DIRIGIBLE FACES FUEL SHORTAGE ITALIA HAT BE FORCED - T MOOR AT VADSOE General Nobile Reports by Rdlo Tna AtrabJp la Having Trou ble in Stiff Gale (Copyright by the Assoctacea press 1928) KINGS BAY, Spitsbergen, May 17. (AP) Shortage of gasoline iuoolv may force the dirigible It alia, now returning from a flight to Lenin Land, to seek the moor ing mast at Vadsoe, in Northern most Norway, instead of continu ing on its base here. Radio messages from the diri gible indicate that it is meeting with more than a little difficulty n fighting against a stiff north west breeze. Taking into account that the ship has been in virtually continuous flight since - leaving here shortly before 2 p. m. on Tuesday, members of the base force felt that the Ralita could have little fuel remaining. . Throughout the afternoon Gen eral Umberto Nobile asked his base ship the Citta di Milano. for radio bearings to determine her position. The officers of the mota 3r ship were kept busy poring over charts and sending the informa tion he required. ' - The Italia had stopped at Vad- ioe enroute here and an emergen cy base has been established there. Unless a change in weather condi tions permits a return here with- iut refueling it is regarded as al most certain that the dirigible will ie moored at Vadsoe. At 7 o'clock tonight the Italia reported that she was approxi mately 800 kilometers (500 miles) outheast of this archipelago. Gen eral Nobile said, he would attempt co fly around South Cape, the southernmost point of Spitsbergen, ind thence follow the west coast o Kings Bay. This, of course, in ;vent the opposing wind does not oree him to go to Vadsoe. From seven o'clock Wednesday ?rening until an hour before mid ligbt the Italia sailed over Lenin -and (Nicholas II Land) but such .-as the forbidding view that met he sight of the Italian explorers bat plans for putting men ashore ,-ere abandoned.

The additional registration is believed to be due partly to nat ural increase in population, but also largely to the new law which prohibits swearing in at the polls oa election day. Only those al ready registered can cast their bal lots today. : There are 23,578 voters regis tered in the county at the present time. Fair weather predicted for today, and considerable interest aroused in. several local issues, in djcjtehat a substantial propor tion of this number would vote. The usual election sees anywhere from one half to two thirds of the registered voters casting their bal lots. County Clerk U. G. Boyei stated yesterday. The registered number of-voters, in Salem runs slightly under half that in the county as a whole. Four years ago this county's to tal registration stood at 22,735. Further registration statistics show that there are a total of 17, 508 republicans entitled to vote in the county today as compared witl. (Cod tinned on ptffe S.)

There are 5 names printed on the re publican ballot, leaving out of account tire city election which runs on a non-party basis; and the democrats will select- from among 33 candidates whose names are on the ballot, and if they are to vote for every office, must write in names in a number of blank spaces. For republicans, Inasmuch as Herbert Hoover's nomination for the presidency here is assured and there is only one possibility of voting for a delegate to the national convention who will not support Hoover, chief Interest centers in the choice of a candi date for congressman from the first district. Popular At Home Salem being Congressman W. C. Hawley'e home city, Marlon county la expected to return him a huge majority, and since Mr. Haw ley's record 'and achievement at Washington are wefl" know!, the same should be true elsewhere in the district However, James W. Mott of Astoria, his oppon ent, has been waging a strenuouB campaign while the incumbent has been "sawing wood" at the national capital, ao there is enough uncertainty to produce keen interest in the result. The one candidate for republi can delecate who Is opposed to Hoover, by the way, is Dorr B. Keasey of Multnomah county. In this matter of delegates, however, there is special local in terest due to the fact that Hal D. Patton of Salem is a candidate for delegate from the first con gressional district, while Levi T. Pennington of Newberg, well known here, ia a candidate for delegate at large. Local Man Runnig A Salem man. Circuit. Judge L. j H. McMahen. is also involved in the three cornered race for two republican nominations for the su preme court, and this contest also is of vital interest to local peo pjle. However, since the supreme court members reside in Salem and Judge McMahan's two oppon ants are Incumbents, Chief Jus tice John L. Rand ana ueorge Rossman, the local Issue is less sharply drawn. For all state offices, as a mat ter of fact, Salem is peculiarly (CJitinod oa pa( 4) Leaguers to hold meet Seventy Portland Delegates Take Boat For Astoria PORTLAND. May 17.

DelzeU, also of this city, is a candidate for dele gate at large. William S. Levens, local attor ney, is, the only candidate for at torney general. In the county election, F. B. Studnicka. seeking the shrlevality, is the only demo riatic aspirant. Since there Is at least a theor etical contest for presidential nominee In this state, this phase of the situation alone will prob ably account for the voting of a heavy percentage of the county's democrats. Alfred E. Smith, Thomas J Waish, James E. Reed and one Alonzo F. Workman are on the ballot Of the local candidate? for delegate. Fry Is for Smith and Harris and DelzeU announce a preference for Walsh. W. H. Can on of Jackson county, is Fry'F running mate on the Walsh ticket and O.
