 The rescue ship Sagona, with no survivors of the Viking abroard, is fast in the ice waiting for a west wind to free her.
 Capt. Keen, master of the Viking and seven of the men of the crew must await changed ice conditions which will permit them to be car- ried in boats across the ice from Horse Island.
 Balchen intends to fly over the ice in search of possible bodies or survivors who may be marooned.

PILOT MOLLER
 AT KING CITY
 ON MARCH 9TH
Was Out of Gas and Walk ed to Chisana Village
 to Secure Supply
FIRST INFORMATION
 IS GIVEN BY GILLIAN
Flier Scheduled to Co to Nabesna but Never
 Reported Landing

CORDOVA, Alaska, March 21. - Harold Gillian, Presi- dent of the Gillian Airways, has wired the following from McCarty:
 "Pil0t Fred MOller landed at King City on the Chisana on March 9 at 2 o'clock p.m., out of gas. He walked to Chisana Village and took 15 gallons of my gasoline and started back for King City intending to take off for Ma besna but never landed there. Must be at King City. If nothing further is heard from him I will fly across and see."
 Pilot Moller left Fairbanks March in the forenoon with load for Eagle, Fort Yukon and Circle. Three planes left Fairbanks and during two days searched over D. 900 miles of the interior especially the Yukon Valley, without finding any trace of the aviator or his plane.
 Pilot Ed Young was unable to get to the headwaters of the Tan ana River on account of fog and it is in this locality, according to Gillam's report, that Moller came down, out of fuel
 The report substantiates the earl fer belief that Moller might have flown to the headwaters of the Panama River, where he has min- ing property, before proceeding to Circles Eagle and Fort Yukon. The place where Gillian reports Moller was last head from, is about 100 miles south of Eagle. The Chistana and Nabesna rivers flow into the Panama River.

Heavy Fog in Harbor
Cancels Lindy Flight

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 UN.S0
Due to the heavy fog which hung
over New York harbor, the plan
to have Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh fly Dino Grandi, foreign
minister of Italy, from New York
to Washington, D. c., was aban-
doned, it was announced by the
Pan-American Airways shortly
after noon today.
The liner Conte Grande, on
which Grandi is a passenger, had
pulled through the narrows and
had been sighted at Quarantine
just about the time the announce
ment was made.
will Go By Train
Colonel Lindbergh, meanwhile,
had taken off in a monoplane
from Hicksville, L. l., to the
Glenn H. Curtiss Airport at
North Beach. Queens. Shortly
after his arrival at the airport
the flight with Grandi was
called off.
Grandi will go to Washington
by train after the Conte Grande
docks.
The plan of the State Depart
ment to have Grandi fly to Wash
ington without touching foot on
shore was matured while mass
meeting of anti-Facisti were fran
ing a protest to the President to
drop the governmental program
for a gala reception.
"HeckIing" Subscribed
The demonstration was marked
by a riot between Communists
and less radical members Of the
anti-Facisti group. A sum was
raised at the meeting to finance
"heckling" of the visiting italian
Statesman wherever he can be
found"
However, the State Department
denied the decision to have Signor
Grandi and his party flown to
Washington had anything to do
with fear of anti-FaScista demon
strations.
1t was pointed out the new ar.
ranement was mere a gesture OF
good will to permit Foreign Minis
ter Grandi to greet President
Hoover within a few hours of his
arrival

GIFTS AND MAIL
SWAMP EDITH
IN HOSPITAL
Torture Child Needs Secretary;
More Than Forty Letters
Delivered Today

Nurses at Gallinger Hospital
say Edith Riley needs a secre-
tary.
The youngsters mail is growing
daily. This morning the postman
handed her forty odd missiveS
coming from every section Of the
country and each expressing the
deepest sympathy.
Some few were bitter in their
comments about her father and
step-mother. Others merely wrote
to ask If the Senders could not
buy her some present as yet not
included in the array in her tiny
hospital room.
Chorus Girl Sends 81
Mary, a chorus girl out of
work." writes from New York:
Dear little girl: Here Is q
dollar to buy yourself some
candy. It's all l can afford
but 1 would like to have you
for my own little girl. Maybe
we can arrange it."
Children write saying they are
praying every night for Edith's
speedy recovery. Alice La Jeone,
of Elmwood, Ill, says:
Il am s years old and
haven't any mother either. We
ought to be friends and / would
love you very dearly"
Ruth Dempsey, IL, who read
of Edith'S sad little story in
New York, sends kisses-pages Of
'em, and a dollar to buy candy.
Says Edith's nurse:
"If Edith ate all the candy
she receives she'd be a mighty
sick little girl"
Interested in Babies
Babies continue to thrill Edith
far more than the huge dolls
that sit primly in their little
chairs near her crib.
This morning Dorothy Lee
Peck. IL months old. 629 H St.
NJ w., was a visitor at the hospi-
tai with her mother. Edith drew
her own little chair near the two
and watched for several minutes
the mother and baby out of her
curiouSly sad blue eyes.
The mother put Baby Dorothy
in Edith's frail arms and the older
child patted and caressed the tiny
one. She kissed the back of the
downy little head and softly
handled the babv feet
Questioned, the shyly said she
likes babies much better than

GRAND| ONLY 36,
IS YOUNGEST
PREMIER
Hooyer's Distinguished Guest
a Pioneer in italian FaS-
Cist Movement

Dino Grandi, the Italian for
eign minister, now en- route to
Washington, is one Of the most
interesting figures of the
Fascist chiefs. His name does
not get into the Fascist press
as often as many others. He
is only occasionally to be seen
at the movies and rarely heard
in the talkies. Yet, in many
ways, he is a greater force IN
the party than those who are
ever before the Italian public.
Born near Bologna only 36
years ago, he is the youngest
foreign minister in Europe. His
friends declare he is the ablest.
Foes, and what successful man is
without them, talk about his Jekyll
and Hyde personality. This is
all SAdSSGIdIlOLI.
Long a Fascist
But the fact is that the Dino
Grandi who was chief Of staff Of
the Fascist quadrumvirate during
the Fascist march on Rome was a
very different man from the ele-
CANT, well-dressed, well-groomed,
suave delegate to Europe's coun-
Gil tables at Geneva.
And yet not so far removed from
the young Dino Grandi who
backed Gabrielle DAnnunzio's S
seizure of Fiume in the very teeth
of the peace conference, then sit
ting in Paris, and against the
wishes of the Italian government
that then was.
In those days Grandi was al
ready a Fascist, though the Fas-
eist organizations had not yet
seen light of day. When he and
D'Annunzio and the ardent young
men who went to the poet flier'S
little kingdom, which was like one
of the renaissance courts you read
about in D'AnnunZioS tales, they
talked of Italy's after-war troubles
and Grandi drew up scheme for
syndicalist state to replace the
modern decadent parliamentary
state"
And these ideas are now en-
bodied in the Fascist Cooperative
State, which MuSsolini declares
to be the keystone of the regime.
Dino Grandi was one of the frs
Fascists to stand out for a revo-
lutionary movement, and not
merely a Fascist party. In those
days Mussolini was far less revo-
lutionary than Grandi.
t After the Fiume adventure was
over Grandi went back to Bologna
and started organizing local Fas-
cists. He fought the Socialists
Communists and those who con-
tested his claim to local leader
ship. He became the local Fas-
cist chief.
After the march on Rome he
became vice president OF the
Chamber of Deputies.
Delegate to League
He has been Italian delegate to
the League of Nations since May,
1925, and in between Geneva ses-
sions attended The Hague con
ference on war reparations, the
Washington and London debt
conferences and the London naval
disarmament conference. He has
been foreign minister since Sep,
1 tember, 1929.
