Expedition Into Jangles Is Proposed To Find Redfem By DeWITT MACKENZIE NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—UP)—A two plane expedition into the South America!} jungle to try to find Paul Redferd.'the ycung American avia tor who mysteriously disappeared in August, 1927. while on a non-stop solo flight from Brunswick, Geor gia, to Rio de Janeiro, is being pro jected under the leadership of Art Williams, former United States army pilot. Williams, who has spent many years flying over the Jungle and working in it, said he has collected first-hand information which con vinces him Redfem was living with Indians in the fastnesses of South ern British . Guiana as late as 1931 —four years after his disappearance. Has Been In Bash Williams new lives in Georgetown, British Guiana, and is attached to the British boundary commission, working far south in the bush. He has just made a quick trip to New York in connection with the pro posed expedition, and left yester day for Georgetown, piloting a new amphibian plane—Jungle fly ing necessitates alighting on the rivers. Search has been made for Red fern before, but no adequate ex pedition has been sent into the wilds. Last February Alfred Harred said he and Art Williams had found Redfern and talked with the long lost airman. Williams denied the story and Harred was sentenced to Jail for a proved fake. While in Georgetown. British Guiana, this writer had several > talks with Williams about the pos sibility of finding Redfem alive, and here in substance is the situa tion as the airman outlined it: Redfem was last reported as sighted by the captain of a ship off the north coast of South Amer ica. From the course Redfem had set it appeared that he intended to fly straight across the jungle coun try instead of following the safer, though longer, route along the At lantic coast line. Have UttOM At dawn of the day after Redfern started from Georgia he found him self lost over southern British Guiana and running short of gas, he probably sighted a Savannah and, being wholly unexperienced in jungle flying, though that he could land there and take off again safely. He likely also saw a light or smoke from an Indian fire, which encouraged him to come down. Williams declared he had talked with Indians who said they were in the vicinity where Redfern made his descent onto what he thought was solid ground. The plane appears to have pitched over, and the In dians Indicated that Redfern sus tained at least a broken leg. The native gave Williams to un derstand that they took the injured man into their village and cared for him. According to the Indians, Redfern was still In that neighbor hood .four years after the disas trous landing. Williams even found an Indian who- said he could lead him to where part of the plane was lying. At this juncture, however, the chief of the tribe suddenly imposed silence on his people and further in formation was not forthcoming. It would be impossible for a lone man to make his way hundreds of miles through this "green hell’’ without proper equipment. Indeed, it would be almost suicide to try it without having companions with him. Masked Robbers Steal $250,000 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.—<**>— Three masked men bound the own er and two clerks In a jewelry store today, broke open the safe and es caped with jewelry and cut stones valued by the proprietor In his first estimate at $250,000.
