Information received in Nome today stated that former round the-World flier Jimmy Mattern landed at Fairbanks last evening following a nonstop flight from Oakland, California.
 Details were meagre, and the exact purpose of his flight is not definitely known at this time. However, it is believed he came North to assist in the aerial scar ch for the missing Soviet Polar plane, containing Chief Sigismund Levanefsky, and five members of his crew.
 Mattern had intended hopping from Oakland to Moscow nonstop next summer, as he considered the weather at this time of the year, to risky to chance such a long flight. His action in flying to Fairbanks with his big, new trans-polar plane, is believed prompted by the desire to aid in the search.
 Incidentally, it was Pilot Levan efsky who flew across Russia and Siberia to bring Mattern to Nome in 1883, when he cracked up on a round the world flight near Ana dyr, Siberia.
 The local station of the U. s. Weather Bureau is now sending weather reports every six hours for broadcast to the Soviet plane, believed down north of the Arctic coast of Alaska.
