SEVEN SLAIN IN HAVANA: STRIKE IS THREATENED Communists in Provinces of Cuba Threaten to Revolt Openly. By Vnltrd Prrti HAVANA. Sept. 30—Communistic workers sought today to force a general gtrlk?. Bodies of seven persons in the morgue gave evidence of the government's determination to suppress disorders by arms if necessary. A Communist demonstration scheduled for today held possibilities of a disorder sufficient for a repetition of the bloody scene Friday afternoon when soldiers fired into a crowd in the center of the city. One of the wounded was an American citizen. Though President Pamon Grau San Martin gave permission for today's gathering, he told the United Press that he had embarked on a campaign forcibly to suppress any disorderly activities. The situation was regarded dangerous. Open Revolt Threatened Not only here but in the provinces Communists threatened open revolt. Politicians, who unitedly oppose the government, were asking Americans: • When are you going to land your marines?" Four persons were killed outright and twenty-three wounded when soldiers fired into a crowd of Communists and other workers who were in the Central Fraternity park to bury the ashes of Julio Mella, student patriot assassinated in Mexico City allegedly by agents of deposed President Gernardo Machada. Witnesses told the United Press two children and an old woman fell under the lire of the soldiers’ rifles and machine guns. One of the wounded was Joseph Gibson of New York.

As their cameras recorded the riot below, workers from a balcony of the building exchanged shots with the soldiers. Gibson was wounded in a return volley.

Some restaurants, closed for the period of Friday's demonstration, reopened Friday night. There was a trickle of street car and bus traffic. Movie theaters were closed. The bloody incident was the signal for a government move against Communists. Soldiers raided and closed the Communist headquarters.

RULES GIVEN FOR TWO STROKES OF SKY BALy GAME Ocean Roll and Turnwrist End Instructions for City Contest. With the Sky Ball fad started in the city, The Times today presents two more instructions in the method of playing the new game that is being offered to children by this paper and the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company. Prizes will be given to winners in the three classes of players. Use only the Green T-mes-Em-Roe Sky Ball in the contests. Two methods of play were described Friday ar.d with those for a basis, children can swing into the more complicated motions. When you master the four sets of instructions then it is up to you to devise novel methods of play that will place you above the average in the sectional contests, Oct. 14, with the hope of winning the finals a week ldtcr. The Ocean Roll and Turnwrist are described today. Ocean Roll Explained The Ocean Roll is the most interesting and satisfying stroke, since, if you can master the principle of it (the circular swing which the bat describes), you can easily learn to do the Flying Dutchman five different ways. Put your index finger on the back of the paddle (the side which has “Sky Ball” printed on it) and hold it firmly in your hand. A good grip that prevents the paddle from turning in your hand will save a lot of unnecessary misses. Hold the ball in your left hand at the same level as the bat and about two feet away from it. When you swing toward the ball do not make a flat swing, but follow the bottom line of an oval shape (starting at the right going to the left). After you hit the ball you start on the backward swing by raising your bat like the top of an oval shape. That completes your circle, but the bat never stops. It smoothly continues down, forward and upward and a little practice will soon give you the feel of the correct stroke. Tournament in Detail Be sure to always keep your eye on the ball. Never look at the paddle, but keep your eye glued to the ball. The turnwrist only can be done satisfactorily on a smooth surface (sidewalk, good asphalt sti'eet, hardwood floor, etc.) Hit the ball so that it hits the ground in front of you and comes back to you with as low a bounce as possible. After the forward swing of the paddle, the latter continues in a downward swing and on throujli past your body. Start the upward swing about one foot behind your body and strike the ball with the back of the paddle, hitting the ball forward and upward at about a 30 degree angle. You now are ready to start all over again, hitting the ball which is being pulled toward your bat by the rubber string, downward to the ground and continuing as before. Stand upright while you play with the Sky Ball. Do not bend over trying to reach the ball. Make the ball come to you. Do not exert yourself, but try to execute all the throws as gracefully as you can. Get your Sky Ball now and clip the entry blank on this page to become a contestant. CHILO PLAYING NEAR FIRE BURNED BADLY Girl, 3, in Critical Condition as Result of Accident; Saved by Mother.

PRESIDENT ACTS TO ENDSTRIKE Miner Pact Is Signed by Roosevelt; No Prospect of Ford Peace. By United Pres* President Roosevelt today signed a , miners-operators’ agreement which he hoped would restore peace to the Pennsylvania soft coal fields where 75,000 miners are on strike, but there seemed no immediate prospect of peace between Henry Ford and striking workers in two of his plants. Strikers in the Ford plants in Chester, Pa., and Edgewater, N. J., expected the strike to spread to Ford plants throughout the country. The Ford company dismissed 510 of the Edgewater strikers, maintaining they had no reason for leaving their jobs. Mine union officials and operators expected all striking miners to return Monday when the coal code becomes effective. The agreement approved by the President specifies that miners working in the socalled “captive mines (mines owned by industries such as steel that take the entire produce) must enjoy the same status as miners working for other operators.” The H. C. Frick Company, which failed to sign the coal code and precipitated the strike, was one of the signing operators. THUGS IN LAFAYETTE SHOOTINGSEEN HERE Car Is Reported Sighted by Milkman.

LEGION ARMIES FLOOD CHICAGO FOR CONVENTION Roosevelt Talk Will Mark Opening of Fight for Veteran Relief. By United Press CHICAGO. Sept. 30. First phalanxes of a legion mightier than Rome ever knew flooded into the world's fair city of Chicago today for what was promised as the largest convention ever held. One hundred and fifty thousand American Legion members facing a crucial crossroads in policy and an equal number of other visitors attracted by the veterans' conference were gathering. National Commander Louis A. Johnson made all arrangements for the entertainment Monday of President Roosevelt whom he confidently expects will address as many Legionnaires as can be packed into the Chicago stadium where the President was nominated last year. Battle Is Forecast The President's visit was awaited eagerly as it was his action in cutting $400,000,000 from veterans’ payments lasts pring which brought the powerful veterans’ group to its present crisis. The legion was expected to order a vigorous battle in congress this winter to win back most of the $400,000,000 cut out by Roosevelt's economy program. A studied plan of attack has been drawn up, and indications were it would receive virtually unanimous support. Program Is Outlined The program which the veterans are expected to vote calls for restoration to all veterans injured in line of service all benefits in effect prior to last spring, government hospitalization of all veterans in need of treatment and unable to pay for it, restoration of the socalled presumption of service connection of disabilities in accord with laws wiped out last spring, renewal of benefits for dependents of veterans and perpetual government protection of widows and children of deceased veterans. Lilly Official to Speak W. R. Spurlock of Eli Lily & Cos. will be the speaker Monday at the luncheon of the Scientech Club at the Columbia Club.
