MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. a. W.P) -
Minneapolis newspapers were re
puested" today by provost officers
enforcing martial law not to pub
lish photographs of a non-union
truck driver who shot and seriously
wounded two drivers union pick
cts this morning.
The first request for suppression
of the photograph of the driver
as he was being taken into military
headquarters came from the pro-
vost marshals office.
Asked for an explanation, General
Walsh emphasized that the COM
munication was intended merely
as a request in order not to put
the driver on the spot"
He feared that publication of
the picture might enable striking
truck drivers to identify the driv-
er and retaliate for his shooting
of Earl Collins, 36, and George
Schirts, %. The driver, Leo Hol-
scher, said about Is members of a
band of marauding pickets attacked
his truck peiting him with rocks.
He fired into the group, putting
them to rout.
st. Paul and Minneapolis editors
said they would comply with the

request. None interpreted the re-
quest as carrying any threat Of
military punishment.
Thomas Dillon, managing editor
of the Minneapolis Tribune, said
the Tribune does not intend to
publish the picture because it
would make a marked man of
Holscher."
The request, he said, was "en-
tirely reasonable"
George Adams, editor of the
Minneapolis Star, said General
Walsh has assured me that moth
ing that has been said may be
construed as an order
The Star never had any inten-
ton of publishing the picture, he
said.
The Minneapolis journal city ed
itor said The Journal did not
take the picture and of course is
not affected by the request"
In st. Paul, Fred Strong, city
editor of the Daily News, said his
paper would not print the picture
because I'VE don't want to put
Holscher on the spot"
The city editor of the st. Paul
dispatch also said I'VE do not in
tend to use the picture

SCREEN STAR
INVOLVED IN
FIRST BATTLE

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 4. W.H-
George Raft IS sensitive ear-which
only this week was "remodeled"
by plastic surgeon-probably tin
gled today hs rirGside observers
gave him the nod over Sam Satz,
Hollywood playboy, in a somewhat
disputed, but nevertheless bloody,
battle outside the exclusive Brown
Derby
Raft IS studio was certain the act
or was not involved in the fight.
Satz was certain he was not the
actor IS opponent. In fact, the only
claimant to boxing honors was
Mack "Killer' Gray, Raft IS body
guard, who declared it was he, and
not the actor who battled with the
playboy.
Raft emerged from seclusion only
long enough to back up Gray's
story that the bodyguard did the
fighting. Nevertheless, ringside OBJ
servers, including numerous film
celebrities, insisted Raft himself
"put up the dukeS' outside the
smart restaurant and fought with
Satz until police and cafe walters
interfered
The actor declared the only part
he had in the fight-as far as he
can remember-Was to step in be-
tween the two men when he found
them swinging wildly at one an
other.
Rats recent operation on his
ear was seen as the cause of the
trouble. The ear was disfigured
years ago when Raft was a prize
fighter This week he had it re-
modelled. His bodyguard, too, was
sensitive on the subject of plastic
surgery, having had his nose
"touched a short time ago.
Witnesses said Raft overheard
Satz making remarks about the
"remodeling' and invited the play
boy outside, adjourning to a park
ing lot. Raft pulled Satz's spec
tacles from his nose, tossed them
! to the ground, and led with left,
it was said
AS the scuffle progressed crowds
gathered, including most of the
Brown Derby's patrons at the time.
among whom were Carole Lombard,
June Collyer, Judith Allen and Jack
Haley.
Rats tender ear was bleeding
before the battle was over, the spec
tators reported. There were sew
eral knockdown victims, including
Satz and woman from DeS
Moines, cheering onlookers report

Six deputy sheriffs guarded a
stretch of track two and one-half
miles south of here last night and
early today until a special train
bearing President Roosevelt and
his party passed safely over it at
l a. m, today.
Sheriff G. G.. Miles of Spokane
reported he had two men guarding
the stretch four days ago when a
signalman reported he saw two men
leave box of eight sticks of dyn-
amite and caps alongside the
tracks. The dynamite was not con-
nected with a fuse and would not
have blown up If the train had
passed the spot, he said. Deputies
removed the dynamite four days
ago.
Sheriff Miles said he had two
men stationed at the spot since the
dynamite was found and ordered
four men to guard the stretch last
night when the train passed over.

ing taken on the route the presi-
dental train will cover.

RUINS
Of ANCIENT.
CHURCH WALL

ROME, Aug. 4. UP)-Papal ar
chaeologists, after searching 100
years, today found the first Christ
ian church and residence of the
popes, beneath the historic st. John
Ipteran, known and revered
throughout the Catholic world as
"the mother of all churches
The discovery, considered one Of
the most important in recent
years, was made by accident. Work.
men had been repairing the floors
at the lowest level of the Lateran
cathedral, in which are numerous
crypts. Digging for a new found
alton, the workmen picks struck
hard surface. 1t proved to be a
wall.
The find was conveyed L. the
Vatican iarchaeologiSts, who i'm
mediately ordered that the outlines
of the walls be followed.
Finally, today, pieces of fourth
century masonry were uncovered.
The archaeologists agreed there
was sufficient evidence to corrob-
crate their belief the masonry was
part of the original walls of the
first church.
ROME, Aug. 4. U.P) - Ruins of
what is believed to have been the
first Christian church as we'll as
the first residence of the popes
were unearthed today by papal ar
cheologists.
The find was made during excav-
ations under st. John Lateran,
"the cathedral of the pope" which
itself, according to tradition was
started in the year 324 by Emperor
Constantine the First.
