TERRORISTS in Cuba, who have
l. been stirring up continual trouble
for the Mendieta administration, pre-
cipitated bloody warfare in Havana
by making an unprovoked attack on
parade of $4,000 members of the ABC,
the islands largest secret political So
ciety. The radicals, ambushed in
cross streets, opened fire with ma
chine guns, pistols, sawed-off shotguns
and rifles, moving down scores of the
marchers and many bystanders. About
a dozen were killed outright. The
ABC members fought valiantly with
their revolvers and with clubs and
stones. Later the fighting spread
throughout the city, the students TAX
ing sides with the terrorists.
Col. FulgenciO Batista, chief of staff,
declared martial law in Havana as
soldiers, sailors, and marines strug-
gled to stem the rioting.
Only few hours before this furious
battle, President Mendieta narrowly
escaped death at the hands of the
terrorists. A bomb was exploded be-
hind his chair during luncheon at
naval base across the bay from Ha-
vana, and he was badly wounded in
the legs and arms and severely shocked.
Two naval officers were killed and ten
others were wounded by the blast.
Authorities could not figure how the
bomb could have been brought into
the closely guarded military grounds
unless it were carried In the camera of
a newspaper photographer who was
arrested.

This writer has been in Washington
almost twenty years and never in that
time have the facilities made available

Now. however, the President is trav-

not even have his own secretaries

three correspondents to accompany

In defense of the action. 1t can be

They say the guy can sock with

goody. Yeah, goody, goody right
now, but it may not be so good
if the kid continues to slaughter
rivals, and finally gets to the place
where he can get a shot at the
championship. Negro contenders
for boxing titles are usually given

I want to bring out a few points
on how our unit came into exist

port, in what you would call des-
olate place. A few people Of our
race upon seeing the enormous
rents we had to pay to the land
lords, found an abandoned piece
of land where we decided to live.
where we wouldn't be ANNOYED by
the landlords, That is Chapsa Hill.
After being located out there. we
began to read the newspapers and
found a paper on the streets, a
paper called the DAILY Worker. +"
We began to read this paper and
found that it was taking I'D the
rights of the workers. We learned
through this paper that there was
an International Labor Defense
that was fighting for the nine
Scottsboro boys. We had got a
sneeze of it through the Pittsburgh
Courier and saw how the capitalist
courts had sentenced the bows to
death in the electric chair. When
we began to read the Daily Worker.
We found that the International
Labor Defense had taken up this
lssue-the fight to save the lives of
these 9 boys, That made lis inter
