GERMAN INTEREST
 IN PERSIA GROWS
Enterprises Show Success Since
 End of World Wu

Berlin, June 14 R-German in- tereSts in Persia have made great strides since the war. said Count Friedrich von der Schulenburg, Ger man minister at Teheran, in an ad- dress before the German-P Persian society.
 He mentioned that the Siemens- Berger syndicate, 8 German-Ameri- can enterprise. is constructing q railway 10 connect the Caspian sea with the Persian gulf. by way of Te- heran, a distance of 1000 miles, while the Junkers concern is run- ming air services from the capital to Bagdad, Baku, shiraz and Bu- shire, hooking up with British and Russian air lines.
 Dr. Schneewind. banking expert, is acting as supervisor of the Per- sian finances, a post formerly held by Dr. A. c. Millspaugh, an Amer ican.
 Prof. Ernest Herxfeld, also a Ger man, shares with the French, who formerly held the monopoly, the control of the archaeological treas- ures of the country.
 Under the progressive rule of Shah Riza Khan, said Count von der Schulenburg, Persia has estab- lished her own code of laws, on Eu- ropean lines, and a national univer- sity at Teheran is planned. Until now, the majority of Persian stu- dents received their training in Paris, but he hoped that German universities would attract them more and more. There are already Ger man commercial training centers at Teheran and Shiraz.
 Persia is willing and eager for Germany to cooperate in the devel- opment of the country" the German minister concluded.

Winds Are Favorable

Paris, June 14 R = Favorable winds for the French transatlantic |airplane Yellow Bird blew all along the northern coast of France and Brittany early this afternoon to speed the three French aviators on to their destined goal at Paris.
 Aviators were at a loss to ex- plain the unexpectedly high con- sumption of fuel reported by the Rochambeau. The Yellow Bird had been flown repeatedly in test flights and the rate of consumption was supposed 10 have been definitely determined. Weather reports indi- cated that favorable wind had been encountered. so that strong head winds could not be blamed. One possibility considered in some quarters was that the added weight of stowaway. rumored to be on board the plane. had been enough to upset the calculations on fuel consumption and cause the engine to burn more than the expected amount
 Sea Reported Rongh
 The sea was rough and the sky overcast. however. with stormy weather reported from several coast meteorological stations. The wind was generally from the south west and blowing with a velocity estimated at 25 miles an hour. Tnfavorab1e weather conditions, particularly as regards head winds. had been earlier reported bv the French weather bureau. though the weather man predicted that the wind would veer around to the southwest tomorrow Combinations over the Atlantic changed faster than he had predicted.

Revolt Threat Exists

Washington, June l4 R-A fresh revolt in republican ranks in the senate. directed against the tariff bill passed by the house. confronted congress today as it settled down to wsrk on the two principal recom- meadatiens of President Hoover to the extra session-tariff revision and farm relief.
 Senator Borah of Idaho, who con- tended for the export debenture plan of farm relief in opposition to the prssident. gave his party leaders in the senate new cause for concern to- day with his proposal to put the chamber on record for limitation of tariff revision to agricultural and re- lated products.
 The II republican senators on the finance committee already have de- fsatsd | similar motion by Senator King, democrat. Utah. which won the support of the democrats on the eommittee It was then that Borahs preponl was recognized as the principal issue before the senate to- day with prospects of considerable support from the republican inde- psndents and democrats who lined up against the president on deben- tuFee.
 Aeaate Ready to Yield
 Meanwhile, the farm relief mea- Nare was back in the hands of . 3eint conference committee with the Aeuss on record for the first time on tho export debenture provision which the senate twice has insisted ea. But the house vote of 250 to l13 was 70 overwhelmingly against the Aebenture plan that many of its ad- vecetes in the senate were ready to yield after perfunctory negotiations.
 Enactment of the farm bill, in form acceptable to the president, by temorrcw night now is the objec- tive ef administration leaders, who then will be ready to propose . re- cess until the senate finance com mittes completes its work on the tari3 bill, probably in August.
 lgoover Wins and Loses
 President Hoover won and lost yesterday as congress disposed of three ether recommendations on his Ave-psint program. The census-re- appertienment bill. embracing two el them, received hnal approval by tAe senate, ts to 37. and was sent to thN Waite House. The presidential pr1 peeal for suspensien of the na- tieSal origins immigration quota tA1Ds was rejected. 4s to s7. in the ssAats.

 Other advices indicate that the plane carried enough fuel for s6 hours. depending upon any head winds or storms which she may have to fight.
 Message Translated
 The message from the RoclRm- beau was received at ? o'clock this morning and was in somewhat gar bled French. IL was translated by French line officials as follows: ''On account of the heavy use of gasoline we are changing our course and go- ing toward the Azores and the Por- tuguese coast"
 The message was so garbled in transmission that it was impossible to tell when it had been dispatched or when the steamer had received the report of the change of course from the Yellow Bird.
 The message reported that the Yellow Bird gave it's report at ''-:3O c. M. T." Some in the of- flee thought this was supposed to be 1?:30 c. M. T.. which would be 6:3O New York time last evening, prior to the time the plane was sighted by a freighter $50 miles from Maine.
 No Loss of Time
 If this was true the decision to take the southerly course would mean no appreciable loss of ground as the swing to the southern course could be made at the steamer lane corner" Others. however. thought the time could not have been 12:30 c. M. T. as there was no reason able explanation for the Rocham- beau having held the report for hours before relaying it to shore.

YELLOW BIRD OFF PORTUGAL COAST
(Continued from First Pase)

Bird give her position, and aa 1t has . radio range of 600 miles, its position cannot be accurately plot ted from the positions of the steam CTS.
 But an earlier report from the French liner Rochambeau had said the plane had decided to take the southern route by way of the Azores and Portugal. so it was supposed that she was somewhere between the Azores and the mainland when she communicated with the Niagara and the Laconia.
 Said Gas Getting Low
 The Yellow Bird told the Rocham- beau that it was taking the south- ern course because of an unexpect- ed high rate of gasoline consump- ton. From the fact that it made no mention of its fuel supply m it's communication hours later 10 the Niagara and Laconia it was as- stunned that a recheck fthe tanks had been reassuring.
