 Ice conditions were much the same as usual, they reported. We wouldn't have missed the eXper- lence of seeing and feeling thous- andS of tons of ice damned and thrust about by the currents dur ing the winter season" said the members of the expedition.
 The thrill of watching an ocean of ice being thrust up into the air and crumble and fall un- der the terrific pressure of the Arctic currents, was one which we shall never forget they said, The danger of hunting and car rylng on an existence for the people of King Island is one of the hardest examples of civiliza- ton 1t has been our privilege to participate in. The force of the ice foes grinding and crunching during the long nights, seemed as If the currents wished to literally drive King Island out of the Der ing Sea and into the sky.

said The Times man.

Nope. It's ice particles.
Just caught a hatful of them
and there isn't a snow flake
there"
Temperature at the moment The

were arguing stood at 81, only
three degrees higher than the

"Snow flakes can't exist at

Delay Plea Meets
New Opposition

Q.N.S.) President Roosevelt dis
cussed the Dies committee investi
eating un-American activitie:
again today, and obliquely criti
cized the conduct of the commit
tees hearings.
In reply to a statement by Chair
man Martin Dies D0, Texas, o1
the committee, that the CHIEF
Executive had been "misinformed'
about the inquiry's activities, the
President suggested to a press
conference that the correspond
ents covering the Dies hearings
be interviewed.
Predicts "GoOd Story
Mr.. Roosevelt thought there
would be a good story, as he put it,
in the reporters views Of the COM
mittee.
1t was the second time within a
few days that the President has
been critical of the committee.
On the first occasion he issued
a prepared statement that the
committee had unfairly attacked
Governor Frank Murphy Of Michi-
gan for his official attitude in the
Michigan labor strife of last year.
Meanwhile, Chairman Dies an
nounced, without any explanation,
the postponement of today'S hear
ing at which a witness was to tes-
tify on the activities of Com.
munists in this country in recruit
ing American youths for service in
the Spanish loyalist army. Some
testimony on this subject already
has been heard by the committee.
Refuse to Adjourn
But despite increasing pressure
from Democratic leaders, Chair
man Dies and four of his asso-
ciates have joined against the
proposal that the committee ad-
journ its hearings until after the
general elections November 8.
With Dies against such post
ponement are Reps. Starnes of
Alabama and Mosier of Ohio,
both Democrats, and Reps. Ma
son of Illinois and Thomas of
New Jersey. Republicans. Thus
the committee stands five against
Reps. Dempsey of New Mexico
and Healey Of Massachusetts,
Democrats, who sought to delay
testimony.
Dies replied to Dempsey and
Healey that the majority of the
committee believed the impor-
tance of the investigation tran.
scended political expediency."
