GRAF ZEPPELIN TO SOAR OVER POLAR REGIONS Six Weeks to Be Taken in Aerial Survey Set for Next Spring. By Fcience {Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Soundings of the water below, and of the air above with automatic radioequipped balloons, will be part of the program of scientific observations to be made by the Graf Zeppelin when It flies over the north polar regions next spring. The flight Is to be made under the auspices of the International Society for Arctic research by Aircraft, generally known as Aeroarctic. According to present plans, the expedition will start on April 1, from Tromso, Norway, the European base, and is expected to take a total of six weeks. After a preliminary fight to Spitzbergen, to acquaint the scientific staff with life on an airship, the first long flight will be made, skirting Spitzbergen on the southwest, across the Arctic ocean between Greenland and the pole to Beaufort sea, thence across Alaska to Fairbanks, where a mooring mast, and full equipment for handling an airship will be ready. A mooring mast also is provided at Tromso. Area Unexplored The next flight will be over the great unexplored area between Alaska and the pole; from Fairbanks northwest, across Trangoll Island, then north to within 200 miles of the pole and back to Alaska, paralleling part of the first flight. The third flight will be to return to Tromso by way of Northern Land and Franz Josef Land. As Northern Land represents a large unexplored area, the ship will cruise around over it. If feasible, a party will be landed, with sledges and equipment, and left to return to civilization over the ice. In adition to the upper air observations, and the oceanographic research, investigations will be made on the electricity of the atmosphere, on the magnetism of the earth and In meteorology. Leader Is Veteran Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, veteran Arctic explorer, will be the head of the expedition, while Dr. Harold U. Sverdrup will be second. Captain E, A. Lehmann, who took the Graf Zeppelin back to Germany after its last visit to America, will command the ship. The scientific staff will number twelve, while a crew of thirty-five will be carried. As in former trips, the engines of the ship will burn gas, a supply of which is being provided at Tromso and Fairbanks. This gas consists largely of ethane and propane, two compounds of hydrogen and carbon. The expedition really is a reconnaisance one, Dr. Bleistein emphasized. It will determine the feasibility of exploration by airship, and of landing parties on the ice. Should it prove successful, it doubtless will be the forerunner of future Arctic flights, on still larger airships, thus exploring thoroughly all the Arctic regions in a far more complete manner than is possible on the ground.

WOMAN CHASES PURSE-GRABBER Maintains Clutch on Coat for Short Distance. Jumping from her automobile Tuesday night, Mrs. Ruth Parker of 909 East Eleventh street, pursued a man she claims seized her purse and hung on to his coat. Dragged across the street and behind buildings, she maintained her grip until the man entered a yard of 639 East Market street, where it is alleged he roomed. He denied having her purse. Mrs. Parker appealed to police who found the man and his wife had decamped hurriedly from their rooms at the market street address. Mrs. Parker was seeking an address on Noble street and stopped at North and Noble streets to ask directions from a male pedestrian She opened the car door and the man, after giving directions, reached into the car and ran with
