Interior Disorders
Are Troubling Cuba

Havana, Nov. 22.-(P,-New disord-
ers In the interior developed last night
and early Wednesday as rumors that
the threatened revolution was near
circulated in a tense and strife-weary
capital.
Seven bombs exploded in Camaguey
province during the night. One man
was gravely wounded. Considerable
property damage was reported.
Manzanillo Port strikers, in an ugly
mood, fired on vessels in the harbor
but there were no casualties.
Colonel Fulgencio Batista continued
his extraordinary preparations for
any emergency. Army planes went
aloft early Wednesday morning. A
guard Of four soldiers and sailor was
stationed at the United States en-
baxsy. 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 occas-
1onal scattered firing.

WASHINGTON AWAITS
OFFICIAL REACTION
TO SPRAGUE ATTACK
Former Treasury Adviser Seeks
to Steer Nation Away
From Initiation

Washington, Nov. 22.-(P)-Wash-
ington Wednesday sought further adj
ministration reactions to the avowed
intention OF DR.. o. M. w. Sprague to
help build up the aroused and organ
lied public opinion" he said was neces-
sary to keep federal fisca! policies
from bringing "unrestrained infla-
ton"
The search was rather difficult be-
cause of the ruling by the new
treasury chief, acting Secretary Henry
Morgenthau. Jr., that all departmental
information must pass through deslg-
mated channels. But it was recalled
that Sprague's resignation, which he
announced Tuesday, was submitted
informally ~ President Roosevelt last
Thursday and that no noticeable
change in policy hao been made since.
The only official comment for pub
ucation on the retirement Of the
treasury financial advisor was this
from Morgenthau:
Il knew this was imminent.
knew he was out of sympathy with
the administration. I am only sur
prised It did not take place sooner.
I think the sun will rise tomorrow
and the next day and the birds will
sing"
Sprague had been in disagreement
with President Roosevelt's money
policies since the world economic con-
ference ended in London last July.
During that meeting he urged that
foreign exchange be stabilized. The
president refused and 1t was ex-
planned that such move might keep
domestic commodity prices from NOV
ing upward.
There were others who said
6pragues objections were to have
been expected.
Sprague's primary objections to the
gold buying plan were that currency
depreciation alone will not bring the
price rise, and that bonds ARE an
unsatisfactory investment when q
government is determined to depre-
ciate its currency
Il believe" he added, you are
faced with the alternative either of
giving up the present policy or OF
meeting government expenditures with
additional paper money

ROOSEVELT Is LEAVING
DETAILS TO TREASURY

Warm Springs. Ga. Nov. 22.-tP)-
President Roosevelt is going ahead
with hts dollar revaluation program
and is leaving the issue with Acting
Secretary Morgenthau of the treasury
while he goes on with his vacation.
This Is accepted here as the presi-
dents answer to the resignation Of
o. M. w. Sprague, former advisor to
the Bank of England, as special
adviser to the treasury. Sprague pro-
posed an organized movement against
tht administrative monetary program.
II the published letter of Sprague
protesting against the gold control
plan and the failure to consult him
caused the president any concern it
was not evident. Stephen r. Early,
secretary to the president. replied in
response to inquiry that the Sprague
action would have no effect on the
administration monetary program
Sprague has not been in the presi-
dents monetary conferences since
the London economic conference.
Last Saturday the president re-
ferred to the critics OF his money plan
as modern tories and doubling
ThomaSes."
He will speak over the air Wednes-
day and again Friday but there is
no indication that he is going TO dis
cuss his gold control program.
Interest is evident here in the
treasury In the protest Of the news
papermen over the ruling Of Acting
Secretary Morgenthau requiring that
all information in that department be
given out at one source.
Early. who is in charge Of govern
ment press relations. insists that this
is not meant for censorship or for a
gag" but rather for accuracy.

Generally, when we have winning
tricks, we like to cash them. However.
there are times when it doesn't pay
to be too eager to do SO Immediately.
It. may pay you to wait until little
later, when you can gain several tricks
by your hold-up. That point is well
brought out in today's hand.
While a third hand club bid may
be nothing more than an inference
bid and may be made regardless of
the club holding, it does not always
mean that the person making such a
bid holds no clubs. However, when
ever your partner opens third hand
club or diamond bid, would proceed
a little more cautiously than after a
major suit opening bid.
South has good safe bid In one
diamond over one club, and as soon
as North bids two diamonds over the

that he had legitimate bid. South

were at a loss for clues.
In fact, the killer had evidently
taken pains to handle the body
as carefully as possible as 1t was
covered with a blanket that had
been tucked in at the ends and
the head, face down, rested on two
small pillows.
Nearby lay q revolver covered
with cloth, but police scoffed at
the suggestion that Mrs. Wyne-
koop might have killed herself
for she had been shot In the back
just below the left shoulder.
Three bullets had been fired from
the weapon but her life had been
taken with a single shot.
