CENEROSO POPE DEFENDING GOOD
 NAME OF ITALY
Has Amassed Million Since Coming Here - Wants Designation of Criminals Kept Out of Papers

New York, May 15.-(UP)- Generoso Pope, who immigrated from Italy and made millions in the United States, was host at dinner last night, the purpose of which was to sustain the good name of citi- zens of Italian extraction in the United States.
 Some time ago Pope, who is the owner of two Italian daily news papers published in New York, call ed upon American newspapers gen. erally to refrain from describing as Italians those American citizens of Italian origin who were named in news items about crime.
 Last nights dinner, given in the grand ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel, was in furtherance of that idea. Mayor James J. Walker, Dud- ley Field Malone, Ferdinand Pecora and Judge John J. Freschi, were the principal speakers.
 Malone's two references to Musso- linl were wildly cheered, but no more so than was Mayor Walker. when George Jessel, musical comedy. star, mentioned him in making his intro- duction.

CUBAN WOMEN IN PROTEST OF ANY
 INTERVENTION
Headed By Woman Lawyer, They Say That All They Want Is U. s. Sympathy and Support

Havana, Cuba, May 15 = (UP) = A purported plea for American intervention in Cuba. said to have been made by the Cuban Patriotic League, has drawn the protest of 8 group of Cuban women headed by Dr Ofelia Rodriguez, young attor- ney. The women drew up sharply worded protest yesterday against the action of the league. The protest followed reports from the United States that the league had asked for American intervention in Cuba.
 The protest read. in part: While we acknowledge that the United States, under the Platt amendment, has some rights to interest herself in Cuban affairs, we. the undersigned. are of the opinion that Cuba should work out her own problems. Real- izing the difference of ideals be- tween the American people and the government toward Latin-American politics, we should much rather have their sympathy and support rather than actual intervention The protest closed with a request that the United States remain inn partial, lending neither money nor advice, and refrain expressing ap- proval of either side in Cuba's po- litical factions.

Governor case of Rhode Island has also stated his approval.
 In his letter requesting business OTSdIllZdLlOUS IO SIuuy 'tiiO lOASh- coming report, President Knight pointed out that New England council is sponsoring no particular program with respect to New Eng lands railroads. "It does believe, "he said, "that a canvass of New Eng land business opinion concerning the report of the governors com mittee will go far to determine whether or not New England can agree upon a. railroad policy and unite to make it effective" [ When the New England council in the fall of 1929 found that large blocks of stock in the New Haven and Boston and Maine railroads were being acquired by interests outside New England, 1t called the facts to the attention of the six New England governors, and cooperaed in preliminary investigation which resulted in the appointment of the New England governors railroad committee to make a thorough study of New England's transportation problems. After year and a half of investigation, the committee is about to report. In appointing the committee the governors declared their belief that "the people of New England will see the importance of viewing these matters from the standpoint of the best interess of New England as a whole, and de- veloping a basis for united opinion and action"
