KINGS BAY, SPITZBERGEN
June 1e.-(P)-The fact that no ra-
dio signals have come from the polar
explorers with General Umberto No
bile since yesterday is interpreted
here as meaning that everything is
in the status quo with the Mobile
party. 1t is believed that they are
conserving power of their accumu-
lators for emergency use.
The base ship Citta Di Milano
sent its usual quota Of cheering
messages to the Italia's men, telling
them particularly Of the progress be-
ing made toward the north by the
rescue plane Savoia-55 and Of the
efforts which the vessels. Braganza
and Hobby are making to penetrate
the ice pack along the north shore
of the archipelago.
After weeks Of frequent fog and
uncertain atmospheric conditions
there was a rift Of fine summer
weather here today. If similar con-
ditions prevail in the north, it was
thought Captain Hialmar Riser
Larsen and Lieutenant Luetzow
Holm soon would have opportunity
to fly their Norwegian seaplanes TO
the vicinity of Foyne Island, where
General Mobile and his men are
awaiting succor.
An early day report from the Bra
ganza stated that she was near
North Cape. The sealer Hobby,
which is not so we'll equipped to bat
ter ice floes, was about 20 miles be-
hind and near the northeastern en-
trance to Hinlopen Strait.
