Poor flying weather predominates in southeastern Alaska and fliers are forced to remain on the ground days and even weeks They must spend long tiresome hours flying over rugged country that would mean almost certain death or a long period without food should they be forced to land.

 Forced to continue his work last year without planes, Sargent map ped 800 square miles with cid methods he has used for nearly two decades. This year he is anxious to complete the survey of Americas last frontier.
 Three Looming amphibian planes carrying the navy fliers, photog- raphers and Sargent, will take off from San Diego early in May with the waters near Juneau, Alaska, as their objective. The U. s. s.

 WASHINGTON. April 15--Inven- tory of the vast resources in tim Der and hydro-electric power that lie hidden beyond inaccessible mountain ranges in southeastern Alaska is to be taken this sum- mer by navy aviators.
 Flying photographers with multi pie lense cameras will unfold the secrets of hidden lakes and inac- cessible forests like a magic car- pet beneath them.
 Each click of the shutter will make a photographic record of an area that would require months of tedious exploration with ordinary methods. Ten thousand square miles, embracing three Alaskan islands -Baranoff, Chichagof and Klui-as well as strip of the mainland, will be mapped It would take explorers Is years to complete such a task with ordi- nary methods.
 Despite the modernity of their equipment, Lieut.. Comm. A. w. Radford, head of the expedition, and his flying comrades will face many of the hardships every ex- plorer has experienced in the cold wastes.

SOLUTION FOR FARM RELIEF
 BEING SOUGHT
Tariff Revision Also Ex- pected Before Extra
 ordinary Session
HOOVER PUPILS
 CAMPAIGN PROMISE
House Promises to Aid Ad- ministration n-Expect
 Trouble Tn Senate

WASHINGTON, April 15.-In full fillment of one of the prediction promises of President Herbert c Hoover, Congress today met in ex- traordinary session to find the long sought road to the solution of the vexing farm question.
 Millions of people who helped place the Chief Executive in charge of the nations affairs, are inter esting themselves in the start of the latest political drama.
 Tentative Program
 Although the program has been tentatively set to include farm re- lief, the related subject of tariff revision, reapportionment of the House and a measure setting date for the beginning of the enumera- ten of the nations population are also expected to be taken up and disposed of.
 No Tedicticns
 None today would venture the prediction as to the life of the special session. The President has been represented as favoring a lim- tied legislative program but he made it plain he will not attempt to tell Congress what to do, so it is up to the Republican leaders tc guide the destinties of the session. They also favor limitation of ac- tivity but the Democratic leaders threatened to oppose such efforts.
 House Organizes
 Only the process of organizing faced the House during the day while the Senate was ready to get down to business immediately after meeting then adjourning, with nothing to do as the Presidents message will be delivered tomorrow The House had 68 new members who were called ana took their oaths
 Representative Nicholas Long, worth is starting his third term as oDCdkGI LII bllC l1OoGSs
 Possibilities
 Some interesting possibilities present themselves to the present session and no answers are con- elusive regarding whether activity will be limited to farm relief and tariff revision.
 No trouble is expected in the House because those in leadership there have long been supporters of the President because of a safe party majority and rules will be invoked to expedite legislation.
 Quite different situation IS presented in the Senate for the Republican majority there is large ly a paper one, with number of unknown quantities.
 Tn the view of political observers, Senator William E. Borah is even a more outstanding figure in Con- gress then heretofore, with Curtis and Reed gone. Although Borab was one Of the first to throw his support to Hoover in the campaign, he differs from the President on several matters at the outset.
 The President finds formidable foes within the party folds, Norris, JaFollette and Blind.

 No government, said the count, need fear the legitimate aspira- tions of the people, for there is nothing more fallacious than the legend that the lower classes are seditious and revolutionary.
 Hungary's Grand Old Man also strongly urged the extension of suffrage to women.

 5-PASSENGER CRAFT
Plane Is Owned by Wash ington-Alaska Airways
 Company Mission

Making the first nonstop flight from Seattle to Alaska, seaplane 432E, Lockhead Vega 5-passenger craft, of the Washington Alaska Airways Company, arrived over Ju- neau at 12 minutes to 2 o'clock this afternoon, circled over the city twice, went out the bar and then descending low to the water, dipped at exactly 7ls minutes to 2 o'clock.
 The seaplane left Seattle at 7:I5 o'clock this morning which is o'clock Juneau time.
 When the seaplane left Seattle, according to Associated Press dis patches received by The Empire, the three men aboard hoped to make the nonstop flight to Juneau in six hours. Weather reports sent to Seattle early this morning stated there were fresh winds, cloudy, and some rain.
 Three Men As Crew
 The craft was piloted to Juneau by Anscel C. Eckmann, with Robert Ellis as navigator and Jack Halloron, mechanic.
 In addition to determining the feasibility of a regular passenger service between Seattle and Alaska, the plane is expected to engage in fish surveys for certain Alaska can ming interests and conduct patrol work for the Bureau of Fisheries.
 Has Good Speed
 The plane is the regular Locke head Vega with seaplane pontoons for water landing. The ship is powered with the 425 horsepower Pratt and Whitney motor which gives the plane an air speed of 163 miles an hour.
 The plane is the water type of ship that was used by Capt. George H. Wilkins and pilot Ben Eielson in their Polar expedition a year ago and also by Art Goebel in his rec ord breaking across continent flight recently
 Perfect Take-Off
 Pilot Eckmann after landing here stated that perfect take-off was made at Seattle at 7:15 o'clock this morning. Gasoline in the main tanks and in the auxiliaries at the start totaled 220 gallons. After the flight a checkup revealed that 120 gallons were used during the trip of near 1000 miles.
 No Difficulties
 Commenting on the northward air cruise Navigator Robert Ellis said that no difficulty was ex- oerienced. Pilot Eckmann stated n this connection that the naviga- tor was able at all times to place his pencil on their exact location.
 Varying weather conditions were experienced. At the start the weather was clear with no winds. AS the miles were covered up the coast some adverse winds were en- ,ountered and conditions of visi- oility necessitated flying at varying attitudes, During the flight the plane flew sometimes at 100 feet rom the surface of the water and It other times at attitudes of sev- eral thousand feet.
