WORLD FLIERS
TO BE FINED
BY JAPANESE
TOKYO. Aug. 14. (£*)—A Rengo
hews agency said today it had been
informed that the public procurator
had decided to refer the case of
Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon
Jr. American fliers accused of
photographing fortified Japanese
areas to the district court with the
recommedation that the aviators be
fined.
The news agency understood the
fliers would be charged with viola-
tion of the civil aviation act and the
fortified sone regulations but indi-
cated the amount of the fine to be
imposed had not yet been decided.
Fine Set Saturday.
8ome vernacular newspape-s
speculated the fine might be as high
as 3000 yen )$l500l. Others suggest-
ed a fey hundred yen. A formal an-
rouneement of the procurator's rec-
ommendation was expected tomor-
row.
With this development the series
of mishaps which have followed the
Americans since they set out from
New York on a projected globe-
girdling flight that was to better
the time made bv Harold Gatty i
Jnd Wiley Post has now reached
most serious stage.
The photographs are alleged *o
have been taken as the two flew
from Khabarovsk Sib. to Tokyo to
begin a trans-Paciftc flight after J
their around-the-world flight ended
in the Asiatic village.
The fliers have been questioned at
length since officials discovered a
motion picture camera in their plan-
after they arrived without permit
in Tokyo Aug. 6.
Maintain Innocence.
Pangborn and Herndon stoutly
contended their innocence asserting
they took pictures while flying over
Japan not realizing they were abo-r
a fortified area. They admitted thev
took photographs of Sampar.i
(Japanese Boats* on the Japan sea.
Japanese officials were inclined to
take a humorous view of the affair
until the discovery of the camera.
Revulations prohibiting the phot->-
graphing of fortified areas in Japan
are extremely strict. They provide
for confiscation of the equipment
used and a prison sentence of not
more than three years.
Although newspapers and pres;
associations gave various reports re-
garding the developed motion pi-'-1
tures nc official statement ever was
made. The Tokyo Asahl said part
of the film showed what was be-
lieved by war department officials
to be pictures of fortified are.ts.
while other newspapers said the p’.c- j
fi res were taken at such great height
as to make them imposible to di3-1
tlnguish.
Punishment Sought.
\ The case attracted wide attention
I in this country Delegations resolu-
tions and petitions were made to I
the various government ministries
4 patriotic delegations demanding
♦k. t no leniency be shown.
American officials took steps to
aid the fliers.
This was the second such Inci-
dent. Dairen newspapers recently
declared three United States Navy
fliers from the fleet off Chefoo
China flew over the Kwangtung
leased territory fortifications and
explained to the Japanese consul
nt Tsingtao his men had become lost
while cruising and the flight ov»r
the fortifications had been inadver-
tent.

PACT FILED
A perpetual Injunction restrain-
ing the Willacy County Water

from the Rio Grande in such a
manner as to prove a detriment to
the admitted prior right of the La
Feria district or as to hinder the
La Feria district in the exercise of
that right is contained in the
agreed judgment filed Thursday in
the district court of Judge A. M.
Kent.
The litigation between the two

ment entered Thursday is as fol-

La Feria district and that this
right is superior to every right
which the Willacy district lias to
UN waters of the Ru Grande for
Irrigation or other purposes and to
enforce this agreement the Willacy
district is perpetually enjoined
from taking water from the Rio
Grande in such manner or at such
time or place as will be a detriment
to the La Feria district's superior
right or will prevent delay or
hinder the La Feria district in the
exercise of its right.
It was agreed that the Willacy
county district is the owuier of
Water Permit No. 1110 issued by
the state board of water engineers;
that this permi is in full force and
effect and constitutes the only
right of the Willacy district to
divert water from the Rio Grande
which right is in no event to be
•xercised in such manner as to in-
jure. impair or otherwise effect the
La Feria districts superior right
to use water from the Rio Grande
for the reasonable irrigation of all
ands of the district.
The Willacy county district rec-
igni/ed and wdmitted its legal
)bligation to build use and oper-
ite its main canal in strict ac-
•ordance with the terms of Permit
1110 and in such manner and with
«dl precautions as not to cause
njury waste damage or destruc-
icn to the La Feria district's irri-
jation system or to the lands of
he district by seepage and per-
colation of waters from the Wil-
acy countj district's canals and
litches. and to enforce this right.

illy enjoined from using the canal

TUGS TOW BIG DOCK
FOR 13.000 MILES
LONDON—What Is said to be
the world s record towing job will
be performed by two tugs which
will set out for New Zealand short- j
ly with a huge floating dock.
The dock weighing 17.000 tons
and over 584 feet long will cover
I 13.000 miles before it reaches its
.'destination. It was made for the
i Wellington Harbor Board.
A similar towing job had to be
undertaken in the case of the
Singapore dock. The larger of the
two sections of this dock which
was Urvcd through the Suez Canal
three years ago. was not quite so
long as the Wellington dock but it
required expert maneuvering to get
it to Singapore in safety.

CUBAN REVOLT
LULLS; PEACE
SEEMS NEAR
HAVANA Aug. While
Pres. Gerardo Machado was believ-
ed to be negotiating a truce addi-
tional troops were on the way to
Santa Clara province today to deal
with the insurgent forces.
Four cars of soldiers. Including
one machine gun detachment left
the central station last night un-
der command of Maj. Francisco
Fernandez de Lara Pres. Machado
went to Santa Clara yesterday.
The governor of Santa Clara re-
ported the rebels had burned the
United Railways station at Agab-
ama and had blown up the bridge
over the Guaracabuva river. They
cut telegraph lines between Fomen-
to and Baez and seized a quantity
of arms retiring before the arrival
of federal troops sent to check their
movements.
Fighting Lulls
The pa’ace refused to say when
the president would return and no
news of his efforts filtered through.
Army headquarters said they hau
fet with signal successes in minor
encounters during the last two
days. A scarcity of dispatches from
the provinces indicated there was a
lull in the fighting.
The gunboat Baire. which was
said to have gone over to the reb-
els. returned and th** officers scof-
fed at reports of their desertion.
They had in tow the yacht Coral
on which former Pres. Menocal. re-
puted revolt leader was at first be- \
iieved to be hiding. Three members
of the yacht's crew were Impris-
oned.
Federal* Fortunate
Col. Emiliano Amlel. military
commander In Santa Clara was
reported to have offered amnesty
to all insurgents who laid down
their arms within 24 hours. He was
quoted as saying federal troops had
met thPir adversaries 22 times since
the movement ftarted last Sunday
—all with “good fortune.”
Three more deaths in battle
brought the unofficial count of
mortalities to 66 these occurred in
Pinar Del Rio and Contrameste.
The government claimed it had suf-
fered only one dead but the op-
oositionists asserted there had been
! many loyalist losses.
