March 7—A strike by Treasury Department employes precipitated a situation today which threatened to bring to bloody climax Cuba’s 19 months of political turmoil. Acting under its almost unlimited emergency powers, the government decided on stern suppression of disorders, fearing that the strike

would become general and turn into a revolution. Seamen from Cuba's little battle fleet reinforced soldiers and police in guarding all oentral areas. Tight censorship was clamped on Cuban newspapers. Troops took over Havana University where professors and students were in an all night meeting with labor leaders, presumably to continue their efforts to promote a generai strike.

out would be removed from the rolls. The army seemed firmly loyal to the president and his cabinet. Before their own meeting, cabinet members engaged in a 6’,2-hour meeting with all army officers above the rank of captain. The conference was held to discuss means to meet a strike or a rebellion. During the meeting Col. Fulgenico Batista, the power behind political figures struggling for power, warned that the army would use “the instruments at its disposal’’ to quell disorder. There was every indication that the long-deferred test of the government's strength was beginning. Major violence broke out at noon yesterday when four bombs were exploded In the customs house. One bomb burst in the treasury department. The port zone was cleared by troops. Six wounded were taken from the customs house and one from the treasury. A motor car careened through the midtown district and from it a hail of machine gun bullets riddled the automobile of Ramon Vasconcelos. liberal leader. He was wounded; one man in the car was killed and two others and a pedestrian were wounded.

Wesley Manville. local manager for Shell, said that the meeting probably would take place in about two weeks.
