CUBA BARS NEWS OF HOUSE ATTACK Censorship of All U. S. Papers and Magazines Fails to Stop Rumors. By the Assoclated Press. HAVANA, January 13.—Rigid censor- fln: on all United States newspapers and magazines today prevented appear- ance of reports of tHs attack resterday in the United States Congress on the Havana Government. | But this did not prevent news spread- ing quickly of the resolution charging Cuba has been governed by a dictator- ship “of fear, force and violence.," in- troduced in Congress by Representative Fish. Censorship continued on Cuban pub- Heations, Student Is Killed, Persons sympathetic with opposition | to the Government of President Ma- chado were pleased by the Washington action and in some quarters a connec~ tion was seen between the resolution | and President-elect Roosevelt's confer- ence this week with Secretary of State, Stimson, Others saw a connection between the , resolution and United States Ambassa- dor Guggenheim's unofficial action last week when he askted the Government for guarantees for Angel Alvarez, a stu- dent arrested on a charre of terrorism Alvarez was shot and killed a few hourr after the Ambassador acted. Policn 2aid he was shot when he attempted tit escape. | Some commentators assert. that the | opposition, despairing of a successful revolution after the abortive attemp’ in August, 1931, has determined to pro~ voke American intervention. Accord- ing to these sources, the recent out- burst of terrorism. which has resulted in the deaths of several government ard police officials, is part of that campaigh. Peace Mcve Scorned. Last November the government éx- tenc-d the olive branch to the opposi- tion. inviting exiles back home and free- inr nany political prisoners. The op- T-sition turned its back on this “‘cam- | Faign of cordiality.” | “Machado must go,” said Col. Carlos | Mendieta, one of the leaders of the | 1931 mevement, when he was freed | from )ail. “He must be succeeded by a provisional government composed of m°n completely dissociated from | Ppolitics.” | Other oppositionists took a similar | View. Manuel Nunez. proprietor of the | Diamond News Agency, which distrib- | utes mest of the United States publi- cations received here, said toda; that police searched his place of business | Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and | found nothing. Last night. he said, he rectived a police order directing him to submit to the board of military censors one copy of every newspaper #nd magezine he received. Distribu- | tion of these publications. according to Nunez. is forbidden until the censor gives his approval. ASKS U| S. INTERVENTION. | Fish Seeks Drastic Action if Necessary to Restore Cuban Rights. By the Associated Press. Charging the Cuban government with instigation of “innumerable murders of political opponents.” Representative Hamilton Fish of New York, in a resolu- | tion introduced in the House yesterday, called upon President Hoover:to exert | his influence to restore civil rights in’| the island. If the influence of the United States fails of this aim, Pish declared in ex- P! his resolution, “then we should and must intervene under our treaty commitments.” “For the present,” he said, “I an-) ticipate that an offer of mediation by the United States and a firm insistence on the restoration of the civil rights and’liberties of the Cuban people will be sufficient. * * * The Feteral Gov- ernment has been exceedingly patient, in view of the suppression of the lib- erties of the Cuban Eopk by the Machado dictatorship, not remon- strating against the serious situation that has developed in that republic.

Cuba ‘adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty,’ in accordance with the treaty of independ- ence, containing the Platt amendment.” In his accompanying statement, Fish said the new censorship placed by the chief of staff of the Cuban army on American-owned newspapers and mag- azines was invoked to vent criticism of the Machado regime. “The military censorship,” he con- tinued, “strictly forbids any mention of police activities, assassination and po- litical disturbances or -political arrests and prisoners in the Cuban papers.” MENOCAL 1S “INTERESTED.” Exiled Cuban Leader Affirms Charge of Treaty Violation.
