The woman called police, say
ing that she had discovered the
strangest looking animal in her

Capt. Joseph Morgan and
Sergt. J. L. Norris went to the

found her wild with fright. She
pointed to some sort of thing,

Capt. Torres Menier, former avi-

the soldier guard was temporarily

1000 rounds of ammunition were

Captain Menier, who remained

prevailed in the eastern area OF

Meanwhile, it was learned that
one of the largest secret political
organizations opposed to President

campaigning for a general strike
as a means of driving out the
new Cuban administration.
If the move is successful, its
sponsors believe, it will lead to

from office by the second reVolu-

Sen. Harrison Says Congress
viii Enact Laws to
Provide Revenue

Likelihood that the return of
liquor in this country will neces-
state changes In the internal rev.
enue and tariff laws during the
coming session of Congress was
indicated today by Senator Pat
Harrison DO, chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee.
He said he has made some study
of what changes may be found
suitable and that it is his belief
that, although the liquors and i'm
ported alcoholic drinks should not
be too heavily taxed. the Congress
should see that as much revenue
as possible is obtained from the
industry.
Half Billion Seen
It was the Senator's estimate
that $500,00,00O annually will be
realized by the Federal Treasury
on domestic liquors alone, beside
the taxes coming in now on beer.
Senator Harrison added, in this
connection, that although the out
side estimates on the revenue ex-
pected to be derived annually
from the legalization Of beer was
$3.50 ,0O0,0 900, ut appears from the
figures available to date" that we
will get 5000 100000 this year.
Tax Offers Question
He said there is some question
in the minds of Treasury officials
now as to whether liquor pro-
duced in this country after the
Twenty-first amendment is adopt
ed will be taxed at the rate Of
$1.1O or $640 a gallon, since, he
pointed out, liquor manufactured
for medicinal use is taxed at $1.1O
now while those liquors produced
in this country which are diverted
are taxed at the $6.40 per gallon.
He expressed the belief. how
ever, that the Treasury officials
would decide that the $1.10 rate
is the one to be used, since that
is the tax on legal whisky now.
Regarding the tariff rates to
be applied against imported al
coholic beverages. Senator Har-
rison said he does not believe
the rate should be so high as to
exclude them, since by placing a
reasonable tariff on them an ad-
ditional source Of revenue would
be available. ias !

CUBAN OFFICERS
SELECTED BY
VOTE Of MEN
Are Picked From Ranks to
Avoid Dissension With
San Martin Regime

HAV ANA, Sept. IA 1.NS).
Cuba's new army is building q
sound framework by naming its
officers through popular company
elections from meritorious mem.
bers of the enlisted personnel.
Thus obviating possibilities of dis
SenSion in military quarters
against the government of presi.
dent Grau San Martin.
This was learned today by In.
ternational News Service through
an exclusive survey of the army
barracks at Camp Columbia and
Cabanas fortress.
Follow U. s. Method
An army spokesman--Private
Edward Ambrosio, corps of engi-
neers-declared the new Cuban
officers were being selected by
the same methods formerly used
by the United States National
Guard.
Ambrosio, who lived in the
United States eight years, Joined
the Cuban army in order not to
starve when he found It ilnpos.
sible to pursue an engineering
career in Cuba under the Ma.
chado regime.
Spiking reports that only ser
geants are becoming officers, and
that privates therefore are dis
gruntled, he predicted the army
would remain loyal to Col. Full.
genico Batista, new chief Of staff,
and President Grau San Martin.
No Efficiency Loss.
He declared the new system
caused no loss of efficiency,
since officers under the Machado
regime were permitted to hold
civil jobs and reported to their
barracks only once or twice a
day, with the result that SER
geantS actually were responsible
for army administration.
Ambrosio'S remarks we're cor
roborated by other privates, one
of whom said:
I'VE know Cuba will have to
pay the United States several
million dollars this month.
That will be paid first from
any revenue in the treasury.
We do not expect salaries until
the debt is paid. We want the
new government to succeed"

COAL CODE ROW
To Be ENDED

CONTINUED from Page ~
K. M. Simpson, in charge Of the
coal code, received news of the
tentative agreement among oper.
ators with satisfaction. he warned
against undue optimism over the
code situation.
Pact Is Redrafted
The proposals Of operators
we're compared with a redrafted
NRA code at special meetings of
two committees of mine oper-
ators named by Administrator
johnson to consider revision.
Of the 18 operators on the COM
mittee, it was pointed out by Off
cialS, 10 represent unionized fields.
This augured we'll for a code salts
factory to the United Mine
Workers of America.
Although the proposals Of the
operators and the Administration
were subject to change, it vas
understood a greater recognition
of the regional differences claimed
by operators was incorporated in
the new code.
New WalkOut Fought
News of workers being shot
down in Pennsylvania came as the
National Labor Board was strug-
Cling to settle a strike in the silk
textile industry. Officials pro-
fessed to believe that there was
little chance of their halting the
miners holiday" but it was
known that representatives of the
NRA we're quietly using their in
fluence to keep the miners at
work.
SOuthernerS Accused
AS charges were made privately
by unionized operators that the
coal code was delayed by Southern
non-union operators so they could
produce huge quantities of cheap
coal to be sold at a higher price
later, the National Coal Associa-
ton estimated bituminous produc-
ton for the week ending Septem-
ber 9 as 6.475.000 net tons.
This production was more than
100000 tons above the same
period a year ago. For the indus
try as a whole. there is a tre-
mendous surplus.

GENIAL JUDGE
HAS BIRTHDAY

Judge Robert E. Mattingly.
Municipal Court magistrate whose
judicial popularity has been ac-
quired through pinch hitting on
the Police Court bench. invented
a New Deal many years ago. but
his New Deal applies only to
birthdays, and they are his own.
Every year since Judge Mat
tingly has been on the bench, and
sometimes twice during the year,
he celebrates his birthday Each
birthday he lops off at least one
year from his age of the previous
year, and occasionally. his New
Deal works a little better and he
is able to moratorium" a couple
of extra years.
Fe celebrated his "forty-second"
birthday under this plan today,
and every office and department
in the various buildings around
Judiciary Square, as we'll as the
offices of the newspapers in the
city, were recipients OF ice cream
and cake-the gift of the genial
magistrate.
Judge Mattingly's birthday
party was better this year than
in other years. This much was
asserted even by the prisoners
in the Police Court docks, who
likewise assisted in the celebra-
ton, for the judge came out flat
footed under NRA and the compli-
mentary cards attached to the
ice cream and cake cartons bore
