theorized in statement to investi-
gators that his wife died as the re-
suit of blow on the head suffered
when their honeymoon car swerved
to avoid striking an animal. Tor
rance said she apparently, had
struck the rear-view mirror CT the
vehicle.
Gilberto Zardaneta. municipal!
criminologist, said there we're small
fractures inside the skull. and that
the nose was broken. There were
bruises on the left hand and right
forearm.
Torrance is accused of beating his
67-year-old bride to death with a
vacuum bottle.
A visceral examination will be
made in the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation laboratory at Washing

the viscera by airmail today.

President Roosevelt took direct
issue with John l.. Lewis, preSi-
dent of The United Mine Work.
ers, late. today to deny the
validity of Mr.. Lewis grounds
for refusing to sign a contract
with the steel company owners
of the captive coal mines.
Mr.. Lewis had contended in a
letter to the President that he was
powerleSs to sign at the terms of the
steel executives because it would be
in contradiction of union contract
terms with commercial coal mines
in the Appalachian agreement.
Giving his press conference per-
mission to quote him directly, Mr..
Roosevelt said this afternoon:
The Appalachian agreement in
all the commercial mines stands just
as it has ever since it went into oper-
alton. No question involved in the
captive mine strike would affect the
pay or the hours or the collective
bargaining recognition of the United
Mine Workers in any of the Appa-
lachian agreement mines.
Therefore, I don't think point A
in Mr.. Lewis letter was a valid
point"
Conferred on Rail Strike.
The Presidents blunt reputation
Of Mr. Lewis contention was the
only positive action by the White
House today in connection with the
coal strike.
Earlier, however, Mr. Roosevelt
had talked over the defense labor

and had conferred for an hour with

tives of the railroad industry on a
threatened Nationwide railroad
strike called for December 7.
AS his press conference opened,
the President made an initial an
and railroad strikes and about con-
versations with the japanese gov
ernment to the effect there would
be no news on any of them this
afternoon.
He acknowledged that he would
see the railroad group again tomor-
row afternoon, but repeated his no
news" answer when pressed on the
question of necessity for labor legls-
lation.
After an interval of discussion OF
defense highway expenditures and
his contention that only those es-
sential to defense purposes should
be given funds this year, Mr. Roose-
welt was brought back to the strike
situation.
Permits Quotation.
After replying briefly in the mega
tive when asked If the Government
had expressed any objection other
than that to the compulsion factor
involved in the union shop issue.
the President then remarked that
reporters might say this with regard
to the coal strike. 1t was then that
he permitted the direct quotation in
contradiction to Mr.. Lewis.
Before specifically declaring his
opinion that Mr. Lewis first point
was invalid, the Chief Executive was
asked if he was taking into full ac-
count the argument of the union
official He replied fatty that he
was.
Twice in his discussion beyond
the quoted portion the President ex-
pressed his certainty that the APP
palachian agreement would not be
modified or changed in any way by
union consent to the open-shop
terms insisted upon by the steel
companies.
