Actors Drop Walkout Plan
Six Major Studios Agree Guild To Act As Closed Shop
By United Press.
The Screen Actors’ guild at a mass meeting last night tumultuously agreed to abandon plans for a general walkout tomorrow after six of the nine major studios granted them a closed shop.
With a shout that figuratively lifted the wooden rafters from old Hollywood Legion stadium, actors and actresses abandoned their strike plans and voted to accept the accord previously approved by the six studios.
AMENDMENT PASSED
Aii amendment was tacked on and passed, authorizing the guild's executive board to call a strike at cither of the three studios—Warner Brothers. Hal Roach, and United Artists — which have not had a chance to approve the settlement. Officials of these three companies could not be reached by the producers' negotiating committee, it was explained.
"Working conditions for actors have been amicably adjusted. It has been the common endeavor ol both committees to work out the best possible conditions lor players receiving smaller salaries, and it is my opinion that the points agreed upon by the two committees will be regarded by all parties concerned as equitable and just," a Him executive srid.
GUILD SHOP DEMANDED
The haste with which the six studios passed on the producers’ committee recommendations had been demanded by the actor's guild, which had warned that strike action would be ordered at last night’s mass meeting unless the guild shop was granted.
The striking Federated Motion Picture crafts started pickcling ol Hollywood and Los Angeles movie theaters yesterday in a new reprisal against lilm studios, threatened with a complete shutdown Irom a walkout ot actors and actresses.
Meadows, Seflon Set World's Record In Pole Vault
By BMI Clark
It was strategy that did it.
But it was the strategy ol watch-lul waiting by the old fox, Dean Cromwell, that triumphed over thc strategy of Dink Templeton—running his men to death—that proved the dillerence between a Stanlord victory and a Trojan walloping.
It was a walloping, ’!4'&-56,2.
NEW WORLD RECORD
Saturday's meet was so replete with thrills and astounding upsets i that another world’s record was set j almost unnoticed. Bill Selton and j Earl Meadows were up to their old tricks, this time it was 14 leet 8% inches, and Earl finally got a break,
! The officials measured the height carefully before either boy leaped I so neither was lorced to stand I <i round nervously before getting his chance.
Here are some other things which should never have happened:
1. Weiershauser, the Stanlord iron-man, placed second in the 100. lirst in the 220, and went unplaced in his specialty, the low hurdles.
[ The century is not his best race, and il jerked he might have grab-1 bed oil 10 points instead of seven. THREE SWEEP JAVELIN I 2 Stanford was shut out ol the | javelin. Soper. Martin, and Ehr-) horn were really hot, the llrst two getting their best marks under lire | all year.
I 3. Phil Gaspar unwound his bul-j ky trame for a mighty discus throw 1 ol 152 leet 4 inches to place second ; to Pete Zagar, at the same time cutting out the favorite, Hugh Grib-ben, by 2V4 leet.
4.	Toar Hansen and Bob Fisher returned empty handed as Stanford swept nine points in the shot. TROY TAKES RELAY
5.	Troy copped the relay. Although the meet was already decided, it was a sweet victory, and Al Corley and the three Bobs, Bonebrake, Olson, and McNerney, helped make Dink eat his now-lamous words: “Stanford will score eighty points.” As he afterward claimed, passiblypoints." As he alterward claimcd. possibly he was misquoted. He might have picked Troy by 80 points—in which case he was the best of the sell-styled Frognasticat-ors after all.
