Cuban Chief Fears
Communist Party's
Growing Influence
Large Demonstrations
Led by Party Held
Every Day

HAVANA, Aug. 20. - The only
force feared by Carlos Manuel de
Cespedes, Wall Streets puppet presi-
dent of Cuba, is the growing mass
activities and influence of the Com
munist Party, it was said by gov
eminent officials yesterday.
The influence of the Party is es-
pecially strong in Santiago, capital
of Oriente province, where large
mass meetings and demonstrations
are held daily under the leadership
of the Communists.
Thousands of handbills distributed
in Havana today call for demon
stration before the capitol, in pro-
test against the governments obedi-
ence to American imperialism.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court
will decide on Friday whether to
demand extradition of former presi-
dent Machado, to face trial on many
charges, from murder to malfeas-
ance.
Guillermo Urrutia, former Havana
district commissioner, committed
suicide. Seventy-eight of Machado's
Porristas are reported to be held
in Principe fortress.

Negro Lynched In

gangs, following the example set at
Tuscaloosa, lynched one Negro here
Monday and three times attempted to
lynch second.
This is the town where the re-trial
of Haywood Patterson, Scottsboro
boy, was held last April, and to which
Judge James E. Horton and Attorney
General Thomas E. knight, Jr., insist
the nine innocent Scottsboro boys be
brought for third trial in October
James Royal was lynched by the
gang Monday night, after Thomas
Brown, framed on a charge of attack
ing a white woman, was moved from
the flinsy Jail to Huntsville. The
lynchers attempted to storm the jail
When they discovered Brown had
been moved to Huntsville, they went
there in cars and demanded that he
be turned over to them. In the face
of the nationwide protest against
the Tuscaloosa lynchings, Sheriff Ben
Giles was afraid to do this. The
lynchers departed with threat that
tney would return "a JnOuSanQ
strong" though it was doubted
whether that many members of the
white lynch ruling class could be
mustered.
They returned second time, but
were again disappointed as Sheriff
Giles feared to turn Brown over to
them.
In Decatur, the lynchers we're per-
mitted to search the jail, the same
one in which the Scottsboro boys
were held last April, to prove that
Brown had been taken away.
At the time of the Scottsboro trial
here, the Jail was described as one
which could be broken into with a
teaspoon" by authorities. 1t is used
only for Negroes, all white prisoners
being taken to Huntsville.
No charge had been placed against
Royal, and authorities suppressed all
details connected with his lynching,
except that he was shot to death,
near the place where Brown had been
arrested.

last night at the yards to protest
a wage cut ordered by Secretary of
