MANY HAVE DISAPPEARED

Whether the fleet is legendary or really exists is one of the problems haunting Arctic navigators for years Vessels have disappeared into the un- explored polar basin ever since the beginning of the Arctic navigation In one great swoop the death fanged ice pack in 1876 carried off 30 whaling boats from the waters of the Ameri- can continent All but 70 of the men escaped to Point Barrow but the ships were frozen hard and high into the pack. The ide fields covering mil lion square miles rotates around the central pole slowly in the same di- rection of the earth's movement and in cycles brings objects gradually back to certain spots.
 Eskimos who have escaped from the ice pack after being carried far North into the unexplored wasts have re- turned with tales of silent ships hard and fast in the white bergs. Some tells of seeing ship sitting alone in a vast solicitude. Others report several boats close together but frozen solid miles and miles in the Arctic interior. WATCH FOR PHANTOM
 Tn the hope that some day the ice will break up and release one or more of the phantoms Eskimos each spring eagerly scan the returning open wat CTS. Should one of the old boats es- cape in good condition and be cast on shore near the native villages they might revel in, the wealth of wood, steel and iron instruments and vari- ous stores. Once solidly frozen in the Arctic, food, clothing, rope, tools and weapons are preserved for all time and return to usefulnes when thawed.
 The first breakup of the polar seas also brings Eskimos a great offering of driftwood in which are found a varied and more or less useful assort- ment of articles.

 LONG LOST VESSELS

NOME, Aug. 2. (P)-While Ameri- can newspaper readers have their at tention centered on the feaFs and perils of arctic aerial exploration, Eskimos of the North Alaskan coast search the horizon for another reason.
 They seek every returning spring for one or more of the phantom fleet, the frozen lost ships, drifting with the simiter ice pack from which sooner or later, some of them must emerge as the great floes break with the sea- sons.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP IDEA
GAINS IN PRESENT CONGRESS
Muscle Shoals and Inland Waterways Bills
Cited as Evidence of Trend Among
legislators.

the Muscle Shoals and the inland
waterway bill and also the general
shipping bin would never advocate the
Government entry into such business
operations, they defend their votes on
the ground that It Is q question OF
economical handling now that the Gov
ernment actually possesses the prop
critics and ships In question.
One OF the most interesting tests
came ON the Shoals bill when the
provisions between the House and Sem
ate were up for discussion The Sem
ate bill sponsored by Senator Norris
had provided that In the sale OF sur
plus electric power at Muscle Shoals,
municipalities should be given prefer
ence over privately plants.
Representative La Guardia offered an
amendment 10 the House bill identical
with the Norris provision and II was
adopted, so that the legislation as finally
drafted contains preference for the
cities having municipal ownership In
the area that can be fed by power from
Muscle Shoals.
On the whole the Government own
ership idea may be said To have gained
ground, though II viii doubtless be dis
puted as 10 whether the voting would
have been the same II the proposals
