Recognition by the United States of the Mendieta government in Cuba probably marks the end of the political turnovers in the turbulent isle that started with the ousting of President Machado on August 12. Dr. Carlos de Cespedes, succeeding the dictator, held office until September 5 when he was turned out by the coup which placed Dr. Ramon Gras San Martin in the presidency... Grau's re- gime ended January 15 when Carlos Hevia succeeded him. Hevia held office June 16 hours, being replaced by Col. Carlbs Mendiela, veteran leader and popular choice.
