close-fitting hat, trimmed with
tea roses, chatted with Mrs.
Hoover while the President and
King were engaged upon their
twin problems of government, and
became good friends.
Call Is Returned
The ceremonial of welcome at
the White House was not more
than IL minutes in duration. and
was followed at II o'clock by
return call of the President and
Mrs. Hoover upon the King and
Queen at their abode on Massa-
chuSetts Avenue-the Larz Ander-
son residence in the heart of
Washington's ultr Questionable
section, temporarily converted
into Siamese territory.
Here there was a real touch of
Oriental atmosphere to the
scene, for a huge brown Buddha
smiles down at the entrance of
the Anderson home, and it was
flanked with clusters of Gala
lilies in honor of the Presidential
visit.
Back in the Orient
In the diplomatic sense, the
President was stepping upon for
eign soil when he made his call
upon King Prajadhipok. Thus
he was once more in Oriental ter
riCory, where his career as an en-
gineer began 80 odd years ago.
AS the President and Mrs.
Hoover returned to the White
House there began a long line Of
official calls upon the royal
guests, including Vice President
Curtis and Mrs. Edward E. Gam,
the Justices of the Supreme Court
and their wives, the members of
the Cabinet, Gen. j. j. Pershing,
representing the American Army,
with Maj. Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur, chief of staff; the diplo-
matte corps, Admiral Pratt, chief
Of naval operations, and the COM
mandant of the Marine Corps.
Afternoon of Rest
At the insistence of King Pra-
jadhipOk's physician, who fears
that his health will be endangered
by too heavy a burden of official
ceremony, the balance of his aft
erOon'S program, including a radio
broadcast, and trips to Arlington
and Mt. Vernon, has been can
celled.
The President and Mrs.
Hoover tender an official dinner
to the King and his consort this
evening.
When the royal couple called at
the White House this morning q
13-year-Old yOungster was glmipS:
ing them from point of vantage
in one of the corridors. He was
Bryan Untiedt, the Colorado
school boy who aided in reScuing
large party of blizzard bound
school mates in the Colorado
mountains and was invited by
President Hoover to be his guest
at the White House because of
his galIantry.
Young Hoover a Guest
Young Mr.. Untiedt arrived at
the White House this morning
and had big day of it, with the
arrival of the King of Siam Civ
ing him big thrill right at the
start Of it.
Another White House guest who
took great interest in the cere-
mony was Herbert Hoover, jr.. who
arrived from Asheville, N. c., last
evening and will spend a week
with his father before leaving for
his California home with his wife
and children.
There was a large crowd of
tourists gathered around the
