will be to answer the assault charge of
Mr. Hendy. whose divorce from his wife

There are three distinct schools of
thought about the origins of Mohammed
al Rashid.
The first holds that born in Turkey
of unknown but undoubtedly humble
parents, he sneaked into this country
around 1910 - at the age of Is - without
the blessing of emigration officials. whom
he has been playing hide and seek with
ever since.
The second school asserts that, Just
preceding his climb to prominence, he was
pants presser, working in London
sweatshop. There he was known as j. A.
Bonsou, and there according to this view,
he conceived the scheme of palming him.
self off on the world as the Emir of
Kurdestan.
The fact that Kurdestan is a district
of Persia, without an independent ruler,
did not bother him because he figured that
it was so far away that nobody would
know about it,
The third school Of thought is his own.
This seems to have undergone several
changes through the years. For instance,
in 1921, he appeared in Washington, d. c.,
calling himself Prince Zerdecheno Moham-
med Saide son of the ruler of Kurdestan
and descendant of the rulers of Egypt.
In this capacity he later called at the
White House and was solemnly received
by President Harding.
Also in this capacity he was convicted
of swindling by a Paris court and tossed
into the clink.
In 1924 he was deported from this country
England on the ground that he was not the
mir Of Kurdestan, that he was just an
len without an immigration visa.
He came back the following year, still
aiming to be the Emir, and this time was
eported to Turkey.
After another sojourn in a French hoose-
Nv tfor forging passport and represent
* himself falsely to be a member of the
egion of HONOR, he returned here under
lie name Of Mohammed Pacha, allegedly
French Army officer of the Syrian race.
Faced now with deportation to Syria, he
iddenly switched his story claiming for the
rst time to have been born in this country,
Detroit, of aristocratic Turkish parents,
no happened to be passing through.
But he was deported anyway.
A month later he was back. under the
anne of Mohammed al Rashid, insisting that
e had been done an injustice, that he really
ad been born in Detroit. So there was
mother long legal wrangle and finally his
aim was allowed to stand.
Maybe his current exposure to the spot
ght will reattract the attention of the emf
ration authorities; or, maybe, through weari-
ess or the conviction that he is right, they
ave washed their hands Of him for good.
With the world as it is, 1t would be quite a
roblem to know where TO send him today.
South America might be possibility, but
here's the Good Neighbor Policy, Of course,
nd this scarcely seems to be the time to
,opardize that.

emotion by saying:

The letter seemed to con-

 Announcement in Chungking that Chinese forces have entered Burma to fight under British command and 8 statement by the Malayan com- mand that considerable help" is en- route for imperial forces. !!
 There was no indication when the grand allied announcement might be expected but it was believed to be imminent.
 It was expected that the United States, Britain, Russia and China would be the principal signatories of the pact with 20-odd other anti Axis nations joining them.
 Those Who Will Sign
 Informants said the agreement would most likely be signed by the United States, Great Britain, Rus sia and China and that about 20 other anti-Axis powers were expect ed to join 1t.
 The reported agreement was de- scribed as a transformation of the agreement reached by the president and the prime minister at their Att lantic conference last summer into a world freedom agreement.
 It was said that the agreement would be expected to reaff1rm the Atlantic agreement, including its peace aims, thus indentifying all new signatories with the eight basic Atlantic principles.
 The prospective agreement, 1t was added, would commit all signers to fight until victory.
 All signatories, it was believed in well informed quarters here, would be obligated to use their armed power and their economic resources to the full to achieve victory.
 America, Britain, Russia and China would be the "big four" signatories

THREE GUARDS IN

(COIlLluueQ rom Page II through the prison buildings which lasted nearly two hours yesterday.
 The pair, welding chisels and iron bars in their murderous dash for freedom, raced through the entire building followed by 20 staet troopers and 200 prison guards amid tear-gas and the acrid smoke from 40 mat tresses fired by the fugitives.
 Grained One Guard
 Willard and Sheppard, both serv- ing "indeterminate life sentences, were detailed to help Guard Franklin L. Weston, 63, do odd jobs. Seizing a 25-pound bootjack, they brained Weston and fled to the second GOT where George Landry, GA, of Whit man attempted to halt them.
 Both men hacked him with chisels and, retareating to the third floor, buldgeoned Howrad w. Murphy. 48, to death. Other guards sounde a riot call and the frenzied chase be- gan.
 Running wild through the institu- tion, the fleeing pair baked pursuers time after time by barricading doors with beds which they pulled from cells. They set fire to the mattresses and partly blinded pursuers.
 On the fourth floor they found an institution hose line which they played in turns on tiremen fighting the numerous fires and the police men and prison guards chasing them.
 A telephone call to Camp Edwards brought gas masks to the hospital and the police closed in.
 The pair was trapped in a fourth floor cell. Chisels were thrown at the policemen, but they held their ground and ordered Willard and Sheppard to come out on their hands and knees.
 Troopers Downed Them
 There was no response-then the two killers lunged through the smoke straight at police, welding more chisels. Trooper Raymond J. Moran crashed his riot gun on Millard'S skull and then slugged Sheppard, splintering the stock of his weapon.
 Others bounced on the pair and they were taken to the prison hos pital Willard had been shot ii, the chest and he and his companion were given the last rites of the church. but it was believed both wuold live.
 Because of the number of heavy tools the pair toted, officials believed it possible wholesale break had been planned.
 District-Attorney Edmund R. Dew ing, Investigating the case, backed up Supt. James E. Warren in his con- tention that the hospital was over- crowded and insufficiently guarded.
 He criticized the institutions set up and said the main trouble was that the state didn't pay enough wages to attract young, capable men to the jobs. Guards at Bridg wat ter get from $16 to SPA week.
