Some Of the most daring feats OF

in testing the strength and per-

Among the most fascinating in
struments Of the laboratory are
those for testing propellers. and the
wind tunnels In which techicians

Propellers are subjected to strains
many times greater than those ex-

propellers at terrific speeds and their
roar may be heard in Dayton, five

Of the heavily armoured test room.
In two wind tunnels, one five feet

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. - Presi- dent Hoover hopes to retiiifte his sundered party in the Senate dur ing the regular session of Con- gress, beginning today, on new legislative program.
 Prohibition and law enforcement probably will be the spearhead about which. the President will seek to collect the Republican forces and split the Democratic opposition in Congress.
 On a program to reorganize the Prohibition service under the De- partment of Justice, Republican chieftains see the opportunity to bring the Republican West and East together again and by the same stroke to divide the Northern and Southern Democrats.
 However, before MT. Hoover can get the regular session of Congress to work on these new policies, the tariff bugaboo remains to be dis posed of. The tariff controversy, along with the farm relief contest, has brought about the deepest

GALES AND FOG HALT AIRPLANE
 RESCUE EFFORT
Gale at Schooner N anu k and Fog at Teller Keep
 Airplanes on Ground

A gale at the Nanuk and foggy weather at Teller yesterday held the Alaska Airways' planes back from starting an aerial search for Col Ben Eielson and Mechanician Bor- land, according to word received by Gov George A. Parks, this morn- ing, from Teller.
 Pilots Joe Crosson and Dorbandt are waiting at Teller for weather conditions to improve so they can hop off for a thorough search of the Siberian coast and adjacent areas inland. No news had been received from the Nanuk of the dogteam searching parties remain ing in the field.
 It has been three weeks since Col. Eielson took off from Nome on his last flight to the Nanuk, the trading ship frozen in off North Cape and from which he was engaged with Dorbandt in transporting passen- gers and furs to Nome. He took off on November 12. On that date Russian trapper reported hearing a plane, thought to be Eielson's, slightly offshore and flying in or above a fog. Last week, another Russian report said smoke signals had been seen in the foothills by a native. Of five teams with rescue parties in the field, but one has returned to the Nanuk. It was headed by the ships engineer who covered a 90-mile area to the foot hills without seeing any trace of the missing flyers and their plane.
 Stormy weather both on the American and Siberian side of Der ing Strait, has prevailed continu- ously since Eielson's disappearance. This has prevented the use of air planes, assembled at Nome and Tel Ter, in searching for the missing flyers.
