BROWNSVILLE will have two
landing fields for flyers, il seems.
Fort Brown field, closed to flyers
some two years ago because the field
was subject 70 flood, is to be re-
established.
That order has been issued by the
war department. at Washington, upon
recommendation by the commanding
officer of the Eighth Corps Area
Fort Sam Houston.
VIXEN the field was closed to fly
ing Col. W. 7. johnson, commanding
at Fort Brown, set about to reclaim
the field, which lies along the Rio
Grande.
That road and bride path, winding
through thick growth, has become
q popular drive.
A crew Of men will be stationed
at the field to care for airplanes.
In the meantime. work is proceed

Brownsville is now within fitty

up for lost ever since May 80 when
they left the nine men Of the Mobile
group who had been thrown on the
ice when the Italia's gondola was
smashed on May 25.
With DR.. Malmgren were Captain
Alberto Mariana, pilot Of the Italia
and Captain Filippo Zappi, Italian
navy navigator.
Started for Help
These men stayed five days with
the marooned party off Northeast
Land and then decided TO make an
effort to reach land and then TO trek
across Northeast Land TO Kings Bay.
They carried approximately fifty
pounds of provisions, but so far as
known had no arms.
The purpose of the group was to
reach the Kings Bay base to bring
help back to their comrades who
were stranded near Foyn Island in a
tiny encampment centered about a
small red tent.
No definite word Of them was
heard from the time they left the
other men.
Two Wave Flag
A message was received in Moscow
today stating that the Russian flier
Chukhnovsky, who has been making
flights from the icebreaker Krassin,
now near Foyn Island, made the dis
covery in the course Of reconnais-
sance flight. Chukhnovsky himself
was recently missing for several days
when he made a forced landing, but
was able to fly back to the base ship
safely.
The Russian airman found Dr.
Malmgren and his two companions
at S0.42 north latitude and 25.45 east
longitude which is 90 miles from the
present position of the Krassin. This
is west of Cape Platen, Northeast
Land.
The pilot this afternoon was
searching for a place to make a land
ing near the party in order te pick
them up.
The airman reported that he cir
cled over the men five times. Two
of the party energetically waved a
flag to him. The third was lying
down.
