HAVANA, Nov. 2 G.N.S0.-The
worst night of terrorism in Cuba
since the Grau San Martin ad-
ministration was indicted was
climaxed today by bomb explo-
sion which shattered the offices
of the weekly publication Semana.
Providing the finishing touch to
a series of outbreaks, labor
troubles. gun fights, and street car
bombings, the blast shattered
store windows over a city block.
Three suspects, who narrowly
escaped death when police and
soldiers riddled their automobile
with bullets, were arrested.
The owner of Semana is Sergio
Carlo, member of the revolution
airy junta and student directorate.
The fact his establishment was
the target was interpreted as a
warning that opposition against
President Grau San Martin is
gaining Roadway.
During the night II bombs ex-
ploded, killing one person and in
juring eight.

FARMER STRIKE
NOW INCLUDES
MINNESOTA
Violence Continues in WiSCon-
sin; Milk Is Dumped and
Cheese Plants Bombed

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov.
G.N.SO.-While four governors
carried the bold farm relief pro-
gram to President Roosevelt TO-
day, the farm strike movement
raging in Wisconsin swept into
Minnesota despite an agreed
truce.
The Minnesota Farm Holiday
Association, not waiting for the
outcome of the conference with
the President, voted to strike i'm
mediately and begin peaceful
picketing" at once.
Products to Be Withheld
All farm products are to be
withheld from market, the strik-
ing organization announced.
Leaders voted the nonpayment of
taxes and interest on mortgages.
The association said it would per-
init no forcible collection of
debts.
John Bosch, president of the
Minnesota association, said that
if violence occurs, the response
bility will rest with chose who
refuse to cooperate with u.s."
Meanwhile the farm revolt was
flaring in Wisconsin, with VIC
lence cropping up in the south
eastern section of the State for
the first time. Eighteen miles
from Racine, in the Chicago and
Milwaukee milksheds, $50 angry
pickets raided an intnrurban
electric car bound for Milwaukee
and dumped 10000 pounds of
milk.
Cheese Factories Bombed
In the Wisconsin strike, car
ried on by the Wisconsin Co.
operative Milk Pool, two more
cheese factories were bombed
with dynamite, one in Plymouth
county and one in the Fond
Du Lac area.

NaClOnal Holiday Association, de-

norS' conference here.
The setting of minimum prices
is by far the outstanding de-
mand. Under such a program,
farm income would be more
than doubled almost overnight.
If cost of production figures
compiled by the Farmers Union
and the Farmers Holiday Asso-
citation were used in setting
prices, prices would be pegged
at not less than 81 cents for
corn, $1.38 for wheat, is cents
for cotton, $11.32 for hogs and
5000 for cattle.

Fairfax county, Va, about a mile
away, a 10O-foot fire tower will
be erected soon by the Virginia
Forest Service. The tower, Of

the public are blocked and that
none can see them practice SUM-

they do there is possibility Of

COURT RULING
BRANDED AS
'A|NAZ|NG"
Greek Government Cannot
Interfere, Minister
MaximoS Asserts

ATHENS, Nov. 2 G.N.SJ.-Lin.
coin MacVeagh, American minis
ter to Greece, has lodged a protest
with Foreign Minister MaximoS
regarding the decision of the court
OF appeals freeing Samuel insult,
indicted former Chicago utilities
magnate, International News Ser
vice learned this afternoon.
Maximos expressed regret that
the United States Government had
failed to achieve it's desire to bring
about Insults extradition, but de-
clared the Greek government was
powerlesS to intervene.
Can't Interfere
He said:
Greek executive authority is
without influence on Greek jus
tice. There is no way in which
the government can interfere"
MacVeagh said his protest had
not been made in a formal diplo-
matte manner, explaining he had
complained unofficially to Maxi
mos and expressed Americas dis
appointment" over outcome Of the
case.
The minister said he would
await cabled instructions from
Washington before protesting for
mally through regular diplomatic
channels.
Legation Amazed
At the same time the first COM
plete translation Of the court yer,
dict amazed the American lega-
ton even more than did the news
of the actual decision, for it re-
vealed what was termed in Amer
lean circles the curious" reason
ing of the court in freeing the
former Chicago utilities car.
The court, it was pointed out,
virtually admitted that Insults
stock transactions were irregular
in a manner constituting an Of
tense under Greek and American
law.
But the verdict concluded that
he did so without intent to de-
fraud, but merely to save his COM
panies on behalf of the public.
The courts eulogy of insult was
regarded as even more profuse
than that offered during the hear
ings by his own defense.
Forrest Harness, who was in
charge of the United States at
tempt to extradite insult, was
reported to have expressed regret
he did not bring some Greek vic
times of the crash of the insult
power empire before the court,
evidently in the belief this action
might have changed the judges
point of view.
insult EIated
insult, still jubilant over his
victory. was up early and again
received a new batch of cables.
These he read proudly to a
Greek woman friend, Mrs. Helen
Kouryoumdjoglou, who dined with
insult last night and visited him
frequently while he was held by
police in a nursing home here.

BY PROF|TEERS,
SAYS RA|NEY
Congress Will Continue to
Stand BY the President,
Speaker Declares


The Roosevelt recovery program
is in it's critical stage, but is Ger.
tain to succeed. Henry T. Rainey
speaker of the House, declared to
day.
Stopping here while on a speak
ing tour defending the Admins
tration'S program, Rainey blamed
"profiteers" who manufactured
huge stocks of goods expecting
higher prices for the prese
slowing up of the program. He
said:
"NOw is the critical period in
the entire recovery program,
and it will continue for two
months. The codes are Just
commencing to work and the
public works program is about
to operate.
HUGE MEAT SURPLUS
"PrOfiteers filled their ware
houses during the summer ex-
pecting higher prices. These
goods must be moved out. It
is on this account that things
have Slackened. This is par
ticularly true of the meat pack
ers. Only five times in the
history of the nation have we
had such a large meat surplus"
Ralney aSSailed the "ghoulS Of
politics and business" for attacks
on the Roosevelt program.
The farm strike has failed ir
the West, and the farmers are
willing to wait to give the new
processing taxes and the Presi
dents gold plan a chance tc

Stand By President
Asked if Congress would. as
some predict, run away" next
winter, Rainey said:
Everybody is worried. We
still have 70 days before Con-
gresS heets. There may be q
slight upturn by then"
Congress, he said, will con
tinue to stand by the President
He added:
"The President has a hum
dred plans and is using 10 or
IL. The Republicans haven't
one"
Rainey described the Presidents
gold buying plan as a new method
of devaluing the dollar. He pre-
dicted Congress would authorize
coinage of silver, but declared in
flation proposals would fail. He
said:
at is a new method Of de-
valuing the gold dollar but it
will accomplish its purpose.
Were it not that International
trade has been stopped by tariff
wars; it would have raised
prices in a week."
Europe Buying Cotton
The gold buying plan, Rainey
said, will raise cotton prices be.
cause Europe 'is buying cotton.
1t will raise grain and meat prices
more slowly because foreign mar
kets have been barred to the
United States.
The Democrats will not tear
down tariff walls, Rainey believes,
h-cause retaliatory tariffs of for
elgn nations prevent it.
