KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June
22.- Majors Maddalena and

Kings Bay today in their huge
naval seaplsnes to take further re-
lief to TIE marooned Mobile party
and to maintain a sharp lookout
for RoaId Amundsen, famous Nor
wcgian explorer, and the missing
French hydro-airplsne.

KINGS BAY, pSitzbergen, June
22-LP)-While a heavy fog which
had settled upon Spitzbergen this
morning was slowly lifting during
the day, the Italian fliers at Kings
Bay were planning to seize the first
opportunity to take off in two large
flying boats to bring further aid to
General Mobile and to seek for the
missing expedition Of Roald Amund-
sen.
Now that more than 600 pounds Of
provisions and supplies have been
dropped to General Mobile and his
five stranded companions near Foyne
Island, off Northeast Land, thus en-
suring their safety for the present,
the attention of the rescue expe-
ditions here has been turned sharp
ly toward the missing Amundsen
group.
The radio operator Of the Mobile
base ship, Citta Di Milano, has been
busy trying to find some trace Of
the huge French plane in which
Amundsen and five companions took
off from Norway Monday night, but
thus far the search has been fruit
less.
The Citta Di Milano has communi-
Gated with the ice cutter Braganza
now off North Cape and with the
Russian ice breaker MMaligin, which
Is near South Cape in a rough sea,
slowly making her way northward in
an effort TO break through to Mobile.
Neither Of these ships, however, had
anything TO report concerning
AmundSen.
The Maligin Is laying her course
for Cape Leigh Smith and it is hoped
will be able to reach the stranded
Mobile group.
Lieutenant Luetzow Holm and
N1PNdtA ANfAScA-LdIccNp the NoIWe-
gian fliers who have made numerous
air reconnaissance over the Mobile
party again flew to the vicinity, but
we're unable to see the men. The
party, however, wirelessde that they
had sighted the pilots.
II is regarded as evidently diff
cult, If not impossible. to strike No
bile's position exactly without wire
less guidance. Neither of the Nor
wegian planes is equipped with ra-
dio. Major Maddalena, who found
the Mobile party on Wednesday.
found it difficult with his excellent
radio equipment to locate the ma
rooned men.
When Major Maddalena dropped
the supplies Wednesday only one OF
the parachutes to which the pack
ages were attached failed to open.
This unfortunately contained fresh
batteries and an accumulator for the
radio outfit whose strength Mobile
has been carefully outstanding. Ma
Jor Maddalena now plans to drop a
new set of batteries carefully packed
IN rubber boat SO that il will not
be damaged in falling on the ice.

NO R|VETS WILL BE IN NEW TOWER
Welding to Eliminate This in
 Yale Structure

New Haven. April F. R--Yalc university students and faculty will not be disturbed by the chatter of riveting machines when the 1S-story book tower Of the Sterling Memo rial library is erected. The fifteen miles of steel columns that are to form the stacks in the &7,O00, 900 building will be electrically welded eliminating jobs for 100000 rivets.
 Arc welding. instead of riveting, will be employed to join these col umns together because double the stiffness can be secured in this manner" says the consulting engi- neer, Ga D. Fish. of the Westing- house company. "The channel shap- ed beams carrying the book shelves and the passages arc five inches deep. If rirets were used, only two, spaced three inches apart, could be employed for each joint. where as with the electric process the entire depth of five inches can be firmly welded to the adjoining mem- ber."
 The tower is to be 130 feet high, the tailest structure of it's kind in the world. It will provide space for 1 900, 900 books.

DEMPSEY IS DONE WITH FIGHT GAME
Appears in New York as Wealthy, Wel,Fed Business Man

New York, April l: R-Jack
 Dempsey. once lean. hungry youth, who years ago rode the brake beams to fight for ham and egg money. was
 Tn town today. wealthy, we'll fed
 business man with his fistic future behind him.
 His arrival was far cry to the day in 1916 when the bronzcd youngster from the mining camps of Colorado rode into the Metropolis in search of fame. If there was 2 din-
 ing car on that train. it was in the caboosc and there was no place
 there for a Dempsey to work out the kinks that came of riding the rods"
 Dempsey then would fight anyone and he did. His sweeping fists, the lure of his ring personality and ferocity and the courage that pulled him back to score knockout after Luis Firpo hammered him out of the ring, made Jack the greatest draw ing card in the history of sport. With him came million dollar crowds, then s2.ooO.0O0, and finally a gate of close to $3.O0O.0O0 for his last stand against Gene Tunney in Chicago last September.
 Now, Dempsey, still possessing the major part of the $2,500,0O0 his granite fists have earned, believes the time has come to quit the game for good, before the thudding gloves Of a Tunney or the punches Of q younger man strip him of both health and reason.
 Ring history is full of examples of men who stayed beyond their time, for just one more big purse" and ended their days cutting paper dolls in psycopathic ward. Dempsey's career now has stretched through 8 years-"long enough" he declares.
 Ever since his first engagement, fear of going blind has haunted Dempsey's career. Always an easy man to hit. ready at any time 10 take two punches for the chance to land one. the mauled Manassa maul- CT was a mark for Tunney's sharp shooting right hand the night he lost the title to the scholarly marine in the downpour at Philadelphia. After that defeat. Dempsey spent two weeks in a dark room with the left side of his face green and purple mass of bruised flesh.
 Again at Chicago last September Dempsey's eyes were cut and torn. In the tenth round Tunney's head ripped oven a triangular gash over the left eye that severed a tendon, and since has led to the report that the former champion was going blind. The injury did not impair his sight, however. although Jack lost control Of his eyelid for time and suffered hemorrhages behind th. eycball.
 But it's hard to discourage a skep- tic and there are few more skeptical persons than those associated with the prize ring. They wouldn't believe Dempsey when he announced his re- tirement out on the Pacific Coast. some even remained skeptical today although the ground appeared pretty we'll removed from under them by his statement of the ex-champion:
 T wouldn't fight again for $5O.- i 200. .h00. I have all the miney I need. can walk around, know what l ime it is-aEd I want to stay that l way. Because Rickard is my pal, he l inows I'm through, that I'm only 10 per cent of what 1 was as cham- i ,ion. He was the first to agree with | nc."
