D. A. V. Officer
Issues Warning

Advice has just been received
from state headquarters by L. e.
King, adjustant of Imperial Chapt-
err No. 81 of the D. A. v. to the
effect that all questionaires which
were enclosed with pension checks
or letters of rating the first OF
August must be filled out in full
and sworn to before notary
public and returned to the office
of the Veterans Administration
from which they came, not later
than 80 days from date OF issuance.
This is important due to the
fact that the regulations provide
that the Veterans Administration
office has authority to make a
stop payment order on all pension
checks on which they have not
received the questionaires properly
executed. Compliance with this will
avoid lot of confusion and non
compliance will mean that pension
checks will not be forthcoming on
the first succeeding months, King
said

CUBA AROUSED
BY GRIM FIND.
Bodies Of Machado's Alleged
Victims Found Buried Be-
meath Fortress.

HAVANA, Aug 10. U.P)-Hayana
was aroused to vengeful anger to-
day by the discovery of bodies OF
four Cuban patriots in a secret
graveyard of the Machado police
under the stables of historic Atares
fortress.
The skulls of some of the VIC
tins were cracked, which was said
to indicate they died under torture.
Soldiers, students and members
of the ABC secret revolutionary So
ciety dug about the castle today
for more bodies, confident OF find
ing additional evidence of the me-
thods of the Machadista police and
secret service.
One of the bodies was that of a
student, Felix Ernesto Alpizar. 1t
was taken at once to the National
university and placed in state.
AS news of the find spread,
crowds, vowing vengeance on Ger
ardo Machado, former president,
moved to the university and filed
past the body.
A commission of students asked
Watson Clark, British minister, to
view the bodies and report to his
government, in order to strengthen
possible future demand for extra
dition of Machado and Captain
Manuel Crispo, commander of the
fortress and commander of the Ma
chadiSta presidential guard.
Machado and Crispo fled together
by airplane to the British port OF
Nassau, in the Bahamas.
Discovery of the bodies conceded
with a late cabinet meeting at
which upon motion of Carlos Sala-
irigas it was agreed that special
judges would be appointed to in
vestigate derelictions of officials OF
the Machado regime.
In the popular excitement that
followed unearthing OF the patriots
bodies, no attention was paid to the
arrest of Machado's minister OF in
terror, Octavio Zubizaretta, and his
son. They asked the army for per-
mission to leave the country. They
were incarcerated.
