nounced by the Valley port committee

government in connection with the

time the federal appropriation is
available.

being present from Willacy county.
r. B. Crager, chairman of the COM
mtitee, warned that the only danger
to the Valleys port project that now
might arise would be local jealousies
or local discord, factors which he
urged the committee TO guard
against.
r. B. Creager called the meeting TO
order, and in discussing the port
situation stated that the fact the
appropriation will not be passed until
the short session beginning in De-
cember will not mean delay for the
project, as the federal appropriation
passed at the short session would be
available as soon as an appropriation
passed at the present session. The
bill has been reported by the house
rivers and harbors committee and
will be on the calendar at the short
session, with the probability Of early

PREPARATIONS
FOR HUNT ARE
GOING AHEAD
Plane Is Loaded For
Trip to Spitzbergen;
Aerial Search Believ-
ed Best

OSLO, Norway, May 29.-(P)-Al-
though reports wholly unconfirmed,
had been received in Oslo today that
the dirigible Italia was down at
Amsterdam Island, North SpitZber-
gen, the Norwegian government was
going steadily ahead with its plans
10 send out a great relief expedition
20 search for the missing dirigible.
Captain Riiser-Larsen, authority
on flying in the north and one OF
the leaders in the preparations for
the relief expedition, was highly
doubtful Of the report and went
ahead with his plans for an air
reconnaissance over Northern SpitZ-
bergen soon 10 be made by Lieut..
Luetzow Holm, crack Norwegian
flier.
Lieut.. Holm arrived at Tromsoe
with a naval hydro-airplane this
morning and Immediately began the
work OF loading his plane aboard the
sealer Hobby, which will carry 1t 20
Spitzbergen as quickly as possible.
Captain RiiserLarsen hoped that
the Hobby would be able to leave for
Spitzbergen within a few hours and
that she would reach Kings Bay
toward the end Of the week.
The captain is Of the opinion that
the dirigible probably came down
somewhere on the ice north Of Spitz-
bergen and that a survey by air of
the region offers the best hope of
finding the ship.
The Italian legation at Oslo has
been in close wireless contact with
the base ship Citta Di Milano. now
off Northern Spitzbergen, but has
received no information from her
indicating that the Italia had been
found.
