LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July g.
Governor Parnell has sent a tele-

ing.
The rates purpose to be based on
an order Of the /. q. U. in the South

the Arkansas Traffic League. com
posed of rate representatives of
shippers, contends that some of the
proposed rates are not authorized
by the commissions order and nat
they are excessive and p~rejudicial.
Tie Traffic League has asked tina .
the case be reopened for hearing.
Governor Parnell said in his telo-
gram that the proposed rates would
work a great hardship on producers
and shippers in Arkansas and asked
that the whole new tariff be sus-
pended until it is determined wheth-
er the carriers exceeded the authori-
ty granted them in the J.. &. q. order.

Men Missing; Base

LONDON, July 2.-F1-With two
airplane rescue expeditions missing
criticism OF General Umberto No
bile's fatal polar flight and the con-
duct Of relief operations was being
voiced today.
Two weeks ago Roald Amundsen
and five other men started out IN a
French seaplane to join in the res
cue work and disappeared. On FRI
dav the Russian airman Babushkin
horned off from the soviet ice
breaker Maligin in the polar seas

Arctic.
"A Moscow dispatch TO the Daily

Kameneff, who is one Of the lead
ers on the soviet relief committee,
made a statement to the Moscow
newspaper Izvestia, in which he con-
demned "the shameful lack Of CO.
ordination Of the various expedi-
tions. lie contended that Amundsen
ought TO have been put in charge Of
a centralized relief organization. Tie
believed that rescue could be accom-
plished only by cooperation between
soviet ice breakers and Swedish air
planes.
The Berlin newspaper, MOntag

from its Copenhagen correspondent
in which he said that a large NUM-

and moral defeat and ~diserediting en-

ing the Amundsen party. Freuchen
quoted Helmer Hansen, who accom-
panied Amundsen to the South Pole,
as believing his former chief hal
died heroically.
Experts in northern Norway be.
lieved that the French seaplane was
probably forced down III stormy CON
ditions and collapsed upon hitting
the waves. This would have meant a
speedy end for all on board.
Amundsen's friends remarked that
such a finish would have been in ac-
cord with the veteran explorers own
wishes.
Despite these gloomy opinions,
search by air and sea was continued
today for Amundsen and new eek
petitions got underway.

 All of this makes for a better understanding between the can nery men and AlaSkans.

Colonel Lindbergh, in making his
report as chairman of the technical

after personally inspecting the
western portion of the route to be
