BOWLER FIGHTS ICE
AT PORT BURWELL
Elements Threaten Berlin
Bound Plane as Crew
Waits to Take Off.
BY ROBERT WOOD.

PORT BURWELL, July 10-The bat
tie to save the 'Untin' Bowler, the Chi
cago Tribune'S Berlin-bound amphibian
plane, from the ice and tide, continued
to-day. while the crew awaited good
weather for the first long water hop
from here across Davis Strait to Mount
Evans, Greenland. Several times it ap-
peared certain that the ship would be
dashed to pieces on the crags.
Flying was impossible to-day. Weather
reports showed that rainy, overcast
skies and poor visibility prevailed over
the route to the north along the coast
of Baffin Land and across Davis Strait.
Yesterdays sunshine lasted only eight
hours. Last night the barometer drop
ped suddenly, driZZling rain set in and
a heavy Arctic fog drifted in across
Hudson Strait, lowering over the snow
capped hills. All day long an endless
line of Eskimos swung across the
mountain which stands between the
harbor where the fuel is stored and the
ford where the Bowler is anchored.
Each native bore 10 gallons of gasoline
on his back. t was rough, hard climb
I'D a steep cliff, across the jagged noun
tain. I'D and down another precipice to
the shore of the ankle, but the little
brown men went about their task
cheerily.
Will Pay EskimOs.
Chesley Ford. factor of the Hudson
Bay post here, will give them each
portion of tobaccomik for their trouble,
and they will be well satisfied. Money
is unknown to the EskimoS.
The work of fueling the Bowler had
to be suspended frequently to fight OF
the icebergs and to keep the Bowler
pushed of the rocks. Last night the
Ice pack formed in circle around the
ship which prevented the bergs going
out with the tide. Robert H. Cast and
Parker D. Cramer the Bowler's pilots,
let down its retractable wheels. EskimoS
piled rocks on its long nose and pushed
ice cakes under its tail to keep it from
slipping tail first into the water. For
two hours it hung perilously in this
position until the tide came in, broke
up the ice and set the ship afioat at
midnight. It appeared that one wing
would be hung over a bowlder as the
tide receded. Cast directed that the
ship be cut loose from its mooring,
motors and TAXED into midstream,
thereby lodging the icebergs moving
out to sea early this morning. An off,
shore wind came up and the Bowler
rode safely at the end of its mooring
throughout the night.
Ready for Take-off.
Tonight 900 gallons of fuel are
aboard and the plane is ready for the
take-off tomorrow. With favorable
weather we will leave early for the
700-mile flight to Mount Evans. The
course from there will be over the
Button Islands, across q 50-mile
stretch of water to Resolution Islands
and along the coast of Baffin Island to
Cape Walsingham. Here the course
turns eastward across so miles of water
to Greenland. There we will land at
the end of long ford that leads up
from the sea to Mount Evans. We
hope to find clear water at the end
of it, where the Bowler may be safe
from the crashing icebergs.

Grafton.
The radical Socialist paper Oeuvre
today said M. BRAND had received so
many favorable opinions from powers
represented in the League of Nations
that he hoped to outline his plans for
European federation to a League
Assembly in September. He hopes even
to call a conference at the end of the
year TO lay the foundations of organi-

The foreign minister's idea is to fed
crate Europe, economically perhaps at
first, but politically later.
The idea has been welcomed warmly
by many, but it also has aroused some
skepticism. "Pertinax," In Echo de
Paris, caustically asked today how if
the League of Nations consistently had
failed to realize such scheme a spe-
cial conference called by the French
foreign minister could have any better
luck.

AID BILL
PAST AT LAST
BUT 1T GOES to- PRESIDENT
WITHOUT THE DEBEN-
TURE FEATURE

Washington, June 14.-EegisIa-
tive action on the farm relief bill
was completed today by senate
and house acceptance of the
compromise measure, from which
the export debenture plan was
eliminated, and it now goes to
President Hoover for signing.
This action at the capitol fol-
lowed decision earlier in the day
of the joint conference committee
recommending elimination of the
debenture proposition as result
of the overwhelming house vote
against it.
With the disposition of the farm
question, congress cleared the
legislative slate of the main task
for which it was called into extra
session by Mr.. Hoover.
The bill as enacted resembles
closely the original house meas
ure, which had the endorsement
of the chief executive. This led to
predictions from practically all
quarters that the measure would
receive prompt signature by the
president.
House approval of the compro-
mise bill was perfunctory, but the
senate vote was delayed by pro
tests from senators who favor the
export denbenture plain. No roll
call vote was taken in the house. /
The senate vote on the joint con-
'erence report was 73 to s.
Three republicans and five dem
lcratic senators voted against the I
Measure. They were: Lafollette,
Wisconsin; Norbeck, South Da-
lota, and Pine, Oklahoma. repub-
leans and Blease, South Carolina.

lew York; Walsh, Massachusetts.
nd Wheeler, Montana, democrats.

Measure so it could be sent forth

TRANSIENT M0T0RIST
MUST REGISTER CAR

Out-of-State motorists visiting
Montana must, after seven days in
the state, register their automo-
bfles and obtain registration stick
ers for their windshields, accord
ing to legislative provision which
became effective March IL. They
are then entitled to the privilege
of Montana highways for three
months, without payment of any
fees.
After the three-month period,
the act provides, if the visitors
can furnish satisfactory proof that
they are not engaged in gainful
occupation within the state, their
certificates may be extended for
an additional two months within
the calendar year without charge.
After this five months period, one
half of the regular license fee is
charged for each additional month.
Little concern has been given
this new law, and few, if any of
the stickers have been observed.
Foreign cars have been tagged in
some parts of the state and their
drivers ordered to appear at the
sheriff's headquarters ito explain
why their machines are not equip
ped with 1929 Montana license
plates.
According to the state act, there |
is no necessity for visiting motor
lists to obtain Montana plates or
TO become alarmed when they find I
their machines tagged because of
he absence of such plates. A five
month leeway is offered tourists
and others who visit Montana.
The state register may desig-
1ate county, city or town officers,
public societies or clubs or other
civic agencies, banks or other bus
ness institutions as agencies for
the provisions of the act.
