RUSSIANS MAROONED ON ICEFIELD
♦ FLOE CRACKED BY CYCLONE (Received February 2, 5.5 p.m.) MOSCOW, February 1. The North Pole meteorological expedition reports that a cyclone cracked the ice floe on which members of the expedition were drifting, marooning them on an icefield 300 yards long and 200 yards wide, and cutting them off from their bases and storehouse. A Moscow communique states that the fissure does not entail immediate danger, but relief for the scientists is to be expedited.
