Icsn scientist who was the faith
Ier of. the modern electrical SUI

lpracticable the harnessing of
Niagara Falls, and whose re-

The author of this biography is
John J. O'Neill, Science Editor
lof the New York "Herald Tri-

in 1887 for his scientific writ
ling, and was a friend of Tesla's
for many years.
| Tesla, who died in 1943 at the
age Of 81 in comparative power
1ty, was born in the village of
Smiljan in Yugoslavia, and
came to America in 1884 to
work in the laboratories of
Thomas A. Edison. He made his
first million dollars when he
sold the rights of his polyphase
system of power transmission
(utilizing alternating instead of
direct current) to George West
inghouse. In subsequent years,
his inventions and discoveries
were covered by more than 100
patents. In 1898 in Madison
Square Garden he demonstra-
ted a boat operated by radio

mechanisms of today. In the
same exhibition he demonstra-
ted the first practical system of
wireless transmission, the foun-

Balkans Slated for Federation,
Slciss Paper Says

Washington. - 1T is gratify-

with which the Russians are be-

of the Balkans" the Swiss pa

which, in the long run, will be
the only guaranty of law and
order in the southest of the Eu-

Some observers claim that
this plan aims at Russian domi-
nation over the Balkans, but we
do not concur with this opin-
ion," the Swiss paper says.
For, to achieve this goal, Rus
sia would have to create weak
states which would depend on
her, and not a strong fedora
ton. The plan of a federation
of southern Slavs, as it appears
today, furthermore has been
the dream of the most idealis-
tic Balkan statesmen for a long
time. In Bulgaria, it was repre-
sented after the last war by her
liberal Premier Stambulinsky.
Similarly also the peasant
leaders of Croatia supported
this plan, which also had fol-
lowers in Serbia. Unfortunate
ly, however, the Greater-Serbi-
an nationalists succeeded in
bringing about solution which
differed from the dreams of
these men, because it practical
ly led to Greater-Serbian
hegemony over all Jugoslavia,
and made Macedonians as we'll

"The very fact that the Rus

Slavs indicates again that they
are aiming not at an unlimited
expansion toward the Mediter-

that, quite to the contrary,

HAVANA.-A 43-year-old lawyer with
q consistent record of support for the
United States has been nominated for
President of Cuba by a coalition of
parties representing about two thirds
of the registered voters, and his election
June 10 is virtually conceded.
He is lean, be-spectacled Carlos Sala-
drlgas, Cubas first Prime Minister from
October, 1910, until August, 1912
He left the cabinet in an amicable re-
shuff1ing, but continued grooming him.
self for the presidency. He is close to
President BatiSta, strong man of the
1888 revolution and behind-the-s
leader Of the nation from the fall Of
Machado until his own election in 1910.
Batista let it be known long ago that
he would step down next October, in
keeping with the constitution he spon-
sored, which limits a President to one
term. There has been talk that the
President will want another term eight
years hence, when he again will be
eligible, but with the f1W of tropical
politics, eight years and two presidential
terms cover long period.
Kinship With U. S.
The friendship of Batista and sala-
drigaS, an outgrowth of the revolution
Is almost matched by Saladrigas' ties
with American citizens here. He always
is welcome guest at the American En-
bassy and the American Club and can

Practically every inducement except
free set of dishes is being held out by
recruiting agents of the War Manpower
Commission to get more men and
women into war work.
With pockets full of referral cards,
these agents are taking the jobs to the
men these days. Neither the old type
medicine show nor the door-to door
techniques of the brush man have any
thing on the new methods.
These range from buttonholding peo-
pie on the street to dropping handbills
from airplanes and missionary work in

Sales talk ranges from employers
promises of pay in cash every Friday
night to mixed glee clubs, annual fish
ing affairs and time off for glamour in
the factory beauty shop.
Although VINO says war production
on the whole has leveled off, emphasis
on recruiting Is attributed to the neces-
sity of replacing workers going into the
armed forces, to build up the labor force
in expanding industries and war plants,
to replace turnover, to supply the large
need for seasonal workers and to take
care of men moving from one job to an
other in essential activity.

ever since.
A graduate of the University of
Havana, Saladrigas was an early affiliate
Of the secret revolutionary party "ABC."
For his part in this dangerous under
ground, he became Minister of State
and Justice in the cabinet of Dr. Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, who succeeded
Machado, and under President Carlos
Mendieta he was minister without port
foil and Minister of Justice.
Was Minister to Britain.
In 1856, Saladrigas held the priced
post of Cuban Minister to Great Britain,
relinquishing it to accept election to his
present seat in the Cuban Senate
Saladrigas appears the obvious choice
of Batista, but the chief executive os-
tensibly adopted hands-off policy to-
ward the nominations.
Himself a soldier without party,
Batista came to the presidency through
a coalition of the Liberal, Democratic,
ABC and Communist parties. (The
Communists now 60 under the name of

The larger parties, Liberal and Demo-

should put up the coalition nominee for
