Possibilities of
Air Trade Route
Over Top of World

New York, May 13.-Ht-The
Norge's feat in sailing over the
North Pole has once more brought
the possibilities of trade route over
the top of the world into discussion.
The hours necessary to fly from
Spitzbergen to Alaska over the Arc
tic eliminate many weeks of time
and a voyage half around the world
on the part of ship.
Vardo, Norway. whence the Norge
sailed to Spitzbergen. Is approx
mately 275O miles from Point Bar
row, Alaska, by way of the North
Pole. yardo is in the 10th latitude.
II ship were to follow approx
mately this latitude halfway around
the world it would eventually reach
Point Barrow after traversing some
10000 miles.
For commercial purposes, how
ever, even this course would be i'm
practicable. 1t is doubtful whether
this course could be made by water
under 10000 miles.

Last Word Heard

The last authentic word received
here from the craft. was from st.

the United States Navy has a pow

reported hearing from the Norge five
times last night and early today, the
last time being at 1929 A. NJ, eastern
standard time. (AlI references to
time In reports on the ship In this
item are eastern standard).
At 1923, st. Paul heard the Norge
call an unidentified station and say
Go ahead"
Other reports from Alaska said the
Norge passed over Point Barrow at
1880 A. NJ, and had been expected to
arrive at Nome at A. NJ. Point Bar
on the Arctic coast.
Although all arrangements were
complete to receive the Norge at
Nome, efforts were made today to
reach Amundsen by wireless to get
him to fly on south to Camp Lewis.

Amundsen had arranged with Ralph
Towman, there. Norwegian consul. to

What puzzled watchers here, was

Conferees Face
Task in Branch
Banking Measure

Washington, May 13.-{P1-Facing
further change in conference. the Mac
Fadden branch banking bill was pass
ed TODAY by the Senate with its pro-
visions differing widely from the form
in which they were approved by the
House.
AS It went through the House the
measure carried the Hull amendments,
which were assailed in the Senate
banking committee an don the floor
1t was contended they divided the
country into half branch and half unit
banking by closing the door to further
branch banking by members or the
federal reserve system.
The amendments were stricken out
and provisions inserted permitting
both national and state banking men,
bers of the reserve system to create
branches within the corporate limits
of their home cities in state authoriz-
ing branch banking.
The change Is expected to afford the
battle issue in conference. Already
manoeuvering has begun to reach q
compromise with prospects that major
portions of the bill may again be re-
written.
The bill passed the Senate without
a record vote after two days discus
sion.
Sponsors Of the bin claim that II
would place members OF the reserve
system on parity with outside banks
and would strengthen the system by
offering inducements to banks to as.
sumo membership.
The bill does not affect existing
branches and banks having branches
would be eligible to come into the sys-
tenn without closing them. In addition
the measure would provide permanent
charters for federal reserve banks and
would extend the time for which ma.
tional banks may make real estate
loans from one to five years.
