KINGS BAY. SPITZBE GEN,
June 2l.-(Pp-Cheered by the 65C
pounds of provisions dropped yester.
day upon his camp off Northeast
Land by Major Maddalena, General
Umberto Mobile today sent furthe,
radio directions for the rescue OF
his stranded party.
The general and the five men with
him who have been short Of food and
in difficult straits since May 25
when the dirigible Italia met with
disaster on its return from the
North Pole, was in wireless com.
munication with the base ship Citta
Di Milano concerning the present
situation.
He gave some instruction about
what further procedure is to be fol-
lowed in rescuing his party and gave
details as to what were the condi-
tions on the ice where he is strand
ed and the exact position of his
camp.
Before giving these directions
concerning the rescue plans, how.
ever. General Mobile expressed his
gratitude to Major Maddalena and
the assistant pilot of the Savoia-
Marchetti-55 as well as to Major
Mercanti, director-general Of the
Italian aviation department, who or
ganized the relief expedition and
gave up his seat in the plane so that
more fuel might be carried.
In fact, the first words Of Mobiles
message were: 81 kiss and embrace
the two fliers and Mercanti."
There was no further news today
regarding Roald Amundsen, the IA
nous explorer who took off from
Tromsoe, Norway. on Monday night
and has been missing since. There
were all kinds Of speculation about
him, but no definite information has
reached here and there was no con-
firmation Of yesterdays rumor that
he was down on the pack ice.
The week Of fine weather which
has prevailed at Spitzbergen today
was succeeded by foggy conditions
which it was feared would prevent
Major Maddalena from starting out
again in search for the balloon party
of seven men and the three missing
men who originally formed part Of
the Mobile group.

TRIANGLE IN
MURDER Case
Former Lover of Mrs.
Glab Held AS Wit
ness in Staying

LOS ANGELES, June 2l.-CF-
New notes in the overture Of threats
which preceded the killing of John
]. Glab, former Cicero. Ill, drug
gist, today had been uncovered by
the police.
That discovery rounded out. the
authorities believe, che record of
threats and counterthreats exchang-
ed between three persons involved in
the case. The triangle consisted of
Mrs- Hazel Glab. young bride of the
victim, who has been formally &C
oused of his murder; w. r. McIn-
tyre, admittedly her lover in days
held as a mater al witness, and Glab
himself.
The last threats we're discovered
last night when police questioned
Mrs. Marian Adams. a friend of the
Glabs. Mcintyre had said that a
woman named Marian" teIephoned
him Tuesday morning that Glab was
shot down at the iooryard of his
suburban home the night before.
Mrs. Adams denied telephoning
Mcintyre, a former Los Angeles po-
liceman, but she did tell Of repeated
threats which Glab had made to
shoot his wife, Mcintyre and him
self because "this can't 90 on this
way"
Mrs. Adams said that, at Mrs.
Glab's request when she visited the
widow in jail the day before the
shooting. she did telephone to a
Mr.. Mackenzie.
Earlier in the investigation of the
case the police had been told by a
maid in the Glab home and by the
wife Of the caretaker that Ms.
Glab had threatened to shoot her
husband during their frequent anc
violent quarrels. From Nevada
came the report from a friend Of
Glab that the latter in a telephone
conversation had expressed a fear
Of his life and said tint if anything
happened he would "know it was
the ex-cop that did IT,"
Yesterday formal crarges of mur-
der were filed against Mrs. Glab,
and her 17year-old niece Miss Ethyl
kaser OF Oklahoma City, Okla.
