.CUBANS FEAR
NEW REVOLT.
May Day Expected To Bring
More Bloodshed According To
Political Chiefs.
By LAWRENCE S. HAAS
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
HAVANA, April %. - Reports
from secret agents that left wing
political elements planned a rev.
olution on May day - Tuesday -
brought police and soldiers into
the streets in heavy armed patrols
today after extensive raids here
and in Camaguey province.
News of the planned rebellion
came just after the government
took a step which was expected to
cause further disaffection in the
ranks of the powerful ABS political
party-appointment of state colln-
Gil to act in advisory capacity to
the cabinet.
But this was overshadoWed by
obvious concern over an imminent
and apparently big scale attempt
at government overthrow.
First news of the planned re-
bellion came from Camaguey pro-
vince. where soldiers conducted
raids at Casorro and Marti arrest
ing many civilians and former army
men, seizing a large supply OF
arms and ammunition.
Police arrested several left wing
labor leaders, against whom they
placed formal charges in order to
hold them over May day. Patrols
raided headquarters of radical or
ganizations.
/ Other patrols searched pedes-
! trians and motor cars for arms. Ir
one automobile they found two
striking telephone men with a
! bomb. A raid on the headquarters
of the Tobacco Workers syndi-
cate yielded literature alleged to be
subversive, and five leaders were
! taken to Cabanas fortress.
Soldiers Stage Raids
Soldiers raided another building
where a meeting was in progress
and arrested 60 women and 25 men
including Prof. Juan Marinella
president of the anti-imperialist
league. The women were released
! The men were taken to Cabanas
In appointing its council of state
the government reduced it in num-
Der from the proposed 80 to Is
Councillors, appointed at once, in
cluded university professors, news
papermen and representatives OF
political factions.
Carlos DE La Tore was con-
! firmed as president. The govern
ment said the council was reduced
in number because, in view OF
elections to be held in December
it would be impossible fer a big
body to function properly. How
ever. 1t was indicated that the real
reason was because OF a struggle
for control of the council by polit
ical parties.

CAPTURED OFFICER RELATES HIS
EXPERIENCE DURING WILD RIDE

, choice but to follow orders. They
took our own .38 police pistols
and the two rifles which we had
in my car.
Wyeth was a former member OF
the Detroit purple gang. Both were
pretty tough. Wyeth put me be-
hind the wheel, and kept the
gun in my ribs.
LIE Cornec was in the back seat,
with Stewart keeping him covered.
They kept their guns on us all
during the ride of some 800 miles
They did not threaten us after the
start, when they said, follow or
ders, or We'll let you have It," We
took them at their word. They
talked easily and would answer our
questions.
From San Rafael I drove to Napa
and Fairfield and up the valley
toward Lake Tahoe. At about 40
miles from the Nevada line, we
turned to Bridgeport and over the
Sierras. Then we hit Bishop and
went through the Mojave desert to
San Bernardino.
When they needed gasoline,
Wyeth would drive up to station
and bargain with the attendant.
They didn't rob any or show their
guns. Wyeth was smooth talker.
He would get some to charge it,
saying he would pay later, as we
had been on a party at Lake
Tahoe, had been drunk for 4
couple of days and lost our money.
Others just gave us few gallons.
That story checked with our
appearance, for we didn't stop at
all except for 10 minutes or so
at times, we're unshaven and
pretty tired.
When we got into San Bernar-
dino, the pair told us to get out
and take it easy for 10 minutes. .

around the block. too, to see that
we were following instructions.
When we got to the sheriffs Of

meal since Wednesday. 1t was a
rib steak, and certainly tasted
good.

Fed by alcohol from 15.500 bar
rels and 1000 cases of whisky,
flames swept through the Old
Pepper distillery on the Frankfort
pike today, causing damage esti-
mated at $5,O00,0O0 and taking the

was found lying between two blaz-

Travis, before his death. said the
fire started from explosion of gas
oline which he poured on wood

became chill. He had believed the
liquid was kerosene.
Firemen feared that George Tay-

move liquor, and was not seen to
return.

Recovery of money due the irri-

possible. engaged the attention OF
the directors during their meeting
late yesterday afternoon.

partments in connection with the
All-American canal construction

together. Seen thus there was a

Miss Rosa had vaguely described
