VIRGO Bay, Spitzbergen, July
1l.-Four haggard, unkempt and dis
consolate men remained on an ice
floe oft Northeastiand today-the
floc on which they were stranded
when the dirigiblc Italia crashed
May 25-as all northern radio
stations were tuned to catch signals
that might indicate their fate.
Radio calls from the ice encamp-
ment have been few in the last
"a hours. Among the last was one
from Giusoppi Biagi which had Il
most discOnSolate note:
Rescue is SO near and yet 50
far.
Since then there have been few
direct messages save one from the
Russian ice breaker Krassin which
indicated that one Of the men had
become insane and walked away
from his three comrades.
The long hours have told on the
men. Lieut. Einar-Paal Lundborg,
who was trapped with them for
several days, said that one of their
greatest temptations had been to
walls to the NortheaStland shore
which glistencd cnticinglv only a
few kilomctcrs from their cncamn-
mcnt. The men had little or no
chance to make the shore, at was
shown by the disappearance Of
Finn Malmgren and two aides, and
Of Captain Sora.
Rescue today was near and vet
so far. Airplanes are held in
readiness throughout this vast Arctic
area-but they seem useless. The
ice floe is rapidly melting under
the summer Arctic temperature.
Captain Thornberg of the Swedish
air expedition said that rescue must
be within a few days or the four
men left on the ice cncampment
must be given up as dcad-iust as
have 20-odd men who participated
in the Italia : polar flight or relief
expeditions, been given up as dead.

Word comes from the Nushagak River that the run of red salmon was the largest since 1905. Some 5 100000 reds were packel by the ranneries while the escape to the lakes and upper tributaries was the greatest in many years. Everybody thought the run of silver salmon would be the same and waited for them for dog feed but the run was very light and dog feed is the Scarcest in m:zly years.

 Asked if any state leaders had told him about the condition of the farmers. Whether they were suf- ferinG or in prosperous circum- stances. the governor said he did not think such information could be ob- talned except through statistics.
 You cannot tell anything about a fellows financial condition by look ing at him." he said.

 Senator Norris Stand

 He did not endorse Smith?" some one asked.
 NO Wheeler replied. he did not endorse Smith but he approved of his speech at Denver an also the one on agriculture at Omaha. If what she (his secretary) said to me is correct. I would take it as an en- dorsement of his stand on agricul- ture: and he said in substances that the Denver speech was better speech than Hoover's on water DOW er"
 Wheeler was asked what would be the effect of Governor Maddock of North Dakota running for election as democrat after at one time hav- ing been elected as a republican with farm organization support.
 Twill his detection or his bolting to Smith offset the support of Fra zier and Nye to Hoover:" was the. question put.

Understanding Too.
 London. Sept. :6 R1The recent assertion of the Rome newspaper La Tribuna that the Anglo French naval compromise was only part Of an understanding dealing. among other things with distribution of Britain's and Frances air forces at- tracted the attention of some Lon don papers this morning.
 The Daily Telegraph used the ltal- ian papers statement as 2 basis for a severe attack on the British gov crnment's foreign diplomacy, assert ing that it had created general sus- picion owing to its secrecy.
 The Telegraph stressed the naval compromise. saying: "Very serious proposals with quite unnecessary mystery. In the presen, state ol American opinion the only reason- able view to be taken of the naval agreement is that it can lead to nothing but an increase in the irrita- ton with which the failure of Presi- dent Coolidges effort at Geneva was regarded in the United States." 7.
