CARY GRANT HOME
IS BURCLARIZED

Hollywood. July 3-(uP)-Police
were trying today to determine how
burglars entered actor Cary Grants
beach home and lived to escape.
The house was filled with deadly
hydrocyanic acid gas.
Grant left Hollywood for a bus.
mess trip east and decided to have
his home fumigated for moths dur

tary, Frank Horn, stopped at the
house yesterday and found II had
been entered. He remained outside
and called police.
Officers opened the building and
CAV 1t a thorough airing before en-
tering. They expected 70 find the
bodies Of the intruders. Instead,
however, they found Grants posses

lars had dropped them In a hasty
departure. Technicians said they
might have used gas masks, since q
warning had been posted.

TRUCE MAY END
FOR WITT when
SEASON CLOSES
Showdown Believed Due
Unless Indians Win
Fla G
BY CHARLES p. MCMAHON
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Cleveland, O.. July 3-(UP)-The
'mutiny" OF the Cleveland Indians,
ostensibly settled amicably, appears
over, but indications point to an ,in-
eapthing Of the Ratchet when the
season ends.
The sudden and complete capit-
ulation Of the Indians to vote Of
confidence for Manager Oscar Witt
after three stormy days Of public
dissension was reported as only an
armed truce"
Such stars as Bob Feller, Mel
Harder, Hal Trosky, JEFF Heath
and Rollie Hemsley were among the
IL players who demanded Of Alva
Bradley, club president, the removal
Of Wit as manager.
The action, believed without par
allel in baseball history, drew
caustic criticism for unnecessarily
disrupting a team in the midst Of a
pennant fight.
Embarrassing to Bradley
II Is believed that the players
withdrew their objections to Witt
after they realized that their actions
had placed Bradley in an impossible
situation.
After charging the fiery, talkative
manager with being openly contem-
ptuous Of their playing ability and
creating nervous, jittery ball club,
the players, excepting three men,
bers, signed the following statement:
I'VE, the undersigned, hereby de-
clare to withdraw all statements
referring to the resignation Of Oscar
Witt. We feel that this action is for
the betterment Of the Cleveland ball
club"
However, previous to the recon-
Citation many Of the veteran play
ers had expressed views that they
couldn't carry on under the cir
cuinstanceS even with Bradley
favorably disposed toward Witt.
How can we 60 on now that this
has been brought to light?" one
said. II know that ] could never
feel the same toward Witt and that
he could never fell the same toward
me-"
witt Won Ovation
To Bradley went the role Of dip
1omat. On the third day Of the dis
sension--a Sunday-thousands of
fans at the Indians ball game gave
Witt a rousing reception as he
brought the lineup to the umpire at
the plate.
He called the players to his office
after the game and emerged smiling
q little while later after the Indians
with the exception of JEFF Heath
and Hank Helf who were In the
hospital and Roy Weatherly who
walked out before they got started
to the budding stage-signed the
statement.
Wits chances of remaining as
manager would be enhanced If the
Tribe won the pennant or even
came close. But the enmities would
rankle.
It would appear then that the
players arguments that they can't
win with Witt, which, incidentally,
they are doing, would be discredited.
Changes Not So Frequent
Contrary TO the popular belief Of
the turbulence and short reign Of
Cleveland managers. the records
show otherwise.
The Indians have had Is man.
ayers In the 40 years they have
been In the American League. many
fewer than other teams.
The Tribe has had only two man
ayers since 1885, the beginning OF
the reign OF Steve O'Neill. Witt took
over O'Neillls post In the middle OF
the 1898 season.

STRONG QUAKE
RECORDED TODAY

Weston, Mass, Oct. 4-(UP)-A
Every strong" earthquake was re-
corded at 4:05:16 a. m. ,(EST) today
at the Weston college seismograph
station, the Rev. James J. Devlin s.
j., reported.
The quake occurred 1900 miles
from Weston, he reported, and its
main temblor was at 3:54:41 a. m. at
its center.
Though he was unable to deter
mine the exact direction from West
on, Father Devlin believed it cen
tered in the Aleutian Islands, off
Alaska, or in South America.
If the quake centered in popu-
lous area, he said, it could have
caused wide destruction"
The Seismograph record continued
for nearly two hours.

LEWIS HOLDS OUT
FOR BETTER TERMS
Clio Head Said to Be With
holding Roosevelt Sup=
port at Present

Washington, Oct. 4 = CUP0 -
President John L. Lewis of the
Congress of Industrial Organizations
was reported today to be holding out
for better terms before pledging his
support to the Roosevelt Wallace
ticket.
There were reports also of an
early conference between Lewis and
Republican presidential candidate
Wendell L. Willkie. Last night they
were in the same hotel in Pittsburgh
where Willkie delivered a major adj
dress and where Lewis is attending
a conference of steel workers.
There was no confirmation Of a
Willkie-Lewis get-together. When
asked if he planned to see Willkie,
Lewis said he was mot going 10
discuss politics today"
Whichever way he goes - If he
goes-Lewis will have to eat some
language. He told the United Mine
Workers convention at Columbus,
O., last winter that Mr.. Roosevelt
would meet "ignominious defeat" if
he sought a third term. Soon after
ward Lewis paid his respects to the
Republican party: ut does not pre-
tend to serve anyone but the fnan-
cial interests who control it.
One of the issues dividing the adj
ministration and Lewis is under
stood to have been the distribution
of government contracts. The ques-
ton seems now to have been re-
solved to the satisfaction of labor
by joint action of Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson and the Nation
al Defense Commission.
Sidney Hillman, commissioner
member, vice president of CLIO
and president of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, announced Octo-
Der l on behalf of the commission
that no national defense contracts
would be awarded to firms violating
federal labor laws. jackson issued
an informal ruling yesterday that
such restriction would be lawful.
Mr.. RooSevelt's failure to quickly
name a successor to Labor Board
Chairman j. Warren Madden is in
terpreted by some persons as a
maneuver to avoid antagonizing
Lewis and others who want Madden
kept on the job. Madden's term ex-
pired in August.
