WASHINGTON, D. C (Spt.
Plying at an altitude or more than
18,000 feet, with the mercury at lfi
degree below nro. in order to photo
graph mountain of tremendotia bulk.
Bradford Waahburn, leader of the Na
tional aeortrraphic Society's Yukon
expedition, haa completed the ftrat
airplane flight ever made over the
heart of the St. Eliaa range on the
Alaska-Canada border, and ha re
corded on hla photographic platea an
astounding number of hitherto un
known glaclera and peak. The auc
eeteful photographic flight, which
followed reconnaissance flight a few
daya earlier, and which was one of
the major objectives of the expedition
was announced in a telegram from
the young explorer received at the
headquarters of the National Ologra
phic Society.
After gaining the first sight that
man has had of a group of huge
peaks on the eastern aide of the St.
Bits range, and the vast ice-choked
valleys between them. Mr. Washburn
telegraphed that in his opinion the
region represents "the last stronghold
of the Great Ice age on the North
American Continent."
The photographic flight was made
from Carcroaa. Yukon Territory, about
SO miles south of White Horse, which
became a world famous date-line 38
years ago. during the Klondike gold
rush. After another photographic
flight from Carcross, Mr. Washburn
said In his telegram, the expedition
will dismiss its airplanes and settle
down temporarily at its base camp on
a huge newly discovered glacter, 130
miles west of the town. From this
camp the party will begin Ita ground
work of exploration and mapping to
which it will devote about two and a
half months.
Dog Team to Camp by Plane
While Mr. Waeliburn has been eon
ducting the reconnolasance and,
photographic flights, over the tangle
of mountains In the southwestern
corner of Yukon Territory, the other
members of the party have been
"ferrying" supplies and even dog
team to the glacier-borne base camp
by an airplane equipped with ski run
' ners. On the day Mr. Washburn's as
sociates and the first load of supplies
were taken to the camp, the tempera
ture there was 45 degrees below zero.
The ground work of the expedition
will be concentrated to a considerable
extent on the territory surrounding
Mt. Hubbard; but the party also pro
bably will attempt to push Its way on

foot and by dog team, over the St.
Ellas range to the Pacific coast.
Mr. Wsshburn's detailed report of
his latest flight follows:
"Pilot Bob Randall, Bab Bates, and
I have Just returned after making
successfully the first flight across the
very heart of the St. Ellas range. The
trip was accomplished at an altitude
of slightly over 18,000 feet in a Fatr
ohlld monoplane, and toolc seven
hours from Carero to Carcross. The
door waa removed from the plane for
photographic purposes, and the aver
sge temperature encountered was
about 18 degrees below zero. Five
below zero was the warmest tempera
ture all day. and the flight was com
menced at 2fl degrees below early In
the morning. Weather conditions were
perfect.
Will Man L'nexnTorenr nlarlrrs
"After flying across the maze of i
mountains between Carcross and the
Alseit Valley, we flew over three great
unexplored glaclera south of Mt. Hud
bard which the expedition Is plan
ntng to map during the next two
months on Its journey toward Yaicu
tat Bay. Circling to make photographs
over the glacial- waste souh of Mt
Hubbard, we flew west once more
nearly over the corner of Yukatat bay
to determine whether It win ne pos
sible to cross the range to the Pacific
side on foot while making our map.
We believe that we have discovered
both a safe and feasible route, altho
It involves some 80 miles of dog sledg
Injr from our present base.
Turning north we followed me
course of the gigantic Hubbard Gla
cier lor fifty miles to Mt. I)gan
(Until Mr. Washburn made the dis
covery a few days earlier, It waa not
known that Hubbard Olacler extend
ed more than 30 miles from the
coast). There we swung westward
again, crossing the vast expanse of
the upper Seward Olacler, and ootain-
lng the first photographs ever taken
of Mts. Cook, Vancouver. Logan, and
St. Ellas from this angle.
"At this point we attained our
maximum altitude of nearly 19,000
feet and had to descend on account
of lack of oxygen and the Intense
cold.
"After completing our photographs
of Mt. St. Ellas, we circled to the cast
around the northern end of Mt. Lo
gan, the most colossal mountain mass
I have ever seen in my life. Almost
brushing our wing tips on King Peak,
we passed over the Ogllvle Glacier up
which the historic ascent of Mt.
Logrn waa made In 1035.
"We had hoped to be able to relum
by way of Kluane Lake and Mt. Lu
cauls, but here we encountered such
a heavy northeast gale that we were
scarcely able to make any progress at
all In that direction. After ten min
utes of fruitlessly bucking this wind.
we descended to warmer and less tur
bulent air at 13,000 feet and made
our way back to the base camp east
of Mt. Hubbard, where a landing was
made about 1:30 o'clock In the uftei
noon. Alter lunch there and a aho.t
flight t Kluane for our dog team,
which was carried fifty miles to camp
In the airplane, we took off again
reaching Carcross Just after sunset.
Bates acted as recorder while I took
the photographs. The faultless pilot
lng of Randall and the perfect opera
tlon of our Falrchlld camera and
plane made possible a flight which
with another that we plan for the
near future. Is one of the most im
portant features of our expedition
The number of unknown glaciers and
peaka which we have seen snd photo
graphed on our first two flights Is
almost Inconceivable.

URGED FOR MAINE

(Continued from Psge One)
"Just an Insurance agent trying to
build up business."
"You may recall," MacGrath wrote,
"that It was at my suggestion and re
quest that James Roosevelt spoke In
Bath, Me., last October (during the
presidential campaign) after our
state election here, and I may say
that this part of our campaign In
Maine aroused considerable Interest
and support for the president, not
only In the city of Bath, but through
out the state and we were almost
able to carry the city of Bath for the
president which normally has been a
republican stronghold for years."
The letter pointed out that the
Bath company was then building
one destroyer and waa bidding on two
more.
Awarded Contracts
Previously W. S. Newell, president
of the company, had testified he was
awarded two destroyer Jobs a few
weeks after the date of the Mac
Orath letter. He did not mention the
Insurance agent as having any con
nection with the award.
A second MacGrath letter, this one
directed to Th I bail It on July 31, 1033,
said:
"I took up the matter of allotting
to the Bath Iron works contracts for
the two destroyers, with the naval
authorities while I was In Washing
ton the week before last.
"I also wired the president direct
ly and also Claude A- Swanson, sec
retary to the navy, urging that all
possible consideration be given to
your bids and the placing of these
contracts with the Bath Iron works."
Meanwhile, Eddie Rlckcnbacker,
World war flying ace, declined an
Invitation to appear before the com
mittee to testify on legislation to
strengthen the army air corps. He
expressed the opinion another trip to
Washington would be fruitless.
Nye made 4ils statement after evi
dence had been Introduced by the
committee that W. S. Newell, presi
dent of Bath (Maine) Iron Works
corporation, had supplied newspapers
with war news clippings.
