General Winship, retired U S Army officer and Puerto Rico governor since February 5, 1934, confronts ongoing labor unrest and Nationalist disturbances. The era's most serious event was the February 24 1936 slaying of Insular Police Chief E Francis Riggs by two Nationalists in San Juan. Riggs was a Yale graduate from a prominent Washington Maryland family and was unarmed in an automobile during the attack.
