U. S. Demands Americans Be
Protected as Bullets Fly;

HAVANA, Nov. 8 (I.N.S.).
The United States Government
took a hand today in the sur
prise revolt against the gov
eminent of President Ramon
Grau San Martin.
The American consulate served
a warning on both government
and rebel leaders that endanger-
ing of neutrals by rifle or ma
chine-gun fire would not be coun-
tenanced. They were advised to
give adequate warning of any
possible disturbance in districts
inhabited by foreigners.
Firing continued throughout
the city all morning, although
the government insisted it had
the situation well in hand,
A rebel airplane waSeported
to have landed on the Gulf Of
Mexico 70 miles northwest Of
Key West.
The revolt was staged by the
army aviation corps under leader

Seize Army Posts
The aviation rebels were Joined
by the powerful ABC student revo-
lutionary group and claimed to
have captured all police stations
and all army posts in Havana ex-
cept Camp Colombia and Castillo
FuerZa.
One rebel was killed and eight
persons wounded in machine-gun
fire near the presidential palace,
harboring the President and his
loyal army chiefs.
ABC Heavily Armed
The rebels confidently predicted
the downfall of the government.
Major Circo Leonard, insurgent
leader, announced he would send
a. commission to the president
demanding his resignation imme-
diately.
The ABC members were heavily
armed and were an effective ally
of the air corps.
The move ent apparently
gained way rapidly as a group
of 1000 rebels seized the San
Ambrosia army barracks. A few
minutes later the aviator rebels
had taken over the cavalry bar
racks.
Just before these two impor-
tant posts were seized, Col. Full

Old John Barleycorn, buried
with loud Hosannas by the
drys 10 years ago, was resur-
rected today by popular vote
and in his vacated grave were
deposited the remnants of the
Eighteenth Amendment, prob
ably the most controversial
statute in American history.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Utah
supplied the votes which ended
Constitutional prohibition and re-
legalizes liquor. Together they
completed the SO States necessary
istWssear the Eighteenthsa Amends
ment from the Constitution.
Kentucky may prove the 37th
State when its votes are counted
today, but they are unnecessary.
The deed is done.
Carolinas Defaulted
At that, in their victory the
vets suffered their first defeat.
The two Carolinas m a ched
counter to the popular trend in
yesterdays election, casting their
votes against repeal-to the con-
siderable surprise OF everybody.
Since Michigan led the way last
spring, State after State has fol-
lowed suit in unbroken line until
the Carolinas.
The effective date Of repeal
thus will be December 5, when
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Utah
hold their conventions to ratify
the action of the voters yesterday.
10 To Have Rum At Once
After that date it will be legally
possible to buy liquor in some
10 States. Eleven of them already
have completed legislation that
becomes effective automatically
upon the repeal date. They are
Arizona, California, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Montana, Ne
vada. New Mexico, New York, In
diana, and Rhode Island.
Eight others have set the ma
chinery in motion to complete
liquor control laws. They are
Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New
Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Washington and Wisconsin.
None of these 10 States now
have any prohibition laws, and
eventually all will be wet in one
way or another. There is no uni
formity in the various State laws
that have been enacted, and
likely there will be none, at least
for some time to come. It may
be possible to buy drink in one
State and consume it on the
premises. In another it may be
necessary to buy a package and
carry it away.
In 16 States there are prohib-
ition statutes that can be wiped
out by State legislatures. They
are: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia.

AID ORDERED
FOR NEEDY
FAMILIES
$500, 900, 900 of PWA Funds 10
Be Used to Substitute
Work for Relief

International News Service
President Roosevelt today set
up a winter relief program de-
signed to place 100000 fami-
lies, now receiving inadequate
funds, on self-sustaining ba-
sis.
The program contemplates use
Of a maximum of 100000, 900
from the Public Works fund of
$4,000, 100000 and will remove all
families from the nations relief
rolls.
Hopkins Put in Charge
Mr.. Roosevelt termed his new
program the civil Works Admin
istration" and placed Harry L.
Hopkins, Federal relief director,
In active charge.
The program will extend through
the worst part Of the winter and
will not become imperative be-
fore February at the earliest.
States, counties, and cities will
be asked to give their share just
as they are now; but this will
not mean an increase in the relief
burden Of these agencies.
AS the plan will operate. the
local and State agencies will be
absorbed as divisions of the new
administration and continue to
contribute the amount of relief
funds they already are supplying.
The present Federal relief admin
1stration also will help to finance
the new plan.
May Eliminate Relief
The ultimate aim of the winter
program is to place all of the
100000 families now on relief
rolls in the new category, thus
transferring them from relief rolls
to the Civil Works Administration.
The new setup will enable
cities, counties, and states to
carry out a number of projects
which have not been possible
under straight relief programs
due to the necessity of purchas-
ing supplies.
AS the plan will operate upon
the individual, those now receiv-
ing $40 week, for instance, as
straight relief, and performing
for this money such work as
cleaning up parks, will be placed
on 30-hour working week basis
and the amount of money they
receive materially increased.
The President said he hoped
to have 100000 Of the 1900, 900
families now on relief working
under the new program by No
vember 16 and the remaining
100000 at work a month from
that date.
Mr.. Roosevelt regards the new
program as a fundamental change
in the Federal relief policy, and
expects it to care adequately for
the relief work necessary during
tho winter.
d. C. Treated as State
The District Of Columbia will
be treated exactly as if it were
a State. The District Emergency
Relief Administration will be re-
duced substantially in proportion
as persons are transferred from
relief rolls to work projects.
The District Commissioners will
have provided for them a branch
of the Civil Works Administra-
ton. The branch will be OPP
Grated, it is believed, by persons
now engaged in dispensing re-
lief.

Complete reversal of personnel
policies in the Federal service in
solar as they affect employees past
the age Of 40 is foreshadowed by
the announcement of the Civil
Service Commission today that
stenographertypist examinations
will be given applicants up to So
years of age and that efforts will
be made to prevent discrimination
against older workers in the Fed
eral service.
The time limit originally fixed
for the stenographer-typist exam
nations already had expired when
the Commission made public to-
day the following statement:
"In view of the present I'M
employment situation, the Civil
Service Commission has an
nOunced that it has extended
from November Z to November
30 the closing date for the re-
ceipt Of applications for the

will have reached their fOrtieth
but not their fifty-third birthday
on November 80. i 10,
'The Civil Service Commits
sion will urge that departments
and Independent offices do not
refuse to appoint certified
eligibles merely on the ground
Of age"
This means that only those APP
plicants under 40 who already
have filed applications may take
the examination for stenographer
and typist, but that older appli-
cants have until the end of the
present month to apply.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 QN.S.).
In a great civic upheaval,
Tammany Hall, for years the
dominant influence in New
York city politics, went down
to defeat as returns today
showed that Fiorello H. La
Guardia, Fusion candidate,
was elected mayor by a plu-
rality of 254,5O6.
More than 100000 voters
went to the polls.
LaGuardia ran away from both

bearer. OF 2,112,146 votes cast
for mayor, LaGuardia received
858,551; Mckee, 6O4,045; and
O'Brien, $4,000.
Tammany Hall In Gloom
Tammany Hall was plunged in
gloom today as district leaders
and other politicians sat around
and held post mortems on the
election.
The name of Alfred E. Smith
came in for lot of private con-
versation. There were some who
thought the former governor may
eventually supplant Curry a.
leader of Tammany.
At the same time there was
plenty of criticism of Smiths at
titude during the campaign-hiS
aloofness and his failure to say
single word in behalf Of
O'Brien or the Tammany ticket.
Such position was entirely
foreign to Smiths customary
policy, as he has been in the
thick of all previous municipal
campaigns.
One rumor widely circulated
was that Smith will be asked to
resign from Tammany. It was
reported that a resolution call.

got into row with hangers-on
at his polling place.

the defeat of Ferdinand Pecora,
