Fulgencio Batista, commander-in-chief of the army. Major Angel Echevarria and Cap- tain Augustin Erice, commander of the army signal corps, were convicted of participation in the plot in an early morning trial at Camp Colum- bia, outside Havana. The revolt was crushed in Pinar del Rio province before it could get started. It was planned for Septem- ber 4, the anniversary of the rebellion by which Batista, a former sergeant, established himself at the head of the army. Reports that eight enlisted men were shot to death in Pinar del Rio province when the revolt was smashed were denied officially, but several newspapers said they were true. The whirlwind developments saw the conspiracy discovered, thwarted, the suspects arrested and tried within the space of 24 hours.

Hunt for Brooklyn - ’ Bandits in Jersey New York, Aug. 23.—(#)—The drive Statement by Commerce Head Is Answer to Critics of the Administration ASSURES BUSINESS MEN Declares Private Enterprise Is Getting Back on Its Feet After Apathy Washington, Aug. 23.—(?)—Secre- tary Roper, declaring that business definitely is on the upgrade, has in- formed the. nation that the Roosevelt administration stands for “just profits.” His statement that the government. believes in the private profit motive was regarded as an answer to critics and reassurance to business men. The commerce department head said: “Private enterprise is getting back upon its own feet, and more and more is exerting its initiative and is able to relieve the federal government of responsibilities which under nor- mal conditions belong to business. “The Roosevelt administration is squarely behind this principle. It be- lieves in just profits for management and capital and an equitable return to labor for its rightful rewards in the economic processes.” Roper said the depression had con- vinced all thinking people that fundamental reforms are necessary if the American system of bus! society and government is to be main- tained. “No thinking businessman desires to have the old order restored,” he said. “He does desire and is entitled to have the new order characterized by a better control against economic cataclysms and by the freedom to ex- ercise his initiative in planning for the future of his business in the light of an equitable profit system.” The secretary, contending that “business is better than busi- ness sentiment,” said “if business courage were equal to the business statistics we would be in need of con- troling a real business boom.” “Many corporations,” he added, “are showing this in renewed dividends from recent profits; ancther evidence is found in the fact that the recon- struction finance corporation has been paid back 42 per cent of all the loans it has made to business.” In his discussion of the “profit mo- tive,” Roper said: “When you come to analyze econo- mic conditions, wages represent the profit of the worker, salaries repre- sent the profit of executives, and a re- turn on actual capital invested or money borrowed in order to create goods or services represents profit on capital. “The government and the people have, however, asked that certain profit abuses shall be discontinued. There has been legitimate objection to such things as unfair profits, as for example, profits on watered stock or salaries which are out of proportion to services rendered.” 0,000 SUCCUMB IN STATE DURING 1933 Fargo Has Largest Toll, Man- dan and Williston Lowest Among Cities More than 5,000 persons died in North Dakota during 1933, according to the annual report of the state health department. Fargo, largest city in the state, had the largest number of deaths with a total of 375. Mandan and Williston were cities that recorded the least number of deaths, each with a total of 78. Of the 5,436 deaths, 3,198 were males, and 2,238 were females. White persons who died totaled 5,215, there were 207 deaths recorded among Indians, and 14 Negro deaths. Death totals in the cities of state for 1933 were: Goldsboro, N. C., Aug. 23—(7)— Hollow-eyed and dejected R. H. Askew, 28-year old self ordained disciple of Aimee Semple McPher- son, faced Thursday a charge of sending ransom notes through the mails, after confessing, officers said, that his “kidnaping” was a hoax.

Avowedly non-partisan and “not anti-Roosevelt,” it set out to command all possible influence in the warming debate over whether the administra- tion is “robbing Peter to pay Paul.” At the head stand leaders in both major parties popularly identified as “conservatives,” Alfred E. Smith and John W. Davis, Democrats, who lost the presidency to Hoover and Cool- idge; James W. Wadsworth and Na- than L, Miller, Republican strong-men in New York. Already there are rumblings of “Liberal” arraignment of the move that Jouett Shouse announced Wed- nesday night as one to combat “radi- celism.” It was he who described the as “not anti-Roosevelt,” but rather intended to serve as a forum and a force before congress for those who want to guard their personal and Property rights. A week ago he told President Roose- velt about it, in words like these: “The league will become a real fac- tor in assisting toward recovery and the restoration of prosperous con- ditions for all our people.” ‘That the president hardly would take exception to the announced goal is accepted. It also is certain he is aware of the political potentialities. Purposes Are Two-Fold The league's purposes are two-fold under the heading: “To defend and protect the constitution of the United Data will be disseminated to . “The necessity of :espect for the rights of and property as fundamental to every successful form of government;” and 2. “The duty of government to en- courage and protect individual and gtoup initiative and cnterprise, to foster the right to work, earn, save, and acquire property, and to pre- serve the ownership and lawful use of Property when acquired.” Shouse, who is to be elected presi- dent when the executive committee has been raised to about 18, disclosed that seven divisions wil! be set up for membership drive in every state. The only other man known to be a member besides Shouse, Smith, Davis, 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 property owners; ge Aim of AAA | IDESPREAD LOANS 10 ROGAIN PARITY FOR AGRICULTURE Return of Prices of 1909 to 1914 Is Goal Aimed at by Administration LENDING TO BE EXTENDED Farmers Would Retain Posses- sion of Crops Until Prices Hit Set Mark ‘Washington, Aug. 23. — (7) — The AAA, which has set the farm prices of 1909 to 1914 as a goal to shoot at, may seek to use widespread loans on commodities as its ammunition. The prices of the pre-war years, the rela- tively golden age of American agri- culture, are called “parity” prices. Recent moves to increase cotton Joans to 12 cents and extend corn loans to January 1, 1935, were regard- ed as a bridge between the present loan policy and a new one to be in- cluded in the feed storage bill to be submitted to the next congress. The measure would allow the AAA to extend its lending to other crops than corn and cotton, officials believe. By lifting the loan value of com- modities gradually while maintaining @ production control to prevent sur- pluses some Officials think the govern- ment could create a level of farm in- \come thoughout the year which would There is some dissension on the point within the AAA. Some officials Say the plan resembles too closely the operations of the federal farm board. Proponen's answer that it differs from farm board buying in that farm- ers retain actual possession of their crops, and that production control gives assurance that prices can be maintained at or near the loan values. Another possibility foreseen by of- ficials is that 1935 wheat acreage may be curtailed 2,000,000 or more acres below normal production. Farm add- ministration men were seriously con- sidering continuation of wheat pro- duction control, although modifying this year's 15 per cent slash.
