U.S.. Air Armada Plans Hop
to Rome With rs Ships

The Naval Air Force is prepar-
ing to stage an unusual eXhibi-
ton of air strength next summer
by hurting across the Atlantic a
fleet Of seaplanes.
The flight will be the most
ambitious ever attempted by any
United States air force.
BY making Rome it's objective,
the fleet ostensibly will be return
ing the compliment paid by Gen.
eral Balbo's recent visit to Amer
lea, but stragetists see in the
flight a bid by the United States
for recognition as a formidable air
foe by world powers which may
have war thoughts in their minds.
Not to Guido BalbO
A maximum of Is planes will
make the flight, the same number
as Balbo'S armada. The fleet will
be limited to that number, ex-
planned Rear Admiral Ernest j.
King, chief of the Navy Bureau of
Aeronautics, because:

The gravity of the situation in
Cuba, where a coup has led to the
overthrow of the shortlived Ces-
pedes government, prompted the
American government today to
dispatch four naval vessels to
Cuban waters.
In announcing the sending Of
the ships, Secretary of State Hull
emphasized that it is not the in
tention of the American govern
ment to resort to intervention.
To Stand BY
The status of the vessels, he
said, is the same as when they
were sent some weeks ago during
the Machado administration. They
will stand by for the protection
of American lives and property.
The vessels ordered to Cuba
were:
The cruiser Richmond, from
the Canal Zone to Havana.
The destroyer MacFarland,
from Key West to Havana.
The destroyer Bainbridge,
from Norfolk to Havana.
The destroyer Sturdevant,
The Washington times., 1933-09-05
U.S.. .Rushes 4 Ships to Cuba;
Intervention Denied

from Guantanamo to Santiago.
The dispatch of the ships was
decided upon after Secretary of
State Hull had two telephone con-
versationS with Ambassador Sum-
ner Welles this morning.
Situation Tense
Welles reported the situation as
tense and was unwilling to predict
just what will happen.
First advices regarding the
seriousness of the situation in
Cuba came to Secretary Hull
about 6 a. m. by message. Hull
Immediately got in touch with
Ambassador Welles by telephone.
After this conversation there was
some consultation between Welles
and State department aides, re-
sulting in another call.
It is understood Hull also COM
municated with President RooSe-
velt.
Secretary Hull emphasized that
no orders have been given the
naval commanders to land any
men.

CARNATIONS stating that "deliber-
ate chiseling will not be toler-
ated," and laying down certain
plans for dealing with Blue Eagle
violations.
Government Property
The communication explained
that the Blue Eagle is the prop
erty of the Government, which is
the only agency that can deprive
an employer of his NRA sticker.
Reports of the progress of the
local NRA campaign will be
made Thursday by the leaders,
and it is then that the women
feel that at least a part of the
policing program should be be-
gun. Says Mrs. KeranS:
"There is a general impress
sion among the workers that a
plan should be forthcoming
now, so that operations can
begin as soon as the initial
campaign closes"
Thomas P. Littlepage, head of
the local Blue Eagle forces, was
out of town today and could not
be reached for statement.

flight, the admiral believes. He
denies new planes will be built
especially for the junket.
Plans, admittedly "Still vague" {"
call for the fleet taking off some
time next summer, depending
upon the President.
Roosevelt Promise"
Navy officials believe he was
serious in his intimation to Balbo
at the White House luncheon
that the United States would re-
turn the compliment of his visit.
The best route, in the opinion
of Admiral King, is from New
foundland direct to the Azores,
rather than across northern Eu-
rope. The southern route is the
same taken by Balbo on his re-
turn to Italy.
It has the disadvantage of a
2,OO0-mile jump at the beginning,
King points out, but in other re-
Spects has many advantages.
Among these is that the south
ern route does not require many
stops in neutral waters. Such
stops nullify the military signifi-
canoe of such flight in the opin-
ion of naval air chiefs.

The cabinet ministers said they
would await President deCespedes
at the presidential palace. 1nd1-
cations were he would join his

The new revolutionary junta,

BURGLAR DROPS
KNIFE, FLEES

Menaced by a colored burglar
with a knife, Mrs. Jules Demonet
member of a widely known Wash
ington family, screamed and
frightened away the intruder in
her home early today.
Mrs. Demonet had only a maid
with her in her home in the 1900
block of H St. N. w. at the time
Arising early this morning, she
went into an adjoining room
Hearing a noise in her bedroom,
she returned and saw the colored
man.
When she entered he drew a
knife and warned her to keep
silent.
Not needing his warning, she
screamed. He rushed at her,
pushed her to one side, and
jumped through a window to
escape. AS he did so he dropped
the knife.
Mrs. Demonet called police,
who searched the neighborhood
but were unable to find any trace
of the burglar.
The intruder left his shoes in
his hurry to get away.

NRA Women Seek Means
to Check Code Slackers

Dissatisfaction of women volun'
teer workers in the local NRA
campaign against thessinaction Of
officials in forming plan taadea1
with NRA violators came out in
the open today.
Many of the 1,100 women now
canvassing from door to door be-
lieve their voluntary work will
come to nought unless some defi-
mite method of checking up on
employers displaying the Blue
Eagle is arranged.
Women Expect Results
In speaking of the attitude of
these women, Mrs. Grattan Ker-
ans, captain in charge of publicity
for the women's division of the
Washington campaign, said today:
"They feel that if they go out
and do this work, something
should come of it."
In many cases, the volunteers
have discovered outright viola
tions of the Blue Eagle agreement,
but have been undecided about
what action to take because of the
lack of an official plan. In the
meantime, written complaints
from businessmen, consumers and
employees continue to pile up at
the local NRA headquarters. The
arrival of 10 more complaints to-
day swelled the total on file to
more than 10.
Prince Asks Reports
Coincident with the growing
dissatisfaction of the volunteers
was the announcement today from
Ben L. Prince, head of the State
Recovery Board for the District,
that his organization is prepared
to deal with relations between en-
ployers and employees under the
Blue Eagle. He said:
'"The women volunteers should
report their findings to their.
local organization. If the local
organization certifies their COM
plants and sends them to us,
we can act, but not before"
The State Recovery Board is a
medium for mediation and re,
view of violations, rather than
for policing, he explained.
Today also saw the sending of

COURT TRIAL

MONTREAL, Sept. G.N.S)
A desire to return to Cuba and
stand trial on charges made
against him by his opponents as
soon as a stable government has
been established was expressed
here today by former President
Gerardo Machado.
His announcement was made as
news reached his headquarters
here of the capitalization of the
government of Provisional PreSi-
dent Carlos Manuel de Cespedes to
a revolutionary junta. Machado
said:
"As soon as there is in power
a government that can guaran-
tee my safe conduct, / want to
go back to stand trial and be ex-
Onerated of the ScurrilOus
charges that have been made
against me.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 5
(I.N.S.). - Brownsville, Tex,
and much of the lower valley,
rich citrus and truck growing
section, were cut off from
communication early today by
the Gulf storm which struck
there shortly before midnight.
Because of lack of communica-
ton facilities, damage was un-
known, but before the lines went
down, reports we're that the wind
was very strong. No deaths had
been reported.
Telegraph and telephone lines
men were working to repair wires.

Electric power had failed at
Corpus Christi. The power com
pany which supplies the city and
that section of the State has a
huge generating station in the
city.
1OO-Mile Winds Recorded
When the communication lines
went down, towns near Browns
vile estimated the velocity of the
wind on the Mexican border was
100 miles an hour.
The full force of the storm
seemed to be centered in the
citrus s-growing section of the val
ley, which extends from Browns
vile upward along the Rio Grande
for about 70 miles.
The movement of the citrus
crop had just started, and pros
poets were for a bumper yield.
The wind, it was feared, had done
untold damage to the fruit.
Corpus Christi Flooded
Last reports from Corpus
Christi in the night were that
water was flowing over the streets
below the bluff and bordering the
bay.
A meager report from Ray
mondville, about go miles from
Brownsville, said the wind still
was blowing at about 80 miles an
hour there.
Corpus Christi and other coastal
cities were in darkness all night
after the gale and tides put power

poured through Chaparral and

Giants, were not of gigantic build
at all, but gentlemen Of very
ordinary physical dimensions.
In truth, several Of the Wash
ington Griffins we're much larger,
especially one gentleman whose
features were highly remindful OF
Cyrano de Bergerac. There are
two other Washington gentlemen
whose physiognomical structure is
reminiscent Of that romantic
swordsman.
The title "Griffins" applied to
the washington performers, is OBJ
viouSly a nomenclature borrowed
symbolically from the fabulous
monster, half eagle, half lion, OF
ancient mythology.

1t is an appropriate name, too
for the Washington gentlemen

grasp flying pellets which New
York gentlemen had impelled Wig
orously with wooden cudgels, and
the Griffins also roared like lions
when certain gentlemen dressed
in blue apparently out on the
field to make sighting remarks
to the players) made statements
that they did not fancy.
At various intervals during the
game one of the gentlemen
dressed in blue would dust off
the threshold of "home."
The bleachers (Which, I un
derstand from a neighbor is q
section especially built for sun
bathers) resembled a brides first
bread-pudding, the bottom of the
pan showing through. Lack OF
sunlight evidently kept many sun
bathers at home under the sun
lamps.
A Griffin gentleman, one OF
those who somewhat resembles
Cyrano, does an interpretative
dance, in an oblong to the left
of the diamond, while his com
panions rest. He accompanies
himself with a long and none toe
tuneful whistle.
Keep Sun-Bathers in Place
The two teams took turns send
ing three gentlemen far out on
the spacious territory, beyond the
diamond, for the purpose, &C
cording to the gentleman at my
right, of keeping the sun-bathers
off the greensward. Occasionally
one of these gentlemen would
retrieve a Spheroid which was
struck too hard. Spectators were
remarking that they were catch
ing files" but only noticed
them grasping the stray spheroids
One particular Griffin, Heine
