Counselor Altunaga
of the Cuban Embassy
Is of Ancient Family
With His Charming Bride
Wife Has Become Estab-
lished in Diplomatic Circle
In Washington.

DR.. Rafael Rodriguez Altunaga,
who recently came to Washington as
counselor of the Cuban embassy, is,
like all the staff Of DIR. Crestes
Ferrara, a young man in point of
years and has been less than two
years in the class of benedicts. A
year ago there We're no less than five
bridegrooms in the Cuban embassy
and the most recent additions to the
list. the counselor, DR.. Altunaga, and
the first secretary, Senior Nemesio
de Ledo, would have been eligible
had they been in Washington at that
time. No embassy in Washington
counts so many attractive young ma
irons as does that of Cuba and with
the exception of the Ambassador, DR.
Crestes Ferrara, all the men are
under 40 and have the most youthful
looking and accomplished wives.
The new counselor of embassy
belongs to one Of the ancient and
distinguished families of the island
and Is one of the promising members
Of the foreign service. He studied
at the University of Havana and
after taking the degree of doctor of
law. subsequent to his classical
studies he entered the foreign serv-
ice in 1911. The Cuban government
makes it an Indispensable condition
that applicants for the foreign serv-
ice must be graduates of the national
university and after taking the B. A.
degree must give two years to law.
DR.. Altunaga has specialized in mer-
camille law and his book on this SUBJ
ject is one of the authorities for
Cuba and Latin America in general.
His first assignment was to Bogota,
where he was sent as second secre-
tary in 1917 and there he remained
for seven years and then he received
his promotion as first secretary. His
missions since, the first and longest
to Colombia, included two years in
Montevideo, after which he was
transferred to London.
1t was just previous to the Lon
don residence that DR.. Altunaga was
married in Havana to Senorita Elena

Realizing that if all of the things

hearings on the salary bin involved
plainly indicated that the teachers
were not entitled to the additional
salary they sought and there was no
genuine legal point at issue.
The teachers contended the school
officials had not properly construed
the salary act of 1924 and they were
entitled to 800 additional annual
