BUREAU Giilhiah ty Attorney General John D. Rice of Salt Lake, representing Governor Gover-nor Bipod, in urging the speedy approval ap-proval of the Deer Creek project. Confer With Ickes .Senator King arranged for a conference , today with Secretary Ickes, head of the public works administration, ad-ministration, in order that the visiting Utahns may stress the importance im-portance of the early adoption of the reclamation program and especially es-pecially the Utah projects, including includ-ing teer Creek. It appears that there are enemies to the reclamation program in the high places on the allocating board of the public works organization. The board has. been ignoring this program consistently in spite of the fact that Secretary Ickes was recently re-cently fold by JPresident Rooseyelt that the reclamation projects, in his opinion, constituted ideal projects pro-jects of the self-liquidating type. Senator King of Utah and Senator Sena-tor Pope of Idaho made strong efforts ef-forts Monday to get the reclamation reclama-tion project before the board at its Tuesday session. One encouraging indication was seen when Secretary Secre-tary Ickes- called on Commissioner Mead for a detailed report on each of the suggested subjects. The report re-port was studied Monday afternoon after-noon by some of the members of the board, including Secretary Ickes. Ickes Located It was learned that the enemies to , the reclamation program on the board were Secretary of Agriculture Agricul-ture Wallace. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Tugwell, and the representative of Secretary of War Dern who is serving on the board in ' his absence. The latter, it is hopd, will be "put right" as soon as Secretary Dern arrives in Washington from his trip. Mayor fcllertson learned in regard re-gard to the postoffice project that Provo is on the preferred building list and that a $125,000 building will be approved , whenever the president consents to an expansion of the publla building program, providing the city will donate a site, To Rush Plans Senator Ring has also , requested that plans for the building be drawn by a Utah architect ir order to avoid the troubles encountered in the Salt Lake City new post-office post-office building.. Buildings ready to be constructed first, will get the priority once the program is authorized by the president, a fact which maizes haste imperative. W. Whitectton Js Dead In Vancouver Mrs. Agnesl.

With Ickes RESIGNATION OF CIIACHADO President Is Sole Dictator With Island Under Martial Law (Copyright, 1933, by United Press) HAVANA, Aug. 8 (U.R) A terrorized capital today awaited the decision of President Presi-dent Gerarda Machado, who was confronted with the choice ofgiving up his office or plunging his country into bloody revolution. Twenty persons were dead as the result of a ' slaughter in front of the presidential palace. Twenty more were dying. One hundred and thirty suffered from gunshot wounds. Sporadic shooting by police occurred oc-curred throughout the suburbs during dur-ing the night and this morning. There was no authentic check of total casualties. Ambassador Interested Sumner Welles, American ambassador, ambas-sador, viewing the situation as one of deepest gravity, has proposed a-solution a-solution that involves Machado's retirement, possibly under the guise of a leave of absence. Machado Macha-do was expected to speak today, probably before congress. At the moment he was sole dictator dic-tator by virtue of the action of congress last night in suspending civil liberties for thirty days. The army control led the city but there were reports there was dissatisfaction with Machado within with-in its ranks. Trucks waited at the principal street corners to take soldiers to any spot where disorder broke out. Machine guns were mounted around the presidential palace and at all government buildings. Ordinary life was paralyzed. Shops were closed. There were no mails. Not even private motor cars were being operated. Most citizens remained indoors, fearing more slaughter by police or the dreaded Porristas. the secret se-cret service men. Machado, tall, heavy-set, spectacled, spec-tacled, was in fighting mood. His own political leaders were understood under-stood to have advised him to accept ac-cept Ambassador Wells' pronouncement pronounce-ment that, the only alternative to war was his relinquishing of the office in which he has made himself him-self a dictator. But his first answer was not encouraging. en-couraging. Though it was indirect, it gave little hope that he was ready to give up his high office without a fight.
