Recent governmental upheavals in
Chile began June 4, this year, when
revolutionary group headed by Carlos
Davila overthrew the government Of
President Juan Estaban Montero and
established Socialist state.
Until September 13 the pendulum
swung but once against Davila, when
Col. Marmaduke Grove, then chief OF
the Chilean air service, displaced the
civilian Socialist leader for 13-day
period, but Davila was able to gather
his regime together again and keep the
reins by various shifts in his cabinet.
On September 13, however, the
Chilean air force, under Col. Arturo
Merino Benitez, revolted. When the
aviators threatened to bomb the presi-
Dental palace, Davila resigned as pro-
visional President and group of mil
itary officers placed Gen. Bartolome
Blanche in the acting presidency.

generally acceptable to distributors"
THE distributors" he said, realize
that farmers simply must have more
money AS a result of the drought and
generally depressed economic conditions,
the farmers are on the verge of bank
ruptcy It seems to be absolutely essen

their products"

negotiations for price increases, but
disclosed that conferences had been
held with milk distributors. Negotia-

Mayor Forces Estimate Board
to Work Openly as
Retaliation.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, october 1.-The Tam
many supported Board Of Estimate to-
day deprived Mayor Joseph v. Mckee
Of his budget making powers, and the
mayor quickly retaliated by forcing the
new budget directors to work in the
! open.
The breach which had been widening
between the new mayor and Control
Ter Charles w. Berry, both OF whom
have been mentioned as possible candi-
dates for mayor, developed into an open
break at today's meeting.
Backed solidly by Tammany members,
Berry mustered IL votes to S for Nc
Kee. and the mayor lost all power to
draft tentative budget. He had been
working since he took Office month
ago in an effort to save S100 100000.
"School Teacher" Methods.
Asserting the mayor had been using
| school teacher" methods in his budget
slashing, Berry told the board that the
practice of having the budget director,
an employe of the mayor, prepare the
docket was a practice that cannot be
dropped too soon."
mo one, not even the members Of this
| board, have had an opportunity to
know what is going on" Berry said.
"As late as May 25 the controller pre-
sented a memorandum stating that even
in this time of economic distress over
100 city employees had received salary
increases by this so-called desirable
practice.
Il set forth that this board wishes
to strip the mayor of his budget-making
powers. As matter OF fact, he mas no
budget making powers"
Mayor Mckee responded that the
controllers offers of cooperation had
been "as good as the paper on which
| they were written"
"The purpose Of the resolution, the
mayor added, "is apparent-to nam
string and to handicap"
Secrecy Move Blocked.
Although he acknowledged he was
defeated, Mckee went down fighting.
The controller moved to have next
| Tuesdays meeting Of the board an ex-
ecutive session, and was mmeolatey
blocked by the mayor.
IF you're going to make this nudget
I can't keep you from doing 1t. because
YOU have more votes than I, but l re-
| fuse absolutely to countenance any bud
get-making in a secret session." he ex-
| claimed.
"The board OF estimate has forced
| the right to cooperate in making New
| York's budget. All right; now Wen
make it IN public so everybody can see
what you do with II"
Berry replied that his suggestion was
s'merely for the sake of orderly pro-
cedure" and that he was perfectly
satisfied to have an open session"
