Basic Industries Slow With Codes?Johnson Relies on the Women. By EDWARD W. PICKARD CUT.A, recovering from lis spasm of revolution, begun to settle back Into normal living under its new pro visional President. Carlos Manuel de President De Cespedes Cespeues. " ic 1 i u n g and looting, that pre vailed for several days accompanying the ousting of the M a c li a d o regime, yeased in the main, though the pursuit and capture or slaughter of porristas was contin ued, The long suffer ing Cubans were de termined to wipe out all those murderous m e m b e-r s of Ma ehnrto's secret ponce, ur. ue v^espeues appointed his cabinet ministers, most of them belonging to the ABC or the Nationalist party, and they were sworn in. The President himself took the post of secretary of state. Castillo Pokorny was made minister of war and Col. Krasmo Deigado, leader of the mil itary coup that forced Machado to flee, was appointed military comman der of Havana. Machado, who fled to Nassau In the Bahamas by airplane, accompanied by several of his closest friends, was re ported to have taken with him several million dollars though he left behind even his clothing. His wife and other members of the family escaped the vengeance of the mobs by taking u gunboat yacht to Key West, Fla., whence they expected to go to New York and later to Paris. The ex-dictator said he probably would remain in Nassau and would not Interfere with developments In Cuba. No one would even intimate that the Roosevelt administration fomented the auti Machado revolution, but the State department in Washington cer tain!} knew in adrahce just about what was going to happen in Cuba. It knew Machado would be ousted, and that he would be succeeded by De Ces poilcs. Ambassador Welles was In close touch with the revolutionaries And was apprised of their plans. As slrtant Secretary of State Caffery was 1: ;<t informed and approved each step taken, and President Roosevelt appar ently let him and Mr. Welles work out the problem themselves. The Cubans selected De Cespedes for the Presi <1 'T. hut he received the O. K. of offl r 'I Washington before being named. Ike islanders were not coerced In any vby the United States, however, nnd the three American warships that were sent to Havana and Manzanlllo were sent only to protect American lives and property. What part in the revolution was I'h .vd by the National City Bank of -eu ^ ork and Klectric Bond and ^ r res. which have heavy interests in ' "b-'i. has not been revealed. Both corns had formerly been considered i;m:i tors of Machado, but seemingly n?t lift a hand to save him ?r" i destruction. Probably they will f' 1 out at the big end of the horn v >ni the island is rehabilitated. This recovery. Cuban business men feel, is certain if the price of Sugar can be r:i :'"! n or a cent and a half a [?" id. which can be done if the United ? '?-'i's tariff of two cents a pound is reduced or abolished. They, believe, fl '. hint Cuba would then become a , I customer for American goods. ' ' ?1 s national debt, hugely increased |lri ,T Machado, also will have to be r' n,,<icd. for the interest and amorti ^ payments now amount to '? K,.'WI0 a month. 1' 1 ident Roosevelt was so satisfied ^ 1 1 I he state of affairs in Cuba that ? went for a short motor trip in the . fountains. Before leaving l: ngton he and President De Ces * ex changed friendly messages. 1 'y of Stale Hull explained to 1 !-.ess that Cuba had really not had ' inge of government. He said It ^ a mere change of personnel with pr, 'M'V n^orn^'on in the structure or of government. P' 'l l-OWTNtf a conference of Presi co . 1 and his executive '' Will announced that the [ Ration approved the Chicago the"' ?* ^ rat'? s decision to withdraw ! J:'S from wheat futures. Secretary e said: ftvt n e Roinfi' *? everything ef ^ " that we can to keep the price 1 "p. but we are not going to I in *,e,?l|t <iT hand business. The ? * n\.is p?t jn to jr]ve time t0 jron I ?r> * 1 r,,n'cal situation arising from ? ^reineiy large speculative ac I whJ ^Ve ran't keep up the price of ? Pegging futures. We are not engaging in a stabilization oper ation. We will try to do as effectively as possible the fundamental things which will keep the price of wheat up." It was announced, also, that the gov ernment was waiving the bulk of its debt claims against cotton farmers who have complied with the acreage reduction program so that about ?100, 000,000 would start moving In small checks to farmers within a few days. The same formula found for cotton will be used for wheat. STEEL, oil, coal and automobile In dustries, looked upon as basic, were still unable to formulate codes satisfactory to their various factions and tn thp nntinnnl rn. eovcry administration. Tliis slowed up the XltA stride so much that President lloose velt called on Hugh Johnson to get quick action, and the admin istrator told the lead ers In the industries that they must at once agree on codes providing minimum wages and maximum km.ee Tkn.n William Green nuuia. xune was an unpleasant in cident in the iron and steel discussions that caused further delay. William Green, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, went into a confer ence as a member of the NItA labor advisory board and also on the invl latioiS of Secretary Perkins. But the steel leaders took one look at him and walked out. Green declared this act was "a chal lenge to the government," and contin ued : "The question is whether steel is to dictate to the government or whether the government Is going to set up ma chinery under the Industrial recovery act and require industry to work with that machinery." Shortly thereafter the labor advis ory board formally protested his ex clusion. Johnson described it as "Miss Per kins' party" and declined further dis cussion. The labor secretary, who continued In conference with the steel leaders without Green, made no state ment. Better progress was made with the oil and automobile codes. The for mer, it was believed, would provide for a measure of government super vision of prices. A group of Texas oil producers who challenged the con stitutionality of the recovery act met defeat in the District of Columbia Su preme court. Justice Joseph Cox de nied the application for an injunction against sections of the law permitting federal regulation of oil production. FIRST of the open disputes within the personnel of the recovery ad ministration resulted in the resigna tion of Prof. W. F. Ogburn as a mem Mrs. H. 8. Johnson oer ui me cun>uuifi? advisory board. Og bum, who Is an econ omist from the Uni versity of Chicago, was vexed because Mrs. Mary Flarrlman Rumsey. chairman of the board, appointed Mrs. Hugh S. John son, wife of the ad ministrator, chairman of the complaint com mittee, and declared the committee was Un nflAno rinl.ilrn unaDie 10 luiun us iuu^uvm. .. told Johnson the consuming public was not being protected, and later he said that the expressed policy of the NRA of keeping purchasing power moving alongside of rising prices "will be blocked, I predict, for want of adfr ! quale Indexes. "The complaints (against violations of codes by employers). I recommend, should be handled by a 'line' organise tion and not by an advisory hoard." Mr. Johnson's only comment on Pro fessor Ogburn's resignation was. "It's all right with me." Flying in an army plane to 8'. I.onls, Mr. Johnson made a stirring ap peal for support of the President's re employment program, asserting its suc cess depended upon co-operation of the people In each town, and. In the last analysis, upon the women. "Woman in defense of the support of her home," he said, "Is about as safe for triflers as a lionesiat the door of a denful of cubs. WbW every American house wife understands that the Blue Ragle on everything that she permits to come Into her home is a symbol of its restora-' tion to security, may God have mercy on the man or group of men who at tempts to trifle with that bird." DAltTS of four provinces in China * are reported to be flooded by the waters of the Yellow river and many thousands of the wretched Inhabitants have been drowned. . The flood was* said to be the worst since 18S7. Sev eral Important towns were In danger of utter destruction. X^fAItTINEZ MERA, who was Inaugu rated president of Ecuador only last December, may have to give up his ! high office, for he doesn't seem to be satisfactory to the country. The con- ! gress voted, 42 to 22, to send a com- j mission to him to ask him MIn the j name of democracy" to let the popular will rule. Latest dispatches from^ Quito said soldiers were guarding the presidential palace; hut It Is hard to say which way Latin American soldiers will jump. F TNCLE SAM'S war on criminals, - ^ especially kidnapers and racke teers, made progress in some regions, j notably in the capture In Texas of ; Harvey Bailey, escaped convict and j leader of desperadoes who is wanted for numerous crimes in the Middle West, including the machine gun mas sacre last June at the Kansas City Union station. Bailey also is charged with the recent kidnaping of C. F. Urschel, Oklahoma oil operator, and ten others implicated in that crime have been nabbed. The federal crusaders, however, staged an awful flop near Chicago. Government agents, policemen and deputy sheriffs to the number of 250. equipped with airplanes, squad cars, machine guns and bombs, cornered two kidnapers for whom they had laid a trap, chased them by land and air | all over the western part of Cook county, and then had to admit their quarry had escaped. The kidnapers had been baited with a promise of col lecting a second $50,000 from Jake Factor. They are supposed to be members of the Roger Touhv gang, four of whom, including the leader, are government prisoners under in dictment for the kidnaping of William ' Hamin. Jr., wealthy St. Paul brewer. Chicago's law authorities are doing better. The courts are manned by judges who have given up their va cations, and every day sees a number of desperate criminals convicted and sentenced to prison terms. The usual long delays granted to defendants In such cases are being refused by the judges, and the unsavory lot of law yers who get rich defending known murderers and gangsters are rather dnmfounded. RUSSIANS, Jews and international Free Masons, are concocting a world plot against Germany, accord ing to Der Deutsche of Berlin, official sv# thn Vnvi "In.

The paper cites, as proof that secret negotiations are being carried on, the simultaneous pres ence at the French resort of Royat of Bernard Baruch of j New Vork. Andre Tar- | dieu of France, Leon | Trotsky, Makim'Lit- i ylnov, Russian for- ! eign commissar, and - the Russian ambnssa- j dor to the republic or Turkey. Former Premier Edotiard Harriot's trip to Moscow Is also part of the plot against Germany, according to Der Deutsche, which warns Germans against what It terms the duplicity of the Soviet Russians and "Jews who want to profit by the Chaos and hatred they sow among nations." The Swiss, on the other hand, claim to have discovered a Nazi plot, one of their papers charging that Hitler's fol lowers have launched a propaganda campaign for the annexation of Ger man Switzerland to Germany. An American sailor named Thorsten Johnson was sentenced to six months in jail at Stettin on charges of calling the chancellor "a Czechoslovaklan Jew," and the American authorities were preparing to move for his release. Determined to prevent graft in the expenditures of the govern ment's huge $.1,300,000,000 public works fund. Secretary Ickes, the administra tor, announced appointment of ten re gional Inspectors as the nucleus of an organization to see to It that the gov- I ernment gets its money's worth. They will v ? ve their orders from ar.'l report directly to I.ouis R. Glavls, chief of the division of Investigations of the Interior department. All engineers, familiar with con struction work, the Inspectors will be charged with seeing that contract | specifications are fully met, and with investigating evidences of conspiracy i In bidding and complaints.

BURGESS PETER RABBIT GROWS IMPATIENT rpVKRY evening that the way seemed clear and safe l'eter Rabbit scam pered across from the dear Old Brier Patch to the Smiling Pool to see how Jerry Muskrat was getting on with the building of his new house. Peter's curiosity was Impatient. Curiosity Is apt to be impatient lie wanted to see the walls of that new house rise out ofthe water, but night after night he was disappointed. There wasn't a tiling above water to show that Jerry Muskrat was building a house there There was Just the muddy water and occasionally the head of Jerry ns he came up for a breath of fresh air to show that something was going on there. After a few nights of this sort of thing Peter began to be doubtful, lie began to doubt if Jerry was really building a house at all. lie said as much to Grandfather Frog. "It seems to me," said he. 'That thoce ought to be some signs of that house If there is ever going to be one. I'm beginning to think that it was nil a bluff on Jerry Muskrnt's part. I don't believe he Is building a house at all. He has been working long enough to have built two houses. It seems to me, yet there isn't a thing to show for It." Grandfather Frog rolled his great goggly eyes up at Peter sitting on the bank and stretched his big mottfh In the broadest of grins. "Perhaps." said lie, softly, "you think you could build that house better and faster than Jerry can." Peter looked a wee bit foolish, Just a wee bit foolish. He never had built a bouse In his life, and he knew that Grandfather Frog knew It. "Just rhe | same, 1 think he is terribly slow about It," he protested. "If it takes him ns long as all this Just to get the foundations laid It will take him the rest of the year to finish the Job. and cold weather will come before then." Grandfather Frog chuckled. "A lot you know about It. Peter," said he. "A lot you know about It. I suppose yon think that the biggest part of all the work on that house Is what will have to be done above water. Let me tell you something. Peter. The part of that house which you will see when It Is finished is the easiest part Jerry has to do. You ought to learn to dive. Peter, and then you would see and ienrn a lot you don't know now. and never will know." Peter looked wistfully and long tngly down into the Smiling Pool. "1 wish 1 could," said he. "1 certainly wish I could." When he noted how muddy the water was he suddenly changed bis mind. "I guess I'm just as well satisfied as not." said he. "I'll take your word for It that there are Interesting things down there tinder water. I know this, and If I could dive I never in the world would open my eyes In any such muddy water as that." Grandfather Frog laughed. You know he doesn't mind muddy water at all. In fact, when he goes to the bottom of the Shining i'nol he goes right down Into the mud Itself It seemed funny to him that anyone should ntlnd muddy water. lie rather liked it him self. because In It he could disappear so easily. I'eter looked over to where the mud was being stirred up by Jerry Muskrnt at work down below. "Just the same." said Peler, "I think Jerry Is a long time building his house." ? l?3J. byT W.

Generally speaking most golf shafts are too stilt for the average golfer to handle well. Francis Ouimet, ever on the lookout for new Ideas, has a set of wooden clubs especially prepared along his own lines in this particular. They vary from the orthodox clubs In that the whip of the shaft. Instead of being near the clubhead. is placed Just under the grip. The result from play with these implements has so far been eminently satisfactory. A premium Is placed od a slow swing, the spring being up so high that it is necessary to avoid any hurried effort to smash Into the ball. This adds a more accu rate hit as well as eliminating that bugbear of all duffers, lashing down too quickly. It affords more com fort In shot making than one Inds with the stltfer shafted clubs. e.
