CUBA CHANGES
NATIONAL Law
Congress Asks President
To Suspend Measures
Twenty Days

HAVANA, Oct. 4. -P- The
Cuban congress, convoked in spe-
cial session, early today authorized
The president, General Gerardo
Machado y Morales, to suspend
constitutional guarantees for a
term Of twenty days in the interest
Of public order.
While intended for Havana and
vicinity, the suspension may be
extended at the presidents wish,
TO the entire island nation. Al
though the authorizing law as pass
ed by congress is effective today,
actual suspension is not effective
until decreed by the president. The
Cuban congressional elections will
take place Nov. /.
Troops guarded congress through
out the long session In which a
presidential message asking the
power Of suspension was read and
acted upon. The senate voted first,
passing the authorizing measure
10 to 5, just the necessary three
fourths majority.
The measure then went to the
house of representatives, where I'M
expected opposition developed. 1t
was 2:30 a. m. before a vote was
taken, the house ''ratifying" the
presidents message by IS to 10.
Forty five minutes later the author
king measure was passed by the
same vote.
Following are the constitutional
guarantees subject to suspension at
the discretion of the president:
No one shall be arrested except
in cases and under forms pre-
scribed by the law.
Those arrested shall secure their
liberty or be entitled 10 a hearing
within "a hours.
II there is no proof Of guilt Of
the arrested parties they shall be
given their liberty within u hours.
No one shall be indicted or SEN
fenced except by competent tribun-
al.
Secrets Of correspondence are in
violable.
A mans home Is inviolable after
six o'clock in the evening.
No law shall cblige or prohibit
change Of residence.
The right OF free assembly shall
not be denied.
The presidential message 70 con
gress reads as follows:
"SeditiouS propaganda known to
the public and frankly and openly
disseminated In the republics
capital under cover perhaps Of re-
cent measures inspired by my
devotion to civil liberty, compel me

cordance with my duty 10 preserve

 motor car buying public have long recognized the danger of glass that will shatter and splinter. It is admitted that in due time all motor cars must offer the com
