...Rapidan camp President Hoover last week took his tall, angular friend Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, and eight Wilbur assistants. Their purpose: to devise Interior economies to help reduce the prospective billion-dollar budget.

(The expedition's two little...
...search of Professor Alfred Wegener, head of a German expedition farther north in Greenland, whose mission was similar to that of the British party. Professor Wegener set out from his base last September to take supplies to two men who, like Courtauld, were stationed at a central observation camp on the ice cap. Professor Wegener never returned. Just as Capt. Ahrenberg was about to join the search last week, word was received from a relief expedition which had penetrated to the camp with a powerful portable radio. The occupants of the camp were alive and well-but Professor Wegener...
