HEARST RANCH

BY FREDERICK G. NEUMEIER

W $1,000 Inv
MEXICO CITY. June 26.--Govern-
or Enrique. OF Chihuahua, has noti-
fled w. NJ. Farss, manager OF the
w. r. Hearst ranch at Barbicord
that. acting under the agrarian laws,
the property will be taken over and
divided. The order for this cxpropria-
ton has not yet been issued and
Farris is here attempting 10 prevent
the proposed action.
Hearst's Barbicora ranch COM
prlses $4,000 hectares, "a hectare is
2.47 acres1
The threatened seizure is a big
surprise, in view OF the fact that
Hearst has been supporting the OBJ
RECON government. and also because
appropriation is one of the big prob
lens before the conference, which is
even now seeking basis for recog.
milton of obregon by the United
states.
There is no indication of whether
the government plans TO seize other
Hearst holdings.
