CALUMET CITY, Ill, Sept. B.
Illinois beer dealers operating Sa-
looms on the state line were making
strong bid for Indiana business
today. cutting the price to as low as
thirty-two ounces for 10 cents.
Indiana retailers have refused TO
lower their prices and as result
MANY of their former customers are
flocking across the line to take ad-
vantage of the bargains in draught
beer.
The standard price in many Hi
nois saloons is twenty-four ounces
for 10 cents. A few dealers are
selling a quart for that price, and
one proprietor has offered tickets
for $50 which entitle the buyer to
fifty beers.
Tires were slashed on four auto
mobiles parked in front of a state
line tavern early Thursday While
Illinois cars were not molested. This
led to the belief that Indiana deal
ers were attempting to intimldate
Hoosiers from taking their business
out of the state.

HAVANA, Sept. 8.-Cuba'S reVo-
lutionary government appealed ur-
gently to army officers and political
leaders of all parties today to unite
in it's support. Only by united
action could order be preserved and
American intervention avoided, the
government said.
Members of the government left
the palace, exhausted, to get a few
hours rest before another meeting
at noon. They expressed optimism
that army officers and politicians
would rise as patriots to the emer-
gency and support them.
They did not seem to wish to con-
slider the ernative-American in
tervention-that refusal of support
would bring.
U. S. Warships in HarbOr
Events of the hours before and
during the long meeting showed
how important any move from any
political faction might be.
The American cruiser Richmond
and destroyer cambridge arrived
in Havana harbor, joining the
destroyer Mcfarland. The de-
stroyer Sturtevant was at Santiago,
at the other end of the island. Other
deStroyers were on the way to
various ports.
Communists, students and women
threatened to defend the capital if
marines were landed.
Red Demonstration Halted
A Communist demonstration that
might have precipitated riot was
handled with utmost skill.
Railwaymen threatened to go on
strike again unless by Monday mid
night the government promised bet
ter conditions.
It was to harmonic such factors
as these that the committee gov
eminent met. Political leaders and
army officers were called in. There
were conferences of all sorts, mixed
and separate, eliminating with a
meeting of officers at 4:30 a. m.

STATE TO GIVE
MILLIONS FOR
SCHOOL WORK
MCNutt Pledges Huge Sum
for Education in Next
Fiscal Year.
BOARD HEARS PROGRAM
Formula Sent to Officials
Working on Budgets
and Tax Rate.

Governor Paul v. McNutt today
pledged $17500,O00 to grade and
high schools of the state before the
end of the 1934-35 school fiscal
year.
In making public his promise to
pay, the chief executive predicted
that $10000,000 Immediately can
be slaShed from the 1884 local tax
levies through budgets now awaiting
action before county tax adjustment
boards.
State payments to schools have
not been given proper consideration
in making up the budgets, he said.
So formula based on the Gov
ernor's estimates has been worked
out and is being sent to all local
officials having anything to do with
the school budgets and tax rate.
McNutt discussed the program to-
day with members of the state edu-
cation board.
Millions to Be Given
RevnueS will be received by the
school units from the excise collec-
tionS on Nov. l and May l. Gross
income tax receipts will be dis
tributed Jan. l and July l.
Total distribution for the school
year 1933-34 will amount to more
than $7,800,000, and 1934-35 the
amount will be $9,70O,OOO according
to the Governors estimates.
1t was estimated that not more
than $7,5O0,000 has been allowed in
1884 school budgets for state pay
ments and this should be increased
by adjustment board to at least
$4,000, 900, the Governor said.
The entire sum of $17,5OO,OOO will
be lifted from the shoulders of the
property taxpayers during the next
two school years, the Governor
pointed out.
Average payment by the state will
equal 5000 per teacher, he said.
Agreed to Pay $500
Under the law the state agreed
to pay $500 per teacher a year, if
the money was available.
County auditors were warned by
Chairman Phil zoercher of the state
tax board to see that county adj
Justment boards take into considera-
ton the state estimates of school
payments.
The board will insist that every
cent of the $17.5OO,O 900 be deducted
before the close of the school fiscal
year for which budgets, in most
cases now are being made, zoercher
declared
George c. Cole. state superin-
tendent of public instruction, has
advised all school officials through
out the. state to cooperate with
tax adjustment boards in bringing
about lower property tax levies.

Roosevelt to Approve
So under cover were the pre-
liminary negotiations for the loan
that even Congressman Louis Lud-
low never heard of the enterprise
until Thursday night, although for
NAL approval to the loan was given
Thursday by the public works adj
ministration, and the papers were
sent to the White House for final
sanction of President Roosevelt.
The President is expected to con-
slider the Indianapolis housing
project, along with a large number
of other projects, this week lend, and
give his final approval next Monday.
Ludlow was not the only one
caught off guard Senator Van
Nuys had not heard of the project.
Otto P. Deluse, John N. Dyer and
Lew G.. Ellingham, who constitute
the Indiana public works advisory
board, and who are in Washington
trying to speed up federal approval
of Indiana projects, admitted
Thursday night that the Indianap-
oils housing project never was ten
rede for their approval. Deluse pro-
fessed not even to know who was
behind the project.
Given Low Interest
Formal announcement concern
ing the housing enterprise will not
be made until after President
Roosevelt has approved the action
of the public works board.
1t is understood the 81, 900 will
be loaned to the Limited Dividend
Corporation at low rate of inter
est, probably q or Az per cent, and
that profits of the corporation will
be limited to approximately per
cent.

Johnson Backs President
When President Roosevelt's econ

non-service connected disabilities
almost entirely out of the national
budget, the legion was astounded by
Commander Johnson's swinging
souarelv behind the President.
This is not the time fer politics,

and woman must put a shoulder to

more unreasonable condemnation in
the last two years than the veterans.

made to separate the sheep from the
