SOLDIERS MUTINY HAVANA —(#)— Cuba’s revolu- tionary government, less than one month old, prepared to resign Tuesday in favor of a commission of five men selected by leaders of soldiers, sailorg and national po lice who seized power through a bloodless coup d’'etat Monday night.

TOBACCO GROWERS ARE OFFERED PLAN Farm Administration Of cials Suggest Blanket Reduction Agreement. WASHINGTON—(#)— After an other meeting Tuesday with rep- reventatives of flue cured tobacco growers, farm administration of ficials said it has been decided to offer growers preliminary individu al contracts in the proposed ecrop reduction campaign for tobacco. At a conference Monday in which Governor Ehringhaus of North Carolina, participated, « it was decided tentatively to have a blanket reduction agreement offer ed to the growers. After further consultation, how ever, it was agreed that each grower would sign a preliminary reduction contract, which would stipulate only that he would re duce to the amount desired by the government in return for benefit payments for taking acres out of production, | The farm administration already had announced it intended to levy a processing tax on flue cured} tobacco to raise funds for pay ments to farmegs who wouldl promise to reduce their crops Inf 1934, | Growers and officials in North Carolina. South Carolina and Vir ginia asserted this program might‘ not raise prices for 1933, and the_vl came to Washington for further conferences on methods to increase‘ the price of this year’s crop. ‘ Without flatly promising stabili-l zation activities, farm administra tion officials indicated they wouldl be willing to participate in plans to take some of the surplus off the market, if that were necessary to increase price if crop produc tion control were assured. Warehouses in North and South Carolina have been closed by or der of the governors and the plan contemplated by federal officials is to have the growers offered the preliminary reduction contracts be- | fore these are opened.

SENSATIONAL MOVE Is Regardedv—;\s Major Change in Policy By Chieftain. By MILTON BRONNER LONDON—(NEA)—The press of thé world has been so busy print ing news about the Nazj warfare upon Jews, Soccialists, Communists, pacifists and trades unionists in Germany that they seem to have largely overlooked what is in some ways a far more sensational oc currence—the wide swing Chan cellor Adolf Hitler has taken to the Right. Hitler has split his National- Socialist train. The Nationalist cars, so to speak, are zooming mer rily along the main German track. The Socialist section has - been shunted to an obscure, grass grown, isolated s iing to rust in the sunlight anA ‘the rain. ' In the omnium gatherum that ' Hitler called a platform, he dub bed his party “Natjonal-Socialist.” It was cleverly designed to ap peal to men of both tha Right and the Left. To the men of the Right, he preached an extreme German nationalism; he excited their pride in the vision of a Germany once more mighty, dictating policies in the concert of HFurope. To the discontented middle-class owners of - small shops, he held out the vision of destruction of the big department stores. To the peas ants he held out possibiiities of dividing up the big landed es tates. To those socialistically in clined, he held forward a program of Gierman Socialism, distinct from any connection with either the Second or Third International. | Estate’s Problem . In the old powerful Prussian kingdom the great Junker land lords of the East Prussian matches were top dogs. They held the big positions in the army, in diploma cy, in the cabinet, in the court of the Prussian king. When the German empire was formed after the victorious Franco - Prussian War, the Junkers for a time still held undisputed sway. But Ger many became a great manufactur ing nation and the industrial kings became as important as the Junk ers. Right after the revolution and the formation of the republic, the Junkers retired to their estates. The industrial kings had to deal more gently with their work peo ple. But gradually both sets of powerful men once more came into the arena. The Easy Prussian estates of the Junkers have always been doubtful propositions. The soil is not rich. Even the republic. coddled East Prussia. The national treas ury allocated big sums to the East Prussian Relief Fund. The main purpose was supposed to be financial aid to the smaller strug gling farmers. A year or so ago Chancellor Bruening let it be known that in his opinoin the big East Prussian estates, which were uneconomical and did not repay what the state loaned them, should be taken over. subdivided and given to peasant farmers. The Junkers got the ear of their fellow Junker, Presi dent Hindenburg, and RBruening was canned. A Junker Victory A bit later General von Sch leicher was Chancellor. He allow ed the Ilid to be lifted cn the East Prussian funds. I; showed that most of the’ money had gone, not to the small farmers, but to the Junkers, who had thus either paid off their mortgages or even bought more land. It threatened to be a first class scandal. The skids were put unded von Sch leicher and Hitler was called to power. The Junkers were slightly alarmed. Hitler, too, had talked about land for the peasants. Then Hitler went to Neudeck in East Prussia for a talk with Hinden burg. Right afterwards Herr Darre, Hitler's Minister of 'Agri culture announced: “In accord with the Chancellor, I will not seize any property how ever great it be, if it is healthy economically and can maintain it self by its own powers.” | He went on to add that even if the “properties were not in good condition, he did not propose to cut them up.
