2330 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
While the fighting was at its height, Deputy Dean W. Stafford of the Vermont Avenue substation was separated from fellow ofiicers by a gang of 12 or more of the strikers.
A blow with a bottle against the side of Stafford's face knocked him to the ground and fellow officers said at least a dozen strikers jumped on him and kicked him into unconsciousness.
AID CAIXKD FOE
The sheriff's loud-speaker called for officers to go to his aid. Two broke through, drew their revolvers, cocked them and calling out warnings to the threatening mob, held it off until other deputies ran up. They dragged the prostrate Stafford from under the running board of an auto and carried him to an ambulance. Deputy Gilbert O. Leslie, first officer to reach Stafford, told newsmen : "I saw he was cut off from the rest of us and a crowd was bearing down on
him. They were yelling, 'Kill him ! Kill him !' and 'Get that !' He went
down and they were beating him with bottles and clubs. He was unconscious but they kept it up."
CONDITION SEEIOUS
"I was in plain clothes and the only way I could help him and hold them off until others arrived was to draw my gun. I have no prejudices in the strike but I saw the danger to one of us and it was the only thing I could do to save a life.

technicolor
Violence flared in the studio strike again yesterday when police officers arrested 35 men and 3 women in a jeering mob of 2,000 strikers and sympathizers at the Technicolor Motion Picture Corp. to quench an incipient riot that threatened to be the worst of the current union squabble.
Clubs and fists swung in three waves of fighting during the tense moments of a 2-hour period shortly after dawn, but no one was seriously hurt, although many of the rioters vi^ent down in the sporadic action.
