HAVANNA, March l.-Fri-dayj-flThe
political organiza
tions opposed to President Carlos
Mendieta early today consolidat
ed their forces and designated
Dr. Jose A. Presno, rector of Ha
r'iii'a university, to' bead a "semi
parliamentary government i n
case Mendieta resigns."
The organizations which join
ed In the move were the ABC and
Autentleos societies and the fol
lowers of Mario G. Menocal,
prominent anti-governmeni lead
er. ' The merger was considered the
most sensational move in Cuban
poUtlcs , since the presidency of
Gerardo Machado as the three
groups have never been friendly.
The ABC society led the spec
tacular revolt against the Auten
tlcos lri November, 1933, at the
time when the latter organization
exercised control .over the gov
ernment with Gran San Martin as

HAVANA, Feb. S 8. -President
Carlos Mendieta lashed out
at striking students and school
teachers today with the charge
that their movement was "polit
ical, communistic and revolution-
nr." . i
His cabinet riddled by five res
ignations In the face of the strike,
which claims over 300,000 adher
ents, Mendieta: denounced leaders
of the movement who seek Mendi
eta 'g overthrow.
; The government, " Men Jieta
warned, is "maintaining, an atti
tude 'of watchfulness" and "th4
authorities will take necessary
measures" to halt any disorders.
As Colonel FulgenciA -Bati,
army commander-in-chief,' con
ferred with his provincial com
manders presumably as to pre
cautionary measures to stem the
growing strike threat, Mendieta
charged the strikers with know
ing "they have no legal and leg
itimate claim."
( A political movement, he as
serted, is disguised "behind the

Post came to New York to
night to discuss with associates
the abrupt ending last Friday of
his transcontinental flight at

engine.
Post declined to discuss an in
vestigation of the tampering
the placing of nearly two pounds
of steel filings and powdered em
ery fn the engine of the "Winnie
Mae."
He expressed deeper'interest in
why it was done than In learn
ing "who did It, but said he had
not suggested a federal investi

. The Winnie Mae's engine over
heated, forcing Post down in the
desert east of Los Angeles ah
hoar after he had begun a dash
attempting a new transcontinent

At Los Angeles, J. E. Read of

might be made to "see what it's

complaint had been made to his
office.
i Post's technical adviser, ' Bill
Parker, was quoted as saying he
had "no doubt" the foreign sub
stance was placed in the plane de

Ways and Means Group Will
Let Matter Rest; Seeks
Compromise, Report .
Maintaining a sphinx-like re
serve, the Joint way and means
committee of the legislature oat
guessed the progyiosticators last
night and did nothing whatever
with the controversial matter of
stats salary increases. -
While the committee Tuesdan
night adopted a report restoring1
to state workers 50 per cent of
their salary cuts of 1933-1934,
the preparation of the actual res
toration bill has not been begun
in committee.
After the meeting, certain .com
mittee members commented that
the ways and means group wished
to avoid a fight with Governor
Martin over the salary issue and
had decided to let the matter rest
for a few days.
It was reported on good author
ity at the capital, that overtures
were being made between the gov
ernor and ways and means com
mittee members looking towards
agreement on a 25 per cent res
toration of the salary cuts.
Some members of the commit
tee, who refused to be quoted.
raid they were as firm in their
belief as ever that state workers
were entitled to the advances
voted. They denied that there hd
been any agreement whatever
with Governor Martin not to vote
the increases.
The governor's office yesterday
had nothing more to say on the
salary question. Favorable com
ment to Governor Martin's stand
that the state could not stand any
advances in 6tate wages In 1935
1936 was said to be coming in
from various parts of the state.

SPECIAL COUNSEL
E
Dean Walker's Plan Given
Unanimous Senate Vote;
Governor Favors
Unanimous senate approval
yesterday sent to the house Sen
ator Walker's bill providing a
method for the employment of
special counsel for state depart
ments. Tbe measure passed by
the upper house, Walker explain'
ed, was a compromise plan pre
ferred by the administration over
similar bills introduced earlier in
the session.
Under the Walker) bill a state
department desiring to employ
special counsel would place the
request before the attorney gen
eral. The attorney general and
department head would then at
tempt to agree upon a selection
and the , amount of the fee to be
paid.
In case this was futile the gov
ernor would be called in as an
arbiter.
The Walker bill also provides
that the names of all special at
torneys and the amount of fees
paid shall be punished annually
Hazlett said this measure
would safeguard the funds of the
state and at tbe same time make
impossible to employ outside law
yers in highly technical litiga
tion.
Records recently placed before
the legislature showed that' large
amounts of money had been paid
for special attorneys daring the
past four years.
Governor Martin requested
early in the legislature that this
practice be abandoned.

Several empty containers were

with Holmes on the bench for
more than a decade, said be was
resting better today than yester

a few days. . .
His physician, Dr. Thomas A.
Claytor, merely said:
"The Justice is III and at his
age all illness is serious."
Emerging from the Holmes
residence Just before 8:30 to

patient's condition was "unchang

tor said. "That's all I can say."
Dr. Claytor said he did not
plan to return to his patient to

Announcement of the suspen

The administration insisted this
