PLOT IS THWARTED
BY HAVANA RAIDS
40 Former Army Officers
Arrested and Firearms and
Ammunition Taken.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA, July Might long raids
on the homes of former army ofrcers
are believed by the government today
to have thwarted a major conspiracy.
Nearly 40 former officers, most of
them veterans of the Hotel National
Battle, October ?, 1888, are held on
charges Of conspiracy.
Half dozen machine guns, dozens
Of rifles, revolvers and hand grenades,
and thousands of rounds of ammuni-
tion. along with considerable equip
ment for making bombs, were seized
in the raids.
A raid on an Office in a bank build
ing revealed many incriminating docu-
ments against the erstwhile officers,
Jose Pedraza, chief of Havana police
said.
Fifteen were arrested at the office.
Among those under arrest are
Majs. Pho Alfonso ana Armando Vega
and Capt. Felipe Montero.
The ex-officers have nursed a grudge
against Col. Fulgencio Batista, for
mer sergeant now commander -in-chief
of the army, since he threw them out
OF the service last September 4 when
enlisted men staged a coup and TOOK
over the nations armed forces.
Officers, who barricaded themselves
in the Hotel National in October, were
defeated after heavy fighting.

The Republican party must enlist
the younger men who can and will

the charges of violation against the
Baltimore firm.
IF such an exemption is not grant
cd in two weeks" the Compliance

company will then be directed tC
make back wage restitution to en-
ployes, and that if restitution is not
made the Blue Eagle and the right
to use N. r. A. labels on garments
will be withdrawn and the case re-
ferred to the litigation division

MANY PLANS CONSIDERED.
Government Experts Busy for Months
on n. X. A. Reform.

Government Experts Busy for Months
on n. r. A. Reform.
Government experts have been con-
sidering and working on a multitude
Of plans for many months looking
toward making permanent the funda-
mental features of the N. r. A. and
other business laws of the Govern
ment.
Conclusive plans, however. for such
permanent organization probably will
await more experience in the conduct
of N r. A as a purely administrative
agency, in contrast to its past work
in organizing American industry.
Reports that Hugh S. johnson, N
r. A. head. had given a plan to the
President involving the combination
Of N. r. A. and the Federal Trade
Commission. which was the forerun-
ner of N r. A as Government
business organizer. were we'll in line
with the known beliefs Of Gen. John
son that co-ordinat ton Of these agen-
cies was necessary.
frIvuckeS Tor BUSINESS.
1t has been assumed by officials that
N. r. A. was to be retained in some
form even after it was ended as an
emergency arm of the Government.
The underlying philosophy of N r. A.
was to give business certain privi-
leges which had been forbidden by
the antitrust laws. In exchange for
these privileges it was to increase
wages and otherwise to act socially.
The Trade Commission was founded
In 1914 under President Wilson. Will
son had ideas similar to those found
in N. r. A.. but the Trade Commits
sion's effectiveness was stated to have
been lost because of a series of ad-
verse court decisions and for other
reasons.
Gen. johnson has said that the
commission has not succeeded in Or
ganizing business because its attitude
was punitive rather than cO-Opera-
tive.
Question Of Competition.
A third section of the problem in
wolves the Sherman and Clayton
antitrust acts. These acts attempted
to define certain acts of business as
harmful. They were founded on the
theory that competition must be pre-
served to the fullest. This theory
was modified by court decision until
it came generally to mean that COM
petition could not be restrained in o
harmful-or to use the courts word
"unreasonable"-way
Even so, business felt that 1t did
not know the extent to which 1t could
cooperate within itself under the
law.
N. r. A. was q partial attempt to
clarity this confusing situation 1t
said that business could do q great
many things that it had said it
wanted to do If, at the same time, 1t
would accept a measure Of govern
mental supervision.

QU|NTER IS VICTOR
IN RECEIVER FIGHT
Wins Decision by Eden to
Name Independent Bank
Trustee.

Ralph D. Quinter, receiver for the

won the first round of his fight with
Robert c. Baldwin. receiver for the
Commercial National Bank, when
Referee in Bankruptcy Fred j. Eden
announced he would appoint an in
dependent trustee for the former in
stitution.
Contending Baldwin contemplates
an ineuuitable sale of the companys
assets. Quinter has asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court to take these as
sets out of the hands of the banks
receiver.
Objected to Statement.
At a hearing yesterday on the pc
tition in bankruptcy filed two weeks
ago by Quinter. he submitted a state
ment relating to the affairs of the
company, and counsel for Baldwin
objected to its admission. Eden, how
ever. ruled that it was relevent and
admissible.
The statement said in part:
This Spring, Mr.. Baldwin notified
me that in order to terminate the re-
ceiverShip of the bank, it was neces-
sary for him to liquidate the collateral
loans of the Commercial National Co.
Prices Held Too Low.
1.-THE prices which he placed on the
collateral were so far below their
value that l informed his attorneys
/ did not care to be party to such
a proceeding and intended to recon-
mend to the court that l be discharged
as receiver and the company be al
lowed to file petition in bankruptcy.
If Mr.. Baldwin is allowed to con-
troll or dominate the truSteeship in
bankruptcy. 1t is my belief he will at
tempt to bid in collateral 10 these
loans at less than its worth, in turn
foreClose the real estate notes and at
tempt to make a profit for his re-
ceivership at the expense Of stock
holders and other creditors Of the

Assistant War Secretary Woodring
and other war officials consulted
with the dealer. They worked out an
idea for compromise.
This compromise was to be in the
form of letter from Ford to the
dealer stating that he (Ford) had
complied with N. R. A. rules and
would continue to do so. The letter
was drawn up on the stationery Of
the dealer and addressed to him with
the signature blank. 1t was to be
sent out to Ford later for signature.
1t seemed to be a perfectly good
idea because Ford has complied with
most N. r. A requirements and ex-
ceeded them in some instances.
OF course. WOOdriHg had to get
Johnson's approval on the letter
before it could be sent to Ford. The
War Department Samaritan took
the letter oUer to the general.
johnson suggested teU changes
in tOordino, but generally approved.
He agreed that the letter would
constitute compliance with the
N. r. A.. permitting the Ford dealer
to bid on Government purchases.
Until then. everything t0as per-
feet. After that. nothing was.

in newsmen and informed them that
the N. R. AS foremost antagonist had
surrendered" That would have been

ciates: johnson has been so indis-
Greet, I am afraid the whole thing
is spoiled

general thought the letter from Ford
was real. that it already had been
signed by Ford.
1t was too late then for explana-
tions to do any good
Diplomatic Lying.
The State Department went to un-
usual lengths on the inside to keep
the japanese from getting excited
about the expedition of Army and
Navy bombers to Alaska.
The japanese know very well what
we are sending the bombers up there
for, but in diplomacy it is considered
best to tell a polite lie even when
every one knows you are lying.

Surrender of Ford to
n. r. A. Enormously
Reported.
BY PAUL MALLON.

" vENRY FORD'S surrender to
the N. r. A. was announced
here a few days ago, but it
Il L stood up for only one edition
of the afternoon newspapers.
Then Ford heard about it.
The announcement was valid. all
right 1t came officially from N. r. A.
headquarters-in fact, from no less an
authority than Gen. johnson himself.
Apparently, the only thing wrong with
it was that Ford had not yet been
consulted.
Here is what happened:
A Ford dealer here has been for q
long time the innocent bystander who
was continually getting shot in the
row between Ford and Johnson. This
dealer has been barred from War De-
partment and other contracts because
of Ford's failure to sign up with the
N. r. A. 1t does not mean much to
Ford's volume Of business, but II
means a lot to the dealer.
The War Department sympathized
with the dealers position, and re-
Gently joined with him in an effort
to straighten things out.
