The pilot’s cockpit is rigged for side- by-side dual control which for this flight is partially filled with fuel tanks. contains also two radio sending sets, one for the com- merelal short wave sending. Ahrenberg Has Flown 10 Years. Capt. Ahrenberg, who has been fly- ing for 10 vears, is 40 vears old and in addition to his abilities as a pilot he holds a master's certificate in the Swedish merchant marine. He was born at Kalmar in the province of Smaaland on September 27. 1889. and went to sea as a youth. He left the sea for the air in 1919 and received his first pilot's certificate on March 13 of that year. He then started his carecr as a pilot with the naval air service of Sweden. In 1924 he joined the staff of the| Swedish aerotransport, Sweden's na- tional commercial air transport com- pany. and was appointed director of the Bulitofta Airdrome. near Malmos, in Southern Sweden. Two years later he was transferred to Stockholm. and in addition to his duties as head of the airdrome there, took charge of the civilian flying school of an affilinted company. Capt. Ahrenberg is perhaps the best known pilot in Sweden. In 1927 and 1928 he made two flights around Sweder. in the interests of commercial aviation During these tours, which were made in all kinds of weather, he flew more than 63,000 miles, made more than 8000 landings and take-offs, and carried 18.000 passengers without accident or mishap. A great many of the towns he visited were poorly equipped for landing, and in some of the villages the inhabitants had never before seen a plane, The Junkers seaplane was finished about a month ago at the factory of the Junkers Corporation in Dessau, Germany, and Capt. Ahrenberg flew it to Sweden, where he put both the plane and himself through a rigid series of flight tests. among them a “blind” fly- ing test more severe than any of the other transatlantic fiyers made prior 1o their take-offs. Tests Blind Flying Ability. He inclosed the pilot’s cockpit en- | tirely with white sheeting, through which there was no visibility, ana ihen | Jaid out a triangular course near Stockholm. Over this course he flew the plane, using his instruments ex- clusively and alighted on the water close to his take-off point. The importance of the flight as & trail blazer for the air mail is empha- sized by the fact that the Sverige has been officially commissioned as a mail plane by the Swedish post office and Capt. Ahrenberg will bring with him about 55 pounds of letters. Letters | have been registered with stamps at the Tate of 20 crowns, approximately $4.50, for 10 grams of weight or fraction thereof. ‘The Danish government has sent an expert mechanic to Ivigut to aid the | fiyers when they arrive there in any minor adjustments of their plane or motor, and another Dane, Helge Bang- sted, an author, will meet the fiyers at the Greenland station. The natives of Greenland are preparing huge bon- fires to serve as beacons along the coast. ‘The Norwegian government has ar- ranged for the radio station at Bergen to send aviators weather reports at frequent intervals during the first part | of the voyage.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Star, MONTREAL, Quebec, June 8.—Ice| in the Strait of Belle Isle may interfere | with the transatiantic flight of the Swedish plane Sverige from Stockholm to New York, as it has not been possible as yet to lay down an emergency sup- Ply of benzol at Battle Harbor. Arrangements werc. made by the Swedish consul in Montreal, Magnus | Clarholm, for two drums of this fuel 10 be delivered at Battle Harbor by the trading steamer Sagona, but the ship has not yet been able to navigate the Strait of Belle Isle because of exten- | sive ice fields Reports from Battle Harbor intimate ! that the Sagona has already made three | unsuccessful attempts to navigate the strait this year, and it would seem that yet another will meet with a stmi- | lar result. The Swedish consul general cabled his foreign office today advising that | the benzol might not be landed at Bat- tle Harbor for several days. It is hoped, however, that it will not | be necessary to descend on the Labrador coast, and that it will be possible to fly direct to Anticosti Island, from the southern tip of Greenland. As an added precaution, one drum of benzol has been delivered at Natasliquan. on the north shore of the Gulf of St. La: rence, and immediately north of Anti costi a5 a forced landing may become necessary in that vicinity, if strong headwinds are encountered The principal base in Canada will be at Lake Plantin in Anticosti Island and about 12 miles from Ellis Bay. Fiv drums of fuel have been transported to the most _favorable locality on the lake. The officers of the Anticosti Corpora- tion have been requested to keep watch for the Swedish aviafors. No difficulty should be encountered in landing at Anticosti, as the lake is 2 miles long and 34 of a mile wide, while the fiyers have been provided with a large scale map of the island and an aerial photograph of the country sur- rounding the lake.

PRESIDENT HAPS SUMMER T HERE Desire to Get Farm Relief in Operation Chief Reason for Plans. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Hoover has mapped out for busy Summer, and it was because of this that he cast aside all ideas he may have had earlier regarding an extended vacation trip and decided to remain close to his desk, except for week end excursions, during the more than two months Congress will recess. It has been learned from an author- | itative source that his principal reason for devoting his time and attention to his work during this period is his | earnest desire to get properly started | in motfon the machinery provided for in the farm relief bill, about to be en- acted in law, so as to assure assistance to the American agriculturist without | turther delay. | Most important in this connection is the appointing of the nine persons to comprise the Federal Farm Board created by the farm relief bill and | which is to be one of the most im- portant bodies functioning under the | Federal Government, according to_his estimation of its tasks. For tnis rea- son, the President was represented yes teraay as being very mindful of the importance attached to the personnel | of this board. He realizes that the | greatest care must be exercised in se- lecting those who are to serve on this | body, at a salary of $12,000, and who | are expected to successfully cope with the farm probiem. Best Men Wanted. He wants the best men possible, and he has indicated that he 15 gong 1 | comb the country 1ar and wiae befor arnving at conclusions. e has siaried alreaqy casting about for available material and has before him at this| early aate a score or more names of persons for consideration. There are other phases of the farm relief bill which Mr. Hoover looks upon as vitally important trom the admini- station viewpoint and which he there tore wants personally to direct. Among these are tne part the Deparument oi Agricuiture is to play in putung into eftect the rellef measures, as well as the ability of the Treasury Department to have available, when the time comes, the $500,000,000 o be usesd by the Federal Farm Board in the purchase { of crops untll it can dispose of them and storage. When this task is completed and other work incident to the farm-relief bill are out of the way, At least for the moment, the President will then turn his undivided attention to completing the reorganization of the foreign service of the United States. His plan is said to call for no greaily sweeping change in personnel, but he has decided 1o make some shifts as well as inject some new blood into this important govern- mental service. He has been studying this problem from time to time since be- | coming President, but has put off reach- ing conclusions, with the exception of the appointment of Gen. Charles G | Dawes to the post at the Court of St James, until the time arrived when he | had Congress off his hands | “Among the major appointments in ) the service the President will make in | clude the filling of the vacancy in th embassy at Paris caused by the recent { death of Myron T.

CARAVAN IS LOOTED. MEXICO CITY, June 8 (&) —Twenty men this evening stopped 15 automobil and a molorbus about 30 miles from |° the city on the road to Puebla and de- manded one peso (about 50 cents) from each of the 75 passengers. Some of the | passengers, who were not forced to leave the cars, were so frightened that they gave the bandits all the pesos they had It was said that no Americans were among them, of disarmament.” In the course of a brief summary of | the purposes of the administration that | took office today, he referred to the ap- | pointment of Foreign Minister Hender- son. He then said, “In view of the | overshadowing importance of the prob- | lem of disarmament and of the need for friendly discussion and agreement | between the United States and other powers with ourselves, I hope to be able to pay a short visit to Geneva at the | | opening of the next meeting of the As- sembly of the League of Nations.” | This statement seemed to bear out | press predictions that the new premier, | who in his last government held the | portfolio of foreign affairs, still intends | o devote much of his attention to for- | eign affairs. i Mr. MacDonald asserted that his gov- | ernment would work for peace in in- | dustry in home affairs and for peace abroad. J. H. Thomas, he said, will tackle his task of relief of unemployment “not only by relief works, but by plans di- rected by the idea of national recon- | struction. HELD IN TORSO DEATH.

Woman in New York City Race. NEW YORK, June 8 (#).—Delegates of the Socialist-Labor party tonight se- ected Mrs. Olive M. Johnson as_the party's candidate for mayor next Fall. Mrs. Johnson is editor of a magazine called Weekly People, | sentation in the House of Commons. Lloyd George, leader of the party in the House of Commons, and Sir Her- bert Samuel, organizer outside. have both said, “No compact with Labor." | It is clear Mr, Baldwin has assumed that Liberals and Labor will work to- gether, In any case, the Liberals hold | the balance of power. Lloyd George Smiling. King George is fll. but no so ill he cannot, conduet the work in the change | of government, No party, not even a Labor party, will wish to embarrass im. | 1 can see the one political genius in | England smiling now, Lloyd George. | He holds the situation in his hands. He can vote with the Conservatives or | with Labor. How will he go? Labor hates him, but all men love | power, and MacDonald will hold out the olive branch of peace to Lloyd| George. | My prophecies have come true. ‘The | Liberals have shared in the increase | with Labor over Conservatives. but have | not altered their proportionate repre- They are where they were. The Labor vote has not eaten into Conservative representation on the whole. but it has steadily destroyed | Liberal representation. Let me say this | for the members of the Labor party: Labor Loyal to Crown. They are loyal to the Crown. They are not enemies of the Royal House. There are a few extremists, but they count for nothing in the general make- up of the Labor party. ‘The British workingman will never go bolshevik. Mrs. Philip Snowden, whose husband was chancellor of the exchequer in Ramsay MacDonald’s government (apd an able and strong chancellor he Was), went to Rusisa with a number of Labor members. She came back and stated that bolshevism in Russia was not for her party, The workmen in a.u:m cot not work have added to it vote was given to women I accepted it | and was loyal to it, but I would not | Did not Baldwin see that when the | tide was running against him those votes would be added to the majority of | the Labor party? | While the dole exists, England will | never recover her old dominating posi- tion in the markets of the world. Who ! is responsible for the dole? = Lloyd George. | 1t Baldwin had taken it off he would | have been overwhelmingly defeated, and Ramsay MacDonald would have put it | on_again. | T woud have given the dole during the war, but I would not have made it | an annual national obligation. The British workmen taught the world to | manufacture and the world is taking possession of British labor, all on ac- count of the dole. Dole Destroys Workers' Pride. What does it do? It destroys the pride the British workman in his | work. Truth is, if we had one big man in political life in England he would have taken his own career and the! career of his party in his hands and ! done away with the dole. Of course | he would have been defeated over- whelmingly. but the British citizens have common sense and good judgment, | and in the end they would have brought the prime minister and his party back | into power. As it is, things commercial | and industrial in England are not good. | I had a Yorkshire private secretary, a woman. She told me that in the fish- ing villages of Yorkshire the fishermen had ceased to fish because they could | get three-quarters as much from the | dole. | The servant problem in England is serious because the woman servants give up their posts and go into declining industries to get the dole. From the first T have hated the dole. 1t is degrading to the British working man. (Copyright, 1929, by North paper American News- Alliance.) Rivcs ol RECEIVED HERE Weller’s Pharmacy—S8th & Eye Sts.
