A dramatised account of the Andrge Polar Expedition by TIM ROSE PRICE
In 1930, the crew of the sailing vessel the ' Bratvaag' discovered the death camp of the Swedish explorers who 33 years before had set out to be the first men to reach the North Pole by means of a hydrogen-filled balloon. Among the finds at the death camp was the diary of Salomon August Andree - a personal record of the expedition's struggle for survival on the ice of the Polar Sea.

Direct Elections:
Commitment and Reality Two months from now, for the first time in the history of the United Kingdom, the British people will be asked to vote in international elections. The direct elections to the European Parliament on 7 June will mark a constitutional water-shed; and as the campaign develops, the debate in this country will probably centre on whether Westminster's sovereignty will be diminished by the existence of the European Assembly. But how important are these elections for the future direction of the EEC itself?
John Tusa chairs a discussion between contributors from across the European political spectrum.
