HAVANA, June 2.-The possibility
of a military dictatorship In Cuba
was rumored tonight following the
resignation Of Emeterio Santo Venia,
secretary to the presidency.
Persistent rumors In palace circles
maintained that four other high gov
ernment oficials are ready to present
their designations.
Prospects of q cabinet crisis were
foreseen. Dhsension between mill
tary and civil authorities over the
newly-approved law Of public order
was said to be the reason for the rift
in President Carlos Mendieta's re-
gime.
Declared Move Against Civil Power.
Santos Venias resignation was re-
ported as a move against "lessening
the power Of civil authorities and In
creasing military jurisdiction"

virtually author Of the law on public
order, which provided methods to
speed up legal procedure in trials
against terrorists.
1t is generally known that the law
has been altered to give broader pow
ers to military authorities.
Cabinet members refused tonight to
comment on the rumors Of further
designations and drastic government
steps leading toward military aSsump-
ton Of power. They did not, how
ever, deny them.
Santo Venia merely confirmed the
fact he had resigned. He refused to
state his reason.
Hears Of Plots.
Rumors that opposition factions
were busily preparing some sort OF
action against the government be-
came stronger. Col. Fulgencio Ba-
tista, head of the army, who last
night ordered government troops
quartered in the capital to remain in
barracks, revealed that he knew sew

siderable opposition, it is said, de-
spite the fact that it has been
amended. Furthermore, Senator Wag-
ner of New York, author Of the bill.
is planning to offer from the floor an
amendment which would restore the
right of the proposed industrial labor
board to conduct Investigations when
any one should file complaints with
the board.
So far as the housing bill is con-
cerned, it is still in committee at
both ends of the Capitol. The Sen
ate Banking and Currency Committee
and the corresponding committee OF
the House have both been holding
hearings on the bill There is oppo-
sition to the bill as it now stands
In the committees. If it is reported
out it is sure to lead to much debate.
The deficiency bill, carrying appro-
priationS for the P. w. A. and for
relief, has Just been reported to the
House by the Appropriations Com
mittee. Disregarding the Presidents S
desires that he be allowed to deter
mine where the money is to be spent
and for what purposes, the House
committee has earmarked lot OF
the funds made available by the
bill. The President asked for approx
imately S1,322,0o0 900. The bill as
reported to the House states that not
more than $500,000,000 of the money
is to be expended under the P. w. A
It provides that $l00,000,0O0 must
be spent for highway construction
and that S65,000 900 must be used to
erect new public buildings-post Of
fees, etc. The earmarking OF the
funds is regarded as a defiance OF
Secretary of the Interior Ickes, whose
expenditure of the P. w. A. funds has
not satisfied some Of the members
of Congress who have been looking
for money for their districts.
La Toilette Amendment.
When this bill reaches the Senate
Senator Bob" La Toilette Of Wiscon-
sin is planning to offer his amend
ment which would raise the funds
for public works to something like
$l0,000,000, 900. The measure will be
subject to other attack in the Upper
House, too, where some of the Sem
ators are prepared to talk at length
about the large government expendi-
lures and the huge public debt. Sen
ator La Toilette has conducted one
man hearings for weeks on this sub
ject of public works funds and has
much data from labor leaders and
others to discuss when the bill comes
up for consideration.
The TugWell nomination, which has
been tied up in the Senate Committee
