SAFE ON THE ICE
OVERDUE SOVIET AIR PARTY (Received May 28, 9 a.m.) MOSCOW, May 27. Mazuruk, the air pilot en route to the Polar meteorological station with six men and supplies, for whom there was anxiety as he was overdue, is reported safe less than a degree from the North Pole. Professor Otto Schmidt, the expedition leader, whose camp was 50 miles away, received a wireless message from Mazuruk: "We are sitting beyond the Pole within the zone of the radio beacon. The plane is not damaged and the crew is unhurt. The battery is exhausted. The ice floe is bearing strongly."
