AS for the Republicans, the last

there, Gov. Landon, far in front of
his rivals, but with his reliance
largely upon favorable delegates
who will go to the convention NOM

Senator Borah, disappointed, dis
gruntled and bitter, nurses his
wrath over his defeats at the hands
of regular Republican organizations
and ponders whether he will bolt
the party he has followed so long

U.S.. Foils Jail-Break Plots
By Checking Up in Counties

Partly completed keys found in
other tails were made from spoons
and knives stolen from the mess hall.
One convict had filed saw teeth in
a table knife in the obviously forlorn
hope of saving through the bars OF
his cell.
Among weapons found were: Stilet-
tos and dirks made from scissors
blades, table knives ground to fine
point, forks and pieces Of steel win
dow easement.
Blackjacks made from weighted
pieces Of bed springs, iron pipe and
boot-shop leather sewed into club
shape and filled with plaster.
Steel "knuckles" fashioned from a
piece of steel window stripping. bent
into a loop and wrapped on the grip
side with cloth.
There was also a sling-Shot, made
from bent wire and long rubber bands.
It's owner confessed he had been shoot
ing notes out the window to confeder-
ates on the street.
Apparently most of the key notches
were cut with safety razor blades,
fitted with improvised wooden handles.
Such a blade was found in tie cell
of a prisoner who had beer at work
on a key.
Some Of the articles represented
long hours of tedious work by pris-
oners. For example, one convict had
cut grooves in piece Of iron, to make
it fit into the intricate zig-zag key
hole of his cell door. This must have
required weeks, probably months OF
patient labor in odd moments.
Bates said only contant surveillance
of jails and prisons can prevent at
tempted escapes.
Some convicts, especially those in
for long terms, are always thinking
up plans for getting out" he said.
That is why we have regular in
spections, and usually we find evi-
dence of plotting

Federal prison inspectors, just re-
turned from tour OF county Jais
with grim evidence Of frustrated
break" plots at several points, have
ended possibility of nocturnal round
trip excursions from a Kentucky jail
by convict facing execution for muir
der.
Included in a deadly array of i'm
provised dirks, blackjacks and keys
brought back to Washington by the
inspectors is an expertly fashioned
aluminium key which, its owner de-
clared, had enabled him to visit friends
on the outside on several occasions.
The key was found to work perfect
ly in the lock to the prisoners cell,
but Jail officials discredit the mans
story of trips outside the jail. They
cannot believe that man confronted
with the death penalty would return
to his cell, once he had gained lib
erty.
The name of the Jail and identity
of the prisoner are being withheld
by the Federal Prisons Bureau. The
Federal inspectors made the discover
les during routine tour of inspec-
ton of county jails in which certain
Federal prisoners are being boarded" {"
due to lack of Federal facilities.
Sanford Bates, Federal director OF
prisons, said the weapons and keys
were found with the cooperation OF
local jail officials" The articles were
found in jails in West Virginia,
Georgia and Kentucky, he said.
Many Of the devices attest the
craftsmanship and ingenuity Of con-
victs intent on making a break for
liberty.
Only the timely discovery Of the
keys and weapons forestalled prob
able disorders Of serious nature at
several of the jails, authorities here
believe.
In one prisoners cell was found a
remarkable wooden key. with extern
sion arms designed to operate it
around a corner This key. too, was
tried by the prison inspector and
found to be effective. The prisoner
had not used it because his plans for
escaping were not complete. In his
cell were found more than a dozen
wooden patterns which he had whit
tied as models for the completed key.

from the pact, France would have
only Britain and Italy among big
powers to look to for future plans
concerning the collective security Of
Europe.
France has a mutual assistance
~pact with Russia, but the Kremlin was
gravely concerned last night, express
ing belief the Belgian reflections
would cause France to build an en-
tirely new fortifcation system for her
northern frontiers.
II Belgium, as was predicted au-
thoritatively, curtails her support of
other League nations, France would
be further isolated internationally.
Great Britain and Russia would be
the only other European first-rank
powers left backing League decisions.
Germany is no longer a member.
Italy did not participate in the last
Assembly because the League men,
4bers shifted the Ethiopian question
into the next session.
Italy Spurns League.
Mussolini has made plain Italians
would not sit in League meetings until
italian annexation of Ethiopia is
recognized officially.
Present indications are that full
hearted Italian support Of the League
is at best problem for the future.
France is not alone in being graVely
worried over the ultimate results OF
little Belgium's course.
Great Britain, seeking to weld the
increasingly divergent political camps
of Europe into Semblance of unity
hopes to devise ways and means of
bolstering the collective security treaty
4 network.
In the past she has pinned most OF
her faith on the League and the Lo-
carno pact. Russia, likewise, is deeply
concerned with developments.
Russia's potential military enemies
are Japan, Germany and Italy-espe-
cially Germany, where Chancellor Hit.
, Ter and his highest subalterns have
delivered unceasing anti-Bolshevist
TRADES.
Russians fear also that Spanish
Fascists might emerge victorious soon
in the civil war.
Should the Fascists win the civi
war, the Russians fear a government
would be set up in Spain that would
be pro-German and pro-Italian.
