All this caused a state of almost panic among the Americans in Cuba. They appealed to the Embassy. The news was radioed to President Roosevelt aboard the Nourr^hal and he immediately ordered four warships rushed to Havana, Meanwhile the American Legion in Havant j^got together with the American chamber of Co merce, declared the Hotel Nacional to be American territory and hoisted the Stars and Stripes above the Hotel. Women and children were sent there, pending the arrival of Uncle San^s men-o1-war. Their fears were allayed when the U.S, Destroyer MacFarland^steamed into Havana harbor and dropped anchor about five ofclock this afternoon. From what my Havana , m '11s me, it seems that A * a radical element among the students was disgruntled because they claimed that Doctor de Cespedes was too conservative. With LFAD - 4 them was a frroup of A soldiers egged on by Sommunists. The aftermath of the devastating hurricane provided their opportunity and they jumped t It* So today the relng of government are in the hands of a military Kim junta of five^headed however by Doctor Raymond Grau, President of San far tin University. Back of them all, it see, is Sergeant Batiste. Doctor Grau announced that he will establish a constitutional overnment with a properly elected assembly. Also that Cuba will honor all her obligations. He seZam declared that army officers who helped ex-president faehado and some of his supporters to escape, will be kicked out of the army. It's fortunate that President Roosevelt obviously is a man .vho can take things as they come and does not let himself be flustered by anything. Having the Cuban mess on his hands in addition to px the all important thing of promoting national enough to unsettle anyordinary man. EJ.B.C. FOLLOW CUBA While all this was going on the total of the damage wreaked on Cuba’s sugar mills and cane fields by the hurricane, was mounting all the time as reports from the interior came into Havana. Huge quantities of sugar stored in the warehouses were destroyed, one corporation alone losing about half a million k££x bags, while another refinery lost almost as much, not counting injury to its machinery. In 'ii£s»<parts of the Island sugar warehouses were entirely A* destroyed. N.E.C STQP l M That hurricane which tore such a devasting path through part of Florida and the Gulf States yesterday, is still bearing along in ^ r>n^ ^ hut they say its violence is weakening.

GENEVA The Jewish V.'orld Conference is going on in Geneva, and the principal actors today were delegat- s from America, They demanded an open and official boycott against Germans, German goods, everything connected with Germany so Ion; as Hitler remains on the throne. Jewish feeling was particularly incensed because of Hitler's recent speech at Nureraburg. N.R.C COSMIC RAY Russian scientists are trying to o America’s learned men one bettea . ‘^hey want to photograph the cosmic ray and they have the cooperation of the Soviet government. The government has built two balloons and will send crack aeronauts up in th m probably sometime next week. They hope to reach an altitude of twenty miles and from that point photograph the rays. N.B.C. ”......... TSNMIS Here’s something for the tennis fans. Cochet, the greatest of French players* is going to play with a well-known French professional in a series of exhibition games against American professional players. The series is to begin on September 2£nd. But one thing that may jair the fans still more is th- report widely current in Paris* that Ellsworth Vines, the California star* has joined the ranks of professionals. .-v -• The story is that he has signed a contract to play with Big Bill Tilden starting next yeary N.B.C. Vermont today became the twenty-fifth state to go to the polls on prohibition repeal. No returns are in yet, but Democratic leaders say the majority of the fourteen delegates elected by "Vermonters will be wet. At the same time the dry weather is favoring the dry cause because that means that the voters in the rural districts will poll a heavy vote n and^^iwBpAare all prohibitionists. However, the wets expect the larger towns in the western part of the state, such as Rutland, Burlington, St. Alban*s, and Bennington, will outbalance that. N.B.C BALLOONS It looks as though Uncle Sam’s Navy stood a fair chance of winning the Gordon Bennett balloon race. The gas bag carrying lieutenant Commander Settle of the Navy, landed Pine last night at/^aini Orchard, Connecticut, near New Haven. Thac makes his distance around eight hundred miles and puts him in the lead so far. There are still two balloons up in the air. One of them was sighted near Ottawa, Ontario, but spectators were unable to identify it. The two aeronauts who have not yet been heard from are Ward Van Orman, and the Polish competitor. N.B.C BANKS The bankers of America were given a piece of Uncle Sam’s mini today. The American Bankers Association is holding a convention in Ohicaeo^and the principal speaker was Jesse Jones, ofTexas, Chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation The principal thing that Chairman Jones told the bankers was an intimation that individuals who are holding on to gold are not the only kx hoarders. Mr. Jones said that bankers must stop their hoarding of credit. They must start /l a *'*%&#* loosening up credit in the United States and allow^aten^xn. A. ^ who need the money to carry on their business. Said ^r. Jones: ’’The Blue Eagle of N.R.A. should be on the oors of the vaults as well as in the bank windows.” 'Cev& There been some talk that bankers were hoping that the next session of Congress might repeal one lav;- passed at the last session, the lav/ requiring insurance of bank deposits Chairman Jones declared that any banker who entertained such a hope had a wrong idea. BANKS - £ Mr. Jones said further* nIt is the business of bank deposits to finance business. Banks that are ravyvl-t-grM-fr over-liquid should reverse their policies and take constructive part in the nation*s recovery program." Bankers who hoard credit, he said, are mmX no better than individuals who hoard gold. And he declared in conclusion: "ThereVs no reason now why banks should not adopt a fair and helpful policy of lending SPEED BOAT One group of visitors to the Y.'orld's Fair got more entertainment than they paid for. They were riding in a speed boat commuting between the Navy pi or and the Midway# on one trip^the boat caught fire thanks to a leaky gas line. This happened more than a hundred yards away from the pier. Well, the eight passengers and the pilot leaped overboard into Lake Michigan and swam ashore* not waiting for life preservers or anything. Some of Uncle Sam’s coastguard lads picked them up. This is the third speedboat accident in those waters in the last ten days. SAN CUENTIN Here* s an invitation for you. Xou are urged to attend the Exposition of Progress in San Quentin Prison, CalifoKia. The prison bulletin which is edited by the inmates says it is better than the World’s Fair in Chicago, and moreover it is one that never ends. The Government,says the Bulletin, will pay all expenses. Each visitor will be given individual license plates, and one person’s accommodations will !>e as good as the next. The invitation goes on to say: "Why suffer the exigencies of life in a cruel and xxkz scheming world? The tranquil and orderly life here (meaning in San Quentin) will restore zest and verve to the most ceases timid soul. The process is so subtle that time^mEE^to exist and one day is Just like another at San Quentin*n NBC We don't often look for humor in a scientific article, bat Dr. L. tree, in ^The Week's Science'1 relates a recent occurrence from a scientific angle which seems decidedly amusing. In one of the J-,ondon parks a woman gave her pet dog a drink from a public drinking cup. Somebody saw her doing it^ called a policeman and had her arrested on a charge of polluting public drinking water. When the ease came up in court the woman's lawyer called in medical evidence. All the experts testified that although the dog might have acquired several fatal diseases, the ehaneex of any harm coming to human beings through drinking after a healthy dog was quite negligible. &»*The doctors declared on the stand that only three or four known diseases could be acquired by a human being in such a way, and all of them are exceedingly rare in England. Consequently the court declared that there had been DOG £ no pollution of the public drinking water and discharged the lady. The court said at the same time that if the dog had chosen to complain on the ground of having been unnecessarily exposed to human diseases, the decision might have been different. The Yieekfs Science DI’AF - ENDING Sam. Blythe hr:d a story In the Saturday Evening Post recently totat Is worth repeating even if you. happen, to have read it. The story is credited to Thomas ¥, Lament, iaa& partner of the House of Morgan. Mr. Lament went to a ■'N. reunion of his class at Harvard. Sitting next to him was a man he*d not met since they graduated. Mr. Lament asked his friends tfHG'Wfs. the world been treating you?” And the friend replied: ,fPretty fair, but Xfm so darn deaf I can’t hear any thing.” So Mr. Lamont asked: "Did you ever do anything for it?" "Oh yes," replied the friend, "I went to a doctor and he told me if I’d quit drinking I’d hear better." So -ir. Lamont asked again: "Did you try the doctor 1 s prescription?" "Yes," replied the friend, "but I found that what X drank was so much better than what I heard that I took, up drinking again." And SO LONG UNTIL TOMORROW. Sat. Eve. Post
