The Washington times., 1933-08-14

Despite the general jublilation
at De Cespedes' succession to the
presidency, an attempt was made
to assassinate him four hours after
he took the oath of office.
An automobile filled with men
believed to have been Machado
supporters, striving to effect a
last desperate revenge for the re,
verse suffered by their chief, sped
past the home of the new preSl-
dent, spraying it with machine
gun bullets.
Soldiers Reported Wounded
No one at the house was hit.
but two soldiers were reported
wounded by a volley OF lead as
the gunner escaped.
In strange and pleasing con-
trast to the violence and blood
shed of the weekend, Havana
presented a quiet and almost
normal appearance today.
The streets were cleared Of the
debris and litter left by the
blood-thirsty mob which resorted
to arson and pillage to efface
traces of the Machado region,
and the wild hysteria which fol-
lowed Machado's downfall gave
way to calm reconstruction.
Signalling President de Ces-
pedes' first success, the general
strike which preceded the revo-
luton came to an end.
Markets opened at daybreak,
and for the first time in a week,
deliveries Of milk. ice, and coal
were resumed. Taxicabs began
operating and street car barns
hummed with activity.
Grocery and drug stores opened
their doors at the regular hour.

before deciding upon more drastic
pressure than that Of public
sentiment.
He learned from Deputy Ad-
ministrator K. M. Simpson Of
the stalemate in the oil, steel,
and coal industries.
100000 Under Code
A cheering note was found. how
ever, as Recovery Administration
officials estimated that from T.
100000 to 10000 900 workers,
nearly one-fourth of the total, had
been brought under the Blue
Eagle.
Another feature the President
was considering was a speeding
of the $4,000, 100000 public works
program. The effort of Secre-
tary of Interior Ickes to build a
graft-proof organization and in
augurate national planning has
necessarily retarded the effort to
reemploy men.
The industrial recovery admin
istration had been striving to
bring 100000 workers back to
jobs by Labor Day. The PreSi-
dent wanted to put 100000 on
public works jobs by october /.

Smouldering strike sentiment in

today, just one week after the Ma
