revolution to evolution.
Equipped with another new presi-
dent, a new Congress and "constitu-
tional" government replacing the pro-
visional regime of the past three
years, the republic is eyeing social
and economic reforms.
The theory is that the nation should
60 to work, turn its mind to con-
structive thought and forget politics
for a time. To accomplish this the
embryo of an educational program,
TOO schools. and the nucleus of vast
back to the farm movement have
appeared.
Thus far the government makes no
claim to great achievement.
The coffee house politicians already
are speculating on change. President
Miguel Mariana Gomez had support
of a congressional coalition to win
election. Since he took Office, May Q

Fascist Charges Denied.
There are charges of Fascist ambi-
tions against the army, vigorously
denied. There are reports, also denied
of a split between the president and
the army-always fraught with danger
for a Cllhan government

The past offers no clue-except

Convinced the army Of $4,000 we'll

slapped down by revolution, some of
his enemies have sought support
within the army ranks. They have
had some success.
But Batista thinks the opposition

the responsibility for Cuba's future.
If he can re-establish his grip on
Congress, push forward a concerted
program and keep friendly with the
army all may be well. But if he fails
in any of these respects the future
may be uncomfortable and shaky. to
say the least.
His power in Congress now is mi
mute. He is bombarded with criticism,

ported his election.
And his problems are many: The

political prisoners; wide social re-
forms to aid workers without
hurting capital; public debts. includ-
ing $50 100000 in public works bonds
upon which payment of interest and
amortization is long past due; meeting
the governments current pay rolls
during low collection months: increas-
ing the governments income; taking
care of campaign obligations by dis
tributing patronage which he does not
control.
Independence Advocated.
Third in the triangle is Justo Luis
Del Pozo. president of the Senate. who
with other leaders in Congress en-
visions Cuba independent economi-
cally.
Del Pozo and his colleagues hope to
find new source of income other
than sugar, mainstay Of the Cuban
farmer
More people on farms. agricultural
schools, appropriation Of 5000 600
acres of idle land to be distributed to
the poor, and diversified crop sched-
ule comprise the plan.
Conservatives are aghast. Leftists
are jubilant.
But Del Pozo promises the path will
be middle one-advanced enough to
satisfy Leftists and conservative
enough for the Rightists. It is long
time plan. A generation at least will
be required, Del Pozo says, to realize
full benefits.
Both he and Batista agree that the
programs are designed to turn the
Cuban mind to constructive processes;
to keep it of Of revolution.

But the two plans are not co-ordi-

paula Goes Modern" Will be
Given Under the Direction
of Miss Mama Forbes.

The annual Senior Glass play, this
year entitled Paula Goes Modern will
be presented at the Washington Audit
orium on Thursday evening, May z, un-
der the direction of Miss Mama Forbes,
director of public speaking and drama
tics in the Ely High School.
paula Goes Modern" is a strictly
light comedy, but one which points a
creditable moral, dealing as it does with
problem which faces the great major
ity of our young married couples of the
present generation.
Paula Westbrooke, young wife and
mother, with firm ideas concerning a
woman's place in the world, envied her
friend, Sydney Howard because she is
independent and supports herself in
| the world of business. Her husband,
Leonard Westbrooke, who thinks he
wife's sphere in life has decided ideas
as to how home should be managed.
| His friend, Stanley Saunders, hand
some young devil, full of the joy of life
and with an enviable sense of humor
suggests a way to bring harmony into
domestic situation that is now some
what strained The suggestion, when
put into effect, creates many awkward
and laughable situations from which
the chief characters emerge completely
civilized, SO to speak.
In addition to the leads, there are
lseveral character parts which contri-
butte much to the working out of the
plot. Mrs Harper with a ''long dis
lance" mania, in love with Oswald hel
star boarder; Jim with his cleanup
special Miss Phelps from the "Per-
feet Portrait Studio" each plays a gem
part.
The cast, including some of the most
gifted members of the Senior Class, is
