MEXICO CITY—fflh—Spurred by
the direct orders ot President Car-
denas, the capital's police and de-
tective forces Saturday focused all
their resources on rounding up the
machinegun band which made a
spectacular attempt on the life of
Leon Trotsky, former war commis-
sar of Soviet Russia.
Police authorities reported they
had found no clues to the identity
of the group of more than 20 men
who broke into Trotsky's walled-
home in nearby Coyoacan Friday
and. fleeing after the attempt, kid-
naped one of the exile's secretary-
guards. Sheldon Harte, o* New York
City.
Examination of Trotsky’s bomb-
blasted garden and bullet-riddled
bedroom, where he and his wife
had huddled on the floor during
the attack, had produced no tangible
evidence, the police said.
Taking up Trotsky's charge that
"Joseph Stalin was directly respon-
sible.” conservative political circles
declared the bold crime was con-
clusive proof that a Nazi-Commun-
| ist fifth column was operating in
Mexico.
Some federal deputies said they
1 feared it meant a reign of terror
was about to be initiated in the
I country, w hile a Communist leader
domestic and foreign interests to
discredit Mexico.
