Predictions were free as the 1 president summoned his ministers to take the oath of office this morn ing that his regime could not last, i Army officers, in their fortified hotel, were charging that the new government was "dragging the I mass of the citizenry to desperation" and were talking ot "trait-1 ors.” The powerful ABC revolutionary society which had much to do with Gerardo Machado's fall definitely was hostile. The OCCR secret society, equally potent, skeptically was hostile. Mario Menocal, former president and leader of the Menocalistas. definitely was against the government. In addition there were two strikes —of laundry and i ice plant workers. They were declared to be of only local significance. i Grau San Martin remained optimistic.

Sept. 12 —(UP —‘Except for two items, the state’s 15 cent tax rate will be set perfunctorily by the state tax board, it appeared today. The board will meet to set the rate, limit.d by the $1.50 limit law to 15 cents, probably Sept. 18, chairman Philip Zoercher announced. The rate must be set by October 1. Os the six levies comprising the rate, all are fixed by law except | two, those for the state general fund and for the teacher- retirement fund. | Those two will be given the greatest consideration when the board meets. Fund representatives will want a high rate to insure income while opponents will argue that the general treasury has greater needs. Estimates of next year’s retirement fund ne ds. on which the levywill be based, are now being figured by experts. The retirement levy , now is 2.4 cents. Little trouble will be caused by ' the general fund levy after the i teachers rate is fixed, because the former will be what is left of the 15 cents after all the other levies are set.

Sept. 12— (U.R) —I Cotton textile profiteers were threatened with prison today by the agricultural adjustment administration. In a dual statement, George N Peek, administrator of the AAA. and Frederic C. Howe, consumer's counsel, analyzed cotton textile prices, mentioned prison and heavy fines for “price cougers” I and urged advertisers of cotton goods to tell frankly what part of the retail cost can be charged off to the cotton processing tax. “While we are out to stop price gouging and will go to considerable lengths to stop it," Peek said. "I have the highest praise for the apparently wide sector of the textile trade which seems to he playing fair with both the farmer and the retailer.” He said, however, that "wide disparity and considerable laxness exists among textile manufacturers in billing retail merchants for increases above contract prices which they attribute to processing taxes and employment costs under the NRA code. Dr. Howe referred to treasury regulations which provide a fine of $1.6D6 and a prison sentence of one year for any person who misrepresents the amount of the processing tax in selling any manufactured commodity. He said he intended to report any deliberate I and persistent misrepresentation to the justice department for action. I Howe announced completion of a survey in five stores in each of 22 representative cities, showing prices of cotton textiles and the , tax thereon for the week of Aug. 36.
