RUMOR FAMOUS
ADVENTURE is
TO HALT ARABS
England Hears Reports
That Lawrence of Arabia
Has Mission.
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. 30.-The strict Sc
crecy surrounding the present
whereabouts Of Lawrence of Arabia
led to the belief in certain quarters
today that the once "uncrowned
king Of the Arabs has been dis
patched on a state mission to Pales-
tine to pacify the tribesmen who
have risen against the Jews Of the
Holy Land.
This amazing character, known
variously as Lawrence OF Arabia,
Colonel T. z. Lawrence of Aircrafts-
man Shaw, soldier, scholar, ex-
plorer, adventurer, maker of kings,
secret military agent and leader of
revolutions, had spent recent months
puttering around the Cattewater air
drome, near Plymouth.
He has refused all the honors
which the British government has
attempted to heap upon him. He
refused a knighthood and the high
est decorations.
Angry at British
He has refused various commits
sions and he preferred to remain
a private in the British air force
to the higher colonelcy from which
he resigned. Il was said ne was
angry at the British government
for the way in which his Arabs had
been treated after the World wal
OF late, it was reported, before
he disappeared from the airdrome,
his movements had been secret. It
was understood that he left Plym-
outh for an unknown destination.
Efforts to get information about
Lawrence of Arabia from govern
ment officials today proved futile.
1t was limited that when the
trouble broke out in Palestine with
bands Of Arabs swooping upon the
Jews, pillaging, numbering, burning,
robbing, and with other hordes of
Arabs threatening to invade Pales-
tine from Trans-Jordania, Syria
and other Arabic countries, the Brit
ish government Immediately recalled
it had a man in its aircraft service
who might be able to solve the whole
riddle. Lawrence of Arabia prob
ably was Immediately thought of as
the one man who could pacify the
fury of the Arabs.
HOnOred by Arabs
Lawrence has lived among Ara
bans for years. He made kings and
unmade others. He organized the
forces of the King of Held. who had
revolted against the Sultan and
seized Mecca. The story of how
this Englishman. dressed in the flow
ing robes of an Arab. led the
Arabs from one military success to
another reads pretty much like the
history of Napoleon during his first
italian campaign.
The Arabs heaped great honors
upon him. They made him a prince
and an emir. But Lawrence finally
came back to England and became
a private in the air force. What
was back of all that probably never
will be known.
All that is known for the present

SENATE GROUP
BEGINS NEW
FARM BILL

Denied the Administrative coun-
Gil of President Hoover, the SEN
ate Agriculture Committee today
began the tedious task of drafting
a new farm relief bill with the
n1uch-discussed equalization fee
eliminated
The committee had a new Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, stripped OF the
fee, to use as basis for the new
relief measure. It's principal fea.
ture was a $500. .000, 900 revolving
fund to be used by a Federal Farm
Board in making loans to farm
organizations for the handling of
surplus crops.
A special insurance provision,
under which cooperative associa-
tions would be insured against
price decline during the harvesting
seasons, may take the place of
the equalization fee. which twice
provoked presidential vetoes.
Hoover Speeches Studied
While Mr.. Hoover declined to
recommend any specific form for
the desired legislation, committee
"CLC AllB ItlO 4CS1-
dents campaign speeches and
previous announcements on the
agricultural problem. They hoped
to write a bill finally which will
meet with Presidential approval.
The bill ultimately drafted prob
ably will follow closely along the
lines of the measure introduced
by McNary at the last session of
Congress.
Minimize Price Changes
This measure would declare it the
policy of the United States to
minimize price fluctuations on farm
products through the control of
surplus crops by organizations of
producers. The Government would
merely help the farmers own
organization to finance the gigantic
task.
A Federal farm board Of seven
members would be created to pro-
vide Government assistance and a
$500 200, 900 revolving fund would
be established to provide financing
The nearest approach to an
equalization fee would be the insur-
ance provisions-similar in that it
would tend to force all farmers into
cooperative marketing associations.

that the body of the marshal should

evening, bat at the request OF
Madame Foch, who wished tne
public tribute to be confined to one

cathedral under a military escort
last night. ,t
Before the removal Of the body
the crowd became so dense that it
temporarily got beyond control OF
the police. In the crush that. fol.

knocked down and trampled. When
order was restored 81 persons were
sent to the hospital for treatment.

A N excursion through the news
L n of the day reveals the court
costume of General Dawes as the
burning issue of the moment. The
ambassador. as you probably have
read, attended a royal function clad
in evening clothes rather than the
traditional knee breeches. Editorial
comment hearabouts has been IA
vorable to the general. He is ap-
plauded for his sturdy American
ism.
I am not bitter about our repre-
sentative's failure to get into satin
shorts. He may have excellent rea-
sons for stunning such a costume.
Possibly the ambassadorial leg is
more shapely when it's draped in
trousers. 1t may be that Mr.. Dawes
would feel a fool in garb which is
strange to him. Ever SO many ade-
quate causes could be introduced to
support the generals choice.
But it is silly to cite Sturdy
Arnericanisn." I can't see that this
touches the problem in any way. An
American abroad would not neces-
sarily abate one little of his patriot
ism even though he donned kits
and swung a claymore.
