In NEW YORK
BY GEORGE ROSS

HAVANA - They don't let
you hold your camera on the
Pan-Americani Caribbean Cup
per-something aboat no aerial
photos of La Cabana and the
other waterfront fortresses,
which have been there since the
18th century and are certainly
no secret by now.
One of the first spots you see
in town is called the Bar La
Guardia.
The Bats for President

cuba's capitol is replica of
our own, and outside of it news
boys race up and down shrek
ing the names of the 20-odd pa
pers in town-twice the number
in New York.

DIZZY
Cables
Cubas cab drivers seem the
maddest in the world, you may
be surprised to learn. They buy
gasoline only when they get a
fare and then only enough to get
them to and from their destina-
ton.
Tourist trade is picking up
and top hotels, such as the Ma
cional, are filled. The gambling
ban in Miami and environs is
helping, and the town is throng-
ed with big bettors, or at least
big bettors by the current low
standards.
Everybody here is fond of re-
calling the Dance of the Mil
lions in the middle 1920's, when
sugar was sky high, and as much
as 100000 used to pass over
the tables some nights.
Havana is startling study in
contradictions-miles of luxuri-
Gus homes stretching away from
slums whose squalor has few
equals in the western world.
Denizens of the Havana Ma
drid, La Conga and La Martini
que in Manhattan may be aston
ished to learn that few Cubans
do the rhumba in public.
AMERICAN RUNS
ACE NIGHT SPOT
Most of the visiting firemen's
nightlife around here gravitates
about the Gran Casino Nacional,
which has been dubbed, aptly
enough, the Monte Carlo of the
Americas" The boniface of this
mammoth oasis is Ben Marden,
whose Riviera provides a strik-
ing sight across New York's
George Washington Bridge in
the spring and summer time.
Down here, he is in charge of
place equally collosal. for in
addition to spacious gaming
rooms, there is the plush restau-
rant-cafe with a floorshow that
vies with the most ambitious
ones on Broadway.
Not merely the visiting fire.
men, but the Cuban social set,
gather at Mr.. Marden's fun
place nightly and it all adds up
to fairly motley gathering.
But if you weren't aware of
the white linen attire and the
tropical cline at the Casino on
mid-February eve, and you
were intent upon the floorshow
only. the most provincial New
Yorker would feel right at home
there.

Non-P League Unit
Indorses Third Term
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., April 8.-Labor's
Non-Partisan League of New Jersey
last night disregarded the advice
of John L. Lewis. G. / o. chieftain.
by voting. 1T to 10l, for unqualified
Endorsement of President Roosevelt
for a third term.
The league was formed five years
ago with Mr.. Lewis sponsorship.
Mr.. Lewis had asked in letter
that the league follow "the same
policy taken by the c. I. o. National
Convention" The c. I. o. has been
non-committal about the third term,
while Mr.. Lewis has indicated his
opposition to it.
William ]. Carney, c. I. o. re-
gional director, led the opposition
to the resolution, vainly seeking to
have the league approve instead an
Endorsement qualified by eight con-
ditions.
The conditions to Endorsement
included keeping the United States
out of war, solution of unemploy-
ment, strengthening of the Wagner
Act, expansion of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, expansion of social
security and increased old-age hene-
Ats, passage of an adequate health
BILL" expansion of the housing pro-
gram and adjustment of taxation to
equalize the burden "of the wealthy
and the poor"

courage and determination. It

You may take this trout with

who know that the Waha prefers
the flies in harmony with its own
dusky blush sides.
Sometimes the angler will catch
some fine specimens as they feed
on the open reefs or as they rise
clear of the surface of the lake.
The middle of the summer is when
fishing is best.
These rather curious and inter-
estingly marked trout weigh about
3 pounds, though larger one have
been taken. The usual length is
from to 7 inches. 1t is said that

DETROIT. April 8-Two youths
accused Of twice using murder as
q short cut to profit retraced for
police today the steps which may
lead them to life behind prison
bars.
John Kasap, %, and John Kur-
Eawa. 81, told in detail last night,
Assistant Prosecutor William E.
Dowling said, how they killed two
men for the profits to be realized
from selling their automobiles.
Murder charges were to be filed
against both for the slayings of
Dorsey E. Bowman, IS, a railway
fireman, and Philip G. Loyst, "a, a
garage mechanic. Life imprison-
ment is the maximum penalty for
murder in Michigan.
Confessions Tally.
Mr.. Bowling, who said the two
confessions conceded with each
other in all details, kept secret the
full account of Mr.. Bowman's
death.
There may be others who had
guilty knowledge of the crimes"
Mr.. Bowling said, land there may
be other crimes in connection with
the ones now solved"
In each instance, the victim was
taken unsuspectingly to "buyer"
for his automobile. On February
IL, Mr.. Bowman was slain-shot
twice in the back-at Kasaps home.
The family was away.
The killers burned Mr.. Bowman's
body on a dump in an effort to pre-
vent Identification.
Mr.. Loyst was shot twice in the
back and once in the head Feb
ruary 26 while he lay almost naked
in the basement of a house rented
by Kasap. Then he was buried
there.
Title Papers Forged.
The next step in each case was the
sale of the victims car, through
forged title papers, Mr.. Bowling
said. For Mr. Bowman's car, Mr..
Dowling said, Kasap and Kurzawa
received $375. Mr.. Loyst's brought
$685..
With the money, the prosecutor
said, Kasap and Kurzawa bought
clothes and furnishings for the East
Side house where Mr.. Loyst was
killed.
1t was Kasap's failure to meet
rent bill while he was in Jail as a
suspect that ultimately broke" the
case. A real estate agents identi-
fication of him as the renter led
police to the house and the dis
covery Of Mr.. Loyst's body.
