Heat and soft ice halted delivery to nine American scientists and several U. S. airmen on a floating ice island near the North Pole. Two Air Force C47s circled the island for 12 hours, refueled at Barrow, then returned to Ladd AFB. Capt. James H. Graham Jr. and Lt. Lloyd S. Kurth reported the ice strip was too soft for a landing.
