Cool and grim. an unmasked

daring holdups of two Safeway
stores on opposite sides of the

An undetermined amount of
cash and about 1870 in checks
was the loot obtained from the
South Tacoma branch.
Since the days receipts had
just been locked in the safe for
the night, the bandit gained
nothing in his endeavors at the

THE WAR TODAY

Tranquility of the western
hemisphere was disturb d
Tuesday by an attempted
revolutionary coup in Cuba,
a central link in the defense
system of the Americas.
The Cuban outbreak apparently
was nipped in the bud by drastic
measures taken by President Full
gencio Batista. who today seemed
10 be in full control of the situa-
ton.
The Cuban crisis arose as:
Japan's Foreign Minister
Yosuke Matsuoka again en-
phasized his country's hopes
of remaining at peace with the
United States despite threat
ening Japanese moves toward
the South Pacific.
Pierre Laval. ousted French vice
premier, seemed to be on the road
to power in France again and was
expected TO come back to the gov
eminent TO handle collaboration"
with Germany, ending the long
Franco-German deadlock.
British forces I'm Africa
drove deeper into Italian Fri
trea in pursuit of retreating
Italians. Immediate goal Of
the British is Asmara. capital
of the colony.
The trouble in Cuba appeared to
center over Batista's program for
clipping the wings of the strong
army and navy factions and plac-
ing the country under a thorough
ly trained civilian administration.
Resentful military officers
challenged Batiata's authority.
but the Cuban president, who
originally came to power by
strong handed methods, out
maneuvered his opponents and.
after arresting the head Of
Cuba's army and navy, and
dismissing the chief Of police,
today appeared TO be in firm
control. He placed heavy
guards around public buildings,
drastically reorganized the
army command, and suspended
constitutional liberties for Is
days.

Federal Land bank, created
to implement the federal
farm loan system set up in
1917, withdrew from the

Navy to Censor
U-Boot SinkinQs

WASHINGTON. Oct. % CUPD -
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
said today that the U. s. Navy
may follow the policy Of the British
and not announce sinkingS of any
German submarines that are des-
troyed by U. S. forces.
One objective of such secrecy
would be to damage morale of the
German navy by keeping it guess
ing as to just what happened to
submarines that failed to return.
Knox told a press conference that
the navy would be guided "as any
other belligerent" in determining
whether to announce U-Boat sink
ingS. He made the observation
when questioned by reporters about
rumorS that submarines already
have been sunk in the north Allan
tic by the u. S. navy.
Great Britain has been in the
war a long time. combating sub
marines, but you have not read
about many of them being sunk" he
said. obviously, there have been
a lot sunk
Knox said that any actions be-
tween the fleet and German surface
raiders would be made public.
Asked if his explanation means
that, there will be nc-announce-
ments regarding German subma-
rineS. Knox replied:
