MOSCOW. June 25.-Dr Otto J.
Schmidt, leader OF the Soviet North
Pole expedition, last night disclosed a
proposal for chain of "amphibian
tank bases for Moscow-United States
flights across the polar wastelands.
DR.. Schmidt and other members of
his party are expected to fly tomor-
row to Moscow from Archangel on
the last leg of their return flight from
Rudolf Island. base of operations for
the polar venture.
Pilot I. P. Mazuruk was left at Ru-
dolf Island. some $50 miles from the
North Pole, for rescue work IL neces-
sary.
DR.. Schmidt said the polar expedi-
ton has shown that planes can land
freely on polar ice and carry out un-
limited scientific work.
'Automotive amphibian tanks are
a means of transport on polar ice"
he said. They could break through
or travel across solid ice foes which
ice breakers cannot penetrate be-
cause they would waste too much
fuel.
Instead of crushing ice foes, the
amphlbians could crawl up on them,
glide across the ice and return to
water when crevices occur.
There is nothing difficult in this
plan for designers Such chain
could be established along the route
at 500 kilometer approximately 1925
miles, intervals. The duty of such
bases would be to prepare landing
fields and furnish weather and radio
reports and directional beams.
Both tanks and fuel planes would
provide first line of observation for
ice foes and weather. the second line
OF observation being the permanent
continental and island bases already
established. Thus We would have
exact knowledge OF conditions all
along the route all the time"
