 Their landing at Victory Point marked the first time white men have been known to visit King Will liam's Land during the summer l season.
 Sir John Franklin. a British naval officer, set out in May, 1S45, with two ships and a company of 129 officers and men to, discover a northwest passage.
 Fate in Doubt IA Years
 The ships, the Terror and the Erebus, were last seen at the en- trance of Lancaster Sound. It was 14 years later that first information of their subsequent fate was ob- tained. Later searchers found relics and skeletons on King Williams s Island which established that sur vivors of the expedition after loss of their ships had attempted to reach the Hudson Bay company's post at Fish river. l In cairn at Point Victory was found an account of the exped1- tion's movements before the aban- donment of the ships. .-.

 On Journey

Moscow, Sept. 10 R,-The Grat Zeppelin, landing here at noon to- day, paid her first official visit to the Soviet capital and was greeted with red flags flying and bands playing proletarian airs. After a brief visit she left for Germany again.
 The dirigible, which on her round the world flight last summer sailed across the entire U. S. s. R from east to west, appeared over Moscow earlier than expected. Her progress was speeded by a tail wind during the 27 hour flight from Friedrichshafen, Germany.
 After circling low over the city and twice dipping over the ancient Kremlin in tribute to the chiefs of the republic, the Graf came down on October field. About 100000 holders of special tickets had been waiting for her there since early morning.
 A detachment of 250 red soldiers held down the dirigible while Dr Hugo Eckener descended and was greeted by high Russian air officials Mail was dropped and more taken aboard.
 The big guard of soldiers had diff. ficulty in keeping the great crowd from rushing the Graf.
 After an exchange of greetings and courtesies Dr. Eckener climbed on board again. The Graf rose once more circled over Moscow and eettled down for the return flight Eriedrichshafen.

JOB SEEKERS QUIT
 IF OFFERED WORK Hills Reports Many Dodge En- ployment By Private Firms PREFER CITY PAYROLL
Hundreds Who Placed Names on File Not Heard of Again Crowd Vanishes When Contrac- tors Wants Men.

Instances of refusal on the part employment other than that offered by the city despite claims of dire need are being recorded by Ike T. Hills, foreman of the city storeyard and director of the municipal em- ployment bureau, he said today.
 Several days ago, Foreman Hills received a telephone call asking that 10 workmen be furnished to con- tracting firm. He transmitted the information that jobs were available to a group of about 25 men stand ing in front of his office and then returned to await the arrival of the contractor. A few minutes later he left his office to find that every man had left the storeyard, not one wait ing for the opportunity 10 gain em- ployment.
 A coal company sent in a call for truck driver yesterday. By re- ferring to his files, Hills found the application of a former truck driver and he caused a message to be sent calling him to the job. He did not respond.
 Prefer to Work for City
 Several of those approached with offers of work for private employers have been frank in their statement to Hills that they want nothing but municipal work, although they do not appear able to give any reason for this selection.
 The files of the employment bu- reau show the names of hundreds of men who have made formal appli- cation for work but who have never returned to see whether jobs await them. In the opinion of Foreman Hills, many of these men merely wish to be in a position to say that they have sought employment and explain their condition of idleness by saying that the city is not in a po- sition to take them on.
 On Friday and Saturday of each week. work cards are given approXi- mately 200 men. The list flor this week is already made up, but Hills today ventured a forecast that if there is a repetition of experience of preceding weeks, more than 35 of the men will not come after their tickets.
