OF ARCTIC ICE PACK
Pilot and Frank Dorbandt I'M
prisoned on Hop to
Siberia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NOME, Alaska, November 16-Pilots
Carl Ben Eielson and Frank Dorbandt
were still stormbound today awaiting
another opportunity to fly to North
Cape, Siberia. near which the SwenSon
fur-trading ship Nanunk is frozen in
the Arctic ice pack.
EielSon and Dorbandt each have
made one trip to the ship, bringing back
to the mainland six men and a fortune
in furs. Eielson has been stormbound
In the vicinity of Cape Serbge since
November 8, while Dorbandt is grounded
by unfavorable weather conditions at
Teller.
Among those aboard the Nanunk,
which will not be released by the ice
until next Summer, are Olaf Swenson
of Seattle and his daughter Marion,
who are expected to stay aboard the
ship until the last of the fur cargo has
been transferred by air to the mainland
Of Alaska. This, 1t was predicted here,
might take month, due to the uncer-
tain flying weather.
r. s. Pollister, an agent of the Sven
son Fur Trading Co., returned to the
States some time ago.

APPEAL
MADE BY HINTON.
GraveIIy Point Site Is Held
Best Suited for Needs of
Capital.

A plea for an airport for Washington,
situated at Gravelly Point. was made
last night in the course of an address
broadcast from Station WMAL by Lieut..
Walter Hinton, chairman of the avia-
ton committee of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, who predicted
that huge seaplanes will be the prin-
cipal mode of air transportation In the
future.
Lieut.. Hinton pointed out that only
Gravelly Point, of all the sites for air
ports advocated for the District, could
accommodate such planes. He appealed
to the entire country to lend its support
to Washington in an attempt to OBJ
tain this valuable adjunct to the city.
Would Benefit Nation.
An airport would not benefit Wash
ington alone, he declared but the coun-
try as a whole would profit, since the
greater portion of the air travel to and
from the District is because Of Gov
ernment business.
Lieut.. Hinton then reviewed the his
tory of the move to secure an airport
for Washington, from introduction in
Congress of the Stalker bill last Decem-
Der TO the present situation, which, he
said was one of stagnation.
The Chamber of Commerce has been
working hard to oil the wheels Of Con-
gress and to create public interest to
accomplish some definite results-be-
fore Washington is permanently side
tracked by airline operators and we
lose these valuable air transportation
facilities" he said.
Pleads for Aid.
I'VE who live in Washington have no
vote and, therefore, cannot obtain
legislation without the assistance of the
entire country through Representatives
and Senators.
Il want to urge those listening in to-
night to get in touch with your Sena-
tors and Representatives and urge them
to pledge their support to sponsor an
airport in Washington.
1T must be remembered that an air
port in our city does not benefit Wash
ington alone, but that 1t is urgently
needed by our entire country. BY far
the largest part of air travel to and
from Washington is because of or for
Government business. Thousands of
people from all over the country come
here every year to visit their official
Washington and confer with Govern
ment officials, and more thousands
come here as tourists to see the Capital
of their Nation"
