MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va. April 80
Warden c. F. McClintic of West Vir-
ginia Penitentiary said today the at
tempted prison break there yesterday
involved only the four convicts who
were shot by the guards. Three Of the
four are dead.
Quiet prevailed today among the
1900 other prisoners, many of whom
witnessed the dash by the four in a
truck toward a prison gate. Machine
gun and rifle bullets from the guards
guns stopped the fugitives.
The warden said an investigation
would be unnecessary. He added:
1T all happened in the daylight.
There's nothing to investigate. There
Is no danger of other breaks being
attempted as result of yesterdays
incident"
Prison physicians said there was
some possibility of saving the life Of
Roy Altizer, %, the only survivor of
the four convicts.
Prison guards, tipped concerning a
plot. shot the men after they had
slashed a construction superintendent
and broken through the gates of an
inner wall late yesterday afternoon.
Ralph Richards, "a, and Clifford
Stewart, 20, were found dead near the
truck, which overturned. Both men
were serving terms for robbery.
Harry Battle, 38, colored, sentenced
to life Imprisonment as habitual
criminal, died two hours later
Harry Strealy, experimenting the
building of q new wall, was slashed
with 4 knife and clubbed over the
head as he tried to climb aboard the
truck and halt the prisoners dash.
Warden c. F. McClintic, away at the
time, praised the deputy wardens and
guards for the fine manner" in which
they handled the situation.
He began an inquiry into the at
tempted escape.
More than 1500 other prisoners
watched the wild dash of the truck
and the fusillade of shot from the yard
In which they had been sent for the
afternoon recreational period.
They huddled in groups near the
scone walls during the firing and not a
guard or prisoner. except those par
tlcipating in the break, was injured.
Deputy Warden c. M. Stone said the
convicts had commandeered the truck
from Robert White, 4 trusty.
He said Richards showed an impro-
vised knife into Whites back and
forced him from the drivers seat, then
Grove the machine toward the big in.
rer gate IS feet from the outer wall.
The guards bullets forced Richards
to turn the truck from the gate. He
sMmped over in his seat.

LONDON, April 80 R.-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told the

Britain is considering possible chan
nels of action to prevent Spanish
insurgents from destroying the be-
sieged Basque capital OF Bilbao.
He spoke in answer to a question
Of whether he had seen a reported
declaration by Gen. Emilio Mola, in
surgent northern commander that
his force intended to "raze Bilbao
to the ground" and whether he would
consult other neutral nations to pre-
vent such action.

Corps ofiicers believe the sinking was
not due to bomb explosions directly,
but to boiler or magazine explosion

It was reported that the Spanish
government planes attacked with only
l10-pound bombs, which, in the opin-
ion Of Air Corps officers, would not be
sufficiently destructive to inf1ict more
than superficial damage. No Air Corps
attack, even to disable anti-aircraft

SAFETY TIRES
GIVEN TEST

Watching a speeding automo'
bile come roaring down the high
way-hearing a tire blow out
waiting for the, car to crash In
the ditch-breathing a sigh Of re-
lief when nothing happens, ard
the driver brings the car to a
safe stop.
That will be the experience Of
Washington residents next Tues.
day and Wednesday, according to
Mr.. Rynerson, manager Of Good
year Service.
The demonstration, which will
be conducted on the runway Of tile
Washington Airport, adjacent to
the Goodyear Blimp ticket office,
according to Mr.. RynerSon, will
concluSively prove that blowouts
need cause no damage. 1t will
show, he says, that a speeding car
may be brought to safe stop after
q blowout, instead of crashing
into the ditch or oncoming traffic.
Secret of the demonstration is
the fact that the cars will be
mounted on Goodyear Life Guard
tubes, Mr.. Rynerson said. The
Life Guard tube is in reality a
tire within tube. An outer con
ventional tube contains an Inner
tire" both being joined at the
base. A simple tiny vent allows
air to pass from the outer tube
to the inner tire, and when a
blowout occurs, air escapes in
Stantly from the outer tube, but
can escape from the inner tire
only through the tiny vent. This
means that the outer casing drops
about an inch to ride on the inner
tire, while the driver brings the
car to a safe stop without a
Swerve.

Commissioner Discusses Unemployment COnlpen-
 tiOn in New England

Hartford, Oct. 6.--After discussing together the provisions of the indi- vidual state laws on unemployment compensation in New England the members of the Regional Interstate Conference of Unemployment Com pensation Administrators have adopted a simple explanation of Unemployment Compensation in New England" This explanation was made public today by Com missioner Joseph M.

 "The first general rule is that if you work for an employer who is subject to the unemployment con1- pensation law of your state, you are entitled to unemployment benefits under certain conditions, when you become unemployed. Money collect ed under this law is pooled in a fund from which benefits will be payable to you during jobless periods in proportion to your previous earn ings.
