CUBAN PRESS JOINS
TO BEAT CENSORS.
Representative of Paper
Here Asks Aid in Restoring
Freedom of Press.

In an, effort to have lifted the CEN
sorship imposed recently by the Cuban
government when it suspended consti-
tutional rights, the three principal
Spanish language newspapers on the
island, which suspended publication
rather than submit to the censorship,
have begun issuing joint edition every
morning, to keep the islanders in
formed of world events.
This information is given by E. N.
Robaina, United States representative
of Ell Pals. one of the Cuban news
papers.
According to Mr.. Robaina, the sus-
pension of the papers has resulted in
many inquiries from American adver-
tisers. The three papers involved are
FL Pals, FL Munda and Diario de Ia
Martina, and as these are members Of
the Associated Press, Mr.. Robaina calls
for cooperation of all members Of the
Associated Press outside Cuba to up
hold the freedom Of the press"
Local News Barred.
Mr.. Robaina states the Cuban gov
eminent forbids the publication of local
news in Cuba. resenting any reference
to the political or economic problems
Of the republic.
On Sunday, the day the three prin-
cipal papers decided to issue a joint
edition, Mr.. Robaina issued the fol-
lowing statement:
After nine days of suspension the
Cuban press finds itself in a particu-
lar position in regard to American adj
vertiSers, who have been watching the
situation with keen interest and are
now becoming FESTIVE as they are I'M
able to realize why this suspension IS
maintained after the Cuban consul
general in New York officially an
nounced on November 20 that he had
been informed by his government that
perfect order reigns throughout Cuba
and all industrial and social activities
are normal
las we have been approached from
different quarters with reference to
what appears to be an obdurate atti-
tude Of the Cuban press in the face Of
such favorable governmental statements,
we wish to say that, Notwithstanding
emphatic reports advising that Cuba
has recovered its normal status, CEN
sorship is being strictly enforced against
the press, cable, telephone, telegraph,
radio, etc., and that for measures Of
precaution' amour ced by the Cuban
government, President Machado re-
quested Of Congress yesterday 'authori-

stitutional rights throughout the re-

consulting bodies to aid the head OF
the new Traf1lc Department. One Is o

the engineer of the new department,
together with IL representative citizens,

Enforcement Difficult.
Speaking of the function of the Po-
lice Department in the traffic situation,
the report says: THE problem of
traffic direction and traffic law enforce
ment has become one of increasing diff
ficulty and completely, with great in
creases In traf1c volume and with the
necessity to apply many new types OF
regulations. The department Is at
present effectively organized for THU
service through the Trafic Bureau. II
is believed that the efficiency Of the
bureau will be increased and protected
by concentrating its attention exclu-
sively on the problem Of enforcement
and by allocating regulatory research
and administrative activities to agen-
cies especially equipped for these serv-
ices"

Urges New Legislation Work.
In placing the document before the
Commissioners, Capt. Herbert C. White
hurst, District highway engineer, who
acted as chairman of the Traffic Ad-
visory Counsel Committee, recon-
mended that the Commissioners devote
their attention at first solely to the
matter of the five new acts OF Congress
sought and reserve consideration OF the
various new regulations proposed to De
adopted under these acts until later.
Cant. Whitehurst also recommended
that the Commissioners postpone until
later consideration Of the various re-
ports relating to revenue which cause
so much controversy in the committee
meetings and afterwards. Principal
among these was q recommendation TO
double the gasoline tax and the regis
tration fee for passenger AUTOMOBILES
and to greatly increase the registra-
ton fees for all other motor vehicles,
particularly heavy, solid-tired trucks.
These matters; Capt. Whitehurst report.
ed, were more closely connected with
taxation than traflc and the Commits
sioners should subject them to study by
experts on tax matters before consider
ing their adoption.
As for the new regulations, including
such matters as the change in the LETT
turn rule, and the conflicting recon-
mendations on the speed rule, he recon-
mended that they could well wait until
the passage of the basic acts one Of
which will give the Commissioners the
power to promulgate regulations Of their
own making.
In the regulations recommended by
DR., McClintock there is no provision
for q mandatory jail sentence for any
offense. Driving while intoxicated,
however, carries a mandatory revocation
Of the operators permit; 1t also carries
irnprisonment for 80 days to o year, or
q fine Of 500 to $500, or both. For
second -offense drunk driving, there Is
O mandatory jail sentence OF not more
than q year, and fine Of not more
than $500. The penalty for reckless
driving is fixed at 5 to 90 days impriS-
onment, or $25 to $500 fine, or both, and
second or subsequent offenses are pun
ishable by 10 days to months in jail,
or $50 to $500 fne. or both.
DR.. McClintock agrees with the COM

Traffic Specialists
Proposed Law Would
Punish Slow Driver

Not only does DR.. Miller Nc
Clintock, the Harvard traffic ex-
pert, object to setting any speed
limit, but he also Is opposed to
allowing automobiles to travel too
slowly. One of his proposed reg
ulations on slow driving is as fol-
lows:
1T shall be unlawful for any
person unnecessarily to drive at
such q slow speed as to impede or
block the normal and reasonable
movements of traffic except when
reduced speed is necessary for
safe operation, or because upon q
grade, or when the vehicle Is o
truck, or truck and trailer neces-
sarily or in compliance with law
proceeding at q reduced speed.
"Trafic and police ofncers are
hereby authorized to enforce this
provision by directions to drivers
and in the event of apparent
wilful disobedience to this pro-
vision and refusal to comply with
the direction Of an officer in &C.
cordance Herewith, q continued
slow operation by driver shall
be unlawful and constitute
misdemeanor."

uniting Of countries containing 30o,-
000, 900 people for q concerted effort to
block French dominance of Europe has
been considered chimerical. The vast
gap between the Fascists and Com
munists on questions Of internal policy
cannot ever be permanently bridged,
although for the sake Of q united stand
against the archenemy, France, 1t
might be forgotten momentarily.
The German Italian get-together has
only recently become more than a
dream because Of the Tyrol question and
the German resentment against Italy's
leaving the triple alliance. Whether
responsible German authorities will be
Influenced by Hitlerite ideas to the
extent Of definitely joining forces with
Italy is stu o very dubious question.
Inasmuch as Italy without Russian
and German support has no chance to
oppose France successfully, certain sup
port Of the minor countries does not
mean much.
Opposition to France momentarily
cannot be taken now to mean armed
opposition, thanks to the difficult imam.
cial situation in these countries. On
the other hand, 1t Is considered here
that these countries could 60 far in
blocking French dominance Of the
League Of Nations and in forcing France
at least to consider revision Of the
Versailles boundaries and settlement Of
the 1talo-French naval parity and
African questions. Ultimately, If France
and the little entente refuse to unbend,
these countries together would have
enough men to risk open trouble.
The mere fact that Signor Grandi and
Mr.. Litvinod have met Is greatly sig
niflcant because heretofore Russia has
been considered doubtful factor in the
European framework Of nations. Italy
has openly hoped for, as the French
have feared, q German alliance Of one
sort or other. With Germany on her
side In the event Of hostilities, the Ital-
ian bloc In man power would equal the
French group. With Russia as an ally,
the man power would be double that
Of the French bloc.
The commercial agreement Of last
Spring, which provided for Russian pur-
chase of $10.000,000 worth of Italian
goods this year, was the opening Of
Italian-Russian relations, which, 1t was
hoped. might develop. It now remains
TO be seen whether Russia, as generally
has been the case In her agreements
with other countries, will not demand
so much for cooperation in the inter-
national fleld that IL will not be worth
while.

Senator Robinson was asked what
relief measures he had in mind for
passage at the coming session. He
replied that he would not be ready TO
list such measures until after he has
conferred with other members OF his
party.
Senator Robinson did say, however,
that he had always been In favor OF
the so-called debenture plan OF farm
aid and that he would be glad to see
the debenture written into law.

inson. He said that the Federal Farm
act has not been proven failure yet
although it has not been able to check
farm distress.
Had Sought Compromise.
With regard to Muscle Shoals legis-
lation, now demanded by the Repub-
lican Progressives, Senator Robinson
said he had sought compromise at the
last session. He said he did not know
whether the Muscle Shoals legislation
could be disposed Of at the regular ses-
sion. He added that 1t has been hang
ing FIRE for long time and should be
acted upon finally.
In reply to questions about his cor
r 5pondence with President Hoover, aft
er the President had telegraphed him
seeking cooperation TO put through
appropriation bills and emergency meas
ures at the short session, Senator Rob-
inson said:
"While I shall respect the initiative
usually recognized as belonging to the
White House to public messages trans
mitted or received by the President,
there is nothing in the subject matter
which, In my opinion, calls for conf

Senator Robinson made it clear that
his statement issued today Is In har-
mony with his letter to the President
He said: This statement Is substan-
TALLY corroborative Of my response TO
the Presidents message to me-"
Makes No Predictions.
/ The Democratic leader, commenting
on the recent elections, said: If we
had had a presidential election this
year, in my opinion, the Democrats
would have swept the country He
would make no predictions about what
the Democrats would do in 1882.
Senator Robinson has frequently
been mentioned as a possible nominee
for President of the Democrats two
years hence. He was the vice presiden-
tial nominee in 1928. Many of the dry
Democrats are looking to Senator Rob-
inson as a rallying post to prevent the
nomination of a presidential candidate
committed to repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment.
When Senator Robinson was asked
whether he believed the Democrats
would nominate a presidential candi-
date favoring repeal of the eighteenth
amendment or modification, he declined
to make any comment. During his
campaign for reelection to the Sem
ate last Summer Senator Robinson
came out strongly in favor Of the re-
tention Of the eighteenth amendment.

Judging from the number of turkeys
already sent to the President and Mrs.
Hoover from admirers in various parts
of the country, the White House will
have a plentiful supply for Thanks
giving.
Six turkeys have arrived and it is
likely that more will arrive before

It has not yet been determined which
one of these turkeys will receive the
honor of gracing the presidential table
