REVOLT IN VENEZUELA
STUDENTS LYNCH POLICE ANTI-AMERICAN OUTBURSTS ("Sydney Sun” Service.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) NEW YORK, March 9. Venezuela was shaken by a revolution in which twenty were killed, including six policemen, reported lynched by unruly students. The Caracas newspaper, “El Universal,” has been temporarily suppressed. The trouble started when a paradd of four hundred students marched shouting: “Down with the tyrant Gomez.”
The President’s brother, Eusticino Gomez, seized control of the army and police, and dispersed ,the meetings with 'machine guns.
The French Minister, who attempted to mediate, was ordered to leave the country. The chief complaint at the students’ meeting was against the United States’ aggression in Nicaragua, and the denouncement of the New York syndicate’s exploitation of Maracaibo’s oil resources.
