Proposal for Congress
10 Become Court of
Arbitration Offered
AT Havana Meet

HAVANA, Jan. 2~7.-LP-Whether
the Pan-American union should con-
tinue Its present non-political func-
tson or should assume the added
roie OF conciliator was before the
fan-American conference today.
Detailed articles Of incorporation
rs projected by the union itself and
widely varying amendments Of mem
e nations were up for discussion
by the commission charged with
preparing an organic basis for re-
organization of the union.
Inc amendments included those
proposing in one form or another
mat the union become a conciliator.
Ihese came from delegations Of
au6a. Salvador and Colombia. The
colombian project e~nvisaged the
establishment Of a court. somewhat
similar TO that Of The Hague, for
me settlement Of disputes in this
hemisphere.
Mexico Criticises
Another proposal was that adj
Nanced by Argentina that the union
concentrate its efforts on a plan Of
action aimed at the removal Of
al discriminatory tariff and quaran-
tine barriers 10 trade between the
Americas.
A Mexican proposal for reorgan-
ization Of the union implied criti-
clSm OF the present organization.
The chief Mexican suggestion II
alphabetical rotation of the chair
manship Of the governing board, a
post additionally held by the sec
rotary Of state Of the United States.
The same principal Of rotation would
apply to the office Of d~irector-gen-
eral, now held by a permanent Off
clai, DIR. Leo S. Rowe, a United
otates delegate TO the conference.
Right of Asylum Assailed
Efforts Of the conference to reach
an accord on frontier police and
pursuit of criminals across i~nterna-
tional boundaries failed when it was
voted 10 leave all questions Of pur-
suit up TO officials Of the adjoining
states. This vote in the commits
sion on public international Law fol-
lowed statements by Charles Evans
Hughes, chief Of the United States
delegation, and Gonzales Roa, Of
Mexico, as to the successful ooper
alton between the United States and
Mexico on the policing Of the inter
national border. They both opposed
taking the matter out Of the hands
Of local authorities and being gov
erned by the conferences conclu-
sions.
Mr.. Hughes also announced that
the United States would refuse to
recognize the right Of asylum as q
principle Of international law. IL
was understood the United States
would not become a party to any
convention defining the rights Of
asylum.

Final touches to the preparations
for a membership campaign by which
it is hoped to increase the person

three sections, and each group will
operate independently Of the others,
the individual members reporting ia
their team captains who in turn will
report to Henry VI. SHELTON, post
commander.
The quota Of the local post has
been set by state headquarters as
30. but so successful has been the
campaign in locating "the unknown
soldiers" in Brownsville, that the ad-
ditional membership Is almost as
sured. Mr.. SHELTON said.
The members Of the teams which
will conduct the campaign were ap-
pointed by the post commander, and
assigned to the different captains.
The airplane will enter into the
membership campaign here, the first
time such a stunt has been pulled il

der Anyways, will fly his ship over
the city and surrounding country

papers reply was that General Jose
Moncada, former liberal COMMANDER
in-chief, should be deported. They
said he was secretly aiding Sandi7o

General Moncada denied that ms
son. Aguiles Moncada, held such a

No Sign of SANDING or
His Men Found on
Peak of FL Chipote
After Capture

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 81
(P-American marines today were on
the peak Of Ell Chipote and the last
traces Of the rebel General Sandino's
occupation Of this, his last known
stronghold, has been destroyed.
From the crest Of FL Chipote, a
mountain 5000 feet high, Major Arch
bald Young. who led the marines in
their advance, signalled all was well
with them.
Sandino's followers we're under
stood to have been scattered when
the marines gained another objective
in their campaign Il drive the rebels
into isolated districts, cut off from
food and ammunition.
SANDING, who boosted that he would
never be driven from I'll Chipote was
believed to have been wounded in the
aerial bombardment which signslized
the beginning Of the attack IN the
mountain almost two weeks ago. Avi-
ators who made the attack said 40
rebels were killed in the lombard
ment.
No Word Of SANDING
Vultures, indicating that the rebels
had fled in haste leaving their dead
unburied, were the only signs of life
seer by marines who flew over the
district later.
All that has been heard Of SANDING
since then was a report, never con-
firmed, that he was slain and later
and more definite advices hat he was
wounded.
Three days ago Maj. Young adj
80 49, - - -r4aE-
lished his command of 400 men on
the slopes of the heavily timbered
mountain. He met with sporadic re-
sistance from SANDING followers, but
that was brushed aside as the ma
rines moved cautiously toward the
summit.
Notifications and trenches which
SANDING had built to make a natural
stronghold the more im~pregnable
were destroyed, deserted rebel camps
wiped out and the crest gained.
The landing Of supplies for the ma
rines has struck a snag at the port Of
Corinto.
