sought TO overthrow Grau, In an
uprising that was to have broken
out simultaneously in key towns all
over the island.
Rebels held some police stations,
the Dragones and Gunabacoa bar
racks and the Atares fortress.
For the moment at least fighting
was centered on the strongly de-
racks on the harbor front near the
Central railway station.

filed with data. The Soviets
were expected, as a result of over
night study, to suggest solutions
OF problems which arose in the
conversations yesterday.
The vital point of the CONVEX
sations was to be reached later In
the day at the White House when
Litvinov meets Mr. Roosevelt again.
From an official source the
United Press obtained the follow
ing outline of progress on the
three main points impeding recog-
ition:
/. The problem OF communist
propaganda in the United States
probably will be solved merely by
a joint understanding between the
United States and the Soviet Union
not to interfere In the domestic
affairs of the other.
2. Claims and debts. The
United States holds the Soviet re-
sponsible for: $1S7,750,OOO loaned
to the Kerensky rlgime by the u.
s. treasury, plus interest; $75,O00,-
900 loaned to the Czarist govern
ment by private America nbank-
ers; and $410,000, 1000 worth OF pri-
vale CldlIuS dBdlIi5t tHV oONict
Union for American property con-
fiscated by the bolsheviki. ON the
other hand, the Soviet has claims
OF an unstated amount for prop
|erty destroyed during the American
Intervention of 1913.
8. Promotion OF trade. No de-
tailed agreement Is expected on
this. However, an r. II. @. credit
OF between 100000 and $780,
100000 for purchase by the Soviet
Union of American cotton, nom
ferrous metal, live stock and mach
inery is understood to be un-
der consideration.
It was regarded as likely that in
a joint communicate from Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Commissar
Lltvinov only the questions OF
recognition and propaganda would
be mentioned and that the financial
questions would be left for final
settlement by the new Soviet am
bassador.
The Soviet representative was
reliably reported to have declined
tentative offers of short-term
credit. It was pointed out that the
Soviet's outstanding financial obli-
cations In Europe will have been
repaid ny the end Of 1894, or early
In 1895.
Litvinov was understood, how
ever, to be In a receptive mood for

Connecticut's very refusal to rat
ify the eighteenth amendment -
1t was one of the two states which
never ratified - may stand In the
way of sale Of the new beer, Leon
ard said. Because Connecticut
didn't ratify some attorneys believe
that national repeal does not effect
the state statute, which prohibits
sale In taverns and restaurants OF
beer stronger than 3.2 per cent.
No definite plan of action has
been determined on by the brew
ers, Leonard explained. He said
there was q possibility Governor
Cross might be able to remove the
difficulties by O proclamation, and
there was also the possibility of q
test case, carried to the supreme
court.
"The whole thing Is rather in q
muddle," Leonard said, land we
are trying our best to work 1t out.
We naturally want to sell the beer
and we think the public wants it."

GREAT BRITAIN
Is AROUSED TO
WORK OF RELIEF
Angry Protest From Labor
Forces Has Stirred Up
the Government

London, Nov. s.-(UP).-Revo.
iutionary revision OF unemploy-
ment relief laws, involving creation
pf q class OF "unemployables" who
may be required to undergo occu-
pationai training, was proposed BY
She government In a bill made pub.
lie today after its introduction In
pafllament.
Angry protest from labor mem
bers and an important 0verturn OF
votes In the next general election
were regarded a certain.
The bill will be considered early
IN the session of parliament that
starts November II and, because OF
the heavy preponderance of the
government supporters, is expected
TO be passed.
There are three main features:
THE government assumes re-
sponsfbiilty for all able bodied un-
employed workers and all relief
EFFORTS will be centered In the gov
eminent.
2-Workless men and women are
grouped In three classes--occasion-
ally unemployed, chronically un-
employed and the destitute, who
may never be able to work again.
3-Insurance benefits, liberalized
during the rule of the labor party,
would be paid as in the first stage
according to the amount of a work.
er's contributions to the insurance
fund.
Occasionally unemployed would
receive normal benefits during the
first 26 weeks of unemployment.
Those who previously had drawn
no benefits for FIVE years. and had
contributed to the fund during that
period, could obtain relief for an
other 26 weeks, or in proportion to
the period during which they had
paid.
Chronically unemployed would be
paid from q fund to which the gov
eminent would contribute f5S,000,-
900 ($290, 000,000) a year and lo-
cal authorities f5,000,000 ($25. 000,-
000). They would be required to
take the despised means test"
similar to pauper's oath and
would be compelled to take any
jobs which a labor exchange Of
fered and could be required to UNI
dergo occupational training.
Aged or other workers unlikely
ever to obtain employment would
be removed from the scope Of the
insurance plan and taken care OF
under poor laws established by
Queen Elizabeth.

Mitchell, on one occasion in 1880, had
given his wife 500 shares Of U. S. Realty
improvement stock, and that at later
time 666 shares of her stock was sold
just before she had to meet an interest
payment.

Of current prices" and to record the loss
on Mrs. Mitchells income tax report
The letter indicated she had paid
$4,000 for the General Motors stock,
that its market value was then $4,000
and that by selling then she would re-
cord loss of $21 300. For the U. S.
Realty stock she had paid $37,225, its
market value was then $4,000 and the
loss would be $20,575.
Martin c. Kunkle, a special agent of
the internal revenue department, who
had examined Mrs. Mitchell's accounts
testified that when Mitchell sold her
the National City stock for an agreed
price of more than 100000 the total
value of her estate was $940,994
The Government contends the sale
could not have been bona fide transac-
tion because Mrs. Mitchell did not have
the money with which to pay for the
stock
The total amount OF the gifts from
Mitchell to his wife from December
20, 1929. to September 8, 1882, Kunkle
testified, was S245 100.

Presidents view" that on the successful
outcome of the world economic and
disarmament conferences depends the
future happiness and prosperity OF the
world"
Britain, the reply said. was "all the
more encouraged by Mr.. Roosevelts S
message because the President places
as the first step of his program adoption
of the draft disarmament convention
presented by the (British) prime min
iste. March 16."
Britain believes that If disarmament

A majority Of London morning news

step toward making the conference a
success.
"It was perhaps the most important
statement yet heard at the conference

by no means over, but great success
has been gained and victory for the
common n-sense cause of international
regulation Of ornaments seems at last
within reach"
Half dozen other newspapers struck
the same chord in varying expressions.
interpretations as to the full effect OF
Americas offer differed, however
One dwelled on "the enormous fact
that America has formally pledged her
self to take henceforth a direct and
active part in the guardianship OF the
peace of the world"
Another said, Extracting the utmost
of promise from Davis words. Americas
role when a war breaks is only to turn

The reports were circulated despite
denials from the japanese legation in
Peiping that Chinese Japanese agree

The reports said that establishment

terror politics and public opinion, which
is distrustful, he is obliged to move
cautiously.
At today's meeting the cabinet rec
ognized that Mr.. Roosevelt had demon
strated an understanding of European
problems. 1t was decided to seek carly
discussion of security at Geneva as
essential to quiet French fears of dis
armament.
General appreciation of the speech
of Norman H. Davis before the confer
ence was tempered today by certain re-
sentiment against q move to discuss re-
duction of materials before security.
Even the Leftist newspaper, Ere

that Davis was guided only by consid-

sisted there must be no repetition Of
