FATHER HOPES
Filler ALIVE IN
BRAZIL JUNGLE
Paul Redfern Missing Year,
Carried Supplies for
Forced Landing.
By United Press

| DD CHtttu TUBS
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. A young
American with heavy black beard
and notified hair is alive in the jun
giles of tropical South America,
awaiting an opportunity to journey
down some great river to civiliza-
ton, his father believes one year
after Paul Redfern left Brunswick,
Ga. on a flight to Rio de Janeiro.
1t was year ago last month that
Redfern left wide stretch of beach
in gold and silver monoplane and
pointed the craft southwark towards
the Bahamas, and the continent of
South America, way beyond. But
for the crew of freighter, the
Kristian Krogh, no one has reported
sight of the plane since. Redfern
circled the Kristian Krogh, $40 miles
off the Venezuela coast, some "a
hours after he sped away from
Brunswick, and then disappeared
southwark.
DR.. Frederick Redfern, president
of a Negro Baptist College at Co.
lumbia, S. c., and his wife, now
national Republican committee
woman from the State, continue to
hope their son is alive. They think
there is ample reason to believe he
lives in some fastness in the interior
Of Brazil or far up the reaches of
the Orinoco in Venezuela or Co.
lombia.
Redfern cautiously left with full
equipment for a forced landing in
the jungles. No single item that a
man might need in the tropical
businesses was forgotten.
He knew the prevalence of terrific
electric storms in the region he
must pass through on the way to
Rio and took precautions for such
a landing and for a six months So
journ in the wilderness alone. He
had a parachute, and planned to
leap overheard should his plane give
out OF gas. The equipment he
needed was packed in a dunnage
bag hooked to the parachute cords.
There were such articles as tackle
for catching fish in the tropical riv-
ers, combination shotgun and rife
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-09-04

with ammunition to kill beasts
ranging from rabbits to jaguars.
There was a supply Of cholocate,
concentrated food, sufficient to last
for weeks before Redfern would be
forced to live off the land.
There was first aid kit, with all
modern appliances in event he was
injured in a plane crash. There
was an ominous little bottle of poi
son. Medicine for all ills was in
the plane. There was even lotion
against mosquito bites and yards of
mosquito netting.
Heavy boots, made for hikes in
the underbrush; a long scythe like
knife for hacking ones way out of
the monte" that abounds in the
region; long hunting knives to skin
animals with-these also we're in
the cockpit of the plane.
The f1ier's father recalls that the
24-year-old flier said just before
stepping into the cockpit, "Remem-
Der, don't worry and don't give up
hope"
