MONTEvIDEo, Uruguay, December
27-The Republic of Uruguay today
broke relations with Soviet Russia.
The Uruguayan foreign of1ice handed
passports to Alexander Minkin, the
Russian Minister. 1t also gave pass
ports to the other members of the
Russian legation.
The action was regarded as part
of strong precautionary measures
against rumors of an armed rebellion
inspired by Communist sources.
Uruguay had been the only South
American nation to recognize the gov
ernment at Moscow The break was
largely a ramification of the Com
munist uprisings in Brazil. Uruguay's
neighbor, last month.
A Brazilian government commune
cation charged that instructions to
leaders of the abortive November re-
bellion were dispatched from Monte
video.
Brazilian Activity Charged.
The chief instigator of the upris-
ings was alleged to be Luiz Carlos
Presters. associated with the Third
Internationale.
The Brazilian government COM
planned that the Soviet legation itself
was implicated in the sending OF
revolutionary instructions to Brazil.
The communication followed nu-
merous recent accusations by South
American politicians and press that
widespread Communistic agitation was
being directed from Montevideo.
Raids and troop movements accom-
panied the Uruguayan government s
activities in the face of reports of an
imminent insurrection within its own
borders. but nothing was found i'm
mediately to confirm the rumors.
Automobiles and trains leaving and
entering Montevideo were closely
watched. Troops reinforced the su-
pervision along the Brazilian and Ar
gentine borders. and police descended
on the homes of several alleged oppo-
sitionist elements.
Even supporters Of the government
Of President Gabriel Terra, which was
reorganized last March with the crea-
ton of new portfolios, came under
surveillance. The houses of two gov
ernment men were reported raided.

RIVALRY CURTA|LS
EARNINGS ON TIRES
Handicaps of Competition
Prevent Gains Despite
Auto Activity.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy lllC ao5OSldbcu NACoos
NEW YORK, October 8-Handicaps
imposed by intense competition and
narrow profit margins have prevented
the automobile tire manufacturing
companies from enjoying any marked
recovery in earnings this year in spite
of a largely increased production Of
motor cars.
This is the unvarying report of those
who keep themselves informed on de-
velopments in the industry. And it is
in curious contrast with the testimony
concerning the value of the years high
rate of motor output to the steel in
dustry, the glass industry and to those
numerous manufacturing interests
which constitute the motor accessories
group.
Unable to Get Share.
All Of these have proflted in a COM
mensurate way from the accelerated
rate of car production. The tire manu-
facturers alone seem to have been
unable to carry a fair share of the
increased gross income to the net in
come column.
Inability to obtain satisfactory prices
is perennial complaint with the tire
makers. The background Of this
problem is sketched by the Fitch Pub
nshing Co. in the following comment:
Competition conditions in the tire
industry continue extremely keen. This
is true not only between the different
manufacturers. but more especially in
the retail trade.
Mail order houses, oil filling sta
tions, directly owned chains and inde-
pendent retail dealers have all been
competing principally on a price basis.
and with costs and expenses continu-
ing on high level, tire companies
earnings have suffered in proportion"
Tire Prices Reduced.
The survey goes on to say that sales
Of tires for original equipment con-
tinae large and that such sales for
the third quarter and early weeks Of
the current quarter are likely to
register further gains due to the earlier
production Of 1886 models on the part
of automobile manufacturers.
1T is not likely, however, that such
sales will be reflected in increased
earnings" it adds. Prices on tires
sold for original equipment are under
stood to have been reduced. This price
cut further reduces manufacturers
profit margins at a time when heavy
production is to begin"
A further deterrent to expansion of
earnings, according to the Fitch Co.,
has been the industry's inability to
build up larger replacement demand.
This has been attributed to the prog
ress made in tire retreading.

Mortgage Holder Benefited
by Including Interest
In Bonds.

While the volums Of mortgage in

Acting Federal Housing Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald announced today
that administration program has

to the national housing act.
This amendment provides that, upon

benture bonds which include In their
face amount interest on the unpaid
principal OF the mortgage ct the rate
provided BY the bond from the date

the delivery Of the bond.
Under the old terms Of the oct the
holder would have received only .

MANY MATERIALS
DECORATE BATHS
LinoIeum, Rubber Tile and
Glass Tile Available for
Modernizing.

In modernizing bath room or con.
verting unused spaces into bath rooms
or powder rooms, the home owner may
choose between some 30 different ma
terials suitable for use on the walls
and doors, the Plumbing and Heating
Industries Bureau points out.
Some Of these materials are not new,
but their use In the bath room Is new.
Among these materials are linoleum.
waterproof wallpaper, asbestos wains-
coting, asphalt tile flooring, metal tile,
rubber tile and glass tile.
All Of these materials, according to
the bureau, are entirely practical for
use in the bath room because Of their
moisture-resisting qualities. They are
easily cleaned and are available in .
variety Of colors.
Work Net Expensive.
The low cost of these materials, as
we'll ~ the ease of application, makes
them desirable for moderniHng work.
They may be applied to existing walls
without expensive preparation.
In replacing obsolete equipment In
. bath room or in converting closets
and hall ends into bath rooms, the
majority of home owners wish to 80
apportion the budget that they will be
assured, first Of all, of the best plumb
ing fixtures they can get for the
money. 1t is generally realized that
the plumbing equipment Is. after all,
the most essential part Of the bath
room modernidng job and that 1t Is
not wise to purchase fixtures of in
ferior quality.
With the use of the smart and less
expensive materials for the walls and
floors Of the modernized bath room,
the home owner is enabled to have
the better type OF plumbing fixtures,
and still have wall and floor mate
rials that are attractive, colorful and
