PRISON GUARD
 SLAYERS FREE
Boston Police Probe Into Many Clues, But None
 Are Found

Boston, Dec. 26-(UP)-After in- Vestigating scores of tips, police today apparently were without a clue to the whereabouts of two state prison convictS who killed a guard Monday. A systematic search of the village section of Everett, home city of Edward Guarnelli, 25, and Antonio Repucci, 26, by police with riot guns and tear gas bombs lastt night failed to disclose trace of the fugiltives. Guarnelli and Repucci mortally wounded Guard Walter R. Doucette, 43, father of six children, after overpowering him in taxicab in which they were re- turning to prison from court. The guard died several hours later at 8 hospital.
 A report that Newton house. maid, said to be a former sweetheart of one of the convicts, was being watched in the hope she might lead them to the fugitives was denied by both Boston and Newton police. An other "tip" that the convictS had raided 8 gun store to obtain arms remained unconfirmed today, no such break having been reported in this vicinity. Maine police searched inbound trains and busses without avail. A search of both Gloucester and Boston fishing fleets likewise proved futile.
 Thomas V. Morocco, acknowledged friend of Repucci and Guarnelli, was released yesterday by Cranston, R. l., police after explaining satisfactorily his trip from Everett to Cranston. Governor Curley has offered 1000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the fugitives.

solidly unite to combat Atheism, Rationalism and Communism" . While not approving the reunion of all branches of the Protestant church with the Roman Catholic church, Dr. Conrad pointed out that the difference between the high Episcopal and Catholic churches was practically nil" and they might fuse with little difficulty"
 "There is no doubt that all branches of the church of Christ should solidly unite to combat Atheism, Rationalism and Commun- isrn," he said, land no doubt today the world owes great deal to the determined stand of the Catholic church in opposing forces which would swallow up our civilization.
 eve should all unite in opposing the great inundation of the infer nal"
 Closer Together DeS Moines, Ia., Dec. 26-(UP)-- Today's challenge to Christian faith and teachings is bringing Protestant and Catholic churchmen closer to- gether, Dr. Stoddard Lane, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church said today, but he believed organ ized unity appears unlikely and in- practical.
 T believe in church unitey as a general proposition" he said in com- ment on 8 proposal of Episcopal churchmen to unite with Catholics. Certainly all Christian people should recognize the problems con- fronting them and should cooper ate fully to preserve our faith. But I doubt that organized fusion is practical. Certainly I cannot agree that Protestant denominations are religiously bankrupt"
 The Rt. Rev. George Craig Stewart Chicago bishop in the Episcopal church, doubted if the 29 spoke with any ecclesiastical authority and said he had been informed of no such movement.
 T am sure they speak only for themselves" he said, land represent only small faction of the more than 5000 members of the Episco- pal clergy"
 Friars Statement
 Peekskill, N. r., Dec. 26-(UP)- The appeal for Episcopal church. men to unite with the Roman Catholic church is further evidence of the strength of 8 world wide movement for reunion of the two churches broken apart by Henry VIII of England, the Rev. Father Paul James Francis of the Friars of the Atonement said today.
 Father Paul led dissenting friars of the monastery here in their break from the Anglican communion in 1907. They applied admission to the Catholic church and were admitted in 1909.
 Other orders have followed the example of the friars, Father Paul said, including group of Benedic- tines, both monks and nurses, in Great Britain.
 We have been praying for this for long time," he said. "The movement is stronger in England than it is here. The trend is steady and believe increasing"
 Father Paul believed 8 majority of the Anglican communion mem bers eventually would re-unite with Rome.

for its bonds?" Frazier asked.
"It is too late for the bondholders
to make the city council change
this years levy, however, the bond
holders protested at the council
meeting" Refsnes replied.
It was believed that Refsnes re-
ferred to a verbal protest made by
Rudolph zepeda on behalf Of the
Valley National Bank Of Tucson.
This belief was strengthened because
Refsnes was accompanied to Nogal-
es by j. G. Lee, also of that bank.
Refsnes told the board his COM
pany would undertake to refund
county bonds at Az percent for
commission approximately $4,000.
He was told by the board to hold
out for four per cent and report
back to the board on it's possibili-
ties before any action.
Refsnes will work with the bond
holders and will make agreements
with them instead of taking the
Bettwy force method.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that a refund on county bonds would
net greatly reduce the tax rate. The
total amount budgeted for bonds by
the county at present amounts to
only 43 cents. The amount the coun-
ty budgeted for bonds is less than
half the amount budgeted by the
city under the city moratorium.

City property generally was in
greater demand than farm property,
but veteran real estate dealers pre-
dicted demand for the rural pro-
perty would increase sharply this
fall.
All dealers expressed surprise at
the number of cash deals which have
been made during the summer. They
believed this indicated an influx of
new capital into this section of Ari-
zona.
Homes in the moderate price class
were in greatest demand, both as to
sales and rentals.
