Republican Parhphlet
Charges Pledges -
Are Violated
WASHINGTON. Oct. SI.
The NRA, under fire from
several angles, was clothed
today with the likelihood of be
coming the leading Issue in the
congressional, elections of 1934.'.
.The opening thrust in that cam
paign, democratic and republican
circles agreed, was made in the is
suance of a pamphlet by the Re
publican National committee,
charging President Roosevet had
broken pedgea given in the' party
patform and his speeches last
year. .. . . ' . . . '
In the pamphlet the NRA
came in for scattered tire, but re
publican leaders today were said
to be planning to assail it soon
as a "means of putting Individ
ual enterprise, ambition, initia
tive, thrift, foresight in a straight
jacket." These were the words
used recently by Everett Sanders,
chairman of the Republican Na
tional committee, in describing,
the NRA.
The main charge of the repub
lican congressional campaign,
leaders here said, would be that
had President Roosevelt incorpo
rated the NRA's principles in his
platform, he would not hare been
elected.
Anticipating the attack, the
democrats have tentatively out
lined a strategy which, rather
than defending the NRA, will
contend that It was necessary in
an emergency created by the in-,
eptitude of a republican adminis
tration in dealing with the eco
nomic situation and that it repre
sents emergency treatment of eco
nomic questions rather than fun
damental party principles.
OREGON, CITT, Oct, 31. JP-
Today's dragging of the swift
Clackamas river failed to reveal
the body of Leo Zielinskl, 31,
special deputy sheriff of Marion
county, believed drowned when
his automobile, a light coupe,
plunged Into the stream and was
submerged early Monday.
Likelihood that the body of
Leo Zielinskl would not be re
covered for some time was ex
pressed here last night by Sher
iff A. C. Burk and Newell Wil
liams, chief criminal deputy, who
spent much of the day near the
Clackamas river bridge north of
Oregon City where the young Ma
rion county special deputy is be
lieved to have been drowned
when his car plunged into the
stream early Monday.
The river is muddy and has
risen four feet in the past few
days, making a heavy current
that hinders dragging operations,
Burk said. Because of the cold
ness of the water, appearance of
the body is not anticipated for a
considerable period.

Cabinet Wilt Meet Today
Parliamentary Form
May be Adopted
San Martin Loses Backing
- Of; -Students; Strike
3 'Another Factor
By EDMUND A, CHESTER
"HAVANA, ) Oct. 31. (ff) The
secretary of the Interior in the
Cuban government said tonight
a cabinet session has been called
at noon tomorrow to consider a
change In government and pos
sible adoption of a parliamentary
form.
The concensus in reliable and
well-informed quarters was that
the Grau San Martin regime, in
office less than two months, will
make way for another one in not
more than 48 hours and possibly
within 24.
A ring of opposition to the
Grau government, increasingly
conscious of Its power, .hourly
pressed e 1 o s e r around the ad
ministration with demands for a
change. Bomb explosions, a dally
occurrence in Havana in recent
weeks, punctuated their insist
ence. One let go tonight in a
mid-town drug store, injuring a
woman.
. Hostility from the student body
of the University of Havana, one
of the main bulwarks of Gran's
sap port, coupled with a long
threatened general strike of Cu
ban labor, were the principal
sources of pressure on the gov
ernment. At present. Cuba has two
choices, either to retain President
Grau San Martin with a coalition
government including a legisla
tive commission of 42 or to elim
inate Grau San Martin and retain
the present form of government
with Colon Carlos Mendieta, na
tionalist leader, as provisional
president.
. The student threat had devel
oped Into an ultimatum announ
ced at an uproarious meeting,
giving the government until No
vember 4 "to rectify its present
course."
But it was learned that for
the first time in many months,
all political factions In Cuba hare
agreed that the present situation
is no longer desirable and that
all groups with the exception of
a majority of the student direc
tory, favored Grau San Martin's
elimination.

Intentional Violation of
Law not Proven, Greek
Court Concludes
ATHENS. Oct. 31. JP Hold-
in c that Samuel Insull was guilty
of no fraudulent Intentions, the
appellate court today refused for
a second time the United States'
request that the former Chicago
utilities operator be returnea to
face charges of violating the
bankruptcy laws.
Informed by the presiding
Judge that he was a free man.
Insull smiled broadly and cordial
ly thanked the Greek court, while
his friends and the audience burst
into applause.
The court's verdict pointed out
that while possibly the letter of
the law had been violated in fin
ancial acts attending the collapse
of the Insull utilities empire, the
decision to reject extradition was
reached after full examination of
the extradition treaty.
While declaring that the Judges
took Into consideration Insull's
age (he is 74) and ill health, the
presiding Judge said the verdict
was rendered without prejudice.

Expect 2,500 Acres
Will Be Signed Soon
Farmers desiring to plant flax
should get in touch with the state v
flax industry before the full acre
age requirements for 1934 are
signed up.
It is probable the full 2,50
acres will be signed up at an early
date, for it is the opinion among
flax growers that a better net re
turn per acre can be had from
flax at the new price than from
most any other grain crop that
can be grown.
Another encouraging feature in
the flax Industry is the coopera
tion of the department of agri
culture at Washington with the
Oregon State college in maintain
ing a fibre department at Corval-
lis for experimenting with differ
ent varieties of fibre flax under
Oregon climatic - and soil condi
tions. Some valuable data is be-
ing worked out that is expected -(Turn
