"He was pretty rusty, and he knew I was the man to help him," Ben said. "I was happy to, always happy to do anything for the Rogers family." Now Ben rides to work with Will Jr. every morning, and between scenes they get off in a roomy corner of the sound stage and do the Texas-hop, the rollover and all the other difficult roping tricks for which Will Sr. was famous.

"There's a house near the club," a Scotsman told me, last time I was at the Country Club," that gives you a shudder every time you look at it. A Cuban and his wife lived In it. The opposing political party made a call on him, one day. They were not very good shots because the entire house is scarred with bullet holes. Finally, the hunted man decided to face it out.

He came out of the door holding a white flag, made of napkin. As they started shootings at him, his, wife leaped in front of him to protect him. So they shot and killed both. That was years ago. The investigation is still on they're very dead, indeed just as dead as the "investigation." When I was in Cuba, some weeks back, the general feeling was that Batista could not win "against Agramonte and Carlos Hevia.

The posters of these two were all over the city, most of them defaced by the rival party with buckets of red ink and buckets of black ink. Batista's coup would solve the speculation of winning in the June 1 elections. In Cubs, possession is not 910ths of the law. It IS the law. Year after year, the Cuban politicians loot the national treasury.

Preceding each election, the party, in power starts a great public works campaign. Generally, it takes the form of new roads or new public buildings. Gangs of laborers, each able to cast a vote, are put to work. The day after election, of course, the work is called off, because the ballots have been cast. Some roads In Cuba have been In the building stage, for 20 years and construction ol them is resumed before each election.

If theparty in power loses, the losers go to Miami or Europe and live in the grand style of Indian maharajahs. They buy Miami real estate, they build hotels, they bet $5000 a race at Hialeah, they give chorines diamonds and minks. Cuba, for all of its tropical appeal, always has been as grim to this reporter as the gaunt, forbidding Morro Castle. There is no natural gaiety to the country, only the labored gaiety of tourists guzzling Cuban drinks in the night clubs and restaurants. Even the history reminders are grim.

In the harbor, the battleship Maine was sunk. Hotels along the magnificent ocean drive have been pelted with machine gun bullets during periodic political flareups. Brokendown horses race at the track. The only non-sinister things in Havana are the Country Club and the outdoor night clubs, not part of the national revolver range. The chief of police of a Havana suburb, a wealthy suburb, was congratulated by an American businessman on the almost complete lack of burglars.

"I tell my men of couple of things," said the chief. "It they see suspicious character in their they shoot to kill. They then go back to the police station and carefully clean their guns, but make no report of a killing. The next day, they report finding an unidentified dead man, slain by a person or persons unknown. This saves everybody a great deal of paperwork and it keeps burglars away."
