Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WINDSOR, England, June Is. W.R)
Charles G. Dawes, former vice
president of the United States, of
ficially became ambassador to Great
Britain at 1880 a. m. today when
his credentials were accepted by
King George in audience at Windsor
Castle.
King George granted special per
mission for the audience today to en-
able Dawes to go forward inn
mediately with his full program in
augurating a new era in Anglo
American relations, which the Brit
ish public believed he would lift to
higher level of friendliness.
Dawes, who arrived here only yes
terday on the liner Olympic from
New York, will leave tonight fol
Forres, Scotland, to begin his duties
with private conference with
Prime Minister Ramsay MacD Donald
the Laborite leader who has pledged
his party to disarmament and friend.
ship with America.
The actual ceremonies of present
ing the credentials occupied only a
few moments, but the king asked
Dawes to remain when the other
members Of his party had retired
and they talked privately for 80 min
utes.
After the audience, Dawes told the
United Press the king was "de-
ightful" person, and that he was
looking well.
The ambassador 3 party was met
at the Windsor station by Sir John
Hanbury- Williams, marshal of the
diplomatic corps, who welcomed them
to the ancient seat of Britain's kings
and escorted them to the two open
state carriages which were to take
them inside the castle grounds, 100
yards away.
The carriages, each drawn by two
white horses, moved away just at the
moment that the military band
struck up march for changing the
guard.
Dawes and his party were escort.
ed Immediately into the kings pres.
ence. After the audience the party
returned to London.
Arthur Henderson, British foreign
secretary, Mrs. Dawes, and Ray
Atherton, counsellor Of the American
embassy, were among those in the
Dawes party.

SUPERVISORS TO
DISCUSS BORDER
BOXING MATTER

There is possibility that the
American Legion will be prohibited
from staging prize fights in the
arena at Calexico, it was learned
yesterday when County Supervisor
Henry Jackson stated the matter
would be brought up at the next
meeting of the county board. Mon,
day.
Elmer Heald, district attorney,
recently brought the matter of the
alleged illegal use of the structure
to the attention of the supervisors
stating that it was the purpose of
the law to provide a meeting place
for the veterans for which county
money had been obtained through
taxes and that the buildings so erect
ed were not intended to be used for
the holding of affairs to make
profit.
The Calexico structure is not suit.
able as a meeting place unless it is
remodeled. The building was de-
signed primarily as a fight arena.
just what action will be taken by
the board Is q matter of conjecture.
1t is understood the attention of the
supervisors has been drawn several
times to the situation but nothing
definite was ever accomplished.
The American Legion post at Cal
eXico is expected to make a spirited
protest to the board against any
action designed to prohibit the or
ganization using the arena as they
see fit. Although the district attor-
ney has practically ruled the build
ing is being used as prize fight
arena illegally, the post members, it
is understood, contend they have the
right to hold boxing contests in it
if they so desire.
The question as to which side is
correct in interpreting the law will
probably result in court action be-
fore final settlement.

SEATTLE, June Is. W.H - The
body of the Rev. Daniel Salwt, self
styled seventh messenger" was
embalmed and prepared for burial
today-his faithful, long-haired fol-
lowers finally being convinced he

fearing the process would interfere
with "Brother Daniel returning 10

BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
Omitted Press staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, June 10. U.D -
President Hoover today signed the
$500, 10000 administration farm re-
lief bill.
The new law, to become effective
Immediately, provides for creation
of federal farm board Of nine
members to work for the rehabilita-
tion of American agriculture.
No export bounty or subsidy is
provided, the controversial deben-
ture feature having been killed by
congress after President Hoover
twice had expressed uncompromising
opposition to the scheme.
The new federal farm board. to
be selected by the President and
confirmed by the senate, will be es-
tablished in about 10 days under
present White House plans.
With confirmation Of the new
board, the nation will have its first
permanent federal agency empower
ed to work for coordination and
stabilization in all phases Of agri-
culture.
A revolving fund Of $500, ,000, 900
is authorized by the bill, to stimu-
late development of cooperative mar
keting systems and aid in balanc-
ing production with consumption in
every commodity.
The Presidents office had been
cleared for the ceremony. Kleig
lights and movie sound equipment
gave it the appearance of Holly
wood studio.
Mr.. Hoover sat at his desk and #.
fixed his signature. Gathered about
him were the senate and house con.
ferees, Vice President Curtis, Speak.
er Longworth, Republican Leader
Watson Of the senate and newspaper
men.
Movie cameras clicked as the chief
executive signed the document. He'
used two pens and afterward gave
one to Chairman McNary Of tho
senate agriculture committee and the
other to Chairman Haugen of the
house agriculture committee.
Ends Long Fight :
''It is proposal for the steady
upbuilding Of agriculture on firm
foundations of equality with other
industry" President Hoover said in
describing the general aims of the.
bill on one occasion. ~
Consummation of the legislation,
in the opinion of administration sup
porters, lays low the spectre Of
81 farm relief which has haunted
the corridors of capitol Hill since the
war. Equality for agriculture, I"
the rollying cry of the farm bloc
since the drastic deflation Of 1920,
has been the overtone Of every ses-
sion of congress since that time.
With the possible exception Of pro-
hibition, agriculture had dominated
politics ia both parties fer almost a
decade.
Passing of the measure brought o.
prediction from Rep. Purnell, Repn.,
Ind, that agriculture prices would
advance within 80 days.

YANKEE YOUTH
TAKES GLORY OF

Young Stowaway Given

COMILLAS, Spain, June 10. U.P)
| An American youth who rode the
Atlantic on the flip Of coin shared
the glory of a daring sea flight with
three Frenchmen here today.
The monoplane Yellow Bird, carry

of Portland, Me-, landed on the peb-

reach the soil of France-tucked
away in the cubby hole he occupied
on the 3,400 mile flight from Old

"He shared our risks and he is
one of US now" Assolant, chief pilot
of the Yellow Bird, said of Schreiber.
"We will see to it that he sees all

out of his hiding in the plane about
20. minutes after the Yellow Bird
took off.
"Our surprise was greater than
our indignation. But when we re-
garded his big, blue eyes, which
seemed to be mutely begging for
our pardon, we looked at each other
and smiled. There was nothing else
