Graf Zeppeln's Raid on Ice Fleet
 To Be Led by U. s. Coast Guardsmen
By F. B. COUPON Associated Press Science Writer)

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Uncle Sam plans air raids the next two summers on the far north base" from which the iceberg fleet an- nually sails south to harass north Atlantic shipping.
 Lieut. -Comdr. Edward H. Smith iceberg expert of the United States coast guard, will lead the raids" on board the Graf Zeppelin. which this summer is to fly to the North Pole to meet Sir Hubert Wilkins submarine Nautilus on it's voyage under the ice. Next summer he will make more extensive scientific air tour of the Arctic regions.
 This year Commander Smith will utilize the Graf's 10-day trip from Spitzbergen to the Pole and back to study ice conditions in the Arc tic ocean that may affect move ment of icebergs farther south. In 1882 it is expected the Graf will fly directly over the west coast of Greenland and Baffin bay. where icebergs break off from the giant Greenland glaciers sliding slowly seaward, and start south for the open Atlantic.
 Air Study Advantageous
 From the air Commander Smith believes he can observe better than from land or aboard ship how pre- vailing winds affect movements of the bergs, direction of ocean cur rents that may carry them south and whether floating sea ice from the Arctic ocean is connected with their wanderings
 He will seek to discover why the annual iceberg fleet invading the Atlantic varies in numberss from more than 1900 to fewer than l00 in a season.
 Commander Smiths ice observa- tions, however, will be only one phase of the scientific work plan- ned for the Graf's trip in 1892 which will be part of the exten- sive program of the polar year. of 1932-33.
 l While 50 or more scientific sta- tions are established on land al strategic points in the Arctic and Antarctic to study weather, the earth's atmosphere and magnetic conditions during that period, the Graf Zeppelin will serve as a sort of rowing station, cruising all over the Arctic with group of scientist passengers and their instruments aboard.
 Air Mail Route Survey
 They will study weather conci- tions on the proposed air mail route from England to America by way of Iceland, Greenland and Labrador Winds, fogs and temperatures all over the Arctic basin will be inves- tigated to learn their possible ef- feet on weather farther south.
 While the dirigible hovers above the ice pans, the scientists will tesl sea depths, gather samples of bot tom materials and sea life, ant not conditions at many points in accessible except by air.
 From Tromsoe, Norway, the Grai will fly west over Greenland to the iceberg "calving ground" in Baffir bay, then on to Fairbanks, Alaska where the scientists will board her
 After circling the Arctic sea fol observations, the scientists will bt returned to Fairbanks and the Gra1 will cruise back to Tromsoe, on tht way circling over mysterious North : ern land, whose contours have mol been fully exployed.
 The 1881 trip is planned to serve } partly as a training cruise for the longer flight next year.

and west across a deserted country along the northern coast of AL aska.
 The fourth route Is over the Att lantic, across the end of Green land, then. north to Spitzbergen and across Siberia.
 Although Col Lindbergh is con- sidering four routes the final de- cision depends on establishment of satisfactory fuel bases. He is par ticularly interested in the route across Alaska over Boring Strait to Siberia. then to the Nipponese Islands.
