Junta Largely Profesional The committeé controlling the! i government is composed of men! whose professions are largely rep-: jresented in the ABC. Guillermo’ Portela and Dr. Ramon Grau San ;Martin are college professors, ' while Porforio Franco is a bank- er. Jose Irizarri is a lawyer, al-' though his claim for sympathy of the ORRC might be based on his! fostering of the land divisions plan. Sergio Carbo, young edi-' jtor, is spoken of as an extremely! |powerful dark horse leader who} might succeed eventually as head) of a new regime. Communists apparently have gained some influence, but it i believed that if they became too powerful they would be opposed by the military. Cooperate With Youth Movements Of the older generation of po- litical powers, the Nacionalistas headed by Carlos Mendieta, and the Menocalistas, headed by for- mer President Carlos Menocal, are ;most important. However, they ‘have been, to a certain extent, co- operating with such youth move- ments as the ABC, ORRC and OCCR (a recently formed student party). One thing stands clear in the uprising of these new politital powers—they have been largely supported by students and scldiers. The new Cuba apparently is des-! tined to be a product of the youth movement, j PIAL LDL OLA GET PAY SATURDAY THE STARTING DATE for Patricia Wentworth's New Serial Outrageous Fortune Excitement—A dventure—Romance THE CITIZEN "Pa Pa Daa aa: ,ed Sheriff K.
