ITALIA WINGS
IT'S WAY OVER
POLE ICE CAP
Mobile Plans Landing to Plant
Cross Given Him by
Pope Plus
PRIEST GIVES BLESSING
Scientists to Conduct Investi-
CATION If Weather Condi.
tions Permit
PRIEST GIVES BLESSING

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, May %.
-OF-The dirigible Italia started
northward at 4:4O a. M, today
across the polar ice cap with the
north pole, $50 miles away, its OBJ
jective. General Umberto Mobile,
commander Of the expedition, hoped
to land at the pole to make explor-
ations and to plant a cross given
him by Pope Plus.
This cross was blessed and kissed
by Father Safranohci, priest Of the
expedition just before the start. The
crew Of the Italia witnessed the
ceremony.
General Mobile had hoped to get
away on his third trip over polar
regions just before midnight. He
was delayed because of the necessity
of making minor repairs.
The present expedition is expect
ed to last from 80 to 40 hours. On
May II, General Mobile made his
first attempt to penetrate polar
regions in the Italia but returned to
Kings Bay after seven hours be-
cause Of bad weather conditions.
May Is he started a flight to
Lenin land returning to Kings Bay
and returned on May 18 after a
flight of 68 hours without seeing
new land.
General Mobile is accompanied by
a number of scientists and plans to
make studies Of temperatures, prev
alent' winds, climatic conditions,
magnetic compass variations and
other phenomena. His previous trip
to the pole in 1925 in the dirigible
Norge with Lincoln Ellsworth and
Roald Amundsen was dash over
the region and afforded no time for
Investigation.
II the weather at the pole permits
General Mobile plans to land several
members of his party there to con-
duct various Investigations.
The cross given him by the Pope
will be either planted at the pole or
dropped there if it is found that a
landing is impracticable. The cross
is about six feet high with a metal
base and there is q repository in it
in which a message written by the
Pope in Latin on parchment was
placed.

PASSAGE OVER
VETO WILL NOT
BE ATTEMPTED
Constitutional Ground Taken
by President as Basis for
Action
HELD NOT SOUND POLICY
Congress Discusses Probable
Effect on Forthcoming Elec.
tion Campaign
HELD NOT SOUND POLICY

Washington, May 23.-(R-Presi-
dent Coolidge today vetoed the Nc
Nary Haugen farm relief bill.
Thus for the second time in as
many years Mr.. Coolidge has
disapproved farm plan embodying
the equalization fee machinery for
surplus crop control.
Whether there will be any farm
relief enacted this session now is
up to congress. The house and sem
ate have a choice Of rcpassing the
bill without the equalization fee, in
the hope of winring presidential
favor, or of attempting enactment
of the measure as it stands by over
riding Mr.. Coolidge's veto.
There is much doubt that the lat.
ter course would prove successful.
Constitutionality Ground
The president vetoed the bill on
the grounds Of constitutionality and
because the "so-cslled equalization
fee and other features of the old
measure are still prejudicial in my
opinion to sound public policy and
to agriculture"
The veto draws the issue between
the president and the farm group in
congress more tightly than it ever
has been and unless some further
action is taken at the capitol, will
place the agricultural question be-
fore the coming presidential conven-
tions as an outstanding controversy.
Frank q. LoWden is one of the
bills most outspoken champions.
Vice President Dawes favors it and
Senator Curtis of Kansas, and Sem
ator Watson Of Indiana have voted
for it.
Hoover With President
Secretary Hoover has been re.
garded as standing with the presi.
dent on farm relief.
The senate would have to muster
a two thirds vote t pass the bill
over Mr.. Coolidge's veto. This
session the senate passed it by
vote of So to %, or slightly more
than the necessary two thirds. In
the house the measure was approved
2O4 to 121, or slightly less than two
thirds.
Its consideration in both houses
was enlivened by discussion Of it's
possible effect on the Forthcoming
presidential campaign, the names Of
Frank O. Lowdcn of Illinois, and
Vice President Dawes who favored
it, frequently being injected into the
debate.
