MEN0CAL FEARS
CIVIL WAR IN CUBA
Former President, in Miami,
Predicts Batista Will Lose
Army Control.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, October 12.-An asser-
ton that Cuba rapidly is approaching
crisis or civil war-not revolution
came from Mario @. Menocal, former
President Of the island republic, here
yesterday.
The statement Of the erstwhile' Cuban
general, who led an unsuccessful revOlu-
tionary movement in 1881 against
Gerardo Machado, was made following
his arrival here by airplane from Ha-
vana.
Menocal expressed hope that present
negotiations for a coalition cabinet in
Cuba would be successful, but declared
irresponsible children, who have as
sumed the prerogatives Of men, cannot
conduct affairs Of the government"
Doubts Marines VIII Land.
He said he does not believe the United
to the extent of landing Marines or
sailors there.
Referring to Col. Fulgencio Batista,
the former sergeant, who was promoted
to chief Of the Cuban Army after lead
ing a military coup against DR.. Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, who succeeded
Machado and later stepped down in
favor of DR.. Grau San Martin as presi-
dent, Menocal said:
"Batista will not long remain in con-
troll Of the army. Batista controls the
army in Havana, but not in outlying
provinces"
Praises Carlos Mendieta.
Carlos Mendieta. an exile during the
latter part Of the Machado regime,
would make a splendid President for
Cuba" in the opinion of Menocal.
Mendieta has been mentioned as q
possible successor to Grau San Martin,
should the latter be compelled to re-
linquish the presidency.
Menocal denied reports that he left
Cuba as an exile. He also denied re-
ports that his political enemies had
sought his arrest after snipers were
said to have fired from his house at
soldiers during recent disorders there.

ECONOMISTS STUDY

Economists for the Agricultural Ad-

a study of the advanced prices Of cot

direction of Dr. Frederic c. Howe. con-
sumers' counsel, shall be carried

Copies of invoices detailing additional
charges made for finished cotton
articles were supplied the department
yesterday by Washington merchants,
most of whom declared the mark-ups
were passed on to them by the manu-
facturerS and were not Of their own
making.
Understanding Suspected.
In some cases, the merchants de-
clared, there appeared to be an under
standing between certain classes OF
manufacturers to make fixed charges.
and when retailers protested to the
makers, they were referred to their
trade association or institute without
obtaining satisfactory results.
Four special reasons were given 1or
the present higher pyices. These are
the processing tax. additional labor costs
in the text mill, additional labor
costs to the manufacturers and reduced
discounts allowed the merchants.
Tax Called Negligible.
They declared, however the processing
tax on cotton has been so small 1t has
not been considered by them IN ao-
justing the retail prices.
The detailed figures supplied by
Washington merchants tended to sup
port their contention, before DR.. Howe,

bitrarily." and have been larger than
the retailers regarded as reasonable. In
some cases, it was cited, goods bought
in June for September delivery. with an
understanding that a reasonable charge

the. all time record breaker which
took more than 1900 lives in the

Of the deaths reported in the
past few days about half were
caused by heat prostration or
heart disease brought on by the
heat. The others were drownings.
Coroners and physicians said
the toll of lives actually was
much greater because many per-

died. Such deaths, they pointed
out. ordinarily are attributed to
disease whereas often the imme-
