PLANES ARRIVE AT TELLER FOR
 AERIAL SEARCH
Weather Clearing as Relief Expedition Converges
 on Base at Teller

With weather conditions gradu- ally improving and break expected shortly that will enable the aerial i fleet of the Alaska Airways to take che air in search for Col. Carl Ben E,elson and Earl Borland, missing flyers, ships were yesterday con- verging on Teller, which will be the base of the search.
 This was indicated today in tele- grams received by Gov George A. Parks from Teller. Reports from North Cape, Siberia, said the waatl.- CT was good. It was still foggg at Teller but somewhat cooler and it was believed there it woI,1l 800 clear up.
 Pilot Barnhill, in a new Standor-, rig, landed at Teller Tuesday from Nome, Ed. Young, in Stinson,, and c. H. Gillam, in a Stearman, were at Nome last night and were sched- uled to proceed to Teller today.
 This will give the searchers four serviceable planes for the search, as Joe Crcsson has repaired his ship and is only awaiting favorable op- portunity to take the air
 Although Eielson and B orland d have been missing for 30 days, unless they were fatally injured in landing, it is believed there is a chance of their rescue. They had 30 days emergency rations of their own and, in addition, carried @ case of eggs, a supply of bacon, tea and chocolate on their last trip. The search, even with favorable weather prevailing, it is admitted, will be made under heavy handicaps. The most seri- ous of these, is the daylight factor. The extremely short days in those attitudes give only two and one-half to three hours of flying light.

toned the difference.
1.-THE children have no group games
nor do they congregate in groups Of any
kind. They have no toys, nor do they
know the meaning of them. They'll have
no religious ceremonies, and Sunday
school, which was started by the teacher
last Summer, meant getting together to
receive some candy. None of the chill
dren know the meaning OF songs nor
was any one found who could either
whistle or hum a tune. Only n Of
the 20 children who were asked the
definition of the word ball knew that
1t was something to play with. In one
other case the word doll was properly
defined. The term foot ball was not
understood at all. two of the children
defining 1t as O foot path
With the exception of one boy of II,
none knew of any holidays even though
they were II or 10 years Of age. Only
three children were found who knew OF
Christmas and o n knew OF Thanksgiv-
ing. Because no celebrations or meet
ings were ever held and because school
was only a novelty to most OF the chill
dren, one day was not differentiated
from another. None of the children
knew what a religion was and the
names Protestant. Catholic or Baptist
were 10 them.
Children Do Little Visiting.
"Only in rare instances did the chill
dren visit other homes. The paths from
N house to another were very rough
and 1T requires considerable energy to
visit. For example, In going from one
house to the next O distance of about a
mile and a quarter was traversed over a
rocky path at an incline of from 80 to
as degrees, and during the last 700
yards 1t was necessary to dismount
walk. The ground between two of the
homes wa so rough that a path had to
be cut out for the examiners.
"In the tests lack Of abstract con
cepts showed itself universally. Alb
surdities were not understood. The only
laughter elected was when one Of the
examiners stood on his head. In no
case was the correct birthday given.
Evidently space, time and form differ
entiation was foreign to these children
and was probably due to their living at
the same level continuously.
1T is probable that their inherent
capacity for intelligence cannot be
measured by tests which are used for
normal children, since the demands OF
the environment Of normal children
are far different. But since intelli-
gence tests have been found to cor
relate well with the ability to adjust
In an average environment it Is ap-
parent that these children would be
maladjusted If placed outside their own
conditions. From observation of their
behavior It Is evident that they were
trainable mentally and that their per-
Torrance can be increased"

HOOVER IS ANXIOUS
TO LAND SA|LF|SH
Seeks Quiet and SecIusion
in Expedition Off
Florida Keys.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,
Staff Corresnondenf of The ctar

KEY LARGO, Fla, January 25.--
President-elect Hoover has finally sue
ceeded in shaking off temporarily all OF
the worries and responsibilities that
have been steadily increasing with the
approach of his taking over the office OF
President and is today engaged in deep
sea fishing.
He is virtually lost to the outside
world. He has his heart set on catch
ing some sailf1sh, the pride of genuine
deep-sea fishermen in these waters, and
he wants isolation. In order to have
this and the opportunity for uninter-
rupted concentration upon the sport, his
request that the newspaper correspond
ents and camera men in his Florida va
cation party stay far in the background
and not attempt covering" his fishing
expedition by the means of close con-
tact is to be strictly observed. Il
The PreSident-elect explained that
his wish for seclusion was merely for
the purpose of enjoying fishing the
way he likes-wjth as much quiet as is
possible.
According to word that has been re-
layed to the correspondents, Mr.. Hoover
this morning is out on the ocean, about
10 miles from the Florida Keys! He was
reported to have arisen with the sun
so as to get an early start. Dressed
for the occasion, he is out in small
gas fishing boat. Besides the attendant
Of the boat only one of MIR. Hoovers
party is with him.
Mr. Hoover is no stranger to these
waters. He has fished in them on half
a dozen occasions and was generally
accompanied by Mark Sullivan, politi-
cal writer and fishing crony, who is in
his party on this occasion. He always
has had good luck. and has hauled out
all sorts of game fish, large and small,
but he has never enjoyed the thrills
that are said by oldtimers to accom-
pany the landing of sail fish.
These waters are frequented by
SWordflSh, SpearflSh, barracudas and
tarpon, as we'll as numberless other
varieties of the smaller fish; but the
sailfsh is looked upon as the gamest
and the toughest to land.
The Amity and the Saunterer,
which are being used by Mr.. Hoover's
party on this trip, were at anchor of
Angelfish Greek, when the latter ar
rived at Key Largo before O'Clock
yesterday afternoon From Key Largo,
the President-elect and those in his
immediate party made the journey to
the anchored yachts in small gas
cruiser.
Although Mr. Hoover does not expect
to- give much attention to work, he
brought along one of his stenographers
to be in readiness to take dictation.
Another was brought for Mrs. Hoover
to keep up with her correspondence.

With Polar Flyer Is

SAN FRANCISCO. January 25.-The
Examiner announced today that Fred
Roebuck, announcer at its station KUP,
had talked directly with Malcolm P
Hansen, radio expert of the Byrd Ant
arctic expedition, while the latter was
flying in the expeditions plane Stars
and Stripes over the Bay of Whales,
Antartica
Roebuck and Hansen were in two-Way
communication for % minutes early this
morning. The distance, approximately
5000 miles, is believed to be the greatest
over which two-way all-radio CONVEX
sation ever has taken place. The Stars
and Stripes was 5000 feet over the bay.
Hansen and Roebuck merely ex-
changed greetings, as the former was
testing the radio gear of the Stars and
Stripes and Roebuck was trying out
the equipment of the new Robert Dollar
station here
Radio-telephone communication be-
tween this country and Europe often
involves conversations across spans of
5000 miles or more, but In some cases
more than half the distance is covered
by means of telephone wires.
