AGAINST MACHADO IN 1931 (By Associated Press) HAVANA, Jan. 15.—Carlos Hevia, secretary of agriculture, was named president of Cuba today. The appointment was made by the revolutionary junta, leaders of the revolutionary government which placed Ramon Grau San Martin in power several weeks ago. Grau tendered his resignation last night. Carlos Mendieta, national leader, was regarded as another possible choice for the president, and the junta re- mained deadlocked nearly’ 24 hours over the selection of a new chief executive of the nation. Mendieta ap- proved Hevia’s appointment. Shortly before, the announcement was made that Cuba had a new president, troops, at Camp Columbia suddenly were asseiabled and four three-inch field pieces were mounted at strategic places. An expectant but undemonstrative crowd of sev- eral gathered at the presidential palace and throngs of curious also gathered at naval headquarters where sandbag barricades had been erected. Hevia is the only Cuban ever to graduate from the United States naval academy. For that reason he commanded the revolution- ary expedition against former President Machado which landed in August, 1931, only to be bottled up promptly by Machado’s troops. He was imprisoned and exiled to the United States, tah cements after the overthrow of Machado. UNEMPLOYED T0 TO GIVELECTURE HOLD MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT MASS ASSEMBLAGE AT COUN.
