MACHADO OUT

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 12. President Gererda Machado was given a leave of absence shortly before the expiration at noon today of the military ultimatum that Machado re- sign.
 The officers of the Avia- tion Corps informed United States Ambassador Sumner Welles that Gen, Alberto Her rerre, Secretary of War, is an impossible choice for Provis- ional President.
 The officers of the Avia- tion Corps presented a mem orandum declaring that Ma chado's successor must be non-military and impartial and indicated they will op- pose anyone connected with the Machado regime. They said both the army and the people are opposed to Ma chado.
 The statement was made in an authoritative manner in view of the fact that strategic points in Havana, including the great fort ress is in the hands of the military following yesterdays coup d'etat when the military notified Ma chado he must resign.
 Guns were trained on the city from the fortress.
 Hero May Be Chosen

STRUNK RESIGNS
POSITION WITH
C. W. FORCES
STATES ACTION TAKEN DUE
TO FACT THAT HIS TIME
is NEEDED IN OPERATION
OF HIS OWN BUSINESS

E. A. Strunk, Jr., yesterday
rendered to Marcus A. Fagg,
executive officer Of the Civil
Works Administration, his resigna-
ton as assistant disbursing Off
cial for the local unit of the CWA.
Mr.. Strunk has been connected
with the Emergency Relief opera
tions in Monroe county for about
one year and half, and during
that time, it is shown, has done
able and efficient work.
His resignation came as a sur
prise to other members of the
council and also to The Citizen,
which has kept in touch with the
operations of the disbursing Of
flee and realized the able man
ner in which the matter of funds
was handled.
To understand thoroughly the
situation and Mr.. Strunk's reasons
for resigning this paper saw him
today and asked the question.
Mr.. Strunk said he had been
about 10 months connected with
the local council and in charge of
disbursements. This was during
the life of the Emergency Relief
Council before it was absorbed by
the Civil Works Administration.
Before the FERA and CWA
consolidation the duties were COM
paratively light. Subsequently the
work has been multiplied to such
an extent, he says, that he is
forced to remain away from his
office as manager of the South
Florida Contracting and Engineer
ing Company for hours at a time,
and night after night work until a
late hour.
This application to the duties of
assistant disbursing officer for the
CWA and the ensuing neglect of
his duties as manager of the COM
pany, he has for so many years
been connected with, made it
necessary for him to relinquish one
or the other and, naturally. as he
says, his resignation as assistant
disbursing officer was rendered.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.
American aviation enters 1884
maintaining world leadership in
scheduled transportation and NOV
ing definitely toward that long
cherished goal of birdmen-estab-
lishment of regular transatlantic
service.
Indications are that air lines of
the United States in 1888 set new
records for number of passengers
carried for total number Of miles
and of passenger miles flown.
Some half-million persons rode in
air transports.
Lindberghs Blaze Trails
Plans for linking the United
States and Europe by air service
were dramatized by Colonel and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, who
climaxed MISUNDERSTANDING

miles over the south Atlantic from
Africa to Brazil, on their return
trip to the United States.
Government aeronautical Off
Gals express the opinion that safe
and reliable transoceanic service
can be operated in the near future
by airships, by large flying boats
and by airplanes using a proposed

ceeded the total for the first six
months of 1928.
Government aeronautic officials
! say one of the most notable de-
velopments in air transportation
during 1888 was the trend toward
twin-engined high speed planes.
Average speed was increased ma
terially.
The new air liners carry from
10 to 16 or more passengers and
cruise at speeds of from 140 to
nearly 200 miles an hour. Gov
eminent experts say these speeds
have been made possible in large
measure by general streamlining
and by the use of retractable land
ing gear.
Blind Landing Aids Devised
Development of the department
of commerce radio system as an
aid to blind landing" of aircraft
is rated one of the most import
ant accomplishments of the year.
This system enables a plane to
land at an airport entirely obscur-

PREDICTS NEXT
CONGRESS TO BE
VERY CRITICAL
QUESTION ARISES AS TO WHO
WILL BE FOREMOST CRIT
les IN MANY OF ADMIN
ISTRATIoN POLICIES
By HERBERT PLUMMER
lIly Assoclafed Pressl

u
| WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The
prediction of Everett Sanders,
chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, that the next
congress will be livery critical
raises the question as to who will
be the foremost critics of adj
ministration policies in the COM
ing session.
Washington observers are of
the opinion that two republicans
in the house will be heard often
and with authority. They are
James Wadsworth of New York
and James Beck of Pennsylvania.
Wadsworth is on record as
visioning the greatest constitu-
tional contests in history as an
outgrowth of the national recovery
legislation. Beck has said: at
seems inconceivable that indus
trialists of America who have
been accustomed to economic
freedom will not challenge
the validity of the recovery act"
The supreme court will have
decided or will have before it at
the time, cases involving the con-
stitutional foundations Of the
thew deal" recovery program.
Beck and Wadsworth, both
skilled in constitutional law,
naturally would be expected to
assume leadership among repub-
lican critics.
Straws In The Wind?
Some who have been watching
the supreme court closely pro-
fess to see an indication of that
tribunals attitude toward re-
covery legislation in an incident
which occurred during recent
argument in case from Mime
sofa, touching the right of state
legislatures to defer mortgage
contracts due to proclaimed
economic emergency.
Toward the end of the argu-
ment of the attorney general of
Minnesota, Justice Sutherland in
terrupted. He was interested in
whether it was the contention of
the Minnesota official that a
states police power superseded
that of the federal constitution.
Justice Sutherland seemed dis
satisfied with the reply. Several
times he reframed his question in
an effort to get clearer ans
wer.
Just when it seemed the situa-
ton was becoming too involved,
Chief Justice Hughes broke in.
In very deft fashion he changed
the subject completely.
Those who witnessed the in
cident inferred that the chief JUS
tice was of the opinion there was
no question of which was supreme.
Uruguay's Warm Weather
The administration kept its
counsel to the end, as far as
Washington is concerned, as to
just what it has in mind to ac-
eomplish at the forthcoming Pam
American conference at Monte
video next month.
Newspapermen climbed out of
bed on the coolest day the capital
has experienced this winter to
see Secretary Hull, chief delegate.
off for New York to board his
ship for the Uruguayan parley.
To last-minute queries, the sec
rotary merely replied, shivering:
