MEND|ETA HELD
CAUSE OF STRIKE
Hopes of Revolution Against
MaChado Not Realized,
Buell. Says.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 18.-That the
recent strike and violence in Cuba
resulted from general disappointment
IN the Mendieta regime is the analysis
made by Raymond Leslie Buell.,
authority on Latin American affairs
and chairman of the Foreign Policy
Association Division on Cuban Affairs.
1.-THE fundamental cause of unrest
in Cuba today is the fact that the
hopes Of the revolution against Ma
chado have not been realized" Dr.
Buell. states in report to the Foreign
Policy Association.
lowing in part to the commercial
policy of the Roosevelt administration,
the economic situation in Cuba has
steadily improved, but many Cubans
fear that such improvement will
merely strengthen the old discredited
social system unless vigorous measures
of internal reconstruction are properly
carried out"
Fear Old Regime.
With the postponement of the date
for elections to a constitutional con-
vention until next August, DR.. Buell.
says fears are being aroused by the
proposal of the Mendieta government
to allow the old political parties which
had supported the Machado regime TO
participate. Opposition groups fear,
he explains, that the traditional party
machines may win the elections, be-
cause the "old politicians" control
many illiterate voters.
The strike, which originated with
the teachers and students of the island
and which spread to other organiza-
tions, took on political character, Dr.
Buell. says. He adds that its inten-
ton was to terminate the dominant
position occupied since the 1888 revo-
luton by the Cuban Army, COM
manded by Col. Batista, and to over
throw the provisional government
headed by Carlos Mendieta.
Dictatorship Seen.
"These groups" he says. speaking
of the striking organizations. insist
that the country has already dritted
back to the type of dictatorship which
existed under Machado and that the
hopes Of the people for a new Cuba
are being defrauded.
During the next few months a
desperate struggle may take place be-
tween three leading groups in Cuba
the first headed by Col BatiSta and
supported by conservative interests;
the second consisting of the A. B. c.
Society and the Autenticos, who ap-
parently are now united on a common
policy, and the third, composed of the
Communists. who advocate a dictator
ship of the proletariat."
He adds that the outcome may be
Influenced by the attitude of the
United States, and, quoting the State
Departments assurances of complete
neutrality, urges that this will really
be observed to give the Cuban people
complete freedom to work out their
destiny"

Eagles Trained.

The great golden eagle Of Chinese
Turkestan is trained to hunt, kill hare,
foxes and gazelles. When caught,
the eagle is confined to a dark room,
his eyelids sewn up and his spirit
broken by the incessant beating of
drums which allows of no sleep. Grad
ually the eagle becomes tanned and
wonderfully docile, attaching itself
like a dog to the man who feeds it
and takes 1t out hunting.

DEATH BALKS
ATTEMPTED
RESCUE
Negro Loses His Life in Vain
Effort to Save Richard
, And Margaret Kurn

Two white children drowned In
the Eastern branch of the Ana
costa River near the Corinthian
Yacht Club today and a colored
man lost his life trying to rescue
them.
The tragedy occurred when the
children, Margaret and Richard
Kurn, 10 and IA, respectively, OF
the 1900 block of First st. S. w.
were wading in the water, despite
the admonitions of H. Wilbur
Wibert, an employe of the Zelo
type Corporation, back of whose
shop the children entered the
water. He had warned them, he
said, that it was dangerous tc
60 in the water there.
Warning Ignored :
The children nevertheless waded
about 80 or 40 feet to the be-
ginning of the channel. where
there is a sharp drop in the river
bottom:
Getting over their depth, their
cries attracted Sterling Calhoun,
colored, about IS, of the 100 block
Of L st. S. W., who raced into the
water in a rescue attempt.
According to Robert Wingard,
IA, who lives on a houseboat near
the scene, the colored man who
was powerful swimmer, reached
the spot where the children had
gone down and dived for them.
Unable to locate the children, Cal
houn went back to shore and had
a woman call the police to notify
them of the tragedy.
Calhoun then went back into
the water and dived again in an
effort to find the bodies.
Wingard said the current at
that point is strong and the water
becomes suddenly deep.
When the colored man dived
down a second time he failed to
come to the surface. It was not
known whether he became ex-
hausted or struck his head on
something at the bottom.
Boys Body Not Found
Wingard said that he and AL
bert Seeley, who also lives on the
houseboat, began a search for the
bodies. They found that of Cal
noun and brought it to shore
where police and the rescue
squad failed to revive him.
Later, harbor police found the
body of the girl, and her mother
Mrs. Mary Kurn, became hyster
ical after she had identified it
Mr.. Wibert told police the chill
dren has asked his permission to
go in the water from the rear
of his shop. but that he refused
the request. He said they went
away and he thought they had
needed his advice. The next he
knew of them, he said, was when
he heard their cries in the water
Police are still dragging the
river for the body of the boy.

D. c. DIVORCE
BILL OK D

In a session that bristled with
tension, the House District Com
mittee today favorably reported
modified divorce bill, heard
charges of malfeasance in office
hurled against Corporation Coun-
sci E. Barrett Prettyman, and de-
cided to withhold action on the
Werner substitute crime report
for two weeks.
When the session opened today,
Representative Theodore B. Wer-
ner CD of South Dakota, moved
that his substitute for the con-
troversial crime report be adopted.
His minority, report announces
that there is no "crime wave" in
the District. that changes should
not be made in the police force,
and that the record of District
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett's office
do not show that he should be re-
moved from office.
A quorum could not be secured
today, however, and it was agreed
to postpone action for two weeks.

tion by Representative Dewey

TIVE s
HEALTH GOOD
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt was asked
direct question as to his health at
his press conference today. In re-
ply he put it straight up to his in
terviewer as to what he thought
about it.
The questioner replied:
"YOu look o. X. to me-"
The President replied that the
queStioner ought to be a pretty
good judge.
That's all there was to it. But
the episode opens to the public
the fact that the Presidents close
advisers are concerned about a
whispering campaign that has
spread widely throughout the East
which closely parallels a similar
campaign that was used against
the President before he was elected
and while he was in the heat of
the campaign.
Whispering Campaign
To those who see the President
and who consult with him, there
seems to be little basis for the.
claim that he is cracking up;
that he is in ill-health and de-
cidedly petulant.
In appearance he is cheerful,
optimistic and strong. The closest
he came to petulance at a press
conference was after the famous
NRA decision by the Surpeme
Court; he is quite likely to start
these conferC :ceS with a laugh
and maintain a cheerful attitude
to the end.
Men who will probably be near
the top of the next campaign
declare that the ill-health and
cracking up" rumor is a whisper.

FAILURE

Route to Baltimore, Claims
Peace Reigns in Love Cote

The honeymoon isn't over for
the Max BaerS. But even so, it's
all swell publicity, thinks Max.
The former heavyweight cham
pion of the world said that most
emphatically today as he swung
off an Eastern Air liner at Wash
ington Airport, his first visit to
the Capital since his spectacular
marriage to Mary Ellen Sullivan
here just II days ago.
Max scoffed at New York re-
ports that all is over. But he isn't
peeved about the stories, for, as
he pointed out, it gets the name
of Baer in the papers. And he
expounded the following philoso-
ply:
"I'lI only be mad when they
don't print my name. Then
I'll know I'm a has been.'"
Max loves his wife. He thinks
she's a grand girl" And he
doesn't love Mary Kirk Brown.
But he also thinks she's . grand
girl" ~

Furthermore, deposeth Max, he
didn't take Miss Brown to the
opening Of Jack Dempsey's Blue
Room last night. It must have
been two other fellows!
He did have dinner with Mary
and buy her a few drinks. But
what's wrong with that, asks
Max?
1t was in some New York spot
he doesn't even remember the
name-that he was sitting with
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Brien, he ex-
planned, when Miss Brown came
in. He said:
'I asked her to come to our
table and have a drink. There's
nothing wrong in that. We
are old friends. Then we all
had dinner together, and sat
there for, maybe, an hour and
a half.
"Then she went along and I
went over to DempSey's. Jack
has asked me to come to the
opening in the afternoon. I
rang up Mrs. Baer. and she
didn't feel like coming in. so
then / told her / would stay up
and go.

didn't mind a bit. You know,
she's a very understanding girl,

CLERIC SAYS
GOVERNOR IS
DISGRACE"
To FLAG
St. Croix Rector, in Affidavit,
Accuses Island Head of
Graft and Corruption
international News Service


Governor Paul Pearson, Of the
Virgin Islands, was called "a thief,
and hypocrite" today by the Rev.
E. G. Anson, of st. Paul's rectory.
st. Croix, before the special Sen
ate committee investigating Gov
ernor Pearson's administration.
In an affidavit signed by him,
and introduced as evidence, the
Rev. Mr.. Anson recommended
Governor Pearson's removal and
said he was a disgrace to the
American flag" The affidavit
said:
Governor Pearson has turned
out to be an awful liar, thief,
and hypOcrite. Not one prom
Use that he has made has been
carried out. He is a disgrace to
the American flag, and / can
not understand why he has
been allowed to disgrace the
people of the United States and
its possessions.
Governor Pearson and his
whole set of people should not
be allowed on the island"
CHARGES GRAFT
The Rev. Mr.. Anson told the
committee that Governor Pear.
son instituted a regime of graft
and corruption upon taking office.
He said:
There are few good, reliable
Americans here, but every man
that was not as crooked as he
was soon dispensed with"
The affidavit then stated that
thousands of dollars have been
spent on trucks, barges and other
equipment, but that Governor
Pearson has let them "go to ruin"
Mr.. Anson said also Governor
PearSon's administration had dis
rupted hospital facilities on the
Island of st. Croix. He said:
1--WE have to fight to keep
our hospitals, and we have one
splendid doctor and one that is
drunk half the time. But he
is the one that gets a car,
while the other poor fellow has
to walk"
Paul Yates, ousted assistant to
Governor Pearson, chief witness,
whose charges of "maladministra-
ton and graft" brought about the
investigation, told the committee
that on August IS, 1884, he wrote
Secretary of Interior Ickes telling
him that conditions on the island
put the Roosevelt Administration
at stake" but that Mr.. Ickes took
no action.
ASSailS Council
Mr.. Yates said Governor Pear.
sons closest friends on the island
were "reactionaries using their
friendship with the governor to ex-
plot the people of the island"
He said the chief offenders were
the four members of the Colonial
Council, and that they were all
large land owners"
