INDUSTRY AID PLAN MAY END
 GERMAN DOLE
Finance Minister Reveals Government Proposal
 at Congress

STUTTGART, Germany, Jan. IT. A sensational plan for pulling Germany up, financially and eco- nomically, by her own boot straps through abolition of the unemploy- ment dole and a partial socializa- tion of German industries, was re- vealed here by Finance Minister Hermann Dietrich, speaking at a party congress in session here. [ The plan, which Herr Dietrich re- vealed was sponsored by Chancel- Tor Heinrich Bruening's cabinet, would abolish the dole, which now lcosts the government three bil- lion marks (nearly $750,000,0 ,000) an- nually, and use this money to fin crease production, lower the cost of raw materials to producing CT man. |ufacturing industries which use a specially large amount of important Iraw materials"
 No Subsidies
 Although Herr Dietrich said the plan did not contemplate subsidies to German industries his outline of the plan provided virtually for that, but under the title of government contribution to lower the cost of production.
 This is in effect the widest form of socialization of German indus tries and forced exports ever pro- posed under the republic. By as- sisting industry through lower pro- duction costs and forced exports Herr Dietrich asserted the cabi- nets plan would increase employ ment, thus making up for the abe lition of the dole.

 Conditional Apology

 But the former New York Cover nor got only conditional apology from the much harrassed COP. Committee boss.
 In his answer to Smiths demand, Lucas ironically retorted that he would apologize for the cartoon representing Smith and John J Raskob. Chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee, as Vets if Smith would announce he now favored prohibition.
 Continuing MT. Lucas asked Gov. Smith if Chairman Raskob was considering "apologizing to the American people for the action of Smiths handpicked Chairman, Ras- kob, in subsidizing an organized campaign of more than a year to misrepresent and smear Hoover"

ENGLISH BOAST BEST CRUISERS,
 EXPERT CLAIMS
British Writer on Naval A. fairs Also Discusses
 U. 5. Navy

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Great Britain today shows the way to the rest of the naval world in the design of cruisers, now the most competitive lof the worlds fighting ships. Such is the opinion expressed by Dr. Oscar Parkes, editor of James Fighting Ships" in his introduction to the 1881 edition of this standard reference work.
 Dr. Parkes has other interesting conclusions to offer:
 1.-The slim and graceful fun nels and raked masts of pre-war days are vanishing.
 2.-In many navies ships have but one funnel, and that unrecog- nizable-a monstrous sort of growth on the upper deck.
 3.-Many foreign navies, the
 French and Italian in particular have sacrificed too much for fan tastic speed" but this postwar craze for tin clads" is passing. New ideas in warship design of all classes of vessels is in pros pect, according to Dr. Parkes, who points particularly to Germanys widely advertised pocket battle ships and also to the new Swedish light cruiser Gotland. The British expert forecasts a
 smaller aircraft carrier, thus CO., inciding with American naval ex- perts.
 Considerable attention is given the navies of continental Europe
 and the rivalry between France and Italy as well as Frances projected answer to Germany's pocket battle ships. Dr. Parkes sees the French flotilla leaders of the Lion type as being answered by the Italian cruis- CTS of the Condottieri class. He thinks that the new French bat tleships looking toward Germany may be of about 23,000 tons each, with twelve-inch guns and speed of 27 knots.

BERLIN, Jan. IT. Old Count Bleucher II probably would chuckle in his grave from sheer delight if he knew the United States had purchased for $2,O000O0 his ances- tral town-house on Unter den Lin- den, for housing it's embassy and consulate.

REBEL BANDS IN
 CUBA HARASSED THE OUTPOSTS
They Are Persistent on All Fronts But So Far Are Not Gaining Much

Havana, Cuba, Aug 21-(UP)- Marauding rebel bands harassed federal outposts on several fronts to-day in the persistent but so far desultory revolution against the regime headed by President Gerar- do Machado.
 A second revolutionary expedi- tionary force landed on the north ern coast of Cuba and attacked the city of Nuevitas, an important port and railroad center in Camaguey province. The rebel raid was sue cessful meager reports reaching the disturbed capital indicated. These dispatches, like all news from the provinces, lacked confir- nation. A strict censorship prevails under martial law
 A communique issued insisted that only 43 rebels and three fed erals were killed in the battle of Gibara, where the first expedition ary force of insurgent reinforce ments landed. Earlier reports had placed the dead at 600 men on both sides. The government fur ther declared the rebel force land ed from 8 ship flying the Norwe- gian flag totaled only some 50 men, instead of the 800 claimed in earlier rumors. They, with other rebels, were surrounded and sur rendered at Gibara.
 The capital suffered renewed anxiety as a result of bursts of scattered gun fire In the last two days in Havana and vicinity. Rebel forces reported that an outbreak within the capital was imminent. There has been little disorder here since the revolution started Aug g.
