(Exclusive) We had a tough time out there over the Pacific, 1000 miles or more from We fought fog and poisonous gas which was eo strong that my navigator, Harold Gatty. fainted several times and even our engine stopped now and thrn. But we struggled on. determined to reach Tacoma on the first nonstop flight Irom Japan to the United States, until finally we had to concede that unless we turned back death--was Inevitable. And so we headed back for Japan, and here we are after a desperate battle.

STILL DETERMINED Nobody cou'd be as deeply disappointed as Gatty end I that we had to return after covering 60 many difficult miles. We had been so certain of success We are both heartbroken. But we are not discouraged. Gatty and I consider title flight as a game of billiards. We called the shot and we called it nonstop and we cannot consider ourselves at all successful until we set our plane down in Tacoma.

We are going to try It again and make It! We know It can be done and we know we are going to do It! We got away beautifully with our heavily loaded plane. City of Tacoma, Sunday morning, (It was Saturday afternoon back home.) We throttled our motor down to 1800 revolutions, unusually low for such a load.

15. (Ex-elusive) Nineteen western oil com panies accused eight months ago of a conspiracy to restrain trade in the 1928 gasoline-price war signed a consent decree with the government in Federal Judge St. Sure's court today and accepted an in Junction against any future agree ment relative to gasoline prices. Government action followed when independent dealers complained the large companies were conspiring to fix Terms of the decree en tered cover virtually every assertion made in the civil suit filed against the companies last February. Briefly, the oil companies are en Joined: (1) From carrying on the con splracy charged, or any other of like character.

(2) From agreeing to fix uniform or noncompetitive prices for gasoline. (3) From increasing or decreasing prices by agreement (4) From refusing to sell to any retailer on the Pacific Coast because that reseller has refused to sell gasoline to the public at prices fixsd by the defendant companies. From posting prices arrived at by agreement 16) From applying Rule 17 of the national code of practices for marketing refined petroleum products, as a means of fixing the retail prlc. of gasoline. No company is enjoined from refusing to sell to a retailer if such refusal is not made pursuant to an agreement with another, company.

The decree also cancels all agreements between the companies and F. It. Long, Los Angeles, author of the "Long agreement," and the only individual other than a company named as defendant. Finally, the decree specifically reserves Jurisdiction to the court that it may enforce any violation by summary contempt proceedings. John H.

Amen and Albert J. Law, special assistants to the Attorney-General, said the decree was effected to prevent exhausting litigation and to afford immediate relief to the independents. Originally Amen and Law started criminal proceedings January 13, but they were abandoned and the civil suit followed the next month. The present decree affects only interstate commerce and is not related to any present gasoline prices. Defendants besides Long were the Standard Oil Company of California, Richfield Oil Company, Shell Oil Company.

Made Years Meteorologist Declares Next Decade tcill be Wetter in California Prediction for Long Period Based on Trend of Sun Spots SAN DIEGO, Sept. 15. (Exclusive There Is indication that California will enjoy a greater rainfall during the decade from 1930 to 1940 than has been recorded in the ten years from 1920 to 1930, according to announcement by Dr. A.

F. Gorton, associate In meteorology at the University of California Scripps Institute of Oceanography. He has just Issued a mimmary of attempts to forecast seasonal precipitation In California, and their relation to electric power production. Dr. Gorton has Joined Dr.

George P. MeEwen. Drofessor of physical oceanography at the institution, ia efforts to work out a oasis lor malting seasonal forecasts of rainfall. FORECAST DESIRABLE "From the standpoint of water supply and power production," sets forth Dr. Gorton in his summary, "it is desirable to be able to forecast with some accuracy the rainfall of extended periods, such as five to ten years.

In considering projects such as Boulder Dam it Is es sential to have an estimate of precipitation for the next lorty or fifty years, it loilows that any method of forecasting for a period of years, such as Is possible from a consider ation or cycles, is of considerable importance. "With reference to the nrecipita- tion of the coming decade, 1930-40, it appears likely from the present trend of sun-spot numbers and the decidedly deficient rainfall of the last fifteen years, that wetter years are In prospect for California. BASED ON ELEMENTS "Attempts to predict for "a vear at a time or for a quarter season must necessarily be based on the observed trend of meteorological ele ments in various parts of the world during the preceding quarter or six montns. This statement, of, course, predicates a dominance or control exercised by distant centers of action upon the weather of other regions. However, there Ls eood evi dence that such a control exists, as shown by the success of the Indian-monsoon predictions, seasonal forecasts for Java and by the very recent correlation "of winter tempera, tures In Central Canada with antecedent conditions in India.

"By a process of elimination it has been shown that certain indices nave a significant bearimr on the precipitation of California, but more especially on that of Southern Cali- lornia. ot these the most out standing at present Is the average summer temperature of coastal waters at two stations in the south, Hueneme (Oxnard) and La Jolla Comparing these with the precipitation records, it Is found that the correlation coefficient has a value of .84, with a record of nine successful forecasts In twelve years."
