Mais and Davis Still at Large
After Wounding Three in
Richmond Jail Break

More than two days after they
shot their way to freedom from
the Richmond jail, where they
were being held pending removal
to the State Penitentiary under
death sentence, William Davis,
alias Walter Legenza, and Robert
Mais, tri-state gang leaders, were
still at large today as one of the
greatest manhunts the country has
ever seen was under way.
More than 1000 peace officers
in half a dozen States were run
ming down scores of clues as to
the fugitives' whereabouts, all with
orders to shoot to kill
Both Heavily Armed
The gangsters, who wounded
three jailers in their mad dash
to freedom, are armed with pis-
tolls, and authorities expect that
they will put up a desperate bat
tie rather than be taken alive
with the certainty that they must
go to the electric chair.
Posses today are cornbing the
wooded sections around Fred
ericksburg, Va, following word
that two men answering the de-
scription of the fugitives were
seen lurking there around mid
night.
Other posses were searching
around Ocean City. where two
men and a woman were seen
acting in a suspicious manner.
Richmond police were holding
Mrs Elizabeth Mais, mother of
one of the gangsters, on the
theory that she smuggled the
guns into the prison in a can
supposed to contain a baked
chicken She denies that she had
any part in the escape plot.
Police were also searching for
Marie McKeever, sweetheart of
Mais, who has been in Richmond
until she was ordered out of
town few days ago as an Gun
desirable character"

in special session in Richmond,
it was expected, to probe the
escape.

SEES BRIGHT
FUTURE FOR
NATION
Executive Admits Mistakes in
4 Past, But Says Order Is
;s:. Coming From Chaos

BY International News Service
The New Deal has made mis-
takes, but in it, nevertheless, lies
the propelling power that will
drive America back to prosperity.
This was the story President
Roosevelt told the people last
night in his first comprehensive
radio address for three months.
Sees Bright Future
Broadly, the Presidents words
were an augur Of vital changes
to come, an assurance that Sc
curity and progress lie ahead, and
an inventory that found much
IN the past 10 months for which
to be thankful.
Mr.. Roosevelt stacked the New
Deal good against the bad. He
noted things which must be
changed, errors that must be cor
rected. Yet as he took it all in
all. order is evolving out Of chase,
and the future Is bright sss..s,,.,, 8
The address was oe fixing sig
nificance. In it, the Executive
took specific accounts of his ''seri-
Gus doubts" for the first time pub
licly. In it, too, he recounted
benefits and, in some measure,
outlined those things which he
now feels may have to be cast
aside.
MIRA, heart of the recovery pro-
gram, which was so recently sep
arated from the rule of Admins
traitor Hugh S. johnson, came in
for vigorous support. At the same
time, it was in this big unit that
the President found things which
seem to him unwise.
Expresses Doubts
The NRA discussion brought out
MIR. Roosevelt's doubts, and was
the occasion, too, which the
speaker took advantage of to give
Hugh johnson a verbal pat on
the back as an able and energetic
man.
Airing his doubts, the President
said:
''There may be serious ques-
ton as to the wisdom Of many
OF those devices to control pro.
ductiOn, or to prevent destruf1
tive price cutting, which many
business examinations have in
sisted were necessary, Or
