WILKINS WILL PROBOBLY
 TACKLE SOUTH POLE

LOS ANGELES, (P) - The Ex- aminer says in a copyrighted story today, quoting J. K. Northrop, the designer of the Wilkins Locked plane, that Wilkins will be in Los Angeles in four or five weeks ready to fly over the uncharted Antarctic wastes.
 Northrop says: Wilkins wants to learn if there is an unbroken continental chain at the South Pole He told me he wants to find out if there is land in the regions which so far. have defed all ex- plorers."
 From the statement of MT. North rup and the story in the Examiner, a possible race between Captain Wilkins and Commander Byrd is seen.

 TESTED IN PRIMARIES

WASHINGTON, D. C.. -Wl,n Presidential primaries on today's $ political calendar. in Ohio, Massa- chusetts. Pennsylvania and Alaska the fight in Ohio for delegates to the Republican National Convention held the chief interest, largely ;,e- cause Of its bearing on Hoover's candidacy
 Due to lack of contest the ballut- ing in Pennsylvania and Massachu setts attracted less attention. In Ohio one slate of fifty delegates is pledged to Hoover. Others. since the death of Willis, show leaning toward a half a dozen Republican presidential possibilities including Lowden and Dawes. The Democrat ic organization slate forty-eight del egates of the Ohio committee to former Senator Atlee Pomerene as first choice. Pennsylvania have an uninstructed delegation of seventy nine delegates at Kansas City and seventy-six at Houston. While the Republican delegates from Massa chusetts number thirty-nine and .he the Democrats thirty-six, there a"e only a few contests to be settled at the polls. Although the Alaskans have no vote for President in Nov ember. the Republicans in the Ter ritory resorted to the primary s7s- tenn to select two delegates to Kan sas City, with the Democrats goine through the formality of ratifyine the slate of six delegates pledged to support Smith.

BIG VOTE BEING PoLLED

Up To the hour of going to press, about P. NJ. there were between three and four hundred votes cast in the primary election in the city today. As the polls do not close until | P. NJ. it is believed that the total vote cast will be between four and five hundred.
 Most of the candidates have been busy turnout the day furthering their own ends to be elected and also in the interst of getting out a large vote The question as to who will head the ticket lat either end" is still mystery and the one that can call the turn could make barrel of money.
 Much interest is manifested in the election. due to the large num- Der of candidates for the different offices. The women candidates are getting their share of the vote and many surprises are looked forward to by many of the voters. If you have not as yet voted, VOTE.

WILKINS TELLS ABOUT
 NORTH POLE FLIGHT

SPITZBERGEN, tF) = Captain George Wilkins states that he start ed from Point Barrow on April 15, at ten o'clock a. m., Alaska time.
 The starting place had to be al tered as the runway proved too short for the heavily laden plane. The new runway which was cover ed with loose snow was trodden down for a width of five feet only. so that exact steering was necessary 10 avoid a crash.
 Captain Wilkins passed places where Peary had been, and sighted Grant Land He passed three hun dred miles East of the North Pole. The weather, he says, was fine all the way with thn exception of a little fog.
 Throughout the 1rir he main tained an altitude of one thousand feet except when at times it was necessary to rise to an altitude of thirtyfve hundred feet to get above light, fleecy clouds No land was sighted, he says, that has not pre- viously been discovered.

NEW YORK, (P) - The Times, in copyrighted article today de- scribed that Wilkins Polar flight vas made under adverse condi- toons and ended under the great est peril. The takeoff from Point Barrow. despite the help Of q large hand of volunteer snow shoveller5 from among the Eskimos. failed three times before the heavily load ed plane could be raised. the skis of the landing gear breaking each time.
 Finally on Sunday morning, Ap- Til 18th, start was made in good weather with excellent visibility for five hundred miles, which slow y changed to an even gray with light, fleecy cloud banks. There was no sign of land and it was too dangerous to attempt land ing for soundings.
 Nine hundred miles from Spitz- bergen stormy winds were encount- cred by the flyers. They ran into heavy clouds over a turbulent ocean and were forced to land on an is land when they found their gasoline running low.
 The storm grew worse and they were forced to stay on Dead Man Island for five days during the worst possible Arctic weather.
 Captain Wilkins experienced much difficulty in rising from Dead Man Island from whence the plane com pleted the flight within one hour.
