 Capt. George H. Wilkins and Pilot Ben Eielson, who recently flew from Point Barrow, Alaska, to Spitzbergen, today volunteered their services in search, making this known in a cablegram to Premier Mussolini. They partici- pated in conferences and in plan ming the Norwegian expedition.
 Capt. Wilkins said his Polar airplane is at Bergen and it was Duilt for landing and starting from the ice therefore is less suitable for purposes of the Italia search than planes con structed for landing on water. If his services are required, Capt Wilkins will fly to Spitzbergen and search the east coast then go north to East Land where he thinks Commander Mobile and his party landed If this search proves in vain, Capt. Wilkins will fly to Franz Josef and Novaka Zemblya.
 Believes Italia Landed
 Capt. Wilkins believes the Italia landed before the fuel was ex- hausted, Commander Mobile al lowing it to drift as free bal loon until a landing place was near, then using the reserve fuel supply to bring the dirigible to it.
 Capt. Severdrup believes the Italia is still drifting and may be saved while Capt. Riser Larsen believes the airship is lost but the members of the crew are alive, somewhere on the ice.
