Is Cuba to become the Monte Car

to create a tremendous southwark
exodus of thirsty and chance-loving

In an effort to answer these Ques-

though wishing to say mo" to both,
cites the state department as au-
thority for the statement that al
ready $4,000 Americans have asked
for passports to spend the winter

their own habits.
DR.. Inman has appealed to the In

church organizations in a campaign
to prevent those who want TO drink
and gamble finding a southern way
out.

to make Cuba, particularly Havana,
