DAIRY PLANS
GET APPROVAL

Directors of the Ell Centro Cham
ber of Commerce have endorsed the
plan for tuberculosis eradication in
dairy cattle presented by DR.. c. U.
Duckworth, assistant director Of the
state department of agriculture, at
recent meeting of dairymen and
business representatives in Imper-
ial Valley.
The matter of cleaning up dairy
herds in Imperial Valley has been
referred to the County Farm Bu-
reau for action and C. o. Hoober,
president of that organization, has
received a letter from the Ell Gen.
tro chamber stating that he could
be assured of the assistance of that
body in any way possible in carry
ing through the project advanced
by DR.. Duckworth.
Several years ago directors of the
local chamber Waged a determined
battle to permit milk from this area
to enter the San Diego market.
Despite months of activity along
this line the chamber was unSuc-
cessful in its fight and the atten-
ton of the organization was then
turned to the matter of tuberculosis
eradication in order that the other
communities would have no grounds
upon which to base their refusals to
accept milk from this area. Local
milk has also been barred from Los
Angeles and these embargoes would
be automatically removed if all COWS
were tuberculin tested and the re-
acting animals eliminated.
In commenting on the matter to-
day w. A. Scheniman, chairman of
the dairy products committee of the
chamber, stated:
I'm the past few years the Ell
Centre Chamber has given much
time and thought to the dairying
situation in Imperial Valley. That
body has done everything possible
to assist both producers and dis
tributors of milk to improve the
dairy conditions in order that the
industry might bring a proper re-

CUBA,S NEW PRESIDENT

Yankee training is put ION the spot IN
Cuba, with the naming of Carlos Hevls as
provisional president, succeeding Ramon
Grau San Martin, who was ousted from
office yesterday after holding the posi-
ton since last September.
Hevia is a graduate of the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis IN
the class of 1920
His present position is not an envlable
one. as he has only nominal support from
Colonel Fulgencio Batista, former army
sergeant who headed the coup when put
Grau San Martin in office. Batlsta is the
"strong man. of Cuba, in that he holds
the support of the army
Hevia's sponsor is Antonio Guiteras,
member of Grau San Martins cabinet
who assisted in ousting his chief when he
believed the latter too weak to carry out
the revolutionary program.
Ratista fayors Colonel Carlos Mendie-
Ia. the Nationalist leader, for president
and while standing for Hevia at present,
is believed to be determined to push his
own man to the front. Such action is
certain to lead to civil war in Cuba, with
Guiteras and his followers opposing the
Batista faction.
Civil war would give an excellent op-
portunity for all the other disgruntled
factions to carry on campaigns and
plunge the entire country into chaos
worse even than that which has existed
for the great part of the past year.
If Hevia is strong enough, he may be
able to beat down Batista's opposition
and bring order to the government of his
country. While Annapolis is not consid-
cred a training ground for politicians
it does offer splendid development in
character and courage. If its training in
this respect has had sufficient effect up
on Hevia, he may be able to surprise the
politicians. Firmness and determination
can succeed against political trickery
though the odds are frequently in favor
of the latter.
United States interest in Cuba is deep
ened by the appointment of Hevia. This
country is anxious to see order restored
in Cuba and will be made doubly happy
if one of its own former midshipmen is
the man to bring it about.
Between Mussolini and WRH, it will be
remarkable if the United States escapes
war with Japan.
