SEATTLE, April P. (P-The ques tion of whether a child born abroad of foreign father of Chinese descent, who is a citizen of the United States and who resides therein, but who had never resided in the United States at the time such child was born, is en- titled to admission to the United States as a citizen under the provi- sions of Section 1898 of the Revised Statutes is before the Supreme court of the United States in the case of Luther Weedin, commissioner of inn migration at the Port of Seattle, Wn., petitioner, vs. Chin Bow.

 The petitioner argues that the pur- pose of Congress in enacting Section 1893 was to prevent, by limitation contained in the proviso thereof, the residence abroad of successive genera lions of persons claiming the privi- leges of American citizenship while eyading it's duties. That unless the residence of the father occurs prior to the birth of the children, this pur- pose may be defeated.

Expect Youthful Aviator
Will Emerge With Some
''Corking Yarn"

BRUNSWICK, Ga. Sept. ~tp1--
Despite the fact that Paul Redfern,
Brunswick to Brazil flier, has been
OH the list of missing trans-oceanic
aviators for more than a week, belief
is growing among his friends here
that he will come out of some isolated
section of South America with "a
corking yarn"
This belief is predicated on several
things, including the indefinite reports
that Redferns monoplane was sighted
both off the coast of Venezuela anG
flying across the Orinoco river delta
in that country. Those who watched
the 25 year old flier prepare for the
flight observed that Redfern pro-
vided for almost every kind of
emergency and topped off the pre-
parations with the statement, Don't
worry if you don't hear from me for
six months"
While some hold that Redfern
probably will turn up" safe sone-
where soon, there are others who
have despaired of his life and they
see their belief borne out in daily
dispatches from Brazil and other
countries that no news has been
received concerning the aviator.

Old Glory Reaches
Old Orchard, Maine
In Flight to Rome

moned by Captain Jones when it
was learned the plane was coming
here, constructed a temporary rum
way over the loose sand far. above
the high tide mark. The plane was
rolled up the beach and was made
fast to boards for the night.
Half the gasoline supply of the
plane was drained off before the
take off at Roosevelt field this after
noon and was being rushed over the
road to Old orchard tonight, together
with some "a gallons of oil which
was discharged to help enable the
plane to rise from the New York
field, where rain, mud and cross
winds have held it landbound for
weeks.
Only a stiff cross wind, which in
this case would be from the east,
can prevent the Old Glorys hop off
tomorrow The beach itself, with the
tide low, forms a. runway giving the
plane three generous miles in which
to lift itself and its heavy load OF
fuel, while the run can be made
from either end, or quartering across
the sands, depending on the direc-
ton of the wind.
The exact time of the Old Glory's
departufS tomorrow could not be
ascertained tonight, as the pilots
themselves could get no more definite
hour than "some time during the
afternoon"

OLD ORCHARD, Me, Sept. P)-
Sliding out of the gathering dusk
into the glare OF fire engine search
light and two hastily constructed
bonfires, the monoplane Old Glory
settled gracefully tonight on Old
Orchard beach, three mile run
way build by nature, from which
j. S. Fill and Lloyd Bertaud hope
to hop off tomorrow on their long
delayed flight to Rome.
Five hundred persons were gathered
son the sands when the roar of the
motor heralded the giant planes ap-
proach. Barely discernible in the
gathering gloom the plane c1rcled
over the beach three times before
dropping onto the sand, hard packed
by the sea.
Hill and Bertaud, who will make
the flight to Rome alone, were en-
thusiastic over their planes perform
ance on the trip up from New YORK
and the huge natural runway from
which they plan to hop off across
the Atlantic tomorrow afternoon.
The flight from New York was
without incident, they said, and the
landing here was easy, despite. the
darkness and unfamiliar ground.
The pilots went Immediately to
their hotel for dinner, but Hill said
he planned to return later to work
on the plane and make things ship
shape for the night. The Old Glory
was far too big for any hangar on

Council of League of Ma
tio1is Considers Western
Hemisphere.
U. S, OPPOSED.
Opinion Prevails That This
Country Opposes Outside
Help.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. P)-
The outstanding topic of discussion
in Geneva tonight was the statement
Of Enrique Villegas, of Chile, presi-
dent of the league council, at today's
meeting that he saw no reason why
the league Of nations could not inter
est itself in political problems outside
of Europe.
This is interpreted here as an
alIusion to the possibility that the
league council may take up any
future political problems affecting
the Latin-American states. Heretofore
it has been understood in league
circles that the Latin American mem
bers preferred to settle among them
selves and by themselves any political
disputes arising on the American con-
tinent by the process of arbitration
which the Latin-American states SO
strongly have developed.
If the views of President Villegas
meet with the approval of Latin
Americans generally it is thought
possible that the league of nations
may take on new political force and
prestige, perhaps even endeayoring
to settle the Tacna-Arica dispute.
M. Paul Doncour, official spokes-
man of the French delegation-who
incidentally remarked that if the dis
armament debate does not come up
in the assembly he himself will pro-
woke it-manifested tonight absorbing
interest in The possible activities OF
the league in Latin American matters.
'"The Latin American states have
only to bring any questions before
the council" he said, ''and the council
will be only too glad to interest
itself in the amicable settlement or
these"
The possible submission of any
future Latin american problems to
the league council has created interest
from another angle. That is, the
effect of such development of the
league on American public opinion,
in view of The opinion prevailing in
many quarters in Europe that the
United States infinitely prefers to
see political controversies Involving
American nations settled by the
American continent itself.
The presidency of the assembly
appears to be sitting down to Count
Won .Mensdorf, Of Austria, and
Mineichiro Adachi, Japanese ambas-
sador to France, with the odds favor
ing the Austrian Most of the after
noon was spent in conversations be-
tween the various delegates, having
reference to the general work Of the
assembly which begins Monday.
Following upon the recent inter
national economic conference, IN
which the American delegates took
prominent part, the league council
adopted policy today calculated to
link the American people closer with
the league and its development by
appointing jeremiah Smith. of Boston
former league commissioner for the
financial rehabilitation Of Hungary
as a member of the leagues perma-
nent financial committee. Mr.. Smith
has accepted the appointment and
will be the first American to serve
on this committee, which plays an
important role in European financial
reconstruction.
