FORT EUSTIS MAY
Be PRISON CAMP.
Army Post Scheduled for,
Abandonment Would Care
for Federal Overflow.

In connection with plans for abandon
ment Of unnecessary Army posts as a
matter Of economy, it was learned to-
day that Fort Eustis, Va, an occupied
post now scheduled for disposal, may be
turned over to the Justice Department
as a site for a prison camp.
Fort Eustis, 18 miles northwest of
Newport News, is believed to be ideally
located for such purpose. The plan
to turn it over to the Justice Depart
ment 1t is understood, is to help relieve
existing crowded conditions in most of
the Federal penitentiaries. Fort Eustis
is used in the Summer as a Citizens
Military Training camp.
return to the American Government
of 100000 over a 10-year period
through direct sales of Army property,
transfers to other departments of need
ed lands, and minor savings is expected
by War Department officials to result
from the proposed program for the dis
posal Of SO posts.
100000 Acres Disposed Of
Since 1919 the War Department has
disposed of some 100000 acres. A total
of $12643,26 was turned over to the
Treasury through direct sales while
245,11 acres with an appraised value
of S88, 422 ,032 we're transferred to other
departments, eliminating the necessity
for congressional appropriations to meet
their needs.
High department officials said they
expected a similar turnover during the
next 10 years.
Two of the largest items upon which
officials expect direct sales returns for
the Treasury are the Newark, N. j.
Army base. estimated to have a sales
value of $5,O00,000, and Fort Wayne,
Mich. with an estimated sales value
of 81, 900 600.
War Department officials said the
$22, 900 900 appraised value of the So
posts was considerably under the actual
value.
Saving at Omaha.
One recent instance of q saving
through use of Army property by other
departments was at Omaha, where the
Army turned over its site for the con-
struction of general Federal building
Direct annual savings would result
from the employment in the ranks of
soldiers now used as caretakers on
many posts and whose services are not
available for military purposes: trans
portation costs for supplies and per-
sonnet to remote posts such as Fort
Lincoln. N. OAK; maintenance costs Of
unoccupied buildings, such as paint
storm damage and general dtEeriora-
ton.
These minor direct savings alone
were estimated unofficially over a 10
year period to total probably $4,000
600.

HELD
IN KILLING OF TWO
Former Deputy Prosecutor
in Los Angeles to Undergo
Sanity Test.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, May 22.-David H.
Clark, candidate for municipal Judge
and former deputy district attorney,
held on suspicion Of double murder,
was transferred today to the County
Jail Hospital for an examination into
his sanity.
He surrendered at the Hall Of Justice
shortly before midnight. ending a 30
hour hunt for the killer of Charles II.
Crawford, millionaire political boss, and
Herbert F. Spencer, magazine editor,
shot to death late Wednesday in Craw-
fordS Hollywood Office.
Lets not talk about that" Clark
told reporters this morning when they
questioned him about the Sayings
I'm accused Of this and 1 know
from long experience as a prosecutor
where / won my cases because the ac-
cused talked too much, that speech
doesn't pay So have nothing to say. .
For eight years the 33-year-old at
torney and athlete served as deputy
district attorney here. He resigned on
request of District Attorney Buron Fits
last February and later became a can
didate for municipal Judge.
Investigators announced they had
found his bank account to be over
drawn $97 and that Tuesday he pur-
chased a pistol for which he gave a
worthless check. His wife had reported
him missing and sought police aid in
locating him.
The district attorney said that four
persons had identified Clark as the man
who was in conference with Crawford
and Spencer when two bullets ended
their lives
The sanity test is made by the State
in many criminal cases to enable the
prosecution to fight possible defense
pleas of insanity.

Federal Judge James II. wilkerson
yesterday in granting Capcne per-
mission TO withdraw his plea Of
guilty to an indictment charging
conspiracy to violate the prohibi-

lawyer moved Immediately to squash
the liquor indictment. but hearing
on this question was continued in

on five days notice from either
the prosecution or the defense.
Compromise Broken.
Judge wilkerson, in ruling on the
liquor case, filled q memorandum IN
which he said he allowed the de-
PENDANT to change his pleas Of
guilty TO not guilty IN both charges
because OF a compromise agreement
in which the court could not con-
cur. His reference was TO reports
that Capone had been promised a
short sentence In return for his plea
Of guilty. which were current last
July when Capone was allowed 70
withdraw his admission OF guilty In
