Roaring around the 2% mile brick oval at 120 miles an hour, Hepburn suddenly lost control of his car. Both he and his riding mechanic, Paul Devan, Hollywood, ' Calif., escaped unhurt, however, when the racer spun off the track and stopped on the dirt safety I apron at the inside rail of the northeast turn. “A gust of wind caught the car as we were riding high into the turn,” Hefiburn said. “It was so strong that it held the car up, against the concrete retaining wall.. When it appeared we might hit the wall I jerked the wheel, start-j

CHICAGO MEAT PACKER DIES I Louis F. Swift, Former President Os Company, Is Dead Chicago, May 12. -|(U.R>- tnuh F. Swift, 75, (ormer president and' chairman of Swift and Company, packers, died in Chicago Memorial hospital today after a long illness. Swift resigned as president of the company in 1931, after a 28year term during which the corporation’s capital grew to $150,000,000, with a surplus of more than 370,000,000. He served as board chairman for one year, retiring in January, 1932, and spending most of his time since then in Europe and Santa Barabara, Cal. Swift was born at Sagamore, Mass., and came to Chicago when he was 14. One of his first jobs was assisting his father, Gustavus ‘ Franklin Swift, in dressing steers. He progressed into cattle buying, and eventually was placed in - charge of the pork department' of his father’s firm. The company was incorporated | in 1885, and Louis Swift started a 10-year term as treasurer. Ho

stepped into the presidency in 1903, when his father died. Louis Swift was an important figure in the development of the by-product Industry, and the inclusion of the dairy and poultry business in the meat industry. He and his brothers were among the first to take advantage of refrigeration and railroad expansion to extend their business into previously unserviced territory. He is survived by two children, Mrs. Idamay Swift Minoto, and Louis F. Swift, Jr.; four brothers,' Charles H. Swift, chairman of the board, Gustavus F. Swift, presi-1 dent, Harold H. Swift, vice-presi-dent and director, and George 11. Swift, of Boston, director, and two sisters, Mrs. Francis Neilson, Chicago, and Mrs. Ruth Swift Maguire, New York. His wife, the former Ida May Butler of Chicago, died in 1922. Q GEORGE VI IS CCONTINURn P-wrvM nwo" rich canopy over her head. When she was crowned, all the peeresses donned their coronets.

puzzled to find the front. When he got it on. It was askew, setting rakishly on the left side of the king's head. After days of rain, fortune smiled on the new king and the sun broke throngh the clouds, shining through the great stnlned glass windows of the Abbey. Outside, the royal salute of 103 guns Ixanned from the tower of London and St. James’s park, and the hundreds of thousands who packed the streets echoed “God ' save the king" in a swelling paean of joy that rolled over the vast metropolis. They had stood in line for hours — some even for two days — to witness the magnificent state processions which preceded and followed the coronation. They stretched in an unbroken mass along the six-mlle route along which the king and queen, royalty, visiting notables and dignitaries rode in state back to Buckingham Palace, accompanied by a great military display. Bands blared and the roar of cheering was continuous and deafening. It was 1 a. m. wiien an army bugle sounded in Hyde Park and opened coronation day. The bugle woke the cooks to prepare breakfast for the soldiers tented there for the coronation parade. Within earshot of the bugle were crowds still jamming the west end of the city for the cor-onation-eve celebration. In parliament square, where Westminster Abbey is situated, and in historic Whitehall that runs from it, there was no room by 5 a. in. for more people. Police had to close the entire area While the crowds waited the day’s event 50 senior officers of Scotland Yard’s secret service the “special branch" — made a

gnn arriving nt the Abbey. They carried their coronets in their hands, and most of them had pie | bian sandwiches and thermos ' flasks hidden under the ermine. The abliey Itself was filling fast, hours before the ceremony. The peeresses, in their ermine, their feathers and their crimson, shivered in the chill of the old edifice. My seat commanded an exceli lent view of "Edward’s chair," the throne on which ho was to sit for Ills anointifiont, the supreme act of ihn ceremony; the chairs in which the king and queen first sit for the ceremony, and the royal box. The first casualties began arriving at the hospitals- scattering people, chiefly women, who fell from stands or fainted from long . waiting in line. David Lloyd George, wartime ’ prime minister, got a tumultuous cheer as he drove to the abbey: in full court dress with cocked plumed hat. By 7:30 a. m. the abbey was one-third filled—nearly four hours ' before the start of t"r> ceremony.

They were France, sitting with their friends in the Chateau De Cande, listening from chairs in 1 the converted limiting lodge to the coronation broadcast from Lon--1 don.
