Turning Southward In Fuel Scarcity And Storm Warnings
A French trans Atlantic plane Yellow Bird heads for Portugal rather than France due to fuel shortage and a 50 mile gale. The crew judged the safer route given the storm and headwinds. They were within 200 miles of the Azores, having covered two thirds of the distance from Old Orchard Maine to Paris.

Senate Ratifies Farm Bill Swiftly For White House
Washington June 14 Senate approves the farm relief measure 73 to 8 and orders enrollment so it can be sent to the White House before President Hoover leaves. Conference committee unity overlooks the debenture plan as debate shortened and farm board personnel may be named soon to oversee a 300 million revolving fund. Senator Steck protests the final form claiming insufficient action on surplus. Borah resolution appears to be delayed.
