In the morning the three aviators went to Santander to express their thanks to the civil governor of the Pprovince. The governor felt much as the rest of this neighborhood, highly pleased that the French fiyers had picked out this part of Spain to land upon after erossing the Atlantic. Crowds cheered them as they drove through the streets of Santander. Hun- dreds of automobilists and pedestrians visited the Yellow Bird on the beach all during the day. ‘The aviators had first intended to fiy on to Paris late this afternoon, and the fank was filled with gasoline for a start, but the ‘work on the carburetor took longer than had been expected, and they decided to: postpone their de- parture, Comillas could not let the occasion #lip by without a celebration, and as there was not time to organize a formai ope last night, it was decided to have one tonight. The decision was made as #00n as the fiyers postponed their home- ward hop. Schreiber was invited along with the three aviators, who have reconciled themselves to his presence and permit him to tag along as they go from one Ovation to another. Jotti said that they would take him on to Paris in the airplane, put him up #t the hotel of M. Lotti, senior, let him share in whatever festivities awaited them and when all was over they would #end him home. Pilot Confident of Success. Pilot Assolant, declared that he had never had a moment’s doubt that he would succeed in the crossing once he had left the American coast. “But {t :d‘“ a terribly hard trip,” he acknowl- iged. “When we had reached the coast of Europe, after having gone through a most violent tempest, I thought by fol- Jowing the shore we would be able to get to Biarritz, refuel there and go on to Paris. But a little while before arriv- ing here I noticed the gasoline was go- ing to run out before we could get to France and happily I found this fine beach below me. “I am satisfied with the trip. Nat- urally we would have been happy to have reached Paris without a stop, but, i believe me, it would have been impossi- ble last night in any case for we would | have found ourselves in the center of a | Qepression. That would have been fatal. I am content with the trip. I never doubted for a moment that it would bring us into port. In spite of terrible | blows of wind and sbme mighty rough bumps, I never once had the impres- sion the machine would fail, even in the slightest degree.” Not long after discovering the un- ‘welcome extra passenger, Lotti said that the aviators were forced to go above the clouds. “During the early part of the night there was thick fog and violent rain squalls for four hours, dur- ing which we had to make a real fight to hold to our course and there were times when it seemed we were not far from a disaster. But after four hours of bucking the worst sort of weather, the depression passed and the night sky cleared. Lefevre was then able to eaiculate our latitude again, We turned southward somewhat and at 7 p.m. the coast of Portugal showed up shead.” Radiator Afmost Dry, Tt appeared that several varts of the motor needed tinkering after its long strain of the transatiantic fiight. A small leak was stopped in the radiator, which had been practically dry on land- 2. Reams of congratulatory telegrams pour in on the aviators and the tele- phones are in constant use. PARIS PLANS BIG WELCOME. | FEa ' Police Prepared for Huge Crowd to Greet Airmen. LE BOURGET, Prance, June 15 (#). ~Paris, ter standing on tiptoe for a second day, tonight was again forced to postpone its welcome to the first Frenchmen to cross the North Atlantic air. A large Saturday crowd had swarmed through the gates of the airfleld this atternoon hoping to see the Yellow Bird arrive from Santander, as anoth- er crowd had waited the previous eve- ning for its arrival from Old Orchard. At 6 o'clock it was announced that the flight had been postponed -until tomorrow and in & very few minutes the crowd ‘that had been collecting for hours had entirely dispersed. The police, expecting even larger erowds, since tomorrow is Sunday, have made elaborate arrangements to keep the people in order. LABOR GROUP FAVORS WAGE SURVEY OFFER Votes to Accept Outside Aid for Conducting Study of Living Costs. By the Associated Press GENEVA, June 15.—After a lively fiscussion, the governing body of the international labor organization decided by nine votes to seven to accept in principle the offer of Edward A. Filene ©of Boston to find $25,000 for an investi- gation concerning the costs of living and the level of real wages in different countries. The offer, the outcome of an inquiry by Henry Ford, who desired to place his employes in all countries on the same basis, is to be considered by a committee of three representing the governments, employes and workers groups in the organization to determine whether any unacceptable conditions are attached. Arvid Thorberg, Swedish workers delegate on the governing body, Jected to lceerunce of gifts from pri- vate individuals. He was lur by Forbes Watson, British employer dele- ¢ Eate, who sald that if money was be given, let it be given to the inter- national branch office at Washington to help bring the United States into the organization. Albert Thomas, director of the labor office, retorted that the League of Na- tions showed no such reserve and that its health section had received large sums from the Rockefeller Foundation.

By the Associated Press. —Ishbel Macdonald, who devotes her business hours to social work in Lon- don's east end slums and the rest of her time to making her father com- fortable in the austerity of No. 10 Downing street, regrets leaving the Prime Minister’s little country home, the Hillocks. She will go to the official residence of British premiers in London next week to take up her duties as official hostess for her father in July. ‘While Mr. Macdonald was making his preparations to receive Charles G. Dawes, new American Ambassador, the 26-year-old daughter spent hours in her little garden shack which she calls “Wendy House.” *“T'0o soon, it seems, T shall be leaving this peaceful place to return to London next week,” Ishbel said today. “We move to No. 10 early in July. Sir James Barrie might think this too solid for Wendy House, but it is Wendy House to me. In it I can give ;fln to little flights of imagination and ancy.” PLANE TAKES FAVE TO TINY SEAPORT Comillas, Spain, Becomes Fa- mous as Haven of the Yellow Bird. “The Yellow Bird has added the village of Comillas to Ver-Sur-Mer, Eisleben and Llanelly as out-of-the- way places brought into the spotlight of world news by the landing of trans- atlantic airplanes from America,” says a bulletin from the National Geo- graphic Soclety. * “Santander shares fame with Comil- las, for it was to that important coastal town of Northern Spain that the fiyers were taken by automobile after their landing, and it was from Santander that the telegraphic news of the com- pletion of the transocean flight sped out to the world. “‘Comillas lies 25 or 30 miles west of Santander along a rugged coast washed by the waters of the Bay of Biscay. It is a village of only 2,700 inhabitants, and its tiny port can accommodate only the fishing smacks and small ore-carry- ing boats that ply the local waters. All along this northern coast of Spain are mountains and rugged hills, many of which project into the sea, forming little hill-girt bays and coves. Some of the small bays have been aimost filled with sand. It was on such a sand-filled little bay near Comillas— Oyambre Beach—that the Yellow Bird came to earth. Yacht Race Ended There. “By & strange coincidence, the fiyers, in landing in the vicinity of Santander, terminated their flight near a city of a transatlantic contest in speed and navigation. In 1928 the iy ational be the ter- minus for similar races starting at Bou ;qmnup'dner" England. nder’s port opens off the Bay of Biscay, 90 miles west of the better known resort of San Sebastian, and 120 miles west of Biarritz. Although Span- iards throng to its beaches to escape Madrid’s Summer heat, Santander is little known abroad. _ Protected from Sea. “The town is progressive, modern, prosperous and therefore is not sought out by tourists in search of ancient landmarks. However, between a sun- scorched, crumbling cathedral and a sun-warmed sandy beach, the Spaniards prefer the beach. . sea. It has been built deep within the harbor behind a mountainous peninsula which shelters the homes of 77,000 Santander dwellers from Bay of Biscay storms. It consists of Pueblo Alta, with an undistinguished cathedral rearing its head, and Pueblo Baja, where liners and coastal steamers land their passengers, and freight boats take on red Camargo iron ore for Britain's blast furnaces. Santander takes a leading place among the north coast ports shipping cre from the many Spanish mines in the Asturian Provinces, “Over the ridge that protects San- tander from storms lies the Sardinero, the favorite playa or beach—a long, ‘warm of reddish-yellow sand em- bracing a bright blue sea. Many costly villas look upon the Sardinero. “The citizens of Santander recently presented to the royal family of Spain a Summer palace, ‘La Magdalena,’ on a headland near the city. It has come to be recognized as one of the most de- lightful of the royal residences. In recognition of the Spanish King's love of sport the palace was equipped with ®» bathing beach, a yacht landing, tennis courts and a poio fleld.” ANNUAL BLA“NkET TOSSING FESTIVAL COMES TO END Point Barrow Celebrates Closing of ‘Whaling Season by Tradi- tional Event.

Should the Borah resolution be |adopted by the Senate, it was pointed out by its opponents last night, the | | effect would be not only to instruct the | finance committee, but also the Senate conferees on the tariff bill who will be | appointed to meet with conferees on the part of the House after the bill has passed the Senate. This, it was de- clared, was a high-handed and unheard- of procedure, which would be resenied by the House. The House bill, with its amendments to many schedules of the existing tariff law, would be before the conferees, but the action of the Senate on the Borah resolution might be con- strued as precluding any . consideration of the Houss schedules other than the agricultural and related schedules. The President has won his fight on the farm bill, which is now a law in ac- | cordance with his recommendations and | without the debenture clause advocated by the so-called Senate coalition. As matters now are shaping up, he is likely to win his way with regard to tariff revision and to have a “limited revision” such as he recommended in his message to_ Congress. ‘The Norris amendment to the tariff bill proposing the debenture clause will | not in the end prevail, it was declared last night. But the debenturites are pre- pared to make a strenuous fight for it. The Norris amendment differs some- what from the original debenture amendment to the farm bill in that it provides that debenture certificates may be presented to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury and he must pay them out of funds in the Treasury obtained from customs duties on imported goods at 98 cents on the $1.00. This change, he sald, is designed to prevent undue spec- ulation or manipulation which might prevent the benefits of the debenture | from being passed on to the farmers and bring about a gain merely by the speculators, May Name Board Soon. The President is expected to send to the Senate by Tuesday the names of eight members fo the Federal Farm Board. created under the new farm law. The Senate will be asked to con- firm them promptly. No disclosure has been made yet of of names of the Presi- dent’s appointees. It is likely however, that six of the members will be farmers and two of them will be men engaged in business related to farming, it was sald last night. A large number of men | have been recommended to the Presi- | dent_for appointment as members of this board. | The President will send to Congress within the next day or two an estimate from the Budget Bureau making ap- propriations for carrying out the pro- visions of the farm act. It will in- clude not only salaries for the members of the farm board, who are to receive $12,000 a year each, but also an ap- propriation for the $500,000,000 re- | volving fund authorized in the act. The President has been urged by Senator McNary, chairman of the committee on agriculture, who handled the bill in the Senate, to send in an estimate for the | entire $500,000,000, showing that the | administration stands ready to use the | law to the utmost in the interest of the farmer. It is understood, too, that the Secretary of, Agriculture, Mr. Hyde, | takes the same view. It iz unlikely that more than $200,000,000 will be required | this year, in carrying out the law, it | has been said. But if that is the case, | no more ti $200,000,000 will be ex- | pended whether the appropriation i imited to $200,000,000 or is fixed at $500,000,000. Whatever sum the ad- ministration recommends, however, will be granted, it was indicated last night. 'YOUNG'S SON WEDS. Father Rushes Through New York From Paris Parley to Reach Cleveland. By the Associated Press. Group in Berlin Plans Opposi- tion to Course Planned by World Congress. By the Associated Press BERLIN, who are fighting legislative protection of women in industry got in the first blow today against the rival interna- tional meeting by laying the fundations for creation of a new international woman’s organization. The sole pur- pose of the proposed new organization will be to oppose such protective legis- Jation throughout the world. Those favoring protection pursued s policy of watchful waiting. While the several hundred delegates assembled for the International Congress of the Suf- frage Alliance, opening on Monday. worked quietly on resolutions in closed committee meetings, a smaller but en- ergetic group of about 60 delegates from 14 countries held the first session of the open door council. They com- pleted analysis of the situation in vari- ous countries and planned to launch | their new international organization to- morrow. Belgian Woman Denounces Laws. Mme. H. Decraene of Belgium de- nounced the protection laws as “made by men for their own advantage under the guise of protection of the health and morals of women.” An American delegate, Miss Bertha C. Moller, a Chj- cago attorney, said, “In the Middle West of the United States we have already stopped this wave of restrictive legis- lation for women and any serious con- sideration of such laws as forbid night work for women or limit them to an eight-hour day.” Doris Stevens of New York, leader of the American delegation, described how “the National Woman's Party has been able to block passage of bills which | would further prevent women from working.” Plans New Societies, Tt was explained later that the new international organization will work through established societies in some countries and form new subsidiaries in others. A Prench delegate sald that the laws of her country prevent women from working at night where they com- pete with the occupations of men, but permit it in restaurants and bars, where | they add to the pleasure of men.

Members of the Board of Education declined an invita- tion of the Commissioners to sit with them while the school estimates were under consideration, in view of the board's agitation to have the school esti- mates forwarded to the Budget Bureau without revision. i The board, however, gave the school | authorities permission to confer with the Commissioners and advise them as to the relative importance of the items ‘which made up its budget. | | " Dr. Ballou Jater furnished the Com- missioners with a list of proposed proj- | ects which, in his opinion, it was said, | would not, jeopardize the school-expan- | sion program if delayed until the 1932 fiscal year.
