Soviet Scientists Will Be

At Mercy of Floes And Currents

Moscow, Nov. 1. Repeating the bold experi- ment made four decades ago by the Norwegian explorer, Fritjof Nansen, Soviet scien- tists are planning deliberate- ly to freeze a ship in the Arctic ice packs and float wherever the Polar currents may carry them.

The story of Lasseter's Reef | has excited prospectors in Auh- tralia for more than 30 years. Young Harry Lasseter, lost in the Australian wilds, found a reef "with yellow stuff in it as thick as plums in a pudding." He gathered a few specimens and set off along the trail back! to civilisaton.

The advantage of this type of con-: struction, as Nansen proved, is that when subjected to pressure by ice packs, the ship, instead of being crushed as was the ill-fated "Chelinskin" lust year, is merely forced to the surface of the ice. The ship is now being designed and will be completed within two

years.

Now it is being asked: "Will Colonel Lindbergh himself, the one man whose word might influence the Supreme Court, inter- vene on Hauptmann's behalf ?"

Intimate_friends of Colonel Lindbergh suggest that he might be swayed by the grow- ing belief that there must have. been others besides Hauptmann concerned in the outrage.
