TALLMAN STILL
SUCCESSFUL in
ELUDINC POLICE
No Trace of Slayer Sus-
pect Despite Intense
Search.

SAN FRANCISCO, June IL. U.P)
Science and sea were called upon
today as the last resort of bafflcd
man hunters seeking William l.. Tall
man, dapper radio operator, suspect
ed of the "brick bait murder of
Mrs. Virginia Patty in Los Angeles.
After six days of fine eombing
the west coast seaboard from Los
Angeles to the Pacific northwest,
detectives and theories gave way to
medical and photographic science az
the possible solution of Tallman s
disappearance.
While medical men sought to es-
tablish the identity and cause of
death of a man whose decapitated
body was east up near the Golden
Ferry slips Sunday, marine experts
attempted to determine the trend of
tides the night Tallman disappeared
from the liner Admiral Benson.
Assuming that Tallman left the
ship as it neared its berth here,
either in an effort to swim ashols
or in Il suicide leap, experts from
the United States Geodetic Survey
attempted to determine through
charts where his body would have
been carried by tides.
Although relatives failed to iden-
tify the body as that of Tallman, it
was announced that the measure
ments Of the radio operator cores
pond in many details with those of
the body found near the ferry slips.
Despite the activity of mariners
aud medical men, police gave no
credenee to the theory that the body
was that Of Tallman, and their
search was concentrated on isolated
and drearv stretches of marshes in
the bay region.
The man hunt, which started last
Wednesday night when Captain
Martin Sohst of the Admiral Ben
son led detectives to Tallman s
empty cabin which had served as "A
temporary prison, virtually was at a
standstill
After "A frantic but minute search
had been carried on over every inch
of the vessel, 20 detectives and eli
william aides expressed the opinion
in Portland today that Tallman had
left the ship in San Francisco.
Police however, continued to ac-
cumulate evidence of his romance
with the murdered woman, whose
body was found hanging in the
clothes closet of a Los Angeles apart

COLORADO sTnISjt,-, Colo,
June Il. W.P)-Denial that he had
advocated any coercive legisIa-
tom to force an agreement for oil
conservation was made by Mark
Requa, chairman of President
Hoover s oil conference, when to-
days session opened.
81 have received kilograms from
several parts of the country he
said, criticizing me for an alleg.
ed statement circulated in the press
that l urged coercive legislation to
force an agreement here. You all
know T do not advocate such
methods. What | did advocate was
permissive legislation.
''Until the oil industry has had
full opportunity TO meet its prob
lens, everyone knows any thought
of coercive legislation is unthink-
able from my viewpoint. -
Requa said there was ample
evidence to prove that whenever
the government infringes on an in
dustry the result is unsatisfactory. "
Industry he said, must be
left very largely TO work out its
own problems III its own way. 1t is
not possible to dc all of these
things at the present time.
Requa said the large public meet
ing would end today and the repre-
sentatives of the different states
would gather around conference
table in an effort to see il any
statement of principles could be
worked out.
81 am confident, after listening
TO the speeches here, he said.
THAT we can draw up some sort
of statement. If it is not in the
ultimate form, at least l hope it will
be so far advanced that there can

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June II. UP
Another proposal in the long series
of those which have been set up,
considered, and knocked down by
com missioners from California.
Arizona, and Nevada in an attempt
TO divide the waters of the Colorado
river, was mulled over here today.
1t is the suggestion of George W.
Malone, Nevada engineer and com
missioner. Conferecs considered il
for two hours yesterday in cxecu.
tive session and came from the con
ference room seemingly as divided
as ever.
The new plan, which has replaced,
temporarily at least, the formula
the conference had been consider.
ing, prcsupposes a total Of l2,S00,
600 acre feet of water to be divided
;mong the lower basin states. 1t
'ppropriates, for purposes of alloca-
ion, 100000 acre feet of water
Iivcn to the upper basin, which the
United states Geologic Survey says
hat territory probably never viii
use.
California and Arizona, under
the Malone proposal, would receive
equal apportionments of j,2J0,000
acre feet,--more than was en-
visaged under any plan discussed
by the commissioners in Washing.
ton. Nevada is charted to receive
the 100000 acre feet she has indi
Gated would satisfy her needs.
The first two states would as
sumc "the Mexican burden, -
that is, would take from their al
locations any water Mexico might
be awarded in the future.
When the commissioners left
their closed meeting, Malone said
both Arizona and California had
"'taken the proposal serously.' - He
said he thought it would satisfy the
demands of both.
Explains Plan
Explaining his proposal, Malone
said it realistically took account Of
all water which might be divided.
He then apportioned it into "firm" {"
water-the 100000 acre feet
granted the lower basin under the
Santa Fe compact, t,-and "surplus, "
or what the states have to divide
above their apportionment.
The plan, he pointed out, salts
fled the two salient Arizona re-
quirements, s,-exemption of the Gila
river from the water to be appor-
toned (this water is added to the
total when reapportioned to Ariz-
ona), and provision of enough
water for the Parker-Gila irriga-
tion project.
The proposal, he said, also should
give California enough water for
the all-Anerican canal and the
coastal cities, including Los Ang-
eles.
Commissioner A. II. Favour of
Arizona, however, indicated there
was "not enough water" provided
by the plan to satisfy the demands
of his state. The chief of Califor-
MIA IS commission, John l.. Bacon,
said his state needed 100000 acre
feet of water, at least, as compared
with the 6,250,000 allocated it under
the Malone plan. He admitted Cali
fornia might have to be satisfied
with less than her estimated re.
quirements

 In the homes of inc weIl-to-do il was observed also that great thought and intelligent planning were given 10 the chiIdrrn's meals and a good deal Of concern as to inc amount of food the children consumed was shown by the adults in attendance.
 In the homes Of the poor the ro- verse was true. There was no partic- ular thought given either 10 the planning or to the serving of the children's meals. The children were served with tine rest of the family and the adults were too busy serving and eating their own meals to pay much attention 10 tho children.
 The study is interesting further in that it showed that in spite of the fact that the Wrll-to-do children ate poorly and tho poor children at" we'll, lhr former were in d better state of nutrition than the latter.
