Safe Cracking Reports UAW Votes for Poll
Show Sharp Increase OF 5000 Workers
With 5 Jobs in I Days On Ford Wa|koui

Safe-cracking In the District has
increased during the last 10 days.
with more than i've reported since
Thursday night.
Safe squad detectives said there
was O sudden increase after o
comparative lull Of several months
during which cases reported we're
solved quickly.
Thieves who broke into two
safes containing $1,000 in cash
and Sl,l00 in checks on Friday
night are still at large. detectives
said. as are those who tampered
with safes In three business estab-
lishments on Thursday night.
Police said the Friday night
thieves appeared to know more
about safe cracking than those
the previous night. however. dis
counting the theory that the same
men might have operated both
nights.
But police said it might be pos
sible that groups using different
methods are operating in the Dis
trict.
They said Thursdays jobs were
amateurish. Thieves used can
openers and other equipment not
adapted to the job. The follow
ing night, however. they used the
punch method"--knock of the
dial and punch out the pins and
bolts.
Detectives said they hadn't seen
q good punch job in the District
for some time. Until the last 10
days. the main method has been
the rip job"-tearing the door
of by brute force and lever.

and Jumbo" had the second
longest career in pictures. His
80 years on the screen have been
exceeded only by Lionel Barry

Won Wide Following.
Big. gruff Wally's heart of gold
character won him a wide follow
ing. He was usually the clumsy,
overgrown bad boy, who more or
less innocently got into all kinds
OF scraps but didn't really mean
to do wrong. A sly, shy look,
hand across the face gesture, and
a rumbling Jaw, shucks," were
famous Beery manrlerisms.
His teaming with the late Marie
Dressler in Min and Bill" and
Tugboat Annie was one of the
most successful movie combina-
ttons. He won an Academy
Award for "The Champ" in 1881.
He was voted by exhibitors as one
OF the top 10 box Office attractions
from 1882 through 1885, and again
In 1910.
MIR. Beery, a Kansas City police
mans son, in youth was an engine
wiper in a railroad roundhouse.
an elephant handler in circuses,
and an $18-a-week singer in a
Broadway chorus. After a short
career as dirt track racing car
driver he made his film debut In
1913 with the Essanay Company
in Chicago. His corrugated, homely
face was his fortune.
Glad He didn't Have $500.
Once a friend urged him to
have 1t lifted, warning: "In two
or three years your face is going
to look like an old squash" Mr..
Beery consulted a plastic surgeon
who asked $500 for the operation.
Wally had only 500.
"See!" he exulted later in life.
Suppose I'd had the $500. Where
would be now? A once pretty
has-been!"
He estimated that his pictures
earned $50,000.000 for M-G-M
studio. He appeared in more than
200 films. counting early one and
two-reelers.
Mr.. Beery had been the central
flgure in a paternity suit for sew

decision would be not to defend
the city.
That supposition was exactly
the opposite to the information
given Consul Gen. Cabot by the
garrison commander.
Text of Cabot Statement.
Mr.. Cabot's statement said:
"The commander of the Shang-
hal garrison has informed foreign
representatives that Shanghai
will be defended, come what may.
And he advised the removal OF
foreign women and children to
safer areas.
"The American consul general
has issued two warnings to Amer
ican nationals suggesting that
they leave Shanghai unless they
have compelling reasons to re-
main. He assumes that all those
not prepared to face dangers Of
remaining in a war area have al
ready left.
Nevertheless, he Is bringing the
garrison commanders warning to
their attention. He wishes more
over to point out that recent incl
dents in the Yangtze show that
American nationals remaining in
Shanghai cannot count on safety
through emergency evacuation If
the situation in Shanghai should
become so hazardous as to make
it inadvisable to stay"
The United States Navy head
quarters announced earlier in the
day il had sufficient space on ships
already here to evacuate all Amer
ican nationals and a considerable
number of other foreigners.
The absence of the usual number
of soldiers on the streets earlier in
the day had given rise to reports
that Gen. Tang En-po might al
ready have pulled his forces out
of the area.
It was felt that although the
Communists had no strong forces
near at hand, they likely wouldn't t
need them in any event.
Trains from Shanghai south
west to Hangchow were jammed.
But otherwise, life in Shanghai
went on about as usual. The
greatest dread among old China
hands is looting. They recall the
many upheavals of the past which
showed that mobs did more dam
age than invaders.
