ALASKANS ON LOOKOUT FOR JIM MATTERN NOME, Alaska, June 12.—(U.P.)—The local airport here buzzed with excited people today as the time approached for the expected arrival of James Mattern, who is attempting to circle the globe in his speedy Lockheed cabin monoplane.

When informed the flyer was thought to have left Khabarovsk, on the Siberian coast, for his long over-water flight to Nome, 2409 miles away, Mrs. Mattern said she is more concerned about his safety on this hop than anyon ehe has undertaken on the trip.
