HOOVER O NPEE RESLTSOF FLOOD Plans to Leave Washington| Friday on Comprehensive Tour of Inundated Area. Secretary Hoover will leave Wash. ington next Friday to begin a com- prehensive inspection tour of the flood area in the interest of rehabilitation and reconstruction work in the Mis- siskippi Valley. This trip. one of a series made by the Commerce Secretary since his ap- pointment by the President as director general of the Nation's flood reliel organization, will affor r. Hoover the first of unity since the flood of making a_palnstaking personal sur- vey of the after-effects of the disaster. He will make the tour by train wherever possible, and in certain places will resort to automobiles in order to obtain a firsthand view of conditions since recession of the waters. It is expected the trip will consume about 10 days. much of which time will be spent in stricken Louisiana. Side Trip Considered. His tentative itinerary begins at Little Rock, Ark., and includes Me- Gehee and Arkaneas City in Arkansas; |2ARARZEAARRE Vogue, McCall and But- terick Patterns will help you plan yowr Fall ward- robe. The very smartest— the very newest styles—and so easy to follow! Alexandria, Marksville, Lafavette, S\l. N nsville, Breaux Bridge, Opelousas, Melville and Baton Rouge in Louisiana; Vicksburg, Natchez, Greenville and Jackson, in Mississippi, and finally New Orleans. g 1t is possible that Mr. Hoover will make a short visit to Memphis and thence go on a “side trip” into the flood-scarred St. Francis Basin. A brief visit also may be made to St. Louis during early stages of the trip. One of the interesting features of the “‘expedition” will be an automobile journey into the Bayou des Glaises section, which was just going under water upon the occasion of the Secre- tary's previous visit to Louisiana’s “sugar bowl.” Secretary Hoover will go into a sorely tried country not yet freed en- tirely of the water and mud which ewept over it this Summer in the worst flood in American history. Flood waters still cover approximately 169, 550 acres of agricultural lands in the valley, according to a recent report to the American Red Cross. Of this land there are 130,100 acres in Louisi- ana, 21,000 in Mississippl, 10,000 in ‘Arkansas and 8,450 in Illinais. 2,000 in Refugee Camps. Refugee camps operated by the Red Cross are sheltering approximately 2,000 persons whose homes still are under water, while about 129,491 per- sons are being cared for outside of the camps. All but four of the 138 camps which were established during the height of the flood have been closed and the emergency relief pro- gram has been concluded in all States but Louisiana. Rehabilitation work has gone for- ward rapidly with the decline of the water. A total of 80,000 families have received ald under the rehabilitation program mapped out by Secretary Hoover and the Red Cross, this as. sistance including granting of feed and seed with which to resume farm- ing. To date about 2,170,078 acres of Jand have been reclaimed from the flood and replanted in cotton, sugar cane, soy beans and other “cash” crops. Accompanying Secretary Hoover will be Vice Chairman James L. Fieser of the Red Cross, Capt. L. A. Pick of the Army Engineers and George Akerson, assistant to Mr. Hoover. . FACILITIES URGED FOR JOURNALISTS International Press Conference In- sists Newspaper Men Want In- dependence Untouched. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, Switzerland, August 27.— A resolution was adopted by the Inter- national Press Conference today in- sisting that all facilities should be granted to journalists in order to permit them to fulfill their task as purveyors of knowledge to the pub- lic more thoroughly and more rapidly. It carries a stipulation, however, that newspaper men want no favors which infringe the independence of the press or interfere with the free- dom and judgment of writers. ‘Another resolution advocates col- lective travel tours of journalists in forelgn countries, but urges that to avoid abuse, the organization of such_tours should be closely super- vised. Still another decision was for the establishment or mainte- nance of university institutions for journalists, with the warning that such institutions should not con- stitute a means of influencing young journalists or giving them deliber- ately a definite political orlentation. ‘Additional resolutions recommend- ed scholarships for journalists in order to study conditions in foreign lands and favored a system of is- suance of international identity cards for journalists either by the League of Nations or the ministry of foreign affairs of the country of which the writer is a citizen.
