NOTED WRITER'S
PROTEST U. S.
POLICY IN CUBA
MenCkeny Sinclair Thomas
Sign RemonStrance to
State Department.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 21.-A
protest against state department
policy toward Cuba was filed with
Secretary Henry L. Stimson today
by group Of prominent economists,
clergymen and writers composing
the international committee for
political prisoners.
Charging that President Mach
ado remains in power "only through
the sugar and banking interests
backed by the state department"
the committee asked that this coun-
try adopt a "hands-off" policy to-
ward the island republic.
The letter was signed, among
others, by H. L. Mencken, Norman
Thomas, Upton Sinclair, the Rev.
John Haynes Holmes and Professor
John Dewey of Columbia.
Havan students Prompt Letter
Signers explained the letter was
prompted by message from "the
second executive committee" Of the
students of Havana university dur
ing recent months, students there
having held demonstrations against
Machado. The protest said all men,
members Of the first executive COM
mittee" Of the school were impris-
oned.
The message from Havana read:
University and all schools closed.
Executive committee in prison.
Three students mysteriously have
disappeared. Prominent women in
Jail. Expect your protest in behalf
Of humanity"
After citing this message those
who protested told Stin1son:
MachadO Is Dictator
Under the Plat amendment the
United States is pledged to inter-
vention in Cuba for the protection
of life, property and individual lib
erty.' We are advised from numer-
Gus sources that fear of American
intervention is the reason why the
opposition to the Machado dictator
ship, which almost is universal, does
not adopt the only available means
of opposing that dictatorship;
namely, a revolutionary movement.
1--WE are opposed to Intervention
in Cuba. We regard the present
policy Of the United States as
equivalent to intervention on the
side OF the Machado and the power
full interests which support him.
"ThiS policy in relation to Cuba is
opposed throughout Latin-America.
1t puts the United States in the
position of threatening use of SUI
perior force in the interest of Amer
lean investors in Cuba and against
the aspirations of the Cuban people
for the control of their own gov
eminent"

GreencastIe- Evansville

Greencastle rushed into a huge
early lead over Evansville. Dawson
started the parade of field goals
with one from the center of the
court and D. Stone followed with
one from the side.
McAnnly tipped one in from I'M
der the hoop and Hurst fired an
other goal through on a foul-line
pivot play. Hurst sneaked into a
corner and pushed another through
the meShes to make it 100.
D. Stone looped in a free throw
and Hurst got field goal from side
center to make it 1870 as the quar-
ter closed.
Central Scores Twice
A minute after the second period
opened, Behagg d1ibbled through
the Greencastle defense to score a
goal for Central's first points. Riggs
Topped in Central's second field goal
from side center and the Tigers
called for time.
D. Stone tickled the meshes with
"a field goal to bring the score to

the floor and fired a field goal
through the nets to make the count
1876. Behagg connected with one

Bell Faces
Borotra Favorite to Cop
Indoor Singles Net
Crown.
BY HENRY M'LEMORE
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, March 21.-Berkeley
Bell, a rangy, stoop-shouldered, o.
year-old Texan, today provided the
final and most serious obstacle to
Jean Borotra's ambition of max
ing the 1881 national indoors ten
mis- championships an all-French
triumph.
Borotra, paired with his country
man, Christian Boussus, already
has won the doubles title-his third
doubles triumph since 1925. If he
succeeds in defeating Bell, and he
is a two-to-one favorite to accom-
plish the feat, he will take posses
sion of the singles title for the
fourth time. He won previously in
1925, 1927 and 1929, retiring the
championship trophy, and now
seeks a leg on the new trophy
placed in competition last season
and won by Francis T. Hunter.
Bells participation in the finals
is a distinct surprise. The Texan
ranked eleventh in national stand
ingS, is noted as an upsetter of the
mighty, but he had been conceded
little chance against Frank Shields
of New York, Americas No. 2 rank
ing player. However, Bell played
inspired tennis and eliminated
Shields, eli, GA, 1910, Ga, in the
most bitterly fought indoors match
in years.
Borotra reached the finals Thurs
day by defeating Perrine Rockafel-
low of New York, and his COMPETE
ton Friday was limited to the
doubles finals. Borotra and Boussus
had little difficulty in defeating
Cliff Suffer of New Orleans and
Pierre Landry of France, Us, GA,
ST., GA.

Hail, the Count!
Twas a Great Day for
Gabe When Nobility
Proved Genuine.

BIZ United Press
u ANSAS CITY, Mo, March 81.
A Now and then to give class
to the wrestling matches he pro-
notes, Gabe kaufman has en-
gagged contestants with dubious
royal titles.
1t was in line with this technique
of attracting publicity to his card
that kaufman difidendly pre-
sented Count Ermak Harkovsky
to the sports desk of a Kansas
City newspaper.
1.-THE count is going to wrestle
Monday night" he announced,
somewhat alphabetically, "and
figured you might want story
about him. Swell guy, regular
fellow"
The promoter lapsed into
Squirming silence as the count
told his story-how he left his
Russian uhlans, which he COM
manded as a lieutenant-c colonel,
when all was lost, how he escaped
to China and then to Paris, where
he learned to wrestle.
To the sports writer it was the
same old story-with variations.
He had an idea.
Lets all go over to see DR.. M.
w. Pickard," he said. "He knows
all about Russia"
Kaufman groaned when the
count accepted the invitation.
"NOUNT HARKOVSKY, eh?"
~ was DR.. Pickard's greeting.
A wrestler, Ell? Well, WE'LL"
And he launched into a rapid dis
course in Russian.
The count replied. Color re-
turned to Kaufman'S face.

Pickard said in English. "He
lived across the Black sea from
my province. Your family was

reign of Catherine the Great"
eyes, yes" the count replied.
DR.. Pickard drew tiny rusted
iron medal from his desk-"the
priceless medal of Catherine the
Great, given for truth, honor and
bravery, as you know" he said,
turning to the count. There were
tears in the doctors eyes.
Take it--you have won it,"
DR.. Pickard said.
Great day, count" Kaufman
said as they left the hospital.
You get a medal. I get publicity.
Our friend here gets a story.
Great stuff"

OF blisters in forced marches

Headed by DR.. Maurice Ha-

from 1907 to 1911, they are airing

He announced the situation is
grave, and said he is even aroused

1.-THE early pictures about the
Legion were terrible" said Ha-
monneau. 1.-THE uniforms weren't
right; the wrong music was
played; the soldiers were all ex-
criminals or young men who had
been disappointed in love.
Lately, these technical details
have been improved because Cap
tain Van Der Ecker, a former
member of the Legion, now is in
Hollywood to advise the motion
picture on how to produce Legion
pictures.
Hamonneau said the Legion is
no haven for criminals, because a
man can be eXtradited, and off,
GERS constantly carry pictures of
criminals to help authorities get
them out of the Legion.
