Of the association. which was called to
elect his successor as president, but he
was informed indirectly that his life
was in danger and, much against his
will and only after direct insistence by
various authorities. consented to 60
a week ahead Of time.
To explain the circumstances. he left
letter with the Press Association, sec
tions Of which follow verbatim:
The German government was at any
time able to oust me as an undesirable
foreigner. It did nct care to do this.
The German government wished, on
the one hand, to create the impression
that the foreign press in Berlin was
completely free and independent. On
the other hand, 1t wanted to bring about
the departure Of those correspondents
whose knowledge Of the situation in
Germany was great enough to make
them impervious to German propa-
ganda.
THE German government did not
say, Recall Mowrer or We will throw
him out but 1t did say, Recall Mowrer
because we can no longer guarantee
his personal safety Perhaps there was
same truth in this hunt. 1t is quite
well known that the oficial German
government cannot always control the
various party organizations.
But. anyway. it is singular event
in diplomatic history for regularly con-
stituted authorities Of q country to have
to admit that they are unable to grant
protection to foreign journalists.
Following the warning that was
no longer safe. the American Govern
ment and the American representatives
here asked me to hasten my departure.
Had disresarded their wish and stayed
on-and If something had really hap
pened to me-the German government
would have been able to disclaim re-
sponsibility Therefore had no choice
but to Co."

who took a poke at the Senator from
Louisiana, Huey Long. has been COM
pleted, and its designer. George de
Zayas. said today it would be struck in

To whom the medal will be given has
not been determined. owing to the re-

All have denied they laid hand on
the Senator. The Senator himself has
stated that he was set upon by gang

cast the medal in numbers. The hsti-
cuffs occurred at the Sand Point Bath
Club more than a week ago

Answer to Coal Code
Delay Is Found in
Production.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TNHE first dozen times Gen. john
son showed the soft coal people
the dotted line. they had new
1 excuse why signing should be
delayed They had either left
their glasses at home or did not have a
pen. The N. r. A. people began to get
suspicious. They found what they
thought was the answer over at the
Bureau of Mines There they discover
ed production in certain localities was
being strongly pushed. Obviously some
operators mot alb were mining all the
coal they could before the higher wage
scale could 60 into effect.
Each day Of delay meant dollars IN
their pockets.
Rush Bargain Labor.
This group was largely comprised OF
operators in the cheap labor fields. One
of their number gleefully told friends:
u hope the signing Is delayed until
Christmas. Maybe then I will have
something to put in my stocking"
The bureau figures show that coal
production has been pushed hard since
July Is. Since then mining has been
far above the same period of 1881 and
lust a..-.out twice as high as last year. In
fact, \ Is almost back to the 1880 level.
Industrial production since jAlE Is

ing tentative public works fund Al
lotments.
The resolution announced a new pol
icy setting a 30-day deadline on non
Federal bodies within which they must
complete details and offer q contract
before they can receive financial aid
from the Public Works Administration.
Failure to do this could be used by the
Administration as reason Tor can
ceiling the allotment.
In making the announcement. 1ckes
said he was not satisfied with the speed
with which these non-Federal bodies
had been presenting their projects. nor
was he satisfied with the manner In
which these bodies were laying the es-
sential information concerning their
circumstances before the adminiStra-
tion.
Survey Costs Blamed.
States and municipalitis," he said,
have been slow to present their prof.
ects for consideration by the Public
Works Administration. and in some in
stances the excuse for this is that,
without assurance Of favorable con-
sideration, there is no justification for
incurring the expense involved in pre-
pairing q project.
ITO meet this situation and to en-
courage States and municipalities to
speed up their projects. the following
resolution was introduced at the meet
ing of the special board for public
works today:
Resolved. that upon a proper prima
facie showing that q proposed State or
municipal public works project is So
cially desirable. is satisfactory from an
engineering point of view and can be
financed under the law, the Public
Works Administration may make an al
location Of the money required for
such project on the condition that not
later than 80 days after such alloca-
ton the financial and engineering fea-
lures of said project be worked out and
q final contract. satisfactory to the Ad-
ministrator of Public Works. be execut-
ed. failing which the tentative allo-
cation shall be without effect"
Under this resolution" Ickes said,
projects may be presented for con-
sideration, provided, on their face. they
come within the scope of the industrial
recovery act and the regulations Of the
Board for Public Works. If the board
considers the project desirable 1t will
make tentative ALLEGATION Of the funds
necessary to complete it, upon which
the engineers, lawyers and financial ex-
perts will proceed to make an intensive
study SO that inal contract can be
executed within not less than 80 days.
This action of the Public Works Ad-
ministration puts 1t distinctly up to the
States and municipalities who have de-
sirable public works projects to present
to get busy"

FLORIDA CITRUS LOST.
Storm Damage to State Estimated Close

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. September 5
Up.-A trail of ravaged homes, busl-
nesses and citrus groves today marked
the wave Of tropical storm that struck
Florida on the east, swept through the
south central portion and blew into the
Gulf of Mexico north OF Tampa. Dam
age was estimated above . million

Communication with the southern
portion of the State was still difncut
early today, but meager reports dis
closed the loss of but two lives. COL
ored man refused to leave his home
near Palm Beach as the storm ap-
preached and was killed when 1t col
lapsed. An amateur radio message told
of the death between Sebring and Lake
Placid of q fiagman when IL cars OF Q
Seaboard Air Line train were ditched
because Of o track undermined by rain
water.
After wrecking small boats and dam
aging small homes along the east coast
from Lake Worth to Vero Beach. the
storm swung inland Sunday night and
damaged the rich citrus section. Most
estimates placed the loss at 80 per cent
Of the crop.
Winds booming along at from 10 to
100 miles an hour were recorded on the
coast, but as the storm veered Inland
1t diminished in intensity.
Some 5000 residents removed from
the Lake Okeechobee section were re-
turned to their homes.
Fort Pierce reported 5000 900 damage.
Costly Palm Beach estates were Uttered
with debris blown up by the storm, but
most of the homes escaped serious

Sebring, Winter Haven. Haines City.
Lakeland, Sarasota and other Middle
Florida towns all reported some dam
age. although Lakeland and Sarasota
said the loss was light.
Injuries were 7ev. Commercial tele-

ignored the ominous discomfort which
prevailed in the ranks of the Cuban
Army, which had been the spoiled child
Of Machado: He underestimated the
dissatisfaction caused by the reduction
Of pay and the reduction of electives
IN the ranks Of the army planned for
the sake OF economy by the De Ces-
pedeS administration.
Took Care Of Army.
In the present critical economic situ-
alton in Cuba the members of the
army. the navy and the police force did
not approve Of any reduction of pay
and especially reduction Of electives
since they knew that once out of these
forces they will have to join the ranks
Of the hundreds OF thousands of unem-
ployed. Machado was a bad President,
but at least, they said, he took good
care Of the army while the money last
ed. And 1t these privates and nom
commissioned officers who spoiled
situation which appeared on the sur
face to be improving.
For the time being the State De-
partment seems to think Intervention
can be avoided.
Although the De Cespedes administra-
ton has been recognized de facto and
de jure by the United States Govern
ment and the governments OF other
powers, should the military junta and
the students which are af1iliated with it
be able to provide another government
which could be regarded as stable there
is no doubt that the American Govern
ment will not object to it.
Everybody In official quarters con-
versant with the Cuban situation knows
that Emanuel de Cespedes is far from
being strong man. But he was the
best man Cuba could offer under the
present circumstances.
Opposes Using Force.
It Is not known whether De Cespedes
will accept defeat and resign in order
to save his life or whether he will ask,
under the provision Of the Cuban con-
stitution for American Intervention
under the Platt amendment. Since the
Cuban president was not in Havana
when the revolution broke out, 1t Is
didicult even to guess what his attitude
will be, but within the next few hours
the State Department will see more
clearly into that situation.

force to be sent to keep law and order

it is up to the President of the United

For the time being Mr.. Roosevelt is

may alter with the changes which occur
in the situation within the next few
