The bearded adventurers sailed quietly into this port yesterday to accomplish in reverse the feat which explorers of a bygone era had attempted unsuccessfully in their search for the northwest cut to the fabled riches of the Orient. Only once in history has the east- to -west passage been by R'oald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, and five other men who crossed the North Atlantic in 1903 and emerged into the Pacific three years later.

During most of the time since they left the west coast hi June, 1940, the mounties' only contact with the.

outside world was by radio. Though they carried a goodly of provisions when they set out they were forced to f6r- age for their food during their lonely wanderings among the ice floes partly on seals and fish for subsistence. Commander of the crew was Sergeant Henry Larsen, a Danish seaman who was active in the northern trading business before he. joined the mounted police. Larsen was described by veteran northern mariners as "the best Arctic skipper alive." Their vessel, the St.

Roch, was built in 1928 in Vancouver and most of the time since then has been used for carrying supplies to outlying R.C.M.P posts and to scattered settlers in the far north.

Seeking To Eliminate Friction" Between President and Congress WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 MO Senator Downey (D-Calif) assumed the-leadership today in an unprecedented congressional effort to eliminate friction between the President and Congress in the prosecution of the war.

The Californian a program in which the President' would represented in both branches of Congress by special legislative cabinet members authorized to speak for the executive. Emphasizing that this was a personal view, Downey, appointed yesterday as chairman of a special military affairs sub-committee, told reporters the committee would explore every avenue offering a possibility of greater co-operation. The sub-committee was appointed by Chairman Reynolds (D-NC) after the full military committee approved Downey's resolution directing a full and complete investigation and study to determine the most effective means of creating greater unity and co-operation between Congress and the executive branch. Other members of the sub-committee are Senators Hill (D-Okla) Thomas (D-Utah) and Lodge (R- Mass). Another Republican is to be appointed.

Downey said much of the friction and delay attending consideration of anti-inflation, tax and other legislation might be eliminated by a set-up in which presidential spokesmen would work directly between government departments and congressmen and offer a means of exchanging views. "Certainly In this war effort we can safely assume the objectives-of the President and Congress are identical," Downey told an interviewer. "The important thing is to work put a governmental mechanism by which means objectives can be obtained with a minimum of friction." Downey said he had In mind three legislative cabinet members in- each branch of Congress, possibly picked from among congressmen to serve as official spokesmen and contact men. While the majority leader usually is regarded as an administration spokesman, Downey asserted that his many duties and responsibilities do not allow him the time for constant consultation with the President and the departments on matters of policy, especially in the early stages.
