The estimated return Of factory
workers to employment in July

total increase in weekly payrolls
between March and July,
measured from changes in the

roll index, is 1872 per cent
which, in actual dollar value, is
equivalent to $29,000,000.

payrolls between June and July
represents an estimated increase
of $7,500,000 paid in weekly wages
to factory workers in July over
the weekly earnings Of June, she
said.
The extent of the improved
condition in the Nations manu-
featuring industries Is shown by
the fact that the level Of employ
ment in July last was 21.9 per
cent above the level Of July
year ago, while the pay roll index
stood 28.5 per cent above.
The bureaus tabulation Of 16
communicating industries over
the March-July period indicated
approximately 100000 more work
ers in July than in March. This

cultural employment.

dustry reported the most pro
nounced gains in both employment
and payroll over the month inter-
val, the increase of 37.8 per cent in
employment and 25.8 per cent in

Scheduled Today

HAVANA, Aug. 1.-THE red
flag Of Communism cast its
shadow over Cuba today as the
administration of President Car
los Manuel De Cespedes came to
grips with striking harb o
workers.
Announcing they would con-
tinue their strike until granted
satisfaction, the stevedoreS pre-
sented a number of demands con-
sidered excessive by government
officials. The strike has pre-
vented unloading Of ships and has
tied up distribution Of imported
goods.
Conference on Today
At q joint melting today, repre-
eentatives of the stevedores, ship
ping companies, and the govern
ment will confer to seek a solu.
ton of the tangle.
Concerned over this obstacle to
Q speedy return to normal busi-
ness following overthrow Of for
mer President Gerardo Machado,
several prominent government au.
thorities expressed fear that Com
munistS were behind the labor
troubles menacing the republics
efforts at reconstruction.
Members Of various labor syn
dicates which have Joined the ma
tional labor confederation were
said to have communistic tenden-
cieS.
There was a rumor that the
labor strike move was backed by
Communist capital, but this could
not be confirmed.
General Strike Urged
Reliable information revealed,
however, that pink handbillS with
red letters had been distributed
urging a new general strike and
an overthrow Of all government
In Cuba with a view to estab-
Gshment of a communist regime.
The trouble with the harbor
workers began after they joined
the genral strike to oust Machado,
but refused to return to work
after he fled, although the gen.
eral strike ended.
In a Cancellation smeeting they
reiterated their demands against
representatives Of steamship com.
panies, who labelled these re-
quests excessive and impossible OF
Rulfillment.
Among the demands Of the
strikers is one that shipping COM
panies and the Government as
sumo payment of pensions, al
though this is impossible under
the law without congression ap-
proval.
Police Lieutenant Seized
Meanwhile, the campaign
against supporters of Machado
continued.
Police Lieut.. Juan Del Vale,
called a deserter by his captors,
was taken into custody by police
and soldiers. He wounded one
soldier i1 the battle before he was
subdued. Police said he was a
brother-in-law Of former Police
Chief Ainciart.

Nudist Birthday Observed;
Birthday Suits the Rule
DR.. Caporn Is 56, So Party
Honors Event in Fitting
Style

Nudes cavorted at Washington's
first nudist birthday party, 1t
was revealed today.
The celebration, which, it - is
understood, was attended by a
number of government officials
who like to doff their clothing,
was given in honor of DR.. Alice
Caporn, Australian health au-
thority and proponent of nudiSm.
DR.. Caporn freely admitted
that it was her fifty-siXth birth
day. But she was a bit coy when
it came to revealing details OF the
party.
Weight Litter
It took place Monday night in
a home IN Potomac Heights, and
a feature of the affair was a
physical culture demonstration by
the nudist leader.
A slight woman, DR.. Caporn
lifted 2O0-pound sister nudiSt,
using the strength in her alb
dominal muscles TO accomplish
this feat. And while the nudists
applauded, other equally thrilling
demonstrations were presented.
Just where the house is located
DR.. Caporn wouldn't say. It
seems that nudists take an oath
Of secrecy. They don't want the
police and the vulgar rabble who
do not understand the higher
things in life gathering to gawk
at them.
You'd Be Surprised
But DR.. Caporn holds that
nudism is growing. She said:
'NudiSm Is not exhibitiOniSm.
1t is not abnormal. On the
contrary it is, more than any.
thing else, normal.
"And there is more nudism
practiced here than people
suspect"
Clothes are described by DR..
Caporn-who really wears 'em-
as part of the curse which fol.
lowed the fall of man and the
subsequent wearing of fig leaves.
But, while DR.. Caporn feels
that way, the Rev. DR.. Jane
