MACHADD ADMITS BURDEN 700 MUCH Beaten Fugitive Confesses| He No Longer Cares What Happens in Cuba. (Copyright. 1034, by the Associated Press.) LE HAVRE, France, December 8.— | Gerardo Machado “No longer cares what happens in Cuba or anywhere 1se.” < The one - time dictator - presi- dent of the island republic, fleeing Cuba’s “efforts to extradite and try him for crimes she charges he committed dur- ing his eight years in power, arrived at Le Havre today aboard the Ger- man steamer, Frieda Horn, to break his long si- lence and say: | “I'm worn out. I'm a very sick man. I don't care what happens in Cuba or anywhere in the world, and I am going to Germany only to try to regain my health.” Goes Sightseeing. Machado left the ship here to go| sightseeing with the little party of | refugees from revolution that accom- panied him when he sailed from the Dominican Republic, his most re- cent place of haven. 18 days ago. He was leaning heavily on his cane, clinging tightly to the arm of his| personal physician and former secre- | tary of agriculture, Eugenio Molinet All the 18 days of the passage on| the little ship he was seasick, Ma- chado said. He was seriously ill in the Dominican Republic, spending a month in bed. Even here precautions were taken to protect the former President against the assassination he must have feared ever since that day in August 1933, when his army turned against him and he fled Cuba by airplane while revolution raged in the streets of Havana and his supporters were struck down without me: Gerardo Machado, Remains Late in Cabin. Officials of the Surete Nationale climbed the gangplank when the boat docked and talked to Machado in his state room. They refused, however, to give their reasons for the interview. A detective was left before the door when the officials departed. Machado kept to his cabin while the boat unloaded, emerging later to 100k over the city. Molinet. who has accompanied the former President on his wanderings, denied reports that Machado had been poisoned in the Dominican Republic, saying he suffered from stomach trouble. | “That is why he came to Europe, to take the water cure,” the pyhsician said. | He asserted Machado had not de- cided whether to stay in Germany | when he lands at Hamburg or go on | to Italy. | In answer to the charges of murder | Cuba filed against him shortly after he | was deposed in 1933, Machado sald’ “the only ambition I have in the world | is for the independence of Cuba.” | | Denies He Was Poisoned. | “T did all in my power for it when I | was president.” he said. “I cannot speak of the present situatio. in Cuba because I have been out of contact | with thirgs due to this long voyage | and my lengthy illness. I was in bed & month in Santo Domingo. ! “It is not true that T was poisoned. I nave been a very sick man. but my illness was an intestinal infection due to perfectly natural causes “I am not sure yet ex: wili stay. I cannot s whether I will go to Italy. present I intend to take cure in Germany. “T am grateful to the United States and for the hospitality it has shown | my wife.

CHICAGO, December 8.—Popular elections of judges in the United States was pronounced unsatisfactory by Gov. Paul V. McNutt of Indiana tonight in an address sponsored by ond, that this is a lay threat against the American Bar Association. Although the country has been com- mitted since the first quarter of the nineteenth centry to popular choice of State and local judges, Gov. McNutt said the policy had been called “America’s most colossal blunder in | statecraft.” He traced the multiplication of of boards and commissions to efforts of the people to meet needs unsatis- fied by the administration of justice, and said: “The present situation clearly brings out four points: First, that the actual been passing from the courts to administra- tive boards and commissions; sec- legal authority; third, that the legal profession must formulate in legal principles the results of administra- tive experience in order to prevent our Government from becoming a Govern- ment of men and not of laws; and fourth, that the legal profession must make a critical examination of judi- cial organization and administration with a view to adapting them to the changing needs of society.” COPPER PARLEY CALLED will International Conference Consider Output Slash. NEW YORK, December 8 (#).—An- other international conference of cop- | per producers to discuss the question of curtailing output will be held here around the middle of January, it was said in copper circles today. It is expected that the parley | will bring together the leading for- | eign producers. It has been reported | that a tentative understanding has been reached between English and Belgian interests to reduce production in Africa. The failure of African producers to reach an agreement was largely re- sponsible for the failure of the inter- national conference held here in 1932.

Duck hunters, discouraged this year | by the scarcity of ducks, may luok; to the future with optimism, accord- | ing to J. Ding Darling, noted car- toonist, and now chief of the United | States Biological Survey. Huge water- fowl refuges are to be established by the Biological Survey with a view to replenishing the birds wiped out in vast areas by drought, he said. Speaking over the radio on The Evening Star's Rod and Stream pro-| gram Friday, Darling explained that | $8,500,000, provided from various re- | lief and emergency appropriations, | has been placed at the disposal of the | survey. With the aid of these funds, the| survey plans to acquire and develop waterfowl refuges on the breeding | grounds and flyways of waterfowl, in a national resortation program which already is well under way. The plan is to conserve remaining stocks of breeding birds which again can occupy the drought-swept areas THE AIRPORT. fitting Gruen. case, 15-jewel movement C, DECEMBER 9, in the North Central and Northwest- ern States when rain comes again. 400,000 Acres to Be Used. Contracts already have been se- cured, Darling said, for more than 400,000 acres to be used in the con- servation program. He expressed the hope this acreage will be more than doubled before the program is com- pleted. A considerable portion of the ground is in the Northern plains States and includes large areas formerly oc- cupied as breeding grounds by sev- eral species most favored by hunters. In that region the survey plans to restore at least 300,000 acres of water and marsh areas with a view to build- ing up the water fowl population of this formerly great natural breeding ground from which, Darling said, the birds formerly migrated to almost every part of the country. Drought during the past Summer, however, caused the area to dry up. And, it was indicated by Darling, the survey now plans to undo the harm done. Dikes to Be Constructed. The average size of the refuges will be in excess of 20,000 acres. As the areas are acquired they will be developed by the construction of dikes, ditches and by others means to im- pound or stabilize water and improve environment conditions, All efforts of the survey will be seriously hampered, however, it is pointed out! unless hunters strictly observe the game laws. He said funds from the migratory bird hunting stamp issue have enabled the survey to more than double its field enforce- ment personnel and to inaugurate a regional supervision that will help ' enforcement operations.

Denies 83 Units Locked Because of Labor Row. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 8.—Doors of chain stores estimated by police to number 83 will be locked in New York City after tonight by the James Butler Grocery Co., with police on guard to prevent possible trouble. A police order tonight directed offi- cers in the five buroughs to “protect and safeguard persons and property” at the closed stores, a few hours after the Butler Co.<had dendied that a recent labor dispute involving its em- ployes had anything to do with the closing. “The James Butler Grocery Co. is closing some of its stores for purely economical reasons and for no other reasons,” said Col. Alfred J. L'Heureux, company counsel. Order Sent to Police. Chief Inspector John J. Seery, in sending the police message to borough commanding officers, said the com- pany had decided to close “unproduc- tive” stores because of a reorganiza- tion. However, the message ordered spe- cial attention to the stores. The m said the discon- tinued stores included 8 in Manhattan, 3 in the Bronx, 1 in Richmond, 25 in Brooklyn and 14 in Queens and Long Island. A telephone book listing shows 120 Butler stores in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. There was no estimate from the company of the number of employes who might be affected. Labor Poll Taken. The Butler Co. only recently be- came involved in a labor controversy with the Chain Store Executives’ and Employes’ Association, an American Federation of Lahor affiliate. A poll of Butler employes, taken in the offices of the Regional Labor Board to de- termine whether the union should act as their spokesman in collective bar- gaining, showed 480 in favor of union representation and 375 opposed. How= ever, the Butler Co. denied it ever had agreed to abide by the result of such a poll. This was disputed by Mrs. Elinore M. Herrick, Labor Board director.

PORTLAND, Oreg., December 8.— Six fruit jars crammed with $30,000 in bills found by Federal agents on the banks of the Lewis River in Washing- ton, brought to $124,000 today the money recovered from the $200,000 ransom paid for the release of Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma oil millionaire. ‘The money, cunningly hidden in brush, was found a few hours after Alvin H. Scott and his housekeeper, Margaret Hurtienne, had abandoned their fight against removal to Okla- homa to face charges of conspiracy in the Urschel kidnaping case. Special agents of the Department of Justice uncovered the cache, but re- fused to disclose the steps taken on the clue that led them to the kidnap- ers’ treasure. Clara Feldman, reputed wife of one of the kidnapers, and her husband, Ed Feldman, were known to have been taken from their Multnomah County | Jail cells, where they were awaiting | removal to Oklahoma, and were gone several hours.
