EIELS0N And
WILKINS LAND
AT new YORK
North Dakota Boy Trods Path
Traverscd by Lindbergh,
Byrd and Others

New York, July 2.-dR-Sir
George Wilkins and Lieutenant Ben
Eielson landed here today to receive
one Of New York's welcomes:
Captain Wilkins and Lieutenant
Eielson, were met at quarantine by
the mayors reception committee.
The explorers were escorted to
city hall over the route already
traversed by such heroes as Lind
bergh, Chamberlin and Byrd.
Captain Wilkins and Lieutenant
Eielson, last April Is, flew from
Point Barrow, Alaska, to Dead Mans
Land, Spitzbergen, on the top Of the
world.
Among the first to greet the ex-
plozers today was Ole Eielson Of
Hatton, N. D., father Of the lieuten-
ant.
Father Proud
Il am proud of him-Rut I've
said it a lot already" said the
father, who was accompanied by a
younger brother of the flyer,
Arthur, who lives in Orange. N. J.
Wilkins spoke for both, although
Eielson, now and thea questioned by
Sir George, filled in a blank.
Captain Wilkins in confirming his
plans for an Antarctic flight de-
clared his expedition would not be
in conflict with the Byrd explora-
tions to the South Pole. He would
hold strictly to the frozen coast, he
said, as his interest in that region
was to locate spot where meteoro-
logical station will be located later.
Asked whether regular travel by
air over the polar regions was prac-
ticable, Capt. Wilkins said:
"If you take advantage of the
fine weather carly in the year, it is
possible. Of course, it is bitterly
cold, but that is no setback"
Wilkins Plans
After his Antartic explorations,
Wilkins plans to circumnavigate the
Pacific Ocean before returning to
Australia. From the south polar
regions he will work his way up the
South and North American coasts to
Alaska, cross by way Of Siberia to
Japan.
He will return from the Antarctic
in April or May, he said. IF
find my location, I will come back
within "a hours" he added, "for
that is my only objective in going"
The program here includes a
theatre party tonight with noted
aviators as the city's guests.

BUTTER PRICES
MAY BE LOWER
Centralized Cream Buying
Suggested by Formation of
Makers Cooperative

Chicago, July 2.-R-As a move
intended to reduce the retail price Of
butter on an average Of 2 cents each
pound, q plan calling for the or
ganization Of cooperative cream
buying association has been pro-
posed to the butter manufacturers
Of the country by William S. Moore
OF the Chicago Mercantile Exchange,
it was announced today.
The leading manufacturers, it was
said, are considering the proposals,
which would bring about the estab.
lishment Of = centralized agency for
purchasing cream for the co-ope-
rative association, cutting down
overhead and leading to the decrease
in prices.
Mr.. Moore's plan also calls for an
arrangement by which farmers
would be paid for their cream on the
basis OF current quotations in but
ter, futures on the Chicago Mercan-
tile Exchange, instead Of on the
basis Of butter-fat content 1t prices
based on the prevailing quotations
for butter.
This would permit creameries to
sell their butter on contract for fu-
ture delivery, or hedge" their ex-
pected production, greatly to the ad-
vantage Of the consumer and pro-
ducer, and the manufacturer as well,
It was claimed.

London, July 2.-(P)-With two
alrplane rescue expeditions missing
criticism of General Umberto No
blle's polar flight and the conduct 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
rescue work and disappeared. On
Friday the russian airman Babush-
kin hoped off from the Soviet ice
breaker Maiigin in the polar seas
only to be swallowed up by the
arctic.
: A Moscow dispatch to the Daily
Express today quoted Sergi Kam-
eneff, INSPECTOR general of the Red
army, as charging that Mobiles base
ship. the Citta di Milano. had failed
to cooperate in the rescue work. He
said the base ship had neglected to
inform the Maligin that the position
OF the five castaways Of the Italia
and the Swedish airman Lieutenant
Lundborg had been changed bv the
drift of the ice in time to warn
babushkin before he started on his
flight to them.
Kameneff, who is one of the lead
ers OF the soviet relief committee.
made statement to the Moscow
newspaper Izvestia in which he con.
demned "the ahameful lack of co.
ordination of the various expedi-
tions. He contended that Amundsen
ought to have been put in charge of
a centralized relief organization. He
believed that rescue could be accom-
plished only by cooperation between
SOVIET Ice breakers and Swedish air.
