 GOVERNMENT NEWS
International Press Conference
 Accepts This Principle

Geneva. Aug. 2s (UP) - After general discussion of property right in news. the international press conference. convened here under the auspices of the league or nations, was unanimous today in accepting the principle first ad- vanced here by the United Press that governmental news should never become the exclusive prop erty of anyone.
 The conference instructed its general committee. of which Karl A. Bickeld, representing the United Press. is the American member, to prepare a project embodying the foregoing viewpoint.
 During the discussion of property rights in the news, Ramon De Franch of La Presna in Buenos Aires, emphasized the importance of this matter for the leading jour nals of South America.
 News obtained by these papers, he said, freely and frequently were reproduced in other newspapers without even mention being made of the origin of the news. De Branch supported the United Press resolu- tion for equality in treatment as between official and non-ofTicial agencies. He favored every effort to secure the property right in news so long as it had commercial value.
