Oslo, Yesterday. It is thought unlikely that the airmen going to the rescue of the "Italia" will be able to land, as thelr flying bouts cannot alight on ice.. They will however be able to drop provisions to General Nobile.

While rain-makers look to the future for their reasons, the police base their claims upon the past as outlined in a small green pam:) phiet entitled "The General Elec- tion Law," published in 1928.
Section 416 reads, in part.—The

of voting, and during the entire time of the counting of votes.
Section 2639 provides that persons canvicted for violations of the above law shall be punished by Imprisonment of from 30 days to 6 months, AND a line of from 250 to P200.
