Spanks, Clubs, Cane

Spankers Spanked. To seize and spank ladies of the Opposition who demonstrate on his front steps, Dictator Gerardo Machado has his own buxom, heavy-handed female spanking brigade. Last week these spankers were upended and themselves soundly spanked by Cuban students disguised as women.

Club v. Club. In Dictator Machado's favorite club, the Havana Union, a bomb was exploded last week, reputedly by sympathizers of the Havana Yacht Club which he padlocked (TIME, Jan. 19) when one of its members "snubbed" a member of his cabinet. A club which had extended courtesies to the ousted yachtsmen had its municipally-owned golf course taken away.

Sugar & Death. The penalty of Death for anyone caught burning sugar cane was decreed last week by the Machado government after anti-Machado vandals had burned 35,500,000 Ib. of cane in five days in the interior.
