The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-19

One of the ablest men in the career service, Caffery went to Cuba at Q time of internal chaos, and decided to support then one man who seemed capable of iri1- posing law and order. At that time, Batista had shown no ter- roristic potentialities and seemed to be the man.
 Batista On Way Out
 Since then Caffrey has become 50 identified with Batista in the Cuban mind that 1t is tantamount to official American support. In the opinion of Roosevelt's advis- CTS, this implied support has pre- vented other army leaders from throwing out Batista, installing Q new chief of staff.
 For e long time the State De- partment has wanted to transfer Caffery, had no place else to send him, Terrorism in Cuba took sec. ond place after Cafferys career. But now, he will be given long vacation.
 During that time, 1t will be made clear that President Gomez has official American support in becoming their real ruler and in plotting out terrorism.
 Soviet Flag
 On the day the Red flag of Soviet Russia was Haunted from the flagpole of the Supreme Court, Russian Ambassador Troyanovsky was dining at the home of Mau- rice Speiser in Philadelphia.
 Peppcfed with questions as to who perpetrated the joke, Troy anovsky would only answer: Its very amusing"
 I'inally,, however. he broke down.
 "WeIl, cOnfidentlalIy," he said, q think 1t must have been the Daughters of the American Revolution"
 NOTE-Russian newsmen in Washington cabled no reports of the flag incident to the Moscow press, feared 1t might be nlisuli- derstood, cause serious repercus- sionS.
 Friendly Advice
 Mrs. Roosevelt recently received 0 letter from Q young lady ask- ing for advice on how to "get into politics." The writer explained that she had not decided as yet just what office she wanted to run for, but thought that being c U. s. senator would be "nice".
 Mrs. Roosevelt answered the let- ter, said she strongly favored woe men entering politics, thought her young correspondent would stand Q better chance of success if she started at the bottom of the lad- der instead of the top. Mrs. Roose- welt then concluded with this bit of advice:
 "I would also suggest that be-
 fore you seek public office you acquire another business or pre-
 fesslOn on which you can fall
 back i'm the event you do not realize your political ambitions.
 There is stiIl another advantage
 fin this. Those in public life who
 have other resources beside their
 government salary can afford to
 be more independent"
 Later, Mrs. Roosevelt explained to friends that while residing in Albany, N. Y., when her husband wes governor of the state, legisla- tors entirely dependent upon their elective jobs for Q livelihood were more easily intimidated or tempt ed by pressure groups than those who had other means of Income.
