TRIO OF NOBILE CREW REPORTED , FOUNDRY SHIP Hunters Tell of Hobby Picking Up Stranded i Men From Ice. HIT BY SEVERE STORM Radio Reports Gales Add to Suffering; Float Nearer Doom. BY ERIK BERNDSEN United Press Special Correspondent KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June 15.—Three members of the crew of the lost dirigible Italia, stranded for three weeks in the bitterly cold Arctic wastes, have been saved according to an unconfirmed story hunters told today when they boarded the steamer Braganza off Northeastland. The three, including Fenn Malrngren, were rescued by a relief expedition sent out by the Norwegian steamer Hobby and now are aboard that craft. The hunters did not know exactly where the trio had been picked up.

Storm Hits Nobile A heavy southwest storm Thursday night hit the little encampment on the Arctic ice in which six of the crew of the polar dirigible Italia are waiting rescue, Gen. Umberto Nobile, the Italia’s commander, radioed the supply ship Citta Di Milano today. What effect the storm had on the Crew of the silken tent, painted red to attract attention of possible airplane rescuers, in which they are taking refuge, Nobile's first message did not say. Nobile said that the general drift of the big ice block on which the tent is pitched continued to be eastward, and was rapid. That was an ominous sign, as such blocks with progressively increasing speed drift toward warm water, where they break up. Reports Crew Recovering

Nobile, who was injured when the Italia’s gondola crashed to the ice, was recovering, he added, and other members of the crew who were injured were out of danger. The Braganza reached Northeastland Thursday night. As the rugged steamer,, chartered by General Umberto Nobile’s own government, cruised into the ice dotted waters the huntsmen were taken aboard. Hunters Give Story ' They immediately told the gratifying news that the Hobby party had rescued three of the sixteen men who had made the adventurous and disastrous tour over the North Pole the latter part of May. It was presumed here that the three were those who split from General Nobile’s immediate party after that group of nine had been left stranded on an ice block when the big dirigible suddenly sank and scrapped off one gondola. Started Out on Foot Nobile in official advices had told of how three members of his group were working thei# way toward North Cape, and his later messages said he had heard no word from them since they left his group, May 30. v Suffer Cold, Hunger In the party that left Nobile were Fenn Malmgren, Capt. Filippo Zappi and Capt. Adalberto Mariano. If the story of the huntsmen is found true that will leave thirteen men still to be accounted for. Six are in the pgrty with Nobile now huddling about a silken red tent on floating ice, waiting for rescue and suffering from cold, exposure and hunger. Seven others remained with the dirigible when it was blown eastward after its sudden descent, in which the gondola carrying the nine members was broken. They have not been heard from Since the disaster on May 25.

Gold Paving By NEA Service LONDON. June 15.—The old song about Patrick, son Os Erin, who hastened to America because “the streets were paved with gold,’’ can be sung In truth in many parts of the world. In the Russian town of Swerdlovsk, for instance, huge blocks of jasper, covered with cracked green malachite, topaz and jade, were laid as a road foundation. This street was valued at nearly $2,500,000 and was bought for SBO. In Kimberly, South Africa, when the town had recovered from its first diamond boom, the streets were paved with blue clay. It didn’t remain on the streets long, however, for it gave up nearly $5,000,000 worth of diamonds.

Formalities are Brief Mrs. Coolidge, acting upon advice of her physicians remained aboard the train to be carried within four miles of Cedar Island Lodge, the site of the summer White House. She was to complete the final stage of the journey to her summer home by motor car. Several thousand citizens of northern Wisconsin, from communities in northern Wisconsin, jammed the small station. Their greeting first was clamorous, but when President Coolidge stepped to the platform alone, the crowds’ cheering dimmed perceptibly in deference to Mrs. Coolidge. The formalities at the station were brief and the automobile parade through Superior soon was under way. One Stop Is Made
