FEAR FELT FOR
ARCTIC FLIERS
No Word From Wilkins on
North Pole Dash.
By UHitcd Press

BJ United Press
SEWARD Alaska, April 12.-After
another Neutrality-suspicious. radio
vigil Army and Navy radio opera
tors still were without word today
from Capt. George Hubert wilkins,
believed to be waiting at Point Bar
row for favorable weather for an
airplane dash across the North Pole.
Nearly eight days have elapsed
since the last definite word from
wilkins and his companion, Lieut..
Carl B. EielSon.
The continued silence caused a
fear that an accident had befallen
the expedition.
If wilkins attempted take-off on
the flight to Spitzbergen and his
plane crashed, breaking the radio
set, it would be weeks before word
would be brought by clog sled from
Point Barrow to the nearest estah-
lished radio station.

SENATE ERROR
Apologies to CouzenS for
Accusations.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 12.-Senator
Moses (RepD, New Hampshire
dramatically retracted in the Senate
today his recent charge that Senator
Couzens' attacks upon Secretary Of
Treasury Mellon were vicious,
miliciou5, untrue in most instances,
and the result of private feud."
When Couzens arose to give
evidence of his charges against Mel
Ion, Moses interrupted to say:
Il should be the last member Of
this body to infringe upon the rules.
1 clearly was in the wrong and 1 re-
gret it. 1 hope, so far as the record
is concerned, the remarks may be
withdrawn. I had no intention of
imputing improper motives to the
Senator from Michigan, and I
recognize the Senator's sincerity"
Moses voice broke when he made
the statement.
CouzenS denied he was conducting
any private feud with Mellon and
asserted he would not be dissuaded
from his efforts to clean up the
Treasury Department.

RAISE $43,3 FOR
WHEELER MISSION

"The saloon stood for broken'

row and remorse, while the mission
carries on constructive work, such
as Sunday school work, services in
the Jail, care for the homeless and
hungry, ministering to the sick and
gospel to shut-ins," he said.
There may be differences of
opinion as to doctrines, creeds and

all might be enlisted"
Only few days after the elimi-
nation of credit, it was whispered
that one of the allied merchants
had broken faith with choice Gus
toners.
In Bloomfield, twenty-five miles
north of Plainview, the merchants
went on a strictly cash basis on
April l, and thus far the system
appears to be successful.

Concerted Effort Made to

AS HURT BY EXPLOSION
Buildings in Milan Rocked,
Crowd Thrown Into
Wild Panic.
Ry United Press


MILAN, April IA concerted
effort to assassinate King Victor
Emmanuel and Premier Benito Mus
Solini was revealed today.
A grenade bomb, connected with
electric wires which gave it ter
rifle force, exploded in the Piazza
Giulio Cesare here today just be-
fore the king passed over the thor
oupgfare on his way to the ninth
exhibition fair, which he later
opened.
Compilations made by the Milan
newspaper II Seco1o placed the dead
at IA and the injured at as. The
victims included both soldiers and
bystanders.
Dispatches to Geneva from Como,
Italy, said the authorities there had
discovered an internal machine on
the railway over which Premier
Mussolini's train was to have passed
yesterday from Milan to Rome.
The dispatch added the Internal
machine had been charged with ex-
plosive gelatine.
Suspect Is Arrested
1t had two long fuses, the unat-
tached ends of which were being
held by an unknown individual con-
cealed near the track. He was ar
rested.
Mussolini, however, returned to
Rome safely yesterday and had a
conference with S. Parker Gilbert,
American agent general of repara-
tions.
The king seemed undaunted by
today's tragedy. He proceeded to
the royal palace and was forced to
appear on the balcony.
The crowd shouted for him. There
was tremendous manifestation of
loyalty to the crown.
Later the king visited the hos
pital and talked to the injured,
comforting them.
The news was sent to the vatican
shortly after midday,
Pope Is Shocked
Pope Plus said he was profoundly
shocked at the tragedy.
Messages began to arrive almost
immedia tely \the news was flashed
throughout Italy. The messages
protested against the outrage and
renewed their expression of loyalty
to the King to Premier Mussolini.
Mussolini sent a message to the
King. He said he had given imme-
diate instructions to the projects
of police throughout all Italy to
find the instigators of the explo-
sion.
"All Italy is vibrating with indig-
nation" II Duce said
Crowds had gathered in the
streets awaiting the royal cortege
in front of the triumphant arch.
Suddenly there was a frightful
explosion. Pieces of the bomb we're
scattered to all sides into the crowd
1t had been connected with cleo
trio wires, giving it terrific eX-
plosive force.
Blast Is Terrific
When it exploded, it was as though
a series Of proJectileS had been shot.
The bomb was hidden in the base of
a street lamp on the Piazza Giulio
Cesare, where the electric connection
was established.
The noise of the explosion was
followed b ythe shrieks and yells of
the Stampeding crowd.
Women we're thrown to the
ground trampled and injured.
Troops and police took charge of
the situation. Victims were given
first aid
80 The fourteen dead were badly
mangled. Some of those killed we're
in the streets. Others were inside
houses near by.
Experts examined the remnants
of the bomb and discovered it was
of an extraordinary destructive type.
Apparently it had been placed dur
ing the night.
