Hunger Threatens to Enter Scene of Havana s Revolt-Seething Streets
SAN MARTIN
YET REFUSES
TO QUIT POST
HAVANA, Sept. 22. —(/P)— With
outward calm this capital today
sat on a tinder box of rebellion
and hunger.
The government of Pres. Ramon
Grau San Martin was still at odds
witm its political foes, but was ex
pected to reply negatively to the
opposition’s demands for his resig
nation.
Hunger Threatens
Soldiers still had trouble with
rebel forces of Juan Bias Hernan
dez, veteran campaigner against
former Pres. Machado, in Cama
guey province.
And, as available stores of food
stuffs dwindled, residents of Ha
vana checked their supplies as
warehousemen continued on strike
and estimates were made that the
capital would go hungry if the
strike continues another week.
Representatives of the student
directory, leaders of the pro-gov
ernment factions, conferred last
night and early today with Miguel
Mariano Gomez, leader of the Ma
rianistas, one of the five leading
opposition groups.
Street Fights Continue
It was understood the students
tried to persuade the former mayor
of Havana to relent in his insist
ence that Grau San Martin Quit in
favor of a “truly nationalist gov
ernment.”
There were rumblings below the
surface. At a manifestation of
5,000 persons around the presiden
tial palace there were cheers for
Grau San Martin, in which one
man was critically stabbed when
he disagreed with another in the
crowd.

Ex-Preacher Fined
SAN BENITO. — A one-time
preacher was fined a total of $14.50
in Judge Crockett’s court on a
simple assault charge growing out
of the stalling of an automobile in
a mudhole. The victim testified
that the assailant became impa
tient because a group of men on
their way to work were in no hur
ry to help him out. The testi
mony was that the former preach

cause they did not get out of the
car right away to help him and
that he struck one of them.

VALUATIONS
ARE SLASHED
(Special to The Herald)
McALLEN, Sept. 22. — McAllen
city commission has decreased city
valuations by $1,045,905 for 1933
in accordance with recommenda
tions of the city equalization board,
according to announcement Thurs
day at the city hall. Assessed valu
ations for this year will total $3,
852,775 in the city, the lowest figure
since 1929.
The 1933 tax rate was again set
at $2.50, the legal limit for a city
the size of McAllen, but the saving
to taxpayers will be effected in the
lowered valuations. The 1932 rate
was also $2.50 on the $100 valuation,
and the 1932 valuation total was
$4,898,680.
City officials stated the rate
would be generally divided into two
divisions, $1.50 for general operat
ing expenses and the chamber of
commerce, which is supported by
taxation, and $1 for service of out
standing indebtedness.
A new economy program will also
go into effect at the opening of the
fiscal year, a saving of $1,200 an
nually being made by reduction of
employes’ salaires ad an additional
saving in the curtailment to a cer
tain extent of the street lighting
system and the municipal garbage
service.

federal relief funds, preliminary to'
action on legislation to set up
machinery to handle up to $20,000,
000 in state relief funds.
Lawrence Westbrook, director of
the commission, who occupied the
witness stand three hours, gave a
detailed explanation of sections of
a 1,500-page report, prepared at
request of the legislature, showing
the physical setup of the organiza
tion. the number of employes,
amounts received and disbursed
and administrative costs.
Westbrook said there had been
numerous abuses in distribution of
relief money since relief work was
started in Texas, under supervision
of former Gov. R. S. Sterling and
Gov. Miriam A. Ferguson and since
establishment of the commission.
A system of accounting has been
installed that will eliminate much
of the likelihood of frauds, he sain.
Nine per cent of the -elief funds
distributed in August was charged
to administration costs, Westbrook
said, the costs including 1,427 em
ployes with an average monthly
salary per employe of $76.05. The
average administrative costs for
three months ending August 31 was
6.68 per cent, whereas the national
average was 7 per cent, he said.
The August increase in adminis
tration charges resulted from ad
ditional federal regulations, al
though this was more than offset
by removals of persons from relief
rolls, Westbrook testified. Through
expenditure of an additional $500
in Travis county, $40,000 was saved
by eliminating unworthy cases, he
said.
Westbrook said that in three or
four instances county welfare
boards were functioning that had
net been approved by the county
commissioners courts.
Among items causing increased
supervising expenses, Westbrook
cited the canning program, re-em
ployment aid, commissary opera
tions and other activities.
Wide variance between adminis
trative charges in Tarrant and
Bexar counties was snown in West
brook’s testimony. In Tarrant
county the cost was $1,300 while in
Bexar it was $18,000. although the
expenditure of funds in Bexar
county was only one-third in ex
cess of Tarrant county.
RUSSIA WILL
HARVEST RICH
GRAIN CROPS
MOSCOW, Sept. 22. (£>)—Soviet
Russia now has a grain crop so
rich as to preclude a possible re
currence this year of a food short
age that recently caused many
deaths of humans and cattle.
This was apparent during a
week’s tour just completed by the
Associated Press correspondent in
the Ukraine and North Caucasus,
Russia’s huge break baskets.
Alexander Asatkin, chief of the
political sections in the Ukraine, in
a formal interview at Kharkoff es
timated the percentage of deaths
in his area last winter and spring
from causes related to undernour
ishment.
The censor in Moscow, however,
refused to permit the transmission
of Asatkin’s figures to America on
the grounds that they were “not
official”, although they were con
siderably less than the “millions”
reported abroad.
“The mortality of cattle and
“horses was extremely heavy,” said
the official.

Storm Pins
Money To
Wall
LOS FRESNOS, Sept, 22.—The
storm did an even $14 wallpaper
ing job at the house occupied by
Wiley Patterson, in charge of the
re-lift pumping plant for the Los
Fresnos irrigation district ac
cording to a story which is go
ing the rounds.
Patterson did not like the way
the wind was blowing Labor Day
and hurriendly departed for Rio
Grande City. He left in such a
big hurry, in fact, that he left
two five dollar bills and four ones
lying on a table.
While he was gone the wind
lifted the roof off the building
and did other damage to the
house, justifying Patterson’s worst
fears. Among other things, the
wind picked up the six bills and
plastered them neatly on the wall
where he found them upon his
return.
The district suffered about $10,
000 worth of damage to its vari
ous buildings here and on the
river.
FDR DIRECTS
$ 7 5,000,000
IN m AID
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. —(JP)—
A $75,000,000 program promising aid
simultaneously to the farmer and
the unemployed today was direct
ed by Pres. Roosevelt to help
bridge the gap between surplus
supplies and consumption.
At the president’s order, the agri
cultural adjustment and federal
relief administrations prepared to
purchase quantities of foodstuffs
and staples for distribution to the
destitute on relief rolls.
Jobless Get Surplus
“Through his action much of the
oversupply of important foodstuffs
and staples will be placed in the
hands of the destitute unemployed
who are living on the short shift
of public employment relief,” said
the White House announcement
which Pres. Roosevelt discussed
with newspapermen.
The plan, as outlined personally
by the chief executive last night,
“will add to and not replace items
of relief already provided.”
Under consideration for handling
in a manner similar to the 100,000,
000 pounds of cured pork recently
distributed by the relief adminis
tration were such products as beef,
dairy and poultry products and
products of cotton and cotton seed.
Officials estimated $75,000,000 would
be expended on such purchases
but this figure was not final.
Attack Hunger Problem
“The president said he considered
the program arranged between the
agricultural adjustment adminis
tration and the federal emergency
relief administration one of the
most direct blows at the economic
paradox which has choked farms
with an abundance of farm prod

ucti while many of the unemployed
have gone hungry” the White
House statement said.
“He has directed the depart
ments concerned to expedite in
every possible way their combined
attack on the food-surplus and
hunger problems.”
