Fox Conner, former commanding general of the Hawaiian CALL HEARING FOR THURSDAY ON SUGAR PACT Agriculture Department Sets Time For Considering Market Agreement Surplus of Sugar Beet Is In Prospect As Harvesting Is Under Way (Associated Prest by Wireless) WASHINGTON, Aug, 9. Representatives of American sugar growers said Tuesday night that they intended to resist pians fixing a quota for American beet sugar production in the marketing agreement, on which administrators open hearing Thursday. Leaders issued a statement to the effect that injustice would result if American beet sugar growers had limits placed on their production as sugar beets form the only major American crop, of which a surplui will not be produced at present. (Associated Press by Wireless) WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.

With sugar beet harvesting under way and a large, surplus available, the department of agriculture today called a public hearing beginning Thursday, August 10, on the tentative marketing agreement reached recently by producers and refiners. Indications are that the crop will produce 7,500.000 short tons of raw sugar. John Lee Coulter, tariff commissioner working on the agreement, said the market would absorb 6.350,000 short tons, pointing out the necessity for restriction. Mr. Coulter described the present sugar market a fairly satisfactory, but attributed this condition to destruction in Puerto Rico by a hurricane of about 250,000 tons of raw sugar, and to segregation by Cuba of 350.000 long tons which Cuba refuses to sell until a satisfactory price is reached.

Warns of Collapse He said the market is strong on account of expectation that an agreement will be reached, but warned that "collapse of the sugar market would not only ruin those in the sugar industry but have a very bad effect on the general market structure." Members of the committee which framed the draft of an agreement now in the hands of the agricultural adjustment administrator made reservations which Mr. Coulter said were -'more fundamental reservations pertaining to adjustment of supply and demand." The amount of refined sugar in the Philippine quota is the same as indicated in the independence act. The Puerto Rico and Hawaii quotas represent approximately their recent productivity, which Mr. Coulter said is closely related to the present capacity of Puerto Rican and (Continued on Page 3, Col. 4) CHEWINK DUE THURSDAY The TJS3 Chewink, a submarine tender, will arrive in Honolulu Thursday at 11 a.

Aug. 9.

Imminent action by President Roosevelt in the Cuban crisis appeared in prospect today with the arrival of a confidential report by plane from Washington. The nature of the action was not revealed.

It was learned that while the president does not wish to interfere with Cuba's internal affairs, he wants a well ordered government there. (Associated Press by Wireless) HAVANA, Aug.

9. President Gerarrio Machado this afternoon decreed a state of war throughout Cuba, effec-i tive at 6 p. m. today. At the presidential where the announcement was made, no indication was given of the government's attitude toward the United States demana that President Machado resign.

The strike late today was approaching general proportions and iiad normal activities in Havana. The government station broadcast an announcement that soldiers would occupy Havana at 6 p. m. The decree was issued, it stated, because the general strike had given "enemies of public peace" an opportunity to "create a revolutionary state in the country." Conferences in Havana Government leaders conferred today with President Machado apparently to decide whether the president would relinquish his post to end Cuba's political turmoil and bloodshed. One of the outstanding participants in the conference was Orestes Ferrara, secretary of state, who arrived by airplane from the United States.

U. S. Ambassador Sumner Welles waited lor President Machado to say whether lie would yield the presidency in the interest of peace.

Charles H. Upton, chief federal parole officer of northern California, was named today parole officer of Hawaii as part of his present job. This appointment, made in Washington, designated him as the man to whom the four parole officers in Hawaii must report regularly by letter.

BOARD TO BUY ONLY OF NIRA CODESIGNERS Supervisors Vote To Back Administration Program; Rule Effective Sept. 1 Despite an eloquent 15 minute plea by Supervisor William B. Pitt-man, the board of supervisors late Tuesday voted to back the administration's NIRA program by boycotting in city and.

county business those firms which have not fallen in step with the blanket code by September 1. The resolution, introduced by Supervisor Louis S. Cain, provides that the city will refuse to purchase materials and supplies from concerns which have not signed the recovery act covenant, such action to be taken whenever practicable. Mr. Pittman, who cast the only dissenting vote, protested that the step is premature.

"If the recovery act is to be effective," he said, "it will be by public sentiment and never by coercive action of This resolution may be interpreted as an advance threat to use government pressure." In supporting his bill Mr, Cain answered: "Let's assume that it is a threat; but the men we are threatening are not the public. They are the merchants, a minority, and I'm sure that of this minority 90 per cent will fall in line with the NIRA regulations so that a boycott will serve chiefly as protection for these merchants who support the administration's program." The resolution reads as follows: "Be it resolved that all departments are hereby instructed to confine all city and county purchase, wherever practicable, to those firms which have signed the national recovery act covenant, pledging support to the federal administration's efforts to overcome the national depression. This resolution is to be effective after September 1, 1933."

Miss Carter was 73 when she died early in 1933. leaving more than in many public and private bequests. Tuesday Aaron Babikian of Everett, brought suit charging he was influenced to quit a lucrative Job in a hotel where Miss Carter lived for many years.

When she moved to another hostelry, Babikian charged, he was in fluenced to lave the first hotel by Lt. Brown, who promised to pet him a post in the second hotel "in order that no new servants might interfere with the intimacy and confidence Brown had established between himself and Miss Carter." Babikian asserted he failed to set the job at the new hotel and has since been idle.

Today's message, 'which clarifies an important local situation, was sent to the chamber by the executive secretary of the president's reemployment organization. It was in reply to a message sent to Washington recently by the chamber and which read as foilows: "In preparing a code for retail merchants of this community it is understood that 48 hours per week will be satisfactory to the administration. "This differs with the hours suggested in the president's blanket code. We desire to know if a 43 hour week is acceptable as a working basis here.
