Must Be Justified By
Information .
1 w I
WASHINGTON. June 18 (AP).—
The Navy section of the Macmillan
expedition to the Arctic will make
Inectsl nights in search oi: the mill-
ing Amundsen party if information
justifying such action is received.
Secretary Wilbur'la‘id today. but no . '
detailed instructions on the matter
will be glveh the party and
unusual h rde ill that work.
in a for l slatemtnt. Mr. Wilbur
said:
' “In regard to the plane for the
relief of Amundsen, want to re-
peat concerning'tlle r were of the ‘
MaeMillan aai the bevyt expedi-
tion. that it had nothing to do with
the relief 0: Amundsen. and we ex-
pect Commander or“ to carry out ,
the plans an acre upon and fully
‘understocd.
If. however. informa-
tion is received on coming the
plans of Amundsen and lndlcatihg
with some degree of probability
whether a. search for him would be
reasonably justified then’ of course.
those in charge of the Navy planes
will not only carry out their rou-
tine tiights. but will make any spe-
cial tllgnts deemed necessary to dis.
cover the whereabouts of Amund~
sen. but in so doing they are not
expected to take any unusual haz-
ares e:.ecpt such hazards as Justi-
iled by the actual discovery of 010
whclcaboute of Ammldttln. No de-
tailed instructions will be given to
the party other than that they shall
early out their plans."
Grounds for btorcll.
I! it is found advisable to hunt
for Amundsen by airplane after he
reaches Btah. ('Nenland. it is exé
poeted that the search will be con-
ducted from Cape Morris Jessup on
the ncrthwestern edge of Peary Land
at the northern tip of Greenland.
since the aviators could pass direct-
ly north over water from Etah to
the vicinity of Cape Columbia in
Grant Land. and then swing to the
northeast in a short'tlight to Peary
Land. From there a. wide radius of
action would be possible over the
Polar Bea.
