MOSCOW. Jan. 11.-Soviet authorities hinted today a submarine expedition to the North Pole was being considered as the next step toward establishing regular airplane service from Russia over the pole to the United States.
The cruise in exploration under the Arctic ice was suggested recently in the official newspaper of the commissariat of the machine building industry in much the same manner as the Soviet flight to the Pole first was suggested early this year.
Publication of the article in the official journal was taken by some foreigners as an indication that a submarine already may be under construction for the adventure.
