Plane Spends 3 Hour,
In Futile Hunt for 9
Missing in Antarctic
BY Alton [. BiokesIee

Assoeiafsd Press Foreign Correspondent
Aboard the USS Mt. Olympus,
Jan. IA seaplane secuted for nine
hours along the coast Of Bleak ELS
worth Land yesterday without find-
ing trace Of nine flyers missing from
the Navy's Antarctic expedition.
The crew Of the search plane, q
Martin Mariner sent out by the sea-
plane tender Pine Island, reported
an II ,000-square mile area OF the
tip of Cape Dart was covered in the
flight.
It was the second futile search for
the missing flyers, who failed to re-
turn from a flight December 80 over
the Franklin D. Roosevelt Sea. An
other seaplane from the Pine went
out Sunday to hunt for them, but
was forced by the weather to turn
back after two hours.
From the icebreaker Northwind
Rear Admiral Richard e. Cruzen
sent word to correspondents aboard
the Mount Olympus that the search
will continue as the weather per-
mits.
The Northwind is leading the CEN
tral group of the expedition through
the Ice pack toward Little America
600 miles distant In the, group are
the. Mount Olympus, the Yancey
and the cargo ship Merrick.
During yesterdays operations the
Merrick narrowly missed ramming
the icebreaker. The Northwind
travelling at an 8-knot . speed
smacked into a solid sheet of ice
and came to a virtual stop.
The Merrick, trailing by 200 yards
and unable to turn aside, moved
slowly toward the Northumberland
ly stopping. only 20 yards short.
During the excitement a general
quarters alarm was sounded on the
Northwind, bringing most Of the
crew racing out of their quarters.
With the exception of that Incl
dent the group made good progress
on its twisting course south. Pen

Norway College Plan
Described as Tie
To u. 5. and Britain
By Cospor Nonnes

Plans to establish an Anglo.
American college in Kongsberg, Nor.
way, for English and American stu.
dents were disclosed today by Chris
tian Oftedal, member of the
Norwegian Parliament, following 9
breakfast meeting Of the National
Committee of Christian Leadership
at the Hay-Adams Hotel.
Frank Mcintosh, president of the
organizations Fellowship Founda-
tion, presided at the gathering.
Mr.. Oftedal explained that the
purpose of the proposed college was
to further relations between Norway
and the two English-speaking coun-
tries. He pointed out that in the
past the educational tie between
Norway and Germany had been
close, and declared the projected
college was intended to develop
more fully the influence of demo-
cratic countries in his land.
The site for the college already
has been chosen, Mr.. Oftedal said.
The building to be used, he ex-
planned, is considered to be one of
the most beautiful wooden structures
in Europe. Aim of the proposed plan
is to provide English and American
students an opportunity. to mingle
with Norwegian students so that
each group would be able to under
stand better the ideals and back
grounds of the other.
Mr.. Oftedal will tour Norwegian
centers of population in the United
States during the next two months
to discuss the project with Amer
tans of Norwegian descent. He
emphasized there will be no money
appeal because the funds for the
college will be provided by Norway.
The only contribution from this
country will be that the students
sent must be able to pay their own
way, he added. Mr.. Oftedal is
publisher of the Stavenger Aftenblad,
third largest paper in Norway out
side of Oslo.
In his talk to the breakfast group,
Mr.. Oftedal, who was sentenced to
death by the Nazis and then placed
in solitary confinement when that
sentence was commuted, asserted
the lesson of the United States to
the world was "the 48 States and
the many people of different de-
nominations and faiths living to-
gether in peace"
Others to speak at the gathering
were: Sir Saba Habachy, Cairo,
Egypt, and Ernest T. Williams of
England. Mr.. Williams, a retired
British Admiralty official who is
chairman of the National Commit
tee for Christian Leadership of
Great Britain, is here to further
plans for the formation of an Inter
national Christian Leadership Or
ganization. He declared it will be
Christian, nonsectarian and nom

tor of the American organization.

Difficult to Remain Silent.
= It has been difficult to remain
silent in the midst of such public
abuse and wholesale disregard OF

lead to the necessity Of daily de-

In the interest Of fairness I must

be certain OF the development OF at
titudes in the innermost Chinese
Communist circles. Most certainly,
the course which the Chinese Com
munist Party has pursued in recent
months indicated an unwillingness
to make fair compromise. 1t has
been impossible even to get them to
sit down at conference table with
government representatives to dis
cuss given issues. Now the Com
munists have broken off negotia-
tions by their last offer which de-
manded the dissolution of the Ma
tional Assembly and a return to the
military positions hof January IS,
which the government could not be
expected to accept.
Between this dominant reaction
ary group in the government and
the irreconcilable Communists, who,
I must state, did not so appear last
February, lies the problem Of how
peace and well being are to be
brought to the long-suffering and
recently inarticulate mass of the
people OF emma.
The reactionaries in the govern
ment have evidently counted on sub
stantial American support regard
less of their actions. The Com
munists by their unwillingness to
compromise in the national interest
are evidently counting on economic
collapse to bring about the fall of
the government, accelerated by ex-
tensive guerrilla action against the
long lines of rail communications,
regardless of the cost in suffering
to the Chinese people.

New York (FP) - The Friends
of Democracy called on the Mutual

to drop commentator Upton Close

or counter-balance him with liberal

National Director l.. M. Birk-

stations licensed by the Federal
Communications Commission are
obligated to operate "in the public
interest"
"Close is an Anglophobe and a
Russophobe," Birkhead said. "He
attacks the purpose of labor. There
is nothing he says that is in the
public interest"
Ii Mutual does not drop Close,
it should at least balance his views
with those of liberal commentators,
Birkhead said. Heavily weighted

tors as Fulton Lewis Jr., Henry j.
