Labor leaders who belong to President Grau's Auténtico (Cuban Revolutionary Party) stayed away from the Congress; so did independents. They called it illegal, because the Government commission appointed to check delegates' credentials had not finished its work. At week's end the anti-Communist forces tentatively scheduled a "legal Congress" for May 18, speculated on who would control the Confederation's treasury if there were rival officers. They wondered if this would force President Grau, who needs Communist support for his administration, to take a stand for or against his Red allies...
Reports that Auténtico (Cuban Revolutionary Party) leaders were trying to move in on the C.T.C. at its annual convention had sped Lombardo from his Mexico City home to Havana. He had hardly settled into his $24-a-day room in the swank Hotel Sevilla-Biltmore when he discovered how right those reports were. Waiters belonging to the Auténtico faction refused to serve him (but servants who followed their union's Communist leaders loyally made his bed). As the 2,000 pistol-packing, trigger-happy delegates (both Auténticos and Communists) jockeyed to get their...

...easygoing President Ramón Grau San Martin, himself an Auténtico, at last moving to oust his political allies, the Communists, from the C.T.C., thus curb them as a political party? Some Auténtico leaders thought so. If that happened, the C.T.C. would probably shed its C.T.A.L. connections and hook up with the A.F.L-sponsored, right-wing Inter-American Federation of Labor. But smooth, well-tailored Don Vicente, back in his Mexican penthouse office, said "our relations with Grau are still cordial; he believes, as ever, in the ideals of the C.T.A.L...
...election day last week was orderly, the polling apparently honest. The result was a smashing victory for President Ramón Grau San Martín's left-wing regime, his Auténtico Party and Communist supporters. Grau's man, Manuel Fernandez Supervielle, won Havana's mayorship, the island's No. 2 political job. Most of the island's 125 new mayors would also be Grau men. Apparently enough Grau legislative candidates won to give the President, for the first time, a majority in Congress...
