 Army Is I'm Control
 Under the state of war, the army 70 in control of the island and 6nmmary military courts. having fi.e power of death, will try offen- 1crs. The strike was not yet gen. efal, but business activities and Transportation were partly para. lyzed.
 The port strike was virtually Complete. Pan-American Airways was the only organization function 1nG on the water front.
 A state of war was declared Throughout Cuba by the cabinet today just after the zero hour for a general strike, which was de- signed to overthrow the govern mont.
 Simultaneously creation of milI- xary courts was ordered to try summarily cases of persons charg- ed with engaging in public disor- ders.
 RaiIwaymen added their num- berg to tens of thousands of strike and food workers announced they would walk out today. Economic paralysis was creeping through the country.
 II Law of Escape Invoked Their powers limited only by their armed strength, government forces apparently invoked the dreaded Ley De Fuga" Jaw of escape) to kill at least three and probably four oppositionists. Two persons died of wounds d ue to kerroristic incidents Saturday night and two more were reported killed.
 (Under the unofficial Ley De Fuga" sometimes invoked in Latin America, men are arrested, ordered to run, and shot dead. They are officially listed as having been shot while attempting to escape.)
 The governments declaration of n state of war came early today.
 A proclamation issued in the name of "The Plenum of Employees and Students had set last mid. night as zero hour for a natinoal general strike. It called on all Cuban people to join the strike s'against administrative corrup. tton."
 How representative "The Plen' nm" might be was uncertain. But regardless of it's call, workers in many lines, including all branches of transport and employees of most government departments, al- ready were out.
 Havana Is In Terror
 Havana was in a state which showed clearly the terror of peo- pie generally over the prospect Of events to come as the result of a struggle, precipitated by students of Havana university and joined by workers, against the admins fration of President Carlos Mem dieta.
 Mendieta was ready to fight 1t put at whatever cost.

 our current editorials merely near what our editorials have always meant; that we support policies which we believe to be generally beneficial, and oppose policies which we think arc harmful and which interfere with the revival of industry and the return of pros- perity. We have not have any edi- todials attacking President Roose- welt and probably will not have any. We have opposed some of his policies--the MIRA for instance.
 O. Whom will support in the coming campaign?
 Probably Support Roosevelt
 A.. I do not know who will be nominated. suppose 1t will be MT Roosevelt on the democratic ticket and possibly Chief Justice Hughes on the republican ticket if he could be induced to run. He expresses we'll the American idea of orderly, constitutional government. I SUD- pose the republicans will nominate a sound and sincere progressive but not an extreme radical. There is a possibility of the democratic party going so far in the direction of de- structive radicalism that a repub- lican moderationist will have an excellent chance fo election. You see, all the people of the country are not on the dole, although some of the radicals in Washington seem to be trying hard to put them there; nor again are all the demo- crats of the nation on the public payroll although MT Farley's es- n n vn .N them there. Mosto of the people of independent and have a pretty sound, well-balanced viewpoint. They realize that 1t is a thrilling joyride down the radical toboggan. but a long pull back. The vast majority of the voters will want a common sense and constructive candidate to vote for. Sen Hiram Johnson of California would make a good candidate for the republican party as would Sen Borah of Idaho or Sen Narris of Nebraska. These men are very able and judicious American citiczns, progressives but not extremists. I might support any one of them but I will prob ably support MT Roosevelt.
 Jokes on JohnsOn-LOng
 O. What is your opinion of the current controversy between Huey Long and Gen Johnson?
 A. I am in favor of it. You re- member the story of the man and wife who were watching long haired pianist hammer the keys. What do you think of his execu- tion?" said the wife. "I am in favor of it." replied the husband.
 Another phase of the story is concerning the man who was asked what he thought of the convictions of two controversialists. He said: 1T am opposed to their combined convictions: but I am in favor of the convictions of each one sep arately."

JEAN HARLOW IN
 DIVORCE ACTION

Hollywood, Calf, March 11-CU. P.)-Jean Harlow is ready to call it quits with her third husband, Hal Rosson, motion picture cam eraman.
 The screen siren has announced through her attorneys that she will go into court within a week to sever her marital ties. She has an affidavit on file in superior court showing that Rosson. now on a jaunt somewhere in Europe. has been served with her complaint by means of publication.

Miss Harlow and Rosson were married in Yuma, Ariz, in 1888 and were separated in May, 1884. It was Rosson's sarcastic attitude embarrassing her before friends that led to the divorce action, Miss Harlow said.

 Defeating Rebels
(Contiuued from Page n

Helle surrendered to-day in Cav- ala harbor, and was ordered by wireless to proceed from the port to join tho government fleet. A former government engineer, wfo took over the ship. reported to the government fleet that a lombard ment by three government destroy" CTS yesterday crippled the ship.
 His reports indicated the crew mutinied. and may have thrown their officers overheard.
 Raked Mercilessly
 There seemd no doubt for the moment that the rebels were raked mercilessly by the full force of the governments offensive. Airplanes were bombing them from the skies and, sweeping down to wihtin 250 feet of the ground, machine gum ming them.
 eral Camenos abandoned his men and that other officers fled toward the Bulgarian border.
 Americans Safe
 Washington, March 11-(U.P.) All Americans in the war zones in the Greek rebellion are safe, dispatches to the state department to-day indicated.
 The department revealed that American diplomatic representa- tives in Greece had asked and re- ceived tn eco-operation of Turkish consular and diplomatic officials in checking up Americans in the trouble zones.
 The state department. has not a complete list of Americans belieV. ed residing or travelling in Greece,
 The legation at Athens advised the department to-day that the Turkish consul at Komotini, Thrace had made a check of all Americans in that sector and re- ported that they were in no dan- ger.

(Continued from Page 1.) proposed to scrap all code provi- sions except minimum hours, max imum wages and prohibition of child labor. The suggestion promp- ed bitter exchange between Rich- berg and the veteran progressive republican.
 "The codes themselves have pro- vided real protection for small business" Richberg said. He agreed, however, that price-fixing should be eliminated from any new MIRA set-up.
 Rigid Schedule Opposed
 The administrations opposition to imposing upon industry a rigid schedule for hours and wages was placed before the senate finance committee today by New Deal coordinator. Richberg's testimony was interspersed in a confusing exchange of comment and ques- tions by committee members. Sev- eral senators took the opportunity to express personal views on var ious subjects without relating them directly to the question of MIRA extension which the committee was considering.
 In answer to a question by Sen. Hugo l.. Black, d., Ala, author of a bill to impose a 3O-hour week on industry, Richberg said: You can- not devise any infexible rule for industry that doesn't do a multi plicity of injuries and hardships."
 It was planned to interrogate Richberg further tomorrow. Ques- tioning has proceeded slowly, due largely to irrelevant questioning and broad theorizing.
 60 Per Cent of Codes Working
 Black sought to gain more infor- nation regarding the maximum hour requirements of codes. He contended only five codes required a work-week as low as 40 hours
 Richberg asserted that at least GO per cent of the codes imposed work weeks of 40 hours or less. :
 The witness also was questioned about mechanization of industry and said
 q don't see any value or use in endeavoring as a government matter to retard the natural prog ress of industry in increasing pro- duction per unit of labor em- ployed."
 Sen. William E. Gore, d., Okla. discussed for some time his views of processing taxes and economic principles. He argued that prices should be allowed to take their natural course, even to a rock-pot- tom.
 q believe" Richberg said. that Sen. Gore has failed to consider how people would live at rock bottom"
 "oh, mo-" replied Gore. "rd let the farmers keep what they pro- duce instead of taking it a W y from them and giving it to some one who hadn't earned it."
 At another point Richberg ob- served that he believed wages could be placed at uch higf. point that they would destroy the market for goods.

BAREFOOT GIRLS
 DANCE IN CHURCH

Columbia, Mo, March 11-CU.P) Fifteen barefooted Christian Col lege girls, clad in black pajama suits and long gray silk dresses, danced in church here last night and no one objected. Christian Col lege is the alma mater of Fan Dancer Sally Rand. The girls danc- ed their interpretation of the hymns My Faith Looks Up to Thee" "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing", 70 Little Town of Bethle- hem" and "Now The Day Is Over."
 The audience of 300 was double the usual Sunday night congrega- tion. Comments of Elders. deacons and laymen ranged in enthusiasm from "all right to perfectly won- derful." The girls plan a terpis- chorean interpretation of the story of. Ruth in the near future. Mrs Peggy Mintop Rhynsburger said the dances were a revival of old religious customs. Dancing origin ated as a religious expression, she said. but lost the sanction of the church when it degenerated.

ORIENTAL WAY TO
 STOP DEPRESSION

New York, March 11-UP)-- To solve the depression, America should adopt Oriental social views and every man could marry four women, Mrs. Mohammed Essad Bey, American girl who married q Mohammedan author, said today. Oriental social views would not permit man to buy an automo- bile for one wife without buying automobiles for his three other wives. she said. Thus prosperity would be assured, at least for the auto industry.
 She is the former Erika Loewen- dahl and her husband is the biog- rapher of Stalin and the late Czar Nicholas. He was born in Russia of Austrian parents, but became a Mohammedan convert while a child. She said If they lived in an fsIamic country, she would not ob- ject to her husband having three other wives, but since they live in Europe, hem ust be content with one.

 United States Keep Out
 Washington, March 11--(UP)-- Non-intervention in Clban affairs Is and will continue to be the key stone of United States policy to- ward Cuba, despite the renewed strife there. state department offi- cials indicated today.
 officials said there had been nothing in official dispatches from Havana to indicate that either American life or property was se- riously jeopardized by the general strike. The department will con- tinue 1t hands off policy until and unless some serious threat devel- ops. 1t was indicated.
 The Platt amendment to the United States treaty with Cuba, giving the United States authority to intervene in Cuban affairs was abrogated last year with the sign ing of a new treaty.
