Newspaper Men in Cuba Get Last Lessons
In Bullet Dodging in Twe-Day Revolution
By J. P. McKNIGHT
Associated Press Foreign Staff
. HAVANA—(#)— Members of
the Havana Associated Press
staff have put the finishing
touches Friday on lessons in
bullet-dodging learned in tur
bulent Cuba.
Working for 48 hours with
almost no food or sleep to give
the American press the fullest
accounts of the revolution, the
staff has been exposed to deaith
many times.
Tipped Tuesday night that
the revolt was coming, Edmund
A. Chester and T surveyed the
city quickly and sped ithe news
along to the New York office
of the Associated Press.
Then Chester took over the
office and I went to the hotel
Parkview, commanding a view
of the well guarded palace.
At 1:30 a. m. firing hroke
out along the Prado and a
rebel Mgplane swooped down
over the city. T saw first-hand
the daring maneuvers .of the
plane and the tracer bhullets
sent whining in its wake by
machine-gunners on the ground.
Meanwhile, at the office, bul

of the building as firing spread.

GLOOMY WINTER FOR
FARMERS PREDICTEL
Southern GCrowers Have
Profited More Than Oth
ers, Says Report
WASHINGTON .—(#)—The farm
family’s outlook for 1934 is not
ipointed-in rosy colors by the de
pantment of agriculture, although
lsome improvement = over 1932 is
predicted.
Farm income may increase, the
department’s annual analysis says,
“and there are reasons for antici
pating that this increase will some
what more than offset the probable
advance in the level of prices of
the commodities that farmers buy.”
‘ But the forecast. assumes a large
proportion off farm families still
will be able to buy only the bare
essentials... While favorable pros
pects for farm prices are noted
the department admits debts and
taxes will absorb most of that in
crease.
’ Temporary price rises for farm
products last spring checked a
downward trend of farm income
that began in 1929. In the three
years of worst depression, gross
income fell to 43 per cent of its
former level. Production costs
!dropped more gradually and the
gross income in 1932 was about
ione fourth of its 1929. level.
| The department estimates farm
iincome for 1933 will be about 24
per cent higher than 1922.
! From Mazzh to October, the av
lera,ge prices paid by farmers for
commodities used in production
}advanced 12 per cent. In the same
period, prices farmers received for
all products increased about forty
per cent. But last March was an
extremely low dip in the line of
farm prices and fthe department
qualifies it's otherwise optimistic
| observation.
This year brought little advance
over 1932, the department says, in
wages, rent ipterest and taxes.
«probably the greatest improve
ment in income is occurring in ithe
Southern states, where farmers are
not only obtaining higher prices
for cotton bu¢ also are receiving
substantial payments for reducing
the acreage of cotton this year”
says the report. “Incomes to
farmers producing wheat, potatoes,
‘tobacco, truck crops and fruitg
‘also will be somewhat higher in
1933 than in 1932.
Some further increase in retail
prices of things farmers must buy
I“can probably be expected during
the coming months.” the depart
ment explains admitting the sharn
advance in retail prices recently
‘has placed the farmer in a rela
tively worse position than before
the recovery program began.

bassy, heavy firing began
around the presidential palace
on his return route.
For blocks he made his way
from doorway to doorway, fre
quently flattening himself for
safety as snipers and palace
guards blazed away. Finally,
he reached the Parkview hotel
and stayed there throughout
the day as many fell dead and
wounded in fighting around the
palace not far distant, and
within plain view.
In ‘“covering” the Dbattle
which raged around Atares
fortresy yesterday, all of the
men ran - through snipers’ fire
to get to their posts.
Jose Arroyo, stationed at the
docks under an almost cease-.
less fire for six hours as he
covered” the work of a loyal
detachment, was forced to
crawl 50 feet—exposed to fire—
every time he telephoned the

IChester and George Kauf
man, stationed in the telephone
building heard bullets . whistle
about their heads and were
forced to lie flay on their
stomachs much of the day.
Eli B. Canel, first reporter
ito enter Atares after the rebels
therein surrendered, was caught
between the fire of snipers and
loyalists and narrowly escaped.

The ousted champions were
Harold S. Vanderbilt himself,
donor of the cup; P. Hal Sims,
once captain ‘of the famed

WASHINGTON.— (AP) -~ The

To qualify for this payment,
growers will be required to partic

launched within the next ten days.
Applications for the price equal

These payments wilg be 20 per
cent of the "actual receipts of the
tobacco sold from July 28 to Sep

of the actual receipts of that sold
from September 25 to October 7,

slightly more than $1,300,000 would
be paid to Georgia farmers, sl,-
200,000 to South Carolina growers,
and $2,0600,000 to eastern Norih Car

WASHlNGTON,—(AP)—Admin

Roosevelt and Maxim Litvinoff ex
changed views, but it was made
‘known definitely that a lot of
‘work. must still b% transacted be

It was pointed out that Mr.
Roosevelt was insisting upon a|
thorough understanding of the|
numerous problems which have
accumulated in the 16 years of!
lack of relations between the two
countries. l
He is leaving to his State de
partment aides the task of sifting
through the many questions con
fronting the countries, in confer
ence with' M. Litvinoff.
From time to ti®, such as
Friday, the President will serve as
a clearing house for these issues
in personal talks with Litvinoff,
He does not expect any necessar

angles that remain to be solved,
There is at the State department
a volume of 109 pages invelving
claims against the old Kerensky
government which ruled briefly
after the overthrow of the Czar
regime and in opposition to the
Soviets. This was cited as an ex
