 Capt. Wilkins has we'll said that EielSon is the greatest of all pioneer Arctic and Northern aviators.
 After his flight in the Antarc- tic he came back to Alaska and this winter he flew to his un- timely end where he perished in an Arctic blizzard on the bleak coast of northern Siberia. I speak of it as an untimely end, but I wonder if the free venture some spirit of Eielson would not have desired such an end. There is something tragic, something heroic, something weird abuCt heroic, something weird about goes back to the time of Sir John Franklin, and then Captain An- dre, who hoated out in his bal Icon and was never heard of more, and then Amundsen, who lost his life in the Arctic fields, searching for man who was not his friend.
 There is this contrast between the deaths of Amundsen and EielSOn, Anundson had no other worlds to conquer. He had achieved all his ambitions in Arctic exploration, and, advanc- ed in years, he passed away in the Arctic solitude.

 In closing, MT. Speaker, I want to say that it would be a Splel- did thing if the Committee cn Military Affairs would report olt the bill of the gentleman from North Dakota (Mr. Burtnes5). That bill has been in the con- mittee for two sessions of Con- gross. It would be splendid thing if this tribute could be pail posthumously at this time in Or der that his father, his friends in his home, as well as the people of Alaska may honor him in this way after his death.
