ADVISES FEDERAL
 PROBE OF.ESCAPE
tBy United PreSs)

Washington, June War depart ment officials, recommending to Sec retary of War Baker the procedure by which they hope to bring to justice those responsible for the escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy draft resister, today advised an inves- tigation by the department of justice which will determine whether criminal prosecution will be brought against certain civilians and whether certain members of the army will be recom- mended for disciplinary action. This recommendation was today transmit ed by the inspector general of the army to Secretary Baker.
 The civilians and army men unof- ficially accused of complicity in Berg dolls escape are said to have been implicated through investigations which Secretary Baker ordered as soon as the draft resister had escaped from his guards at Philadelphia. Since his escape, no positive information has been had as to Bergdoll's whereabouts One report placed him in Florida and another as headed for the Mexican border.
