BALTIMORE, Oct. 1O.-Rut-
gers Harold Conners ran back
the opening kickoff SO yards for
a touchdown and Bella Rieger
added the extra point to give the
Scarlet a TO lead over Maryland
in the seventh game of their
gridiron series this afternoon. A
stalwart line protected that mar
gin throughout the first half.
Neither team threatened there
after in the first two periods, in
which the Old Liners showed con-
slderably more offensive power than
the foe but lacked a scoring punch.
Maryland chalked up four first
downs to Rutgers two, most OF them
made on reasonably long gains.
Maryland tossed away one oppor-
tunity in the second period after
Tommy Mont recovered a Rutgers
tumble on the Jersey eleven's 35-
yard stripe when George Barnes
fumbled on the first running play
and Greenberg recovered for the
Scarlet.
First Quarter.
Billy Byrd kicked off to Harold
Conners, who took the ball on the
5-yard line, fumbled, picked it up on
the 2, and raced through the entire
Maryland team 81 yards for touch
down. Bella Rieger kicked the extra
point. Rutgers 7, Maryland O.
Riegers' kickoff went to Monk
Mier, who returned 80 yards to
Maryland's 35. Wright came
through the line for yards but

Greenberg recovered for the Scarlet

Corners and Reiger failed to gain
in thrusts at the line but Ratti

Maryland's "a. Maryland's line

corded the seven desperate Grim
inals who made a sensational
break for freedom yesterday.
Gov Dwight Green, ordering a
complete investigation, spent two
hours at the prison today. The
States huge mobile crime labora-
tory rolled up and lie-detector tests
were made on two inmate truck
drivers.
Rogert Touhy, a leader of the
Terrible Touhy" gang of un-
lamented memory in Chicago's mob
days, went over the wall with one
of his most vicious henchmen, Basil
(the OwD Banghart. Both had
been sentenced to SO years for the
$4,000 kidnapping of John (Jake
the Barber) Factor in 1888.
Their five companions in the
break were lesser known but almost
equally desperate long -termers. Two
guards and one civilian employe
were wounded In the convicts' dash,
in which five of them fled in a
guards car which had been parked
outside the walls.
Leonard Keeler, a lie detector
specialist, questioned two inmate
drivers of garbage truck which
the fugitives used to carry ladders
to the walls.
He told Warden E. M. Stubble-
field that Prisoner Jack Cito, who
was assigned to driving the truck
inside the walls. probably was tell
ing the truth, but tests of the second
prisoner-unnamed-who drove the
garbage truck outside the. walls,
were unsatisfactory. Further ques-
tioning was ordered.
Prison officials believed the fleeing
desperadoes carried at least three
weapons. They inspected the gar
bage truck carefully on the suppose
ton that these guns might have
been carried inside the walls in it.
Intensive Manhunt On.
1t was uncertain whether all
seven of the fugitives, or only five,
scaled the walls en- masse. Some
guards believed the seven went over

Tool Workers
Given 10-Cent
Boost by WLb
Ford, 6. NJ, ChrysIer
Captive Shops in
Detroit Affected
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
! The War Labor Board today
granted an increase of 10 cents
an hour to tool and die workers
of the captive shops of the
Ford Motor Co., the General Mo-
tors Corp. and the Chrysler Corp.
at Detroit.
,, This increase, the board said,
would be actually cents an hour
for such workers in the General
Motors and Chrysler plants. The
latter recently received a general
increase of 4 cents an hour.
The wage increase was described
as move to stabilize the tool and
die industry in the Detroit area.
Other actions taken by the board
in the same industry included
Refusal of general wage increase
to the tool and die makers employed
in the 80 job shops represented by
the Automotive Tool and Die Asso-
citation.
Ceiling Also Set.
Placing of ceiling of SITS an
hour over the rates of tool and die
makers in the job shops to stop
the upward spiral of these rates.
which has already created serious
inequalities between these rates and
those in the captive shops of the
three large motor companies
The board said that no wages
would be reduced because of this
ceiling, which is designed. it said,
to cut down pirating of workers be-
tween shops.
The board said that no one now
making less than SITS an hour may
get wage increase above the SITS
maximum.
The United Automobile Workers
of America, CIO, which represented
the $4,000 employees involved in to-
days order, had asked increases of
approximately 40 to As cents an hour
in the captive shop cases and IS
cents an hour in the job ship case.
The union also asked a complete
abolition OF the differential between
the JOB and captive shops. The
board, however, refused to narrow
the differential to less than its ap-
proxin1ate peacetime level.
Minimum Increased.
The board also increased the con-
tract minimum for the 5000 tool
and die makers in the job shops
from $140 to $50 an hour.
In addition to the general wage
increase ordered for the 10000 en-
ployes in the captive shops of the
three motor companies, the board
set new minimum rates for die
makers of lao an hour where the
present minimum Is $125 or $13O,
and, for those cases where the pres
ent minimum are less than $1.25 it
raised the rates by Is cents an hour.
New maximum rates for the captive
shops were established at 20 cents
an hour above the new minimum
rates. Other minimum and maxi
mum rates are to be adjusted in
conformity with changes in the die
makers classif1cat tion.-
The captive shops are owned by
the motor companies which use the
output for their own purposes.
