ex-
actly equal to its actual declina-
ton. That is how Amundsen could
tell when he was at the North pole.
At this time of the year the sun S
declinatiOn is about 20 degrees.
'Thc ships longitude is obtain
ed from the solar compass also. The
sun g position gives the local time.
1T will be seen, therefore, that
Amundsen is dependent upon his
ability to see the sun to know where
he is.
At the north pole the latitude is
90 degrees and, owing to the mathc
matte which enter into the function
ing Of the solar compass, this com
pass is the least exact and the most
difficult to use at this latitude.
