SIGNAL CORPS OPERATOR TO
 TOUR ARCTIC
Automobile with Skis and Tractor Tread Planned
 for Long Journey

PAYSON, Utah, Dec. 31.-Plans for 10000 mile land journey around the northern rim of the North Am erican continent were revealed here by Master Sergeant Stanley R. Nor gan, Signal Corps operator at Point Barrow, who recovered the bodies of Will Rogers and Wiley Post after their fatal crash, and who tele- graphed the first news of the disas- ter to a startled world.
 The trip is dependent, Morgan said, upon his ability to secure the financial backing necessary.
 He would leave Seattle for Point Barrow, travel east through the his toric Northwest assage to the northern tip of Hudson Bay, and down the west coast of Hudson Bay, thence back to Seattle.
 His vehicle on the trip would be an automobile, with skis and trac- tor tread, similar to one which Nor gan constructed to use in the Barrow region, with a special steam attach meat to keep the lubricating system operating in extreme low tempera- tu-cS.
 The purpose of the trip will be to demonstrate the feasibility of land travel other than by dog team in the far north.

Auction Basis Blamed.

NEW YORK, August 29 P).-Wall
Street bond circles today attributed
the failure of the Treasury to sell its
full offering of s1OO 100000 of Federal
farm mortgage bonds to the fact that
they were offered on the auction basis
to the highest bidder.
In this respect, Wall Street bond
men disagreed with Secretary Nor
genthau, who said in Washington
that he did not think the auction
method had anything to do with it.
Wall Street circles said that only
s85 ,592 900 of the Ia per cent four
year bonds were sold because dealers
could not make enough profit to make
it worth while for them to bid, and
banks held off because they thought
the auction method was disturbing to
the market.
In explaining how it was regarded
as disturbing, one expert pointed out
that when an average bid was found
half a point or so off from the level
at which corresponding issues were
selling. that tended to pull the market
into line.
