Hubert Wilkins. explorer of the top

take his proposed trip beneath the
Arctic ice In an. obsolete United
States submarine. converted into q
"submersible boat"
The bearded explorer, together with
Simon Lake. submarine inventor and
builder, called upon Assistant secre-
tary Jahncke Of the navy yesterday to
try and purchase such a boat.
Whether the navy will sell has yet
to be decided.
Both wilkins and Lake were loath
to discuss their conference. The ex-
plorer acknowledged that the "possi-
bility Of using q submersible boat for
geophysical work In the Arctic" had
been discussed. He added that. being
q British subject, he himself could not
possibly purchase such q craft from
the government.
Asked for Details
Assistant Secretary Jahncke said
the explorer and inventor had been
advised to enclose details Of their
proposed purchase In q letter to Sec
rotary Adams.
Jahncke added that undoubtedly
the request would eventually be sent
to the department Of state. A clause
in the London naval treaty, which
has yet to come before the senate,
makes specific mention Of expert
mental submarines, he explained, and
thus the proposed sale would involve
an international angle.
