Father or Youth Is
 Sent Threat Letter
(Continued from .Page 1)

from here yesterday.
 At press time there had been no verification received of the writing actually being Crows, but at tempts to find this out definitely were being sought so that they could be checked with the letter received this afternoon.
 State Troopers O'Toole and Scwartz. on duty at the Yuskis home when the letter was re- ceived, notified Lieut. William Schatzman of it's receipt this af- ternoon. The lieutenant was ex- pected in .Wolcott before o'clock to carry or the investigation. No Trace of Him
 | Persistent searches through the Wolcott forests again today failed
 to show any traces of John Crow,
 slayer of two men, although he was
 sighted and positively identified by a neighbor, Mrs B. B. French, nea:
 her home yesterday afternoon. The
 general vicinity of the section
 where Mrs French saw him was
 the center of paost of today's hunt. | This sector is somewhat south of | the vicinity where it had been be- | lieved the killer was in hiding. Sighting of Crow by Mrs French
 had state police further convinced | today that Crow has a hideout in the dense forest, where he has
 been making his headquarters since June 24th, the day when he | killed Clarence Yuskis and Julius {! Karvauskas at the Yuskis farm. First Sight of Slayer Yesterday was the first time that there has been sight of Crow by anyone who had actually known him personally. Mrs French, whose property is just a short distance below the fugitive's, has known Crow for years and she says that she could not be mistaken in her Identification of the murderer. Efforts to secure bloodhounds to track down the killer were again unavailing to-day. Ones in this state will not be let out for man. hunting purpose, while the ones which were brought here from New Jersey the day after the kill | ings are now working on another case. State police are still in hopes that hounds can be secured, but it is felt that they will be of little use after to-day unless Crow is sighted again meanwhile so that l SAANt V io c SoiiiPdi 0liNcly 1IGSH ITdll. More than ever now, the killer has assumed the aspect of a phan- tom roaming safely through the dense woods while troopers and constables go by him on all sides Actual traces of Crows presence in the woods number only two or three concrete pieces of evidence. Most important of all, apparently, is the khaki shirt, found in the rear of the shack this morning af- ter Crow had escaped again after being fired at by a state trooper. The shirt had not been there the | day previous.
 Hideout Somewhere Somewhere in the woods, it is | believed, Crow has hideout, either one in which he took refuge impul- sively or one which he had built cunningly before the shootings. Mrs French, like Trooper O'Toole, re- ports that Crow was clean shaven. making it seem that he has some hidden headquarters.
 | Crows gun or guns have not
 been found, nor has investigation shown yet where the man keeps his clothing. Police say it is hard to be- lieve that the killer could make his
 home in such a rude and filthy
 hovel such as the shack was.

be the work of perverted prac- tical jaker. It is being closely in- vestigated just the same in view of the fact that all of Crows actions have been almost inexplicable.
 Among Other Letters
 Several letters were delivered to the Yuskis home early sthis after noon and they wer opened as a matter of routine by members of the family. Troopers outside then heard excited shouts and rushed inside. where they were shown the com munication.
 George Yuskis is believed to be the one against whom Crow had a grievance, real or fancied, possibly based on Yuskis' placing of pig pens near Crows property. It was believed at the time of the mur- ders that the bombs found in the killers car were to have been used to blow up the Yuskis home.
 Letter May Be Fake
 If the letter should be the work of would-be humorist, police plan to prosecute the sender. It is against the federal laws to send threatening letters through the mail, even if they are "only in fun'. The Waterbury post office will be checked in an attempt to find where the letter was mailed

 That there is a fiuctuation in the volume of business at this time Is true, MT Goss said, hence the es- tablishment of a minimum week in some departments. There was an unusual boom. due to speculative business conditions, last summer. It is wrong, he said, to compare the trend of business, therefore. this year with that of a year ago.

 Last June, July and August were big business months. But outside of last year the seasonal trend h business for the summer months in the brass business has been in. terrupted.

MILK STRIKE

South Bend, Ind. July 13.-(UP) Delivery of milk to almost 120,- 900 people in Northern Indiana was halted today by strike of South Bend and Mishawaka dairy employees.
 D rivers of milk wagons and in side employees struck at midnight after operators of IS dairy plants adjourned an earlier meeting with out answering demands for union recognition, a $20 minimum weekly wage and a 6-day week.
 Tickets who rushed to every plant in the district. They were joined by union employees of the Studebaker Motors Corporation, the Bendix Products Corporation. and street car operators. Leaders of the strikers asserted the walkout was 100 per cent ef- fective. Not single milk wagon strike leaders said moved in South Bend or Mishawaka today, either to stores or homes.
 City authorities prepared hastily to prevent violence.
 The strike was seen as the first important test of recently enact- ed state law prohibiting interfer- ence with delivery or production of commodities defined as public necessities. Milk was specifically protected in the act.

 The longshoremen demand union recognition and control of halls where they are hired for individ- ual jobs. If shipping interests grant those demands it was be- lieved the threatening storm would subside.
 PREPARE FOR VIOLENCE Minneapolis, July 13.-(UP)-Six thousand truck drivers and their fighting women prepared feverish- ly today for the warfare of vio- lent strike, undeterred by threats of martial law and the denuncia- tions of their own union officials.
 Minneapolis union leaders said orders for a walkout at midnight Monday, halting transportation of food supplies and other necessities, would not be affected by refusal of the St Paul Drivers union last night to strike simultaneously.
 We're going out" said William Brown, president of the General Drivers and Helpers union, "and we're going to stop every truck in the city. Within a week we'll have general strike behind us."
 Chief of Police Michael Johan- nes, ordering his eptire staff of plain clothes men into uniform, is- sued militant def to the union.
 Streets are going to be open for anybody that cares to use them." he said. "The minute the strike is called we're going to ask for na- tional guardsmen and martial law"
 Women Answer Chief
 Women members of the union auxiliary replied by organizing a field hospital, purchasing bandages and medical supplies and enlisting physicians and nurses in volun- teer first aid corps.
 Army cots and blankets were liled in a storeroom where wives and sweethearts of the drivers reg istered for service and received in- struction in elementary treatments for bruises, cuts and bullet wounds.
 Miles Dunn, secretary of the Minneapolis union, revealed at mass meeting of St Paul drivers last night that the charter of his local union 574 has been cancelled by officers of the international union at Indianapolis.
 "They call this wildcat strike" Dunn said. wen show them what a wildcat is."
 St Paul drivers voted against a proposal to strike Monday in a meeting that assumed the propor- tions of a riot at times.
 Truck operators remained adam ant in refusal to recognize union jurisdiction over workers inside warehouse and elevators, which union leaders contend was granted in the agreement which ended the May strike.

TEACHES
LESSON To
GOLFERS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
There are several members at
the Indian Spring Club whose
purses are depleted today-and
all because they unwittingly per-
mitted an IS shooter to partici-
pate in their syndicate golf game.
It so happens that these men,
berS are mid-70 shooters and,
upon occasions, equal or better
par. Indeed, one member Of
the golfing party was George
Diffenbaugh, the club pro.
The man responsible for their
misery is William R. Stone and
his victims are Sam Rice, Earl
McAleer, DR.. Larry S. Otell and
Diffenbaugh.
Reluctantly Accepted
These latter four started out
the other day and, as they
marched to the first tee, were
hailed by Stone, who asked if
they would permit him to join.
They were reluctant at first,
thinking that perhaps Stone
wouldn't care to take part in
the syndicate" Yet, Stone was
dead game. so he was allowed
to come along.
But, alas, Mr.. Stone won all
the syndicates. And that ex-
plains the moaning at Indian
Spring.
Diffenbaugh gained some meas
ure of comfort through birdie
on the tenth hole in another
match with Roger Peacock, Nc
Aleer and Stone. Striding to
his ball after failing to reach
the green with his second, George
remarked:
'TIl just drop this one in to
make you guys suffer"
And he made good his threat.

There's nothing new to the
sphere as far as the casual eye
can see, but baseball men in the
know will tell you there's plenty.
That is, there's plenty as far as
the National .LeaguerS are con-
cerned, as the ball is quite differ
ent from the one they used last
year.
Yarns have already been spun
about the exact makeup Of what
the uniform sphere for both
leagues will be this season, and
one must admit that there's just
as much yarn, of not more than
that, underneath that new cover.
Still Round
Oh, sure, the ball is sti1l round.
II it wasn't it would be swell news
to rave over. Particularly if the
darned thing was square, oblong
or angular.
But it's new and President Clark
Griffith is showing it today to all
those who would sit it up on his
desk to admire it.
In reality, the ball is the same,
with one or two slight exceptions,
as was used by American League
teams in 1888. One Of the excep-
tions is the red seams instead OF
the red and blue which ruled last
season.
The National Leaguers wouldn't
have you to believe this as it
would be somewhat past their
pride. But it's the same ball just
the same with possibly q newer
looking cover, different colored
stitches and one or two windings
of yarn.
Heydler, Yes Man
The two leagues adopted this
uniform sphere at the annual
baseball meetings at Chicago last
December. The National League
didn't want to exactly come out
boldly and announce the fact that
they were willing to adopt the
American League ball.
So they had President John
Heydler represent them at a meet
ing with Thomas Shibe, baseball
manufacturer, and President VIII
Harridge, Of the American League
