TERROR REIGNS IN HAVANA AFTER TROOPS SLAY SEVEN

FOES OF RULING PARTY SEEKING GENERAL STRIKE Communists in Provinces of Cuba Threaten to Revolt Openly. INTERVENTION IS ASKED President’s Opponents Urge Landing of Marines to End Warfare. By United Press HAVANA, Sept 30.—Communistic workers sought today to force a general strike. Bodies of seven persons in the morgue gave evidence of the government's determination to suppress disorders by arms if necessary. A Communist demonstration scheduled for today held possibilities of a disorder sufficient for a repetition of the bloody scene Friday afternoon when soldiers fired into a crowd in the center of the city. One of the wounded was an American citizen. Though President Ramon Grau San Martin gave permission for today's gathering, he told the United Press that he had embarked on a campaign forcibly to suppress any disorderly activities. The situation was regarded dangerous. Open Revolt Threatened Not only here but in the provinces Communists threatened open revolt. Politicians, who unitedly oppose the government, were asking Americans: "When are you going to land your marines?” Four persons were killed outright and twenty-three wounded when soldiers fired into a crowd of Communists and other workers who were in the Central Fraternity park to bury the ashes of Julio Mella, student patriot assassinated in Mexico City allegedly by agents of deposed President Gernardo Machada. Witnesses told the United Press two children and an old woman fell under the fire of the soldiers' rifles and machine guns. One of the wounded was Joseph Gibson of New York. Universal News Reel photographer. who received four flesh wounds in the leg from a machine gun burst. Wounded In Return Volley Gibson was standing on a roof with four other photographers— James Pergola. Pa the; Delgado, Fox. and Hugo Johnson and Armand Lopez, Paramount. As their cameras recorded the riot below, workers from a balcony of the building exchanged shots with the soldiers. Gibson was wounded in a return volley. Communists urged business men to keep their stores and offices closed until the government was forced to abdicate. They threatened to break windows and wreck stores that opened. Some restaurants, closed for the period of Friday's demonstration, reopened Friday night. There was a trickle of street car and bus traffic. Movie theaters were closed. The bloody incident was the signal for a government move against Communists. Soldiers raided and closed the Communist headquarters. ‘MYSTERY - SCREAMS JUST RADIO THRILLER Screams and cries for help coming over the telephone into the Cherry exchange of the Indiana Belle Telephone Company today sent radio police hurrying to 2946 Park avenue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RULES GIVEN FOR TWO STROKES OF SKY BALL GAME Ocean Roll and Turnwrist End Instructions for City Contest. With the Sky Ball fad started in the city, The Times today presents two more instructions in the method of playing the new game that is being offered to children by this paper and the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company. Prizes will be given to winners in the three classes of players. Use only the Green Times-Em-Roe Sky Ball in the contests. Two methods of play were described Friday and with those for a basis, children can swing into the more complicated motions. When you master the four sets of instructions then it is up to you to devise novel methods of play that will place you above the average in the sectional contests, Oct. 14, with the hope of winning the finals a week later. The Ocean Roll and Turnwrist are described today. Ocean Roll Explained The Ocean Roll is the most interesting and satisfying stroke, since, if you can master the principle of it (the circular swing which the bat describes), you can easily learn to do the Flying Dutchman five different ways. Put your index finger on the back of the paddle (the side which has “Sky Ball” printed on it) and hold it firmly in your hand. A good grip that prevents the paddle from turning in your hand will save a lot of unnecessary misses. Hold the ball in your left hand at the same level as the bat and about two feet away from it. When you swing toward the ball do not make a flat swing, but follow the bottom line of an oval shape (starting at the right going to the left). After you hit the ball you start on the backward swing by raising your bat like the top of an oval shape. That completes your circle, but the bat never stops. It smoothly continues down, forward hnd upward and a little practice will soon give you the feel of the correct stroke. Tournament in Detail Be sure to always keep your eye on the ball. Never look at the paddle, but keep your eye glued to the ball. The turnwrist only can be done satisfactorily on a smooth surface (sidewalk, good asphalt street, hardwood floor, etc.) Hit the ball so that it hits the ground in front of you and comes back to you with as low a bounce as possible. After the forward swing of the paddle, the latter continues in a downward swing and on through past your body. Start the upward swing about one foot behind your body and strike the ball with the back of the paddle, hitting the ball forward and upward at about a 30 degree angle. You now are ready to start all over again, hitting the ball which is being pulled toward your bat by the rubber string, downward to the ground and continuing as before. Stand upright while you play with the Sky Ball. Do not bend over trying to reach the ball. Make the ball come to you. Do not exert yourself, but try to execute all the’ throv/s as gracefully as you can. Get your Sky Ball now and clip the entry blank on this page to become a contestant.

Harmony Note Sounded by State and City Police

Co-Operation Pledged After Morrissey and Wilson Score Leach. A note of harmony was sounded Friday afternoon at the conclusion of a conference of Police Chief Mike Morrissey, Detectives Chief Fred Simon and Prosecutor Herbert Wilson with Governor Paul V. McNutt and A1 G. Feeney, director of the state department of safety. The conference of the state and municipal officials w T as held to air charges that statements by State Police Captain Matt Leach are responsible for the failure of Indiana to obtain custody of John Dillinger, alleged gangster-bank robber, who is held in Ohio. Feeney announced at the close of the conference that “the closest of co-operation would mark the future activities of the state and Indianapolis police.” Although armed with extradition papers signed by the Governors of both Indiana and Ohio, local police failed to get Dillinger at Dayton Thursday. Instead, he was turned over to Lima (O.) authorities. Dillinger was paroled by the state clemency board six months ago. Since his release from the Indiana state prison, he is alleged to have been a gang leader in numerous Indiana bank robberies. Arrested at Dayton, on information supplied by Captain Leach, he was indicted by the Marion county grand jury for participation in the Massachusetts avenue bank robbery. After his arrest. Captain Leach went to Dayton and upon returning to the statehouse, criticised the conduct of the Dayton police. He was credited with saying that he might have prevented the Indiana prison break had Dayton police surrendered to him certain letters found on Dillinger. These statements, it is alleged by local police and the prosecutor’s office, were instrumental in preventing return of Dillinger to this city. Captain Leach is in the Calumet district working on the prison break. That he enjoys the full confidence of Governor McNutt was indicated when the chief executive announced

REALTY GROUP TO WAGE FIGHT ON TAX RATES State Group May Appeal to U. S. Court in Move Against Order. First verbal barrage in the battle attacking the declaration of tax emergency by the county board of tax adjustment, which blocks provisions of the $1.50 law, was fired shortly after the board issued an order Friday fixing the total rate. Albert E. Uhl, president of the Indiana Real Estate Association, called the order “an insult to the intelligence of the taxpayers” and Lawrence G. Holmes, secretary of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, threatened appeal of the order which raised the total tax rate above the $1 rural limit and the $1.50 urban maximum. “It is possible that we will attempt to enjoin the collection of taxes in federal court on the theory that the board’s disregard of the $1.50 law will mean confiscation of property without due process of law,” Mr. Uhi declared. "We are not certain of carrying the matter to federal court, but I will say that we intend to take the matter into court, if the state tax board does not reduce the levies.” Brands Act Insult “The Action of the county tax board in reducing the tax levies for the various municipalities in the county by only 2 cents is an insult to the intelligence of the taxpayers,” Uhl said. Required by law to explain why an emergency exists for raising the tax rate above $1.50, the board adopted a resolution establishing seven separate points. Forest M, Knight, Indianapolis realtor, was the only member of the board to vote against the resolution. He explained his vote by stating that he was not in favor of the resolution except as it provided for debt service and the reductions made by the board during its session. Cites Reasons for Act The points are: 1. Existing contractual and governmental obligations. 2. Fixed charges of municipal corporations. 3. Necessity of maintaining reasonable efficiency in governmental functions, protecting and preserving property of municipal corporations, together with the preservation of the peace, health, safety, sanitation, well being and educational facilities of the general public. 4. If the repective levies should be combined to meet requirement of the $1.50 law it would be impossible to carry on and maintai na reasonably adequate and efficient government. Action Near Deadline 5. Large reductions in taxable property valutions made by the officials having authority in such matters. 6. That board must act before Oct. 1. 7. The pressing necessity and exigency which exists on account of each and all of the foregoing. Inclusion of the valuation reductions in the formal order of the board appears to represent a possible solution of the tax situation in the future. Russell Wilson, representative of the school city on the tax board, moved adoption of the resolution. It was seconded by Frank Quinn, vice-president of Kingan & Cos. The order was prepared by Joseph Daniels, school board attorney; Edward Knight, corporation counsel; James E. Deery, city attorney, and Charles Clarke, county attorney. After the vote was announced the board members signed the resolution and adjourned. A change was made in the previously adopted Pike township rate to raise the total rate to $1.85.

HOSPITAL ‘NEW DEAL LAUNCHED AT CONFERENCE Plan to Reduce Costs to Patients Explained by Dr. Benson. The "new deal” campaign of the four Methodist hospitals in Indiana to reduce hospital costs to patients Friday was launched at the annual conference of the Methodist church. The plan, which calls for raising of $3,000,000 throughout the state to care for building costs, was explained at the conference by Dr. John G. Benson, Indianapolis Methodist hospital superintendent. “A movement of all philanthropic persons for the benefit of all needy ones, sponsored by the Methodist people,” was the way Dr. Benson described the movement. “The new deal program for our Christian hospitals proposes to distribute and democratize both the privileges of Christian hospitalization and its responsibilities. “The family with a hospital service bond tucked away need never fear the evil day of sickness. “Disease is about the only form of democracy left, and to meet its ravages, hospital methods must be democratized. This is a movement above creeds. It is to enlist the philanthropic services of all good people.” The conference was expected to recommend that the third Sunday in November, national Methodist day, be marked by bringing the message of the new deal movement to the people in the churches. AIDS SONIN COURT : HEART ATTACK FATAL Believed a victim of heart disease, Henry Pickett, 59, of 5018 Harvey street, died suddenly Friday afternoon following efforts to aid a son who faced a preliminary hearing in a justice of the peace court on a paternity charge.

UPHOLDS INCOME TAX ON OUT-STATE GOODS Original stand taken by the gross income tax division that goods of out of state corporations held in original packages in Indiana warehouses must be taxed when sold, was reinforced Friday through an opinion of Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr. Such goods are subject to the gross sales tax, the opinion held. Collector Clarence Jackson today also called attention to the fact that the federal gasoline tax is not deductable from gross sales.

LEGION ARMIES FLOOD CHICAGO FOR CONVENTION Roosevelt Talk Will Mark Opening of Fight for Veteran Relief. By United Press CHICAGO. Sept. 30. First phalanxes of a legion mightigr than Rome ever knew flooded into the world’s fair city of Chicago today for what was promised as the largest convention ever held. One hundred and fifty thousand American Legion members facing a crucial crossroads in policy and an eequal number of other visitors attracted by the veterans' conference were gathering. National Comamnder Louis A. Johnson made all arrangements for the entertainment Monday of President Roosevelt whom he confidently expects will address as many Legionnaires as can be packed into the I Chicago stadium where the Presii dent was nominated last year. Battle Is Forecast The President’si visit was awaited eagerly as it was his action in cutting $400,000,000 from veterans’ payments lasts pring which brought the | powerful veterans’ group to its present crisis. The legion was expected to order a vigorous battle in congress this winter to win back most of the $400,000,000 cut out by Roosevelt’s economy program. A studied plan of attack has been drawn up, and indications were it would receive virtually unanimous support. Program Is Outlined The program which the veterans are expected to vote calls for restoration to all veterans injured in line of service all benefits in effect prior to last spring, government hospitalization of all veterans in need of treatment and unable to pay for it. restoration of the socalled presumption of service connection of disabilities in accord with laws wiped out last spring, re- ! newal of benefits for dependents of ! veterans and perpetual government protection of widows and children of deceased veterans.
