RADIO LISTENS FOR HOP
 OF WILKINS OVER POLE
Win Jump for SpitzMrgen as soon as Weather Im-
 proves.

seward, Alaska, April Pi-Eadic stations again awaited word of Cap tain George II. Wilkins hop off from Point Barrow for Spitzbcrgen, o.l0Q miles away on tho other side of the North Pole.
 For two days they had listened fruitlcssly for q message that Will kns and his pilot, Lieut.. Ben Eiel- son had headed out from the north crnmost point Of Alaska into the blind spot of the Arctic. Wilkins ra = dioed that cloudy weather had kept lis plane on the ice Thursday, the date set for his takc-off. He was silent yesterday and last night and it was assumed that the weather had not improved.
 Hope that conditions would change and the plane start today kept government operators at their phones.
 The aerial explorers evidently never have made their contemplated short flights from Barrow, as Will kins never has mentioned them in his nightly communications nor has the government station heard the plane in the air. Their plane, how ever. was thoroughly tested for Arctic conditions before it was flown to Barrow.

Asserts He's Not Interested in
 Becoming Vice President

Boston. April : NP) -Goypruor a'Nan !. Fuller is not interested in either tn" vice-presidential or scna- torial nomination.
 Massachusetts republican cNecu- tive made this clear last nigh, in a public statement in which he verbal ly "spankcd' his secretary, Harman A. Macdonald for writing an unau- 1horizcd letter of criticism to Rep rcscntativc Allen T. TrvadWay, dean of the Massachusetts delegation in tn" house.
 In his letter, Macdonald. without the governors knowledge or consent, took TreadWay to task for "failing' to support Fuller for the vicr-pr,si- dential nomination..
 Chides Macdonald
 "1 think Captain Macdonald must be in love or something" the gover- nor said after receiving letter from Treadway and a copy of the letter which the secretary had mailed to the congressman. "B cause every time ] go away he gets in trouble writing letters. I'll tell him 10 re- strain his boyish enthusiasm"
 T have just learned over the phone on my return from New York of a letter Mir. Macdonald wrote to Congressman Treadway about my candidacy for pr"sid, mt or vice president the governor said.
 'Please allow me to say I knew nothing of this letter. If had I would have stopped it.
 'I have always considered th" governorship Of Massachusetts as second only 10 the presidency. and l assure you I am not interested in any minor jobs as vice president or senator or anything like that.
 Besides, l understand they usual ly go 10 Indiana for the vice prcsi- dent--at least, I recall that Tom Marshall once said that the reason why there had been SO many vice presidents from Indiana was becaus" there were nor" first class second men in Indiana than any other state in the Union."
