HAVANA, May 2l.-Cuba's new
constitutional President, Miguel Mari
ano Gomez, directed the island re-
public today on course of major
governmental reforms, preferential
trade relations with the United States
and peaceful politics at home.
Six hours after his inauguration,
DR.. Gomez outlined his policies last
night in his first message to a special
session OF the Congress.
The Chief Executive, who was
elected January 10 to succeed Provis-
ional President Jose A. Barnet. said
his message did not constitute a
ritual" but embodied the recon-
mendations which Il understand to be
the legacy of the revolution"
Plans to Grant Amnesty.
President Gomez mentioned plans
for a general amnesty for prisoners
and exiles, but declared, 1T is neces-
sary that the morbid state Of cruel
insanity of killing each other shall
not return"
In the republics efforts to broaden
its markets on a reciprocal basis, the
47-year -old President said:
I'VE must give preference to rela-
tons based on the interchange OF
products among friendly countries in
this hemisphere and especially to our
great consumer, the North American
Union, which merits our gratitude in
SO many ways for its reiterated, his
toric acts of benefit and help through
out our existence as a rebellious COL
ony and as republic full of worries
and troubles
Dr. Gomez asked the Congress aid
in measures to effect equitable dlstri-
button OF public wealth, restoration OF
the republics credit, improvement Of
public health facilities, closer rela-
1ions between capital and labor, mod
ernization of codes and laws and re-
opening of Havana University.

Earnings Falling OFF.
The transit company is in the
seemingly paradoxical position of re-
ceiving increasingly more revenue, but
its net earnings are falling off. In
fact, for the first three months of
this year its books show a deficit of

The story of the company's unsatis-
factory financial position at this time
is shown in the following tables:

real good, for some of the later

don't buy new automobiles when
they're broke and starving, or may

and there is real feeling back Of
| he old situations, and occasional
shafts of worldly wisdom that
penetrate deep. Another racy re-
gional first novel is "Old Man
Greenlaw," by Kenneth Payson
Kempton. Again the story is SIM
pie and amounts to little, the char
acterization and setting is every
thing. The scene is a little run
down fishing village in Maine,
whose chief source of support is
summer artists. The latter are
mere back-drops, however, old
Mahlon Greenlaw, a garage keeper
being the principal figure, and the
story is about him and his family
and other natives. The humor is
of the authentic ornery Yankee
type, the dialogue (perhaps some
times raw to some tastes) easy
and never hard to understand.
Worth about two hours of ones af-
ternoon.

Well, vacations and political

hand nowadays. The people who
went on vacations are returning
worn-out and broke, and the de-

if they hadn't been allowed to do
just as they did do, so everybody
should be happy, return to work,

HABANK PAY

An appeal by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration that it be
allowed to use Government funds
to reimburse a score Of banking
institutions for alleged losses in
cooperating with its housing cam
paign was rejected by Comptroller
McCarl today.
The decision was based on the
fact that notes accepted by the
banking houses from the public
did not comply with the national
housing act, the salient factor be
ing that the banks attempted to
demand a rate of interest higher
than allowed by the law.
Federal Housing officials cited
an order signed August 20. 1885.
by former Administrator James A.
Moffett, which allows waving Of
FILA regulations by an admins
traitor where, in his opinion, the
purposes and aims Of the Federal
Housing Administration can be

or authority for such regulation,

COUNTY PLANS
TO DISBURSE
A|DFUNDS

ROCKVILLE, Nd, April IA
discussion Of the methods to be
employed In disbursing Mont
gomery county's share Of the ST.
800, 900 State direct relief fund,
provided for by the State legisla-
ture before adjournment last week,
Is expected to consume q portion
Of q meeting Of the board Of
county commissioners here today.
The relief bill stipulated that
the various counties may employ
any means they see fit in allo-
eating their respective shares Of
this relief fund, or II they so de-
sire, it may be placed in the gen.
eral tax fund and used through
these channels as q means Of re-
ducing the existing tax rate.
The latter use Of the fund ap-
pears very unlikely in Montgomery
county, Commissioner Paul M.
Coughlan declared today, since
the direct relief needs Of the
county are so great. Should the
commissioners devote the fund to
reducing the tax rate. the COM
missioner said, they would irnme-
diately need to add an additional
levy to raise a county relief fund.
While this relief money may
be expended through the present
county welfare board, which oper-
ates through the Board Of State
Aid and Charities, the county
appointed department Of public
welfare or create q new agency
for this purpose, it seems likely
the commissioners will elect to
employ the channels Of the
county department Of welfare for
Disbursement, Com miSsi on e r
Coughlan said.
At the present time three re-
lief agencies are mlnistering to
the wants Of the needy and UNI
employed; the county welfare
board, which disburseS Federal
and the greater portion Of State
funds: the county department Of
public welfare, which controls
the county welfare fund raised
through local taxation, and the
County Social Service League,
supported through private con-
tributions.
