SOVIET PLANS
HUNT ON ICE
Amundsen Believed to
Have Joined Party
With Italia Bag

MOSCOW, July 1s.-tP1-Soviet
rescuers today continued efforts to
clear up the fate Of Road Amundsen
n his five missing companions.
Preparations were also made to be-
gin extensive search for the six men
who drifted off TO the east over the
ice field in the bag Of the Italia
after its crash north Of %Spitzbergen.
A special conference of scientists
reiterated their belief that Amund-
sen had joined the balloon group. 1t
was pointed out that Amundsen's
pilot, Captain Rene Guilbaud, could
easily have taken Amundsen to them
in the French seaplane. It was
thought possible that the chassis Of
the plane had been damaged in
%alighting on the ice and that Amund-
sens party had been unable to re-
turn.
The scientists believed that the
group of five survivors headed By
Lieutenant Alfredo Viglieri would
have persisted but for the timely ar
rival Of the Russian ice breaker
krassin since the ice on which they
were marooned was rapidly thinning.
Niglieri in an interview with the
Tass (~soviet news agency cores
pendent aboard the Krassin said that
he believed the condition Of the ice
and the fogE made. the discovery of
the balloon group impossible at this
time. He said a successful search
should only be considered when the
fog cleared. Nevertheless the Rus
sian rescuers went ahead with their
plans.

ID. C. Boys in Hike
Ask Police Aid
To Return Home

Getting to Baltimore was easy for
two Washington boys In search OF
adventure Saturday, but, getting
back home from the Maryland city
proved to be too much for them.
AS a consequence they spent the
night In Baltimore police station,
where their wanderlust soon cooled
off, as they awaited anxiously the
arrival of their worried fathers.
The boys, Ray Sisk, IL. ITO Hamlin
street northeast. and Harold Cox,
II, 320S Seventh street northeast,
we're returned here yesterday by
their relieved parents. The lads ex-
planned that they started on hike
out the Baltimore road and accepted
the offer of a motorist to give them
lift to Baltimore. Bewildered by
Baltimore's streets-and, worse. with
out funds-they finally appealed to
the police for aid in getting back
home.
Local police today were searching
for Elvin TroXel, Is. Of 704 Randolph
street, who left his home Saturday
night on bicycle without leaving
word OF his destination.
