Change in Attitude Toward Yellow Bird Crew

Paris. June IS N-Ths crsw O. the transatlantic monoplans Yellow Bird will be received at Ae cham ber of deputies, the senate and the Hotel de Vile. tomorrow. the high. est honor that a Frenchman caa re- ceive.
 Of all these honors | reception te- day by M. Laurent Eynac, air minis ter, is probably one that gives the fliers the greatest satisfaction. The minister had refused to encourase or recognize the Yellow Birds at- tempt. It was said at the ministry even after the hopoff from Old Orchard that if the flight succeeded 1t would prove nothing and that the ministry frowned on all such at. tempts with machines not fitted with floats.

 It was only at the last minute when the fiiers' arrival was . mat ter of an hour or 70 that the minis ter decided he could no longer re- fuse to give oncial recosnitiea q the magnificent success. Today,s visit does not mean that the sov- ernment has changed its viewpoint as to transatlantic flights by ether than water planes, but it ameunts to official recognition of the naere' performance.

OBSCENE WORDS IN HYMN BY STUDENT Harvard Senior Dismissed for
 Immoral AnaSram in Words SONG SUNG ON SUNDAY
First Letters Of 10 Lines Of Verse Spelled Out lndecencies, AuthOri- ties Find-Punishnlent Is Called
 Drastic.

Boston, June Is R Edward Fitzhugh, of Boise, Idaho, author of the Harvard college senior class hymn and prominent in student literary affairs. who was to have been graduated with his class Thursday, has been dismissed from the college, it was learned today. College authorities declined 10 com ment on the case.
 Anagram Immoral
 Fitzhugh, who was an editor of the Harvard Advocate, a student monthly. was dismissed because of the injection, by means of an ana gram. of immortality into the hymn. His dismissal came at the height of the commencement week activi- ties which were ushered in with a baccalaureate program Sunday. which included the singing of Fitzhugh's hymn.
 The hymn, a work of four verses of four lines each. contained sacred sentiment. It was discovered after the baccalaureate service, however. that it had been written in the form of an anagram. which if the first letters of the 16 lines were read downward, spelled out four obscene words.
 Started by Accident
 Fitzhugh was reported to have left Cambridge immediately after his dismissal Student friends stated however, that the anagram developed primarily by accident and that after he realized the situation he developed it further. believing that only he would be aware of it.
 The dismissal of F'itzhugh, while not unparalleled in the history of Harvard as regards its 11th hour character. was the most drastic punishment ever meted out for a literary offense in many years.
