Election Day For Cuba Sees Violent Outbreak in Spots Havana, Jan. 10. —(AP) —A dozen persons were wounded in a series of Santiago bomb explos ions today, a noisy prelude to the election of a president and other constitutional officers by Cuba’s 2,000,000 voters. A dozen bombs exploded. One damaged the office of Dr. Cesar Cobani, Marianista party leader. A political agent was brought to Havana suffering grave bullet wounds from Bauta, in the nearby province of Finer del Rio. Police seized a package containing four bombs in a downtown case and promptly closed all such places. The provisional government took every precaution to prevent further disorders during the day’s voting. The people generally appeared to be. in a gala mood.

The conference had been deadlock ed over the Japanese insistence of parity with all powers, and most ob servers expected the Japanese to withdraw if their demands were even tually turned down. Officials said the admission of Ger parlcy, might restore some of the pres many and Russia, if Japan left the tige of the conference. Some quarters also said it would be a hint to Japan that Great Britain would move closer to the Soviet Union in resisting in creasing Japanese strength in the Far East.

Washington, Jan. 10 (AP) An op portunity to draft a new farm aid plan “as decisively in the farm interest as the AAA, and which will make an even stronger appeal to the consum ers of the nation,” was presented to assembled farm leaders today by Sec retary Wallace. He told approximately 100 farm leaders at the New Deal’s post-AAA conference that the smashed adjust ment act had been “steadily direct ed to the general welfare.” Wallace gave no hint of what new farm program he approved, laying emphasis upon the importance of the meeting, the secretary said: “The time has come for those who believe that the balanced welfare of agriculture is essential to the gene ral welfare to speak plainly about ob structionists.

J., Jan. 10.—(AP)—The last hope of Bruno Richard Haupt mann to make a personal appearance before the court of pardons faded to day when Governor Harold G. Hoff man’s office announced the court would not meet at the State Prison. The governor, through William S. Conklin, his press aide, said the court, convening tomorrow at 10:30 a. m. to consider Hauptmann’s plea for cle mency, would meet as usual at the executive offices. A meeting at the State Prison would have been without precedent, but Governor Hoffman’s delay in an nouncing where the court would sit had been taken by some as indication he hoped for a last minute statement from the man convicted of the Lind bergh kidnap-murder. The one remote chance of Haupt mann appearing before the court lay in the possibility defense counsel might make allegations necessitating Hauptmann’s corroboration. In that event, the court could adjourn to State Prison, a mile and a half away, and call the prisoner. Hauptmann himself, however, has refused to elaborate on his old state ments, and his insistence that he has nothing new to tell dimmed his chances of escaping the electric chair one week from tonight. Governor Hoffman said it was "ex tremely” doubtful the court of par dons tomorrow would make the un precedented move of sitting at the prison and hearing the last plea of the condemned man. Hauptmann, in his written request to appear, delievered to the governor a few days ago, limited it to an offer “to answer all questions.” “I doubt Hauptmann will be asked to appear,” Hoffman said. "I don’t think it is the intention of the court to call any witnesses.” Governor Hoffman will deliver to the court a letter affirming Haupt (Continued on Page Six.) WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

TURNS THUMB DOWN ON EXPORT SUBSIDY Return to Uncontrolled Crop Production Would Mean New Race for Short-Sight ed Plowing in Middle West And Return of Dust Storms And Desert There. Washington, Jan. 10.—(AP)—Presi dent Roosevelt, at his first farm dis cussion since AAA’s death, today as serted his responsibility to treat farming as a national problem and re-emphasized his determination for soil conservation and control of pro duction as the answer to the farming situation. Talking offhand with newsmen at his regular press conference, the President turned thumbs down on proposals to provide subsidies for ex ports. • “We must avoid,” he said, “any na tional agricultural policy which will result in the shipping of our soil fer tility to foreign nations.” In a return to uncontrolled crop production, he saw a new race for short-sighted plowing of the vast Mid dle West area, a return of the dust, storms and an eventual desert land in this rich region. Mr. Roosevelt proposed no specific plan and carefully avoided discussion of any specific farm plan to meet the situation resulting from the death; of AAA.

Administration / Neutrality Bill Sharply Changed Washington, Jan. 10. —(AP)— The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with Secretairy Hull's approval today, eliminated from the administration’* neutrality bill parts of the section relating to bans on exports of commodities to belligerents, which some contend tied the United States too close to League of Nations sanctions. The part eliminated would have said the President should prohibit shipments of articles that may be used for war purposes whenever be found that “to refrain from placing such restrictions would contribute to a prolongation or expansion of the war.” Retained, however, were provisions that such shipments should be bart ned whenever the President found it would "serve to promote the security and preserve the neutrality of the United States, or to protect the lives and commerce of nationals of this country.” Critics of the phrase eliminated, in cluding Senator Vandenburg, Repub lican, Michigan, contended that if the League voted an oil embargo the United States might have been forced to join in the action.
