SON FOR FEAR OF DISASTER
FOR POLAR EXPEDITION
NOME, Alaska, May 14 (P)—
Friends here of Roald Amundsen to
day saw no reason, despite a reported
storm, to worry because the Norge
had not reached Nome on the trans
polar flight. They declared the pre
dictions that he would reach here
Wednesday night were a characteris
tic ruse of Amundsen who discovered
the South Pole, first navigateq a Ma
rine vessel through the Arctic ocean
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, tdice
flew toward the North Pole by air
plane, and vainly dispatched a vessel
to drift over the same spot in the ice,
wag sald to be fond of fooling the
world,

g Good Flying Conditlonsnnm
WASHINGTON, May 14 (P)—Re
ports from Alaska to the weather bu
reau today indicateq good flying con
ditions north and northwest of Nome
along th 2 probable cruse of the Norge.
Should the Norge have turned back to
ward Spitzbergen, it would probably

sible fog, the bureau said.

ing airship, due to have reached
Nome laz_st night.
Silence Explained |
NEW YORK, May 14 (#)—TFailure
to receive radio communications t‘rom‘
the Norge since passing over the
North Pole is possibly due to the fact‘
that the craft entered a locality in
which the air is ionized, said Mich
ael I. Pupin, professor of electro-me
chanics in Columbus University.
