RULING CUTS PAY
-.
AFTER DISABILITY
McCarl D:cides Case Of
permanently Disabled"
Fireman.

A retired fireman drawing compen.
sation for permanent disability may.
upon recovery. be restored to service
only at the minimum annual pay.
Controller General McCarl held in a
decision to the District Commissioners,
made public today. The same prin-.
ciple would apply to the Metropolitan
Police.
The ruling came in the case Of Pvt.
w. H. Boswell, who was receiving
$2,400 annually when dropped on jan
uary 80, 1895. His reinstatement will
be at the rate of $1,000.
1T appears from your submission"
McCarl told the Commissioners, that
prior to the retirement of Pvt. Bos-
well, a physician representing the
Board Of Police and Fire Surgeons,
testified January II, 1885, before the
Retiring and Relief Board that Bos-
well was suffering from bronchial
asthma and that while incapacitated
for active duty at that time they were
OF the opinion that an extended pc
riod in hot, dry climate would effect

restored to fitness for further duty as
a fireman; that on this testimony the
Retiring and Relief Board recon-
mended his retirement, with relief in
the sum of 500 a month, with the
provision that he be ordered to report
on January 7, 1886, for physical ex-
animation looking toward his restora-
ton to active duty in the Fire Depart
ment, and that these recommended
tions were approved by the Board of
Commissioners on January 80, 1885.
In view of the express provisions
of the statute authorizing only the
payment Of medical, surgical and hos
pital expenses for temporary disability,
and retirement with relief payments
for permanent disability only, there
would appear to be room for grave
doubt whether Pvt Boswell was
authorized to be retired for permanent
disability under the conditions stated.
However that may be. it is clear
that such retirement as for permanent
disability could not legally be made
upon basis of restoration to duty
after a temporary absence. Having
been retired as for permanent dis
ability and having received and ac-
cepted the benefits of such retirement
status, right of restoration to pre-
vious status cannot be made out in
favor of the retired fireman on the
basis of an understanding that such
retirement would be only temporary

THREE ARE SLAIN
IN PRISON BREAK
Desperate Takes Respon.
sibiIity for Killing Dakota
Warden and Others.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SIOUX FALLS, S. OAK, March T.
A two-gun desperate today assumed
full responsibility for the prison break
that resulted in the deaths Of three
persons and the wounding Of three
others in one melodramatic hour.
Clyde Carrier, 18-year-old Kansan
who was critically injured yesterday
in his headlong attempt to free his
convict brother, told officials:
II figured it out myself"
The dead were Eugene Kelley. 70.
warden of the South Dakota State
Penitentiary, who was carried oil as
hostage; Phil Ray, convict bank rob-
ber, and Berlan Meisel, % Of Webster,
S. Oak.
Deputy Sheriff George Collins was
in serious condition from gun wounds.
Miss Freda Rausch was shot in the
face. Young Carrier, who hitch
hiked from Kansas City to execute
the plot, had four bullets in his right
shoulder and two in his left arm. He
was in hospital.
Governor orders PROBE.
Harold Carrier, serving 80 years for
robbery, was back in prison. while Gov.
Tom Berry sought to learn how his
brother managed to carry two pistols
into the penitentiary.
Clyde gave an account to authorities.
He said:
II stuck two gats under my belt
and went up to see my brother. told
him my plan. He said 'okay.' pulled
out gun and covered the guy nearest
me. I gave the other gun to my
brother"
Clyde told how Harold went to a
cell block to release Ray and how the
trio removed machine gun and rifles
from the arsenal, seized the warden,
stole a car in front Of the prison and
sped away. Guards and TRUSTEES were
covered.
A series OF automobile thefts. rum
ming exchanges of fire with officers and
surrender of the surviving fugitives S
miles away ensued.
Reiley was fatally wounded during
the fight. Officials were seeking to
| determine II he had been struck by
bullet fired by the pursuing posse. His
| plea for release was rejected.
Clash With Police.
The fugitives' machine collided with
a police car. Ray aimed rife. but
Policeman D. v. Baker fired tear gas
gun in his face before he could shoot.
The prisoners fed.
Later their car went into a ditch
and they halted the automobile driven
by Walter L. Keith. street department
| superintendent at Sioux Falls.
Keith said Ray attempted to work
his jammed gun. Deputy Collins fired
at Ray and felled him. Collins. In
turn. was shot by another Of the des-
peradoes. but emptied his weapon at
the trio as they started off in Keith's
car.
The machine was disabled soon
afterward. Meisel drove up with his
fiance. Miss Rausch. Both were
wounded as the gunmen fired.
A posse arrived. exchanged shots
and the Carriers surrendered Ray
was found dead and Kelley fatally
wounded in the convicts' car.

guarantees arose from the action Of
Great Britain and France toward Italy
in imposing war sanctions
Hitlers statement that the Covenant
Of the League should be divorced from
the Versailles treaty corresponds ex-
actly to the italian viewpoint expressed
officially and unofficially many times.
Sees Revival of Old Idea.
Hitler's proposal Of non-aggres-
sion treaty with Germanys west
ern neighbors was regarded here as a
revival Of Mussolinis four power pact,
which would have linked Germany
with her big western neighbors-Brit-
ain. France and Italy.
There was no official comment, but
Fascists generally expressed the i'm
portance Of Germany's offer of a Is
year non-aggression pact, which they
felt Italy would welcome.
The Fascists felt a non-aggression
pact would be hinged on the demilita-
rized zone, where it is doubtful France
would accept abandonment of forts,
implied in Germany's proposal that
new demilitarized zone be set up.
Circles familiar with the Italian
policy pointed out that the German
decision is Of greater Importance to
France and Great Britain than to
Italy.

consequently killed both the letter and
the spirit Of that peace instrument"
And in order to illustrate the cor
rectness of this statement, the Ger
man Ambassador pointed out that the
Soviet-French agreement provides
that Even if the League cannot come
to decision regarding an act of agrees
sion in an eventual controversy. France
pledges herself to give the Soviet gov
ernment aid and assistance"
This very sentence, according to DR..
Luther, was sufficient to take away
any actual value from the Locarno
pact, as far as Germany is concerned.
Peaceful Intention Clear"
"The peaceful intentions of Hitler
are clear" the German Ambassador
stated, when he declares that not
only is Germany ready to enter the
League of Nations, but she is also pre-
pared to sign an air pact limiting the
air forces of the Western nations"
OF course, DR.. Luther was somewhat
reticent to discuss the question of the
German-Soviet relations. He pointed
out. however, that Hitler has officially
declared that the Reich has no ter
fitorial ambitions
In diplomatic quarters in Washing
ton, the spectacular move of the Ger
man Army in the Rhineland has
caused sensation equal to the move
in 1914, when the German armies
invaded Belgium.
Although the intentions of the Ger
man government were known here for
several months, it was not believed
that Hitler would do it in such q
spectacular way.
Well informed quarters do not believe.
however, that this move of the
Heichsfuehrer will precipitate an armed
conflict at once.
To Be Referred to League.
France is bound to refer the matter
to the League of Nations and it will
take some time before that slow
machinery can be set into motion.
On the other hand, it is believed
here that Great Britain had been in
formed beforehand of the German
move and that British diplomacy will
strive to prevent an outbreak of hos
tlllties because Hitler has proclaimed
openly what he has been doing for
the last six months. The French
government itself might take a philo-
sophical view, for the time being at
least, regarding this new violation of
the Versailles treaty. The French
armies are not quite ready yet for
a campaign.
OF course there is always the
danger of some emotional outburst in
France or some frontier incidents in
connection with the official moving in
OF the German armies into the Rhine
land. But barring these, confidence
is expressed by diplomats in close
touch with European affairs, that the
occupation of the Rhineland demili-
tarized zone will not be the signal
for another European war.

closing hours of consideration of the
bill there to restore reductions made
by the Appropriations Subcommittee
headed by Representative Blanton,
Democrat, of Texas. The few men,
bers in sympathy with the Districts
needs knew the futility of trying to
make any alterations in the bill.
Dirksen Amendment Fails.
Representative Dirksen, Republican,
Of Illinois, member of the District
Legislative Committee Of the House
however. did attempt to have elimi-
mated from the bill new legislative
provision designed to prevent Dis
trict officials and employees who re-
ceive $2.40O or more year from
engaging in Outside" work. His
amendment to kill the provision met
the same fate as all other proposed
changes.
The legislative provision, Dirksen
pointed out, would penalize the Dis
trict land a lot of innocent people
He argued that the harm it would
create would be greater than any
good that might result
These arguments inspired Blanton
to criticize officials in the corporation
counsel's Office and judges Of the
District courts who teach law classes
at night in Washington's educational
institutions. He pointed out that all
of them are making good" salaries
on the District pay roll.
Despite their salaries, still some OF
them want to lecture at night and we
are going to stop it," he shouted.
Forces Roll Call.
Representative Mary T. Norton.
chairman Of the District Legislative
Committee, who described the bill as
courageous, forced a roll call vote
before final passage so she could shout
a loud no to show her dissatisfac-
ton.
Final discussion on the bill was
marked by renewed clash between
Blanton and Representative Zion-
check, Democrat. of Washington, and
protest by Minority Leader Smell
against insinuations he said had been
made on the floor against DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent of schools.
There were certain insinuations
made on the floor of the House late
yesterday against DR.. Ballou, perhaps
on the ground that he favored COM
munism," said Smell. Il do not know
anything about the facts and about
communism in the schools. But I
have known DR.. Ballou since boyhood.
know his whole family history
There is nothing in the history of the
whole family to lead any one to be-
lieve he has any such tendencies"
Blanton. in reply, suggested that
members Of the House read DR.. Bal
LOUIS testimony before the subcom-
mittee during hearings on the bill
and draw their own conclusions.
Blanton Hits Verbally.
The skirmish between Zioncheck
and Blanton followed the formers
charge that Washington police are
prosecuting" taxicab drivers. Zion
check made a muf1ed remark and a
few minutes later Blanton arose and
said:
THE subcommittee pays no atten-
ton to the gibes from the gentleman
from Washington. Last year he did
good work.. But now We feel sorry
for him. Something seems to have
gone wrong with him."
Blanton, subsequently, also disclosed
why his subcommittee had slashed
81 900 of the salary of DR.. Edgar A.
Bocock, superintendent of Gallinger
Municipal Hospital. He explained that
DR.. Bocock, in addition to his $500

given quarters and board free.
why, he's better off than we men,
bers of Congress-" Blanton shouted
again. TT costs us $4,000 to get
elected to come here. I'm so poor
now that have to sell piece of
property every two years to live here" "
And as a final shot before passage
of the bill, Blanton challenged the
Washington newspapers, which he
has charged with standing in his way,
to print the tax payments of a num-
ber of leading residents which ap-
peared in the record of the hearings.
