Secretary Hyde, representatives of the reconstruction corporation, and of the federal farm loan banks will par- ticipate at Friday's meeting. Hoover's message sent Wednesday follows: “You will be glad to know that I have secured a preliminary discussion among Eastern mortgage concerns and governmental agencies upon the ques- tion of farm mortgages. “As @ result, Mr. Henry Robinson, chairman of the executive committee of the federal reserve banking and industrial committees, has arranged for a further meeting of members of those committees for the Midwest dis- tricts together with representatives of mortgage agencies at the Federal Reserve bank in Chicago tomorrow. It is to be followed by a more extended meeting on Friday. “In order that we may have full coordination of governmental: agencies the Secretary of Agriculture and Rep- resentatives of the Reconstruction corporation and the federal farm loan banks will participate in these meet- ings with other mortgage agencies. I am very hopeful that constructive steps will follow from these confer- ences.” MIGHT ee SAYS WHITE Washington, Sept. 29—(7)—At the white house Thursday it was said that if the distress in other farm sections proved comparable to that in certain wheat-growing regions, the partial moratorium on {corm me of sop oduction loans to grain farmers an- Touma Wednesday might be ex- tended. ‘Walter H. Newton, one of the presi- dent's secretaries, told newspapermen the action was taken particularly in regard to wheat farmers because of the distress shown to exist particular- ly in the Dakotas and eastern Mon- tana, where, he sald, crops have been blighted for at least one or two sea- sons past. In Fresponse to questions, Newton said if it was shown producers of such products as cotton and had suffered to such an extent as some of the wheat farmers, he had no doubt the partial lum. would be ex- tended to them. Storm Death Toll showed 197 killed and 1,857 injured. Antonio Silva, manager of the San Juan Red Cross chapter, said that in addition to the dead and injured he had found so far 8,883 homes were destroyed, 11,215 damaged and that: 75,000 persons were temporarily homeless. Silva reported the zone of greatest damage from Cebia to Isabella in the northwest.

BELIEVE AMERICAN GUNMEN MAY HAVE MURDERED CUBANS Plot For Wholesale A sina-! tion of Leaders Uncover- ed at Havana Havana, Sept. 29.—(4)—The pos- | suspension of 1932 crop loan payments sibility American gang gunmen may have invaded Cuba with ultra-mod- ern methods of slaughter was being investigated by police Thursday in their effort to clear up the slaying of five political leaders here Tuesday. ‘They based their theory on the fact that Dr. Clemente Vazquez Bello, president of the Cuban senate, friend of President Machado and prospec- tive presidential candidate for next Year, was slain much in the American gang manner: He was cut down by a rain of bul- lets from an automobile which roar- ed up beside the car in which he was riding, indicating, police said, a sub- machine gun was used by the killers. The marks of modernistic crime were not so clear in the slaying of the other four opposition leaders, however. Three brothers, Gonzalo, Leopoldo, and Guillermo Freyre De Andrade were slain within their resi- dence by a gang which rushed into the house, shot them down, and rushed out again. Miguel Angel Aguiar, the fourth oppositionist slain, was shot down when he went to the door of his home to meet the-killers: A sécond plot, which police said might have resulted in wholesale deaths of the family and friends of government officials, was uncovered by police Wednesday in the discovery of a huge dynamite bomb planted in Colon cemetery near the spot where it originally was reported Dr. Vazquez Bello would be buried. All the employes of the cemetery, numbering nine or 10, were arrested and held for investigation. Explosives experts Thursday uncovered 23 sep- arate mines containing more than 300 pounds of dynamite, all con- trolled by an electrical switch eight blocks away in a Chinese cemetery. ‘There was enough explosive to have blown the whole funeral cortege to decorations, composed of Theodore Quanrud, B.

Persons having such material are requested to call Reid, superintendent of the state historical society, who will issue receipts for them and guar. antee their safe return following their display. Members of the capitol commission will meet here Oct. 6 for a business session and probably will remain in Bismarck until after the cornerstone laying, Fred L.

State police and armed citizens then pur- sued them to a swamp near James- town, west of here, but again they Declare Administration Discrim- inates in Favor of North- west Farmer Washington, Sept. 29—(#)—Parti- cipation by southern cotton and to- bacco growers in the 75 per cent accorded wheat farmers Wednesday was demanded of the administration. It was sought by Senator Smith (Dem., 8. C.) who charged “glaring | sectional and partisan discrimination” | after the white house Wednesday had announced northwestern grain pro- ducers would have to repay only 25 per cent of their production loans falling due in November. “I shall insist,” the veteran Demo- cratic senator said, “that the cotton and tobacco growers, who owe the government on crop loans, shall be given the same treatment that is now given the wheat grower, and if it is not given, public opinion, based on equity and justice, will uphold them in refusing to pay any more and under different terms than that granted the wheat growers.” Smith, ranking Democrat on the senate agriculture committee, said in his statement after the white house announcement the cotton and tobac- co growers were in just as distressing conditions as wheat farmers. He add- ed: “Unfortunately” these: two are grown almost exclusively in the south and the south is almost ex- clusively democratic. Even if it were not the intent of the administration in making this order to so discrim- inate, it lays itself liable to justifi- abie criticism.” The administration had announced that “present low prices make it Practically impossible for wheat farmers to repay their crop produc- tion loans without incurring grave risk of need during the winter.” In the cotton and tobacco areas, however, the agriculture department said, prices higher than last year's should enable borrowers to meet their | Payments, though from these sections ; also applications for extensions have been received.

The re- mainder is distributed largely in cot- ton and tobacco regions. The administration plan leaves to the next session of congress the de- cision upon what terms the suspended Te ee Cent of seed loans shall be re- Paid. MONTANA GOVERNOR | SAYS PLAN ‘TIMELY’ Helena, Mont., Sept. 29.—()—The plan announced by the administra- tion for payment of farmers’ seed loans was described as “very timely” by Governor J. E.

He immediately began to recon- struct the cabinet on national lines. Sir John Gilmour, conservative, was jmoved from the post of minister of agriculture to the home secretary- ship, vacated by Sir Hervert Samuel. leader of the Liberals who refused to accept the tariff proposals con- tained in the trade agreements reach- ed at the recent Ottawa trade con- ference, Major Walter Elliot, conservative, was named minister of agriculture and Sir Godfrey Collins, liberal, was given the post of secretary for Scot- land vacated by Sir Archibald Sin- clair, liberal. In the meantime, the resignations seemed to have widened the rift in the Liberal party which began over the formation of the national cabinet last fall. “We are not quitters,” Walter Run- ciman, liberal and president of the board of trade, told a meeting of na- tional liberal members of the house of commons which congratulated him and Sir John Simon, foreign secre- tary, for declining to follow the other liberals out of the cabinet. Thirty of the 35 so-called “Simon liberals” in the house attended the meeting. A resolution was passed declaring they would continue to support the MacDonald government. Their action set at rest rumors that the liberals would unite again on the free trade issue and oppose the gov- ernment.
