CUBA---PoliticaI Volcano

sssssssesssssssee'
BY NOEL THORNTON
tIsy Associated rressD

NEW YORK, September
14.-Seeking to establish a
responsible government, the
100000 people of Cuba
are going about the task of
uniting the centipede-like
legs of their numerous politi-
cal parties.
There is different political
machine for virtually every pro-
fession and belief. As evidence
of the vast divergence of political
Royalties, these are portion of
the parties that WELD influence:
ABC, Nacionalistas, Menocalistas,
ORIG, OCCR, OCRR, URIC, Com
munists, Directorio Estuiantil, and
Young Liberals.
ABC And ORIG Important
Of these, the ABC and ORIG,
because of their radical revolu-
tionary tendencies, appear impor-
tant factors in Cuba's task of
forging an administration that
will be supported by both the
military and private citizens.
The ABC is secret society
composed largely of students and
soldiers which long carried on a
vigilante type Of campaign and
combined with the force of a gen.
eral strike, eventually led to the
overthrow of the Machado re-
CINE. Their strongest support
is in Havana, Santiago and other
urban centers.
Although because of their ex-
treme secrecy it is difficult to de-
termine exactly, the ORIG APP
pears to be almost as strong as
the Abe.
Land Division Proposed
The ORIG is strictly an organ
ization of rural labor, and its chief
platform is for a division of land.
Its members would like to break
up the huge sugar plantations and
turn the smaller tracts to the
small scale agricultural workers.
The radical military junta which
seized the government from for
mer president de Cespedes is in
sympathy with the ABC, although
that organization lcontinues its
policy of secrecy and vigilante pa
troll.
Junta Largely Professional
The committee controlling the
government is composed of men
whose professions are largely rep
resented in the ABC. Guillermo
Portela and DIR. Ramon Grau San
Martin are college professors,
while Porforio Franco is a bank
er. Jose Irizarri is a lawyer, al
though his claim for sympathy of
the ORIG might be based on his
fostering of the land divisions
plan. Sergio Carlo, young edi-
tor, is spoken of as an extremely
powerful dark horse leader who
might succeed eventually as head
of new regime.
Communists apparently have
gained some influence, but it is
believed that if they became too
powerful they would be opposed
by the military.
Cooperate With Youth Movements
OF the older generation of po-
litical powers, the Nacionalistas
headed by Carlos Mendieta, and
the Menocalistas, headed by for
mer President Carlos Menocal, are
most important. However, they
have been, to certain extent. CO.
operating with such youth move
ments as the ABC, ORC and
oCCR Ga recently formed student
party.
One thing stands clear in the
uprising of these new political
powers-they have been largely
supported BY students and soldiers.
The new Cuba apparently is des-
tined to be a product of the youth
movement.

HUNGRY HAWK KILLED
 AFTER UNWISE FEAST ION "FARM MFRS" PET

A hungry chicken hawk came to a disasterous end yesterday when he feasted unwisely on one of Ray (Farmer) Getty's pet sea gulls near the Alaska Juneau Boarding House in the Last Chance Basin.
 The chicken hawk, which had a wing spread of 43 inches managed to capture the seagull and, after a fight of over an hour, vanquished it. The hungry hawk dragged the remains of it's victim 200 yards before beginning it's feast.
 Revenge for the sea gull's death was taken by Farmer" formerly of Shelton, Washington, now a loader in the Alaska Juneau mine. He seized one gun to kill the hawk and finding it too small, returned to the boarding house for heavier artillery-and after 10 shots suc- ceeded in killing the big bird.
 Harry Davidson brought the bird into town to be stuffed. After being mounted the hawk will be hung in the library of the Alaska Juneau boarding house.

CONGRESS NOW IN LAST WEEK
 SHORT SESSION
Senate Is Jam m ed with Bills House Seems
 Just Marking Time

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The Senate is piled up with important appropriation bills while the House is virtually marking time as Con gress plunged into the last week of the present session.
 Eight big supply measures await final action.
 Leaders agreed that the Senate jam might force some of the sup ply bills into the special session of the new Congress.
 Renewed efforts might compose some of the differences and speed vital measures to the White House before Congress dies at noon next Saturday. Legislative jams some times break unexpectedly and some leaders are hopeful that this action might be attempted during the six days including legalization of beer.

VOLUNTEERS TO GARRY HELP TO
 STARVING DEER
Dufresne and Five Co., Workers Leave on Seal
 Sunday to Cut Forage

Headed by Game Warden Frank Dufresne. the Alaska Game Com mission boat Seal, Capt. J. c. Sel- levold, left port Sunday with SIX men aboard to cut forage for fa- mine-suffering deer in this dis trict. it was announced today by E. M. Goddard, Acting Executive Officer of the Commission.
 The five men accompanying MT. Dufresne are volunteer workers No funds are available to hire the work done MT. Goddard said.
 The famine area is generally con- fined to the Juneau district it was revealed by surveys by Warden Dufresne and unofficial reports re- ceived at Commission headquar- ters. Douglas Island Admiralty Island from Hawk Inlet northward the east and north shores of Chi chagof Islands, and possibly the northeast shore of Baranof Island are affected. This makes it pos sible for the Commission to con centrate it's relief work and it is hoped that it will be possible to prevent serious loss among the herds.
 Already some deaths have oc- cured. Carcasses have been found on the beaches in several districts in the affected area and animals seen on the beach showed signs of weakness. The volunteer workers will cut alder and willow brush in strategic spots, accessible tc the animals, and in sufficient quan- tity to last for some time. It is probable that the work will have to be continued for two or thre; weeks.
 A close watch will be maintiand over the entire region MT. Goddard said. If conditions should grow worse in other areas volunteer; will be sought to carry on reliel work similar to that now in pro- gress out of this city.
 Those volunteering their services and leaving yesterday on the Sea were; Elliott Fremming, c. Ray bourne, Kenneth Hill, H. Torgersor and Charley Rice
