LaGuardia Ready to
Grant 7-Cent Fare
to Wall St. Bankers

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-PIans for
the raising of the subway fare are
rapidly being finished under the
guise Of discussions of "unificat!on"
OF the city's subways, it was revealed
today.
Mayor-elect LaGuardia conferred
today with banking representatives
OF the B. M. T. with view to estab-
fishing the price that the city will
pay for their holdings in the sub
ways.
1t was frankly stated at the con-
ference that the LaGuardia admin
istration is prepared to give the
present bondholders of the subways
a guarantee that the city will take
the proper steps to pay the interest
on the traction bonds, and that this
will be accomplished on the basis OF
a "self-supporting" fare.
A seven-cent fare is seen as a
swiftly approaching probability If the
LaGuardia government carries out its
guarantees to the Wall Street bank
ers.

HAVANA, Dec. 19.-At least two

On Sunday, the unemployed at

The attack on Ell Pals, newspaper
