By Associated Press

Cleveland, July 6.-The Will lard Dempsey fight pictures, taken at the ringside of the championship bout in Toledo Friday, were completely re- jected today by Maurice 5 Hague, chairman of the Ohi, board of moving picture cen sors.
 MT Hague was the only member of the board of three to review the picture and it is possible that the other two members of the board will vote to per init it being shown in Ohio. However, this is in doubt, as Mrs, Maude Murray Miller, a member of the board, declared tonight that 1t was entirely possible that she will reject the picture. The other member of the board, C. G. Williams, would not say how he would act.
 MT Hague declared that such human butchery should not be shown where our boys and girls may see it.

 When the super-Zeppelin arrived here she had only enough petrol to keep her moving ninety minutes long CT. Her crew. almost sIeepIess four and a half days, were weary almost to the point of exhaustion but happy at the successful completion of their epoch making trip. The return voyage will be started Tuesday at a.. m.
 Haggard, unshavcn, their eyes bloOd- shot from the IonE virgil and lines of care bitten deep into their faces, Ma ior G. H. scott, the commander, and his officers showed plainly the effects of the anxious hours through which they lived yesterday while they were cruising over the far reaches of Cam ada and the Bay of Fundy, beset by fog, heavy winds and terrific electric al stormes.
 .Et seemed as though the atmosphere was haunted by 5000 deviis," said Lieu tenant Guy Harris, the meteorological officer.
 ATMOSPHERIC 100000
 WAS FINALLY SHAKEN
 With the R-34 long overdue at it's destination, petrol supply running low and buffeted by strong head winds Major Scott decided yesterday while over the Bay of Fundy to send wire less call to the American navy depart ment to be prepared to give assistance sif it were needed. This was merely measure of precaution While de- aS.royerS ana submarine chasers were fsracing to her assistance the R-34 was plugging steadily ahead on the way to Mineola. Once clear of the Bay Of Fundy the atm mosphere hoodoo which had beset the craft from the time it took the air was gradually left in it's wake
 The R-s4 headed southwest out across the Atlantic along the coast of Maine, her nose pointed for Cap Cod with the United States destroyer Bancroft on her tail and in constant wireless com munication with her. The destroyer stuck close in the wake of the air monster, running under forced draft until Cap Cod was reached and then the dirigible cut across lots.
 It had been decided on the voyage along the coast that unless a favor ing wind came up the R-34 would be forced to land at Montauk point and early this morning wireless message was sent out making that announce ment With the cape left behind, how ever, fortune favored the dirigible and the wind veered to her favor. Headed straight for Montauk Point she ran true and before the tip end of Long Island was reached it was decided to go into Mineola. With the goal almost in sight, the R-34 flew majestically above the island and headed straight down the center of it for Roosevelt Field. 100 miles away

gible came within range of the wireless telephone installed at Roosevelt field by the navy radio service and perfect com munication was established. During the night the wireless calls from the RIA were received by the navy radio station in New York and perfect communication was established.
 Over the wireleS telephone it was ex- plained to Major Scott that large part of the crew assembled to assist him in landing had been sent to Montauk Point in motor trucks in the expectation that he would tie up there and that conse- quently preparations for receiving him had not quite been completed.
 The mammoth balloon was sighted ir the distance about o'clock and b min utes later was over Roosevelt field. She cruised about in circle at height ot about 1000 feet until word was telephoned that everything was in readiness for the land.
 While the R-34 was circling the field at great height, Major Pritchard jumped off with a parachute. He landed safely near headquarters and smiling hurried indoors before an ambulance that had been rushed to the scene, could reach him. This was nearly a half hour before the dirigible came to anchor.
 Lieutenant Hoyt, U. S. N, the ground officer. had assembled on the field force of more than 800 soldiers and sailors ready for instant action as the R-& cir cled lower and lower. When she was only 200 feet above the groung huge hawser was let go from under her nose. British noIi- commissioned officers with American soldiers and sailors shouted gleefully as they seized the rope and hung on.
 Then water ballast was dropped from the forward end of the dirigible and her nose tipped. Then she began to descend. Five more guide lines were dropped and landing parties grasped them as the water ballast was dropped from the stern Tn both operations at bow and stern, the landing crews were drenched by the cas- cading water Major Scott directed all the details of the landing and it was carried out as smoothly as though the inexperienced landing crew had been an- chorinsr dirigihles all their lives.
