The Democratic high 17, command concentrated all efforts today on a drive to adjourn Congress next week, immediately predictions were heard that several major bills, Including the utilities measure for which the administration has fought strenuously, may be scrapped for this session.

Crosson, Post's Alaskan friend and an aviator too, and Robert Oleason, radio operator, flew over the Endicott mountains and through fog across the tundra wastes yesterday to take the bodies back to civilization. It was Crosson, veteran of unnumbered Alaskan flights, who bade them goodbye at Fairbanks nnd warned them against the hazards of the fog at Point Barrow. The broken remains of Post and Rogers, whose names were throughout the world, had lain In a warehouse behind the Presbyterian mission hospital at Barrow on the ice-strewn arctic shore after Dr. Grlest, the mission surgeon, and Charles Brower, grizzled "king of the arcjlc," prepared them for the Journey home. Brower was the man whom Rogers said he was flying to Barrow to visit.

For 51 years. Brower has op- crated a whaling station and trading post on the lonely, northernmost tip Alaska. How Plane Crashed Post's pontoon-equipped ship, in which the celebrated little Oklahoma globe glrdler and the world famous actor, humorist and philosopher were on a leisurely vacation jaunt, lay in fragments on the bank of a shallow, stream 16 miles south of Barrow.

The pair had landed on the Inlet to ask directions to Point Barrow.

Eskimos with whom Post talked after landing, said the ship lifted 50 or 60 feet Into the air and the 850- horsepower motor misfired. The plane fell off on one wing, then ploughed nose first Into the tundra. A wing struck the ground and ripped off, the pontoons tore into the earth and the heavy motor broke from its supports and Jammed back upon the flyer and his companion.

PARIS, Aug 17 W) Premier Mussolini of Italy held up the three-power conference seeking a way out of his dispute with Ethiopia while he pondered a Franco- British demand for a showdown A forenoon meeting of the Italian, French and British conferees was postponed while the lean- faced Baron Pompeo Alolsl waited beside the telephone for Duce's answer. War or peace remained as much a problem as ever since the British and French said they were not certain Just what Italy wants. Italian quarters said Mussolini's position is clear: He intends to dominate Ethiopia and is preparing to do so by force; that it is up to France anfl Great Britain to suggest an alternative if they object to his methods. Premier Laval of France and Anthony Eden of Great. Britain nevertheless induced Alolsl to put the question of showing Italy's full hand up to his chief last night.

They awaited II Duce's reply before talking further. On another front of the struggle to avert war In Ethiopia, the Italo- Ethloplan conciliation commission, revived by League of Nations decree, decided to meet Monday it was expected Nicholas Politis of Greece would be named as the fifth arbitrator. The French and British conferees had from Emperor Halle Selassie an offer of economic concessions coupled with a firm stand against military occupation. Eden, Great Britain's minister for League affairs, particularly was insistent on pinning Italy down on a clear-cut statement of what II Duce means by "general political Influence" over Ethiopia before the English emissary and Laval consult the Emperor. As for Halle Selassie, spokesmen for the conferees said he was withholding his 'maximum concessions until he hears Mussolini's minimum demands.
