SOLE HOPE
 FOR MOBILES MEN
Experienced Explorers See
 Rescue Only From Air

Oslo Norway, May g R-Mon experienced in penetrating the bleak arctic today placed their re- liance on large airplanes for use in search of the dirigible Italia miss ing with s men. The planes will use ships equipped for work among the ice foes of the north as bases.
 Search by ship alone was regard cd as futile, especially after the 1talia's base ship, the Citta Di Mi lano. became ice-bound.
 The Swedish steamship Broganza today was en route from Tromsoe to Spitzbergen to aid in the search.
 While the Norwegian government awaited approval of the Italian government for extensive plans, one rescue expedition got under way hoping to reach Kings Bay late this week. Lieutenant Luetzow Holm flew in a seaplane from Hor- ten to join the sealer Hobby al Tromsoe. Using the Hobby as a base he will explore the north and northeast coasts of Spitzbergen.
 Captain Riiser- Larsen, who will probably lead the main Norwegian relief expedition. believes that the Italia came down on the ice some where north of Spitzbergen. He thinks an air survey of this dis trict offers the best prospects of finding the diriSible since every meteorological condition seems to point to the Italia's being north of her base
 Captain George H. Wilkins and Lieutenant Carl E. Eielson, who flew from Alaska to Spitzbergen, volunteered their services in the search to Premier Mussolini of Italy. They also participated in conferences planning expeditions, as did other men with knowledge of the inhospitable polar regions, such as Roald Amundsen and Cap tain Otto Sverdrup.
 Captain Wilkins and Lieutena nj Elelson sent this message 10 Musso- lini:
 Learning that the Norwegian government has placed Captain Fliser-Larsen at the head Of an eX- petition at your disposal. We real ize that everything will be done in most competent manner. If it is considered that the services of our machine or ourselves can be of the

BREACH IS WIDE
 AS SESSION ENDS
Congress and White House Far
 From RecOnCled

Washington. May oa P,-The closing days of the first session of the roth congress were enlivened by the widest breach that has develop ed between the capitol and the White House since the break in the trst Cleveland administration which added an unrivaled chapter to American political life.
 AS was the case 42 years ago when Grover Cleveland turned back to congress 1l6 bills without his signature. the gulf this year had its source in the constitutional pow ed of the r-esident 10 veto the work of the legislative establish ment.
 Although the Cleveland record bids fair to stand the test Of time, MT. Coolidge set a modern record of disappearing l3 bills. Congress on its part likewise set a modern mark in overriding the president on three of the six which were brought to a vote for repassage, which required | tWo-thirds ma jority.
 Out of the veto-voting skirmish in both houses the president thus emerged with 5o-50 average, but his record with the senate alone was not so good That chamber, in an unprecedented furry, in one day overrode the president four times and failed on a fifth attempt by only a handful of votes,
 The victory of the greatest impor- tance, however, went to MT. Cool idge. That was on the McNary- Haugen arm relief bill which con- gress passed in the face of d warn- ing that veto was its fate. With its second veto in as many years. hinged principally upon its eauali- zation fee provisions, the bill went back to the senate where on it's or iginal passage it won the support of more than tWo-thirds of those voting.
 On the final show down after the veto, that proportion of strength dwindled and the lack of four votes on the affirmative side transferred the subject of farm relief from a legislative 10 solely political status,
 Ot the Is bills vetoed the farm measure was the only one of wide spread interest. One other bill that stirred up considerable sentiment and which successfully repassed both houses wasAhe Tyson -F'itzger- aid measure to give retirement pay to disabled emergency World War officers.

NORTHERN QUEBEC IS
 MENACED BY FLOODS
Lake st. John Region Seriously Hampered With } Towns
 Completely Cut on,

Chlcoutlmi, Que. May s9 P-The lake St. John district of Northern Quebec today faced one of the most menacing floods in its history. Three towns have been complete iy cut of by flood waters which rose without warning and the homeless residents are faced with a food shortage. So far no lives have been reported lost. Landslides have swept away many farm homes. The towns of Petit SaSucnay, St Feliclan and L'Anse St. Jean have been isolated hv the floods. In the latter village 'hc damage was esti- mated at Sl5",o0o. Fifty landslides were reported in that vicinity. Travellers who left Petit Saguenay before the waters cut off further travel said the river had risen with cut warning and that only the heroic work of the clergy in warning resi- dents of the approaching flood pre- vented loss of life.
 The last reports from St. Felicia n said the water was running through the streets of the village three feet deep.
 Settlers were reported marOoned on high spots of ground and facing starvation unless relief is carried
 through to them soon.

least aid to our friend Mobile, please consider us yours to com mand"
 Captain Riiser-Larsen was the right hand man Of Amundsen and Ellsworth in the Norge expedition across the north pole in 1926. He has much experience in flying in arctic regions and is dirigible eA- pert as well.
 Captain Wilkins said his airplane. which Is at Bergen. was built for landing on and starting from the ice and therefore was less suitable for the purposes of the Italia search than planes constructed for landing on water. If his services are re- quired, he will fly to Spitzbergen, search its east coast and then go on to Northeast Land, where he thinks that General Mobile and his party landed. If that search proves in vain he will fly 10 Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemblya
 Captain Wilkins believes that the Italia landed before it's fuel was ex- fausted. General Mobile allowing it to drift as d free balloon until a landing place was near and then using the reserve fuel supply to bring the dirisible to it.
 Captain SNerdrup vetains the hope that the Italia still is drifting and may be saved. Captain Riser. Larsen believes the airship was lost but that the crew may be alive on the ice.
