Given to Committee.

By the Associated Press.
Protest against passage of resolu-
ton by the American olympic Assocla IA
United States team from the 1896 games
at Berlin was voiced today by Brig. Gen.
Charles H. Sheriff. at the quadrennial
meeting at the Carlton Hotel.
Gen. Sheriff., American member OF
the International Olympic Committee.
declared the resolution would do more
harm than good in Germany and else
where, and suggested tina. it be
amended to make it merely protest.
The resolution, presented by GustavuS
Town Kirby of New York, was identical
with that almost unanimously adopted
by the Amateur Athletic Union at its
national convention in Pittsburgh Mon
day.
After adoption of the resolution by
the A. A. a cablegram was received
from Olympic associates in Germany
reiterating the pledge given the Inter-
national Committee at Vienna in June
of no discrimination against German
athletes of Jewish faith.
The vote on the resolution was post
poned on motion of Murray Hubert OF
New York, former A. A. U. president
and the entire question referred to
committee of which Kirby and Sher-
rill were made members.
After Sherrill's protest against the
resolution in its present form, Charles
L. Ornstein, representative OF the jew
ish Welfare Board, demanded that the
associa ton either take positive action
or none at all.
Ornstein presented list of 40 al
legged examples of Nazi discrimination
against Jewish athletes since the Wen
ma meeting.

HAVANA IS Tense

By the Associated Press.
HAVANA, November a - Thr.s

HAVANA, November q. - Three
powerful bombs were exploded in Cam
aguey Province today killing one youth
and seriously wounding four others, as
new disorders developed In the interior.
The second death of the day came to
man gravely wounded last night when
seven bombs were exploded in the same
province. Considerable property damage
was reported.
The strife weary capital continued
tense as rumors were circulated that
threatened revolution was near.
Manzanillo port strikers, in an ugly
mood, fired on vessels in the harbor,
out there were no casualties.
Col. Fulgencio Batista continued his
extraordinary preparations for any
emergency. Army planes went aloft
early this morning. A guard of four
sololers and sailor was stationed at
the United States embassy. Soldiers
remained at their posts around and on
the roof of the palace.
Despite the preparatory activity,
however, the capital was fairly quiet
during the night-with only occasional
scattered firing. No lights were per-
mitted at the army and navy barracks.
Addressing troops at Cabana, Presi-
dent Grau San Martin lauded the
soldiers for your patriotism and brav-
cry in the last revolution"
AT the same meeting last night Col.
6 is asserted that formerly Cuba,
like a child, was being led by the
hand; now it is free and independent,
and 1t is the army's job to safeguard
the first steps of the reborn republic
against all dangers"

Commissar Evidently Plans
to Return Before Soviet
Claims Are Settled.
BY the Associated Press.

Maxim Litvinof planned to bid fare
we'll to Acting Secretary of State
Phillips this afternoon, and the belief
increased that the Russian commiSsar
for foreign affairs would return home
prior to the settlement of Russo Amer
lean debts and claims.
The Acting Secretary made it known
that except to say farewell. Litvinof
had no other official conferences on his
program. The Russian diplomat now is
expected to leave washington tomorrow
for New York preparatory to sailing for
home Saturday
Boris Skvirsky. new charge d'affaires
of the Russian embassy, paid his first
ceremonial call on Acting Secretary
Phillips today and other officials of the
State Department despite having resided
in the Capital for a dozen years as
head of the Soviet Information Bureau
Has Conferred With Kelley.
Several times in the past however, he
has conferred with Robert Kelley, chief
Of the departments Eastern European
division.
Skvirsky's designation as charge
d'affaires was given to the department
BY LityinOff. HIS residence on MaSSa-
chusetts avenue will be the Russian
embassy until the old cZarist embassy
on Sixteenth street has been remodeled
An important factor in completing
claims and debt negotiations is the
heavy press of new Treasury duties
which have kept Acting Secretary Nor.
genthau from devoting more time to
the Russian question. The debts and
claims were put in Morgenthaus hands
by President Roosevelt.
Confers at Treasury.
Litvinoff's broad brimmed black hat
was glimpsed yesterday at the Treasury
Department. He conferred with Nor
genthau and William c. Buuitt, Am
bassador- designate to Russia.
State Department officials said the
Soviet commissar did not put in an
appearance there yesterday. He has
apparently arrived at a satisfactory
understanding with American diplomats
on the consular treaty, defining the
rights and locations OF the consuls Of
the two countries.
The Soviet diplomat plans to attend
dinner in his honor in New York
Friday night.
Attendants said they did not know
whether Litvinoff planned to visit Italy
on his way home, but that apparently
he planned to take boat sailing
directly for France.

NEW YORK, November 22-Igor
Sikorsky, Russian-American designer of
eYtra.Slze flying boats, disclosed today
the details Of his newest Contribution
to commercial aviation-the S-42 an
airplane capable of flying the Atlantic
on regular airmail run.
The new ship" is intended to be
launched early in January and was
designed to meet requirements of Pan
American Anyways for its proposed
transatlantic service Col Charles A.
Lindbergh, technical adviser for the
company, with his wife, is in the Azores
at present on a survey tour of projected
routes.
Sikorsky said his newest plane will
be capable of flying across a regular
mail schedule with a paying load of
mail, or be capable of carrying 80
passengers, a crew of five, and 1000
pounds of mail and express, and will be
capable of fling this load over 1000
mile range.
The designer said the airplane will
more than meet specifications, which
require the ability to cruise $500 miles
against a 30-mile headwind.
THE difference between this maxi
mum specified qualification and the
normal requirements of actual service"
Sikorsky claimed, will be interpreted
directly into an increased pay load
The indicated mail load is actually only
a part of the capacity available in the
S-42 for a transoceanic service.
II believe it probable that the ship
on the longest necessary hop of trans
atlantic route will be found able to
carry double the pay load specified"
