SUGGESTION OF
UNITED PRESS
is ACCEPTED
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press Staff Correspondent)


Geneva, Aug. 26.-After general
discussion of property right in
news, the International Press con-
ference, convened under the auspi-
ccs of the League of Nations, was
unanimous today in accepting the
principle first advanced here by
the United Press that governmental
news should never become the eX-
elusive property of any one.
The conference instructed its
general committee of which Karl A.
Bickel, representing the United
Press, is the American member, to
prepare project embodying the
foregoing viewpoint.
During the discussion Of property
rights in the news, Ramon De
Franch of La Prenza in Buenos All
res, emphasized the Importance of
this matter for the leading journals
Of South America.
News obtained by these papers,
he said, freely and frequently was
reproduced in other newspapers
without even mention being made
of the origin Of the news. Dc
Franch supported the United Press
resolution for equality in treatment
as between official and non official
agencies. He favored every effort
to secure the property right in news
so long as it had commercial value.

tacked by large band of men near

ing holes in the coaches with their
shots,
AS the train proceeded in the dark
ness, Miss Anderson suddenly

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Paul
Redfern, attempting 1900 mile
nonstop flight to Rio De Janeiro,
Sea and will reach the mainland of
South America late this afternoon
if all goes well with him.
Navy officials estimated that TAX
ing headwinds into consideration
the lone flyer would enter the see
ond night of his flight in the track
less wilderness Of British and Dutch
Gniana, passing over the Amazon
river several hundred miles from its
mouth before midnight if he sue
eeeds in remaining in the air.
. Redfern estimated he should
reach Rio about 7:30 p m. eastern
standard time Saturday, more than
an hour after darkness falls in the
/ Brazilian capital, if he arrives at
all.
Doubt is expressed generally that
Redfern will get that far, however
His 525 gallons OF gasoline, used up
at the rate Of II gallons an hour,
will last about AZ hours, and with
the headwinds, the complete jour
ney would require 50 hours, it was
{ estimated.
Weather Good
Headwinds bl, y almost continual.
zlv over the Caribbean, but the wea.
9her over the southern continent is
8cxpected to be good. The navy 8
/ aviation experts, Licutenants Earle
Kincaide and Eugene Burkett, csti
mated Redfern s actual speed woul
be cut from 50 to II nautical miles
an hour across the Caribbean.
Redfern had no moon to help him
on his lonely flight and last night
must have depended entirely upon
his instruments and the FREQUENT
lighthouses and navigation aids in
|the West Indies, it was said.
The experts figured Redfern
would reach Trinidad Island off
British Guiana at p. m. (E,S.TD
taday and Georgetown, 300 knots
|eastward along the coast, at about
A.45 p. m. Turning south over the
Guiana jungles, he would encounter
darkness at $50.
i At Macapa he probably will de
'etide whether to continue southeast
erIy to Rio, 1920 nautical miles a
\ way, or turn to Para or Pernumbu-
4 co, closer and more to the east. The
experts calculated the flight across
4 Rro,il would take 10 hours although
with good weather and much of the
weight Of his gasoline gone, Red
fern might fly faster.

DENVER, Aug. GA compro-
mise proposal, formulated by repre-
sentatives of the upper Colorado
river basin states today was before
California and Arizona delegates to
the Seven.State River Conference
here.
Either acceptance or rejection
was expected some time during the
day.
The complete compromise propo-
sition submitted bv the upper
states last night follows:
OF the total river flow below
Lees Ferry, consisting of 100000
acre feet of water, the lower basin
! allotment would be 100000 acre
feet to Nevada, l37 800 TO Cali
fornia and 3,062.500 to Arizona.
The division was arrived AZ by
subtracting from the 100000 acre
feet, Nevada 8 share of 100000
acre feet, 250,000 acre feet repre-
senting Arizona s perfected water
rights, 100000 acre feet Califor-
mia $ perfected rights and $4,000
acre feet which will go to Arizona
Indian lands. The remainder.
4,275.000 acre feet was divided
equally between Arizona and Cali
fornia. Each state thus would get
2.137,500 acre feet in addition to
other allotments.
Arizona would receive rndNr
terms Of the compromise 100000
acre feet from her tributary
streams, constituting excess flow of
the Colorado river. That would
make Arizona's actual total 4,062,-
500 acre feet.
Governor George W. p. Hunt, OF
Arizona. said that as he saw it, the
proposal would mean that Arizona
would receive 10 per cent and Cali
fornia SO per cent of tho water al
located the lower basin.
Young to Stay
Although river commissioners
were not optimistic over acceptance
Of the compromise attempt in its
entiretv, thev said il probably
would form the basis for c0nces-
sions by both California and Ari-
zona. which ultimately wonld lead
to ratification.
Governor Young announced after
the proposal was made that he had
cancelled rlons TO leH"o Dc""er ~
