They planned to resume their trip to- day. On yesterdays hop, they crossed the Alaska Coastal noun tain range in which Mount Me Kinley towers 20,300 feet and after reaching the interior encountered strong head winds. The winds forced them to turn back to Big Delta, after once passing over that settlement.

Newark BlOckades Channel; Wants No More Junk Heaps

NEWARK, N. J. (P)-The city of Newark'S -fireboat navy armed with chemical sprays and water hoSeS-manned battle sta tions today in an attempt to block ade the one-time battleShip New Mexico as the 3O,OOO-ton giant ap- preached the port Newark chan nel enroute to a salvage dock here.
 City officials, who have request ed the navy to vacate it's lease on part of the port in order to permit the start of a $7O,O0O,000 develop ment program, said they wanted no more ships scrapped at Newark and would block the channel en- trance to halt the New Mexico and the three tugs which are towing it..
 Mayor Vincent J. Murphy said, however, that his dispute today was mainly with the salvage finn, LipSett, Inc, to whom the navy had leased the salvage docl; and sold the de-commissioned New Mexico. Murphy made it clear he wanted no battle with the navy and had nothing against the New Mexico.
 ''She is a fine old ship with a wonderful record" he said, but the New Mexico is no more a part of the navy today than our fire boats are part of the coast guard, which originally had them. The New Mexico has been purchased by Lipsett, Inc, from the navy and is now merely a potential scrap heap"
 Navy officials agreed ii was not their fight. Rear Adm. Russell s. Berkey, acting compandant of the Third Naval district, said in New York that "a preliminary examin- ation of the situation at Newark would indicate that the navy is not directly concerned"
 While the New Mexico neared New York Harbor enroute from Boston, Newark officials appealed to President Truman for some moral support before sending the city's two 30-foot fireboats agains'
