De Cespedes
Regime Falls
Without Shot
(Copyright, 1933. By The Associated Press.)
HAVANA Sept. 5. (AP) The government of Provisional President
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes. which succeeded the deposed Machado regime
leas than a month ago, resigned this afternoon and turned the relne
over to a revolutionary Junta representing radical students and army
non-commlssloned officers.
A commission of five men, named
by the extreme left wing radicals,
will rule Cuba.
The change In government waa ef
fected amid scenes of turbulent con
fusion but there was no bloodshed.
Disappointed and disillusioned, de
Cespedes left the presidential palace
after he had bowed to the opposition,
end returned to the home he left
twenty-four days ago to become the
chief executive.
Members of the de Cespedes coali
tion cabinet resigned In a body at a
conference In the presidential palace
at which the demands of the Junta
were presented. It waa understood
the president submitted no formal
resignation for himself, but merely
Indicated at the meeting he would
surrender hi office.
"It's all over," said Dr. Jose Manuel
Presno, secretary of sanitation under
de Cespedes. "We have turned our
government over to the revolutionary
Junta."
PLAN! PLEA SENT
E
Med ford' application for Recon
struction Finance corporation funds
for construction of two new units tp
the sewage systems, made some time
ago In compliance with the require
ments then demanded, baa been re
turned. City Superintendent Fred
Scheffel announced today, with In
structions Tor changes and modifica
tions, which will effect compliance
with the demands of "Circular No.
3," which expresses further restric
tion regarding receipt of federal
funds.
The application returned was ac
companied by a letter from C. 0.
Hockley, newly appointed state en
gineer for Oregon under the public
works administration. The letter
states that Medford's application and
report Is very complete but that It
does not conform In sequence to
"Circular No. a," which has been
added to the list of requirement.'
The modifications, Mr. Scheffel
stated, are of a legal nature for the
most part, and the Med ford applica
tion will probably be on Its way to
headquarters again within two weeks.
In the letter Engineer Hockley also
states that the wage scale accepted
for this region under the public
works administration provides for
payment of $1.20 per hour for skilled
labor and .50 cents per hour for un
skilled labor. The 30-hour week has
also been adopted for the projects.
This wage scale, Mr. Scheffel stated,
constitutes, an important Increase
over that previously in effect.
When operation of the public works
program waa first undertaken, each
state waa functioning separately.
They are now placed in districts, and
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho constitute one of them. The
district la headed by Marshall Dana
as administrator, and each state has
its engineer.
The organization recently set up
under the President, Mr. Scheffel
stated today, requires more Informa
tion regarding each project, accom
panying the application for funds,
More stringent rulings are being
adopted, inspired, It is believed, by
the tremendous sums asked In ap
plications which flowed Into head
quarters. Front this district alone
applications for seven hundred mil
lion dollsrs were filed, Mr. Scheffel
stated. It Is necessary, of course,
that the government refuse many of
the applications and a thorough check
on all is to be made.

This was the second time In a mat

Todays step was taken promptly

After the most thrilling golf battle
ever seen on the local course H. H.
(Hank) Pringle won the title of
southern Oregon champion yesterday.
when he defeated H. B. Bentley of
A' hi and 1 up on the 36th hole.
There have been other exciting and
hard fought contests for this coveted
honor. But never before a struggle,
where the final result waa in doubt
from the first to the last hole. It
u tnvmnn'ft tr.m until Bentlev
h, nr - hirHt a on the
OD to noifia. conwqrn juur to iiw
opponent, and thereby yielded the
crown to the Medford star.
No man ever fought harder for the
title than Pringle, or deserved the
victory more. Although he had Bent
ley three down on the first nine of
the morning round, when he shot a
34, two under par, with an eagle 8 on
the ninth (the hottest competitive
golf ever seen In this neck of the
woods) the Ashland warrior never
batted an eye, came back on the sec
ond nine, with a par on 10, a birdie
on 13, and at the end of the 18 holes
he had grabbed back 3 holes and waa
only one down.
But Bentley wasn't content with
this. He atarted out the afternoon
round with fire In his eye, and magic
tn his Irons, clicking off 6 straight
para and a btrdle on the 8th, enough
to break the morale of a Walter
Hagen. But what was Hank Pringle
doing meantime? He lost the third
hole and the watch was square; but
on the 4th he sunk a birdie 3, on the
6th a birdie 3, and against par golf
he waa 3 up agalnl
That Is the way It was all through ,
nip and tuck, neck and neck, one
man up then the other, but In the
final pinches, Bentley coming thru
with perfect golf, and Hank coming
through with golf that was super
perfect, meeting Bentley's pars with
birdies of his own. .

i. Now liko any good cause,
it'g nnturally going to have a
little gossip and whisperings
about it. So you Democrats
that are handing out the jobs
in Washington ort all this na
tional recovery program, don't
discriminate agr.inst the old
Republican.
This is a natural thing, and I
doubt if any country, rc-gard-less
of politics, ever in peace
time, entered into thing any
n o r e whole-heartedly, and
when Homebody good naturcdly
started the definition of NRA
(No Republicans Allowed) you
want to keep that a joke.
This thing is on a much high
er plane than handing out the
old post offices.
