H0OVER-DEMS
Get REWARDS
Will Be Favored With Fed
eral Appointments
Under Plan
By JAMES l.. WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, March 12.-tP)-
Recosli.' on of the leaders Of the
Hoover democrats of the south in
the matter Of federal appointments
in that section is likely to be adj
opted by President Hoover as a
cardinal policy.
There also are indications that in
the eastern and western states the
regular organization leaders will be
required to consult ON appointments
those who had charge of the Hoover
pre-convention campaign in those
cases where tn Sc men are not now
identified with the regular state
party leadership.
While there has been no formal
announcement of the methods that
are to be pursued in selecting fed
eral officers in the states south of
the Mason and Dixon line, the gen.
eral expectation is that this will be
largely in the control of a commit
tee for each state on which the
Hoover democrats will have member
ship, although by no means a ma
jority.
In some instances these commit
teemen, presumably at the sug-
"estion of high national leaders,
have presented the names of those
who they would like to see on the
committees for their states. In
each instance, leaders Of the Hoover
democrats have been included.
Recognition of this group in Tex
as already has been extendede by
the regular republican organization
under r. B. Creager, national COM
mitteeman, and some of the Hoover
democrats have been urged for high
nOStS.

Of the prisoners, feigning sickness,
asked to be let out of a cell, in
which there we're six or seven
other men. AS the night gendarme
opened the cell, the man suddenly
caught him and threw him to the
floor. wrestling his gun away.
Other prisoners were then set
at liberay, and the band. out

attracted by the noise. met and en-
gagged them in a pitched battle in
which upwards of so shots were
fired. Customs men suffered no
casualties as a result Of the setto.
Matamoros authorities said the
break had nothing to do with the
present revolt, but that the pris-
oners had seized on the present
time as most propitious for a break,
knowing that in the present unset
tied state Of affairs they would less
likely be followed.
The wardens in the jail at the
time of the escape are being held
by authorities under charges Of
negligence.
