SHADES:
OF GnngdOn1 DAYS

Shades of Chicago's sizzling gang
dom fell over that city again as
Roger ("Terrible") Touhy and six
other convicts shot their way out of
the Illinois Statewide prison in one
of the most daring and brazen es-
capes in crime annals. With Touhy
was his old gangland aid, Basil
(''The Owl'') Banghart, an extreme
ly dangerous criminal. The pair
had been in prison since 1888 when
they were convicted for the kidnap-
ing of John wJake the Barber')
Factor.
State officials began an immediate
investigation of the break to deter
mine the manner in which the con-
victs had been aided from the out
side. Early in the inquiry Governor
Dwight Green of Illinois issued a
statement TO the effect that: 'There
is no doubt that guns were snug
gled in from the outside
AS a ''kill or capture" hunt was
launched on an intensive scale
throughout the Midwest, some de-
tails of the break were made public.
It was revealed that Touhy and the
others grabbed a prison garbage
truck, drove across the prison yard,
threw a rope ladder across the
wall, shot and wounded a tower
guard. Then they seized his car
keys, fled down the towers stairs to
the outside and sped away in the
guards car.
The wounded guard was the first
to be questioned by officials after the
break and was subjected to a lie-de-
tector test.
Later the escape car was discov-
cred in Villa Park, a Chicago SUBJ
urb, but reports from various points
in the Midwest indicated that pos
sibly the convicts had split up and
made for other sections of the coun-
try.
During the first three days follow
ing the break the convicts were re-
ported seen at points in at least six
states-Illinois Iowa, Minnesota, In
diana, Michigan and Wisconsin.

TIRES FOR ALL:
Is OPA Program

A national stock pile of "all the
idle passenger car tires in the coun-
try must be created if the govern
ment's plan to provide tires for all
essential mileage is successful,
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son has announced.
The stock pile is necessary to car
ry out the following five steps in the
government plan:
1. Rationing of used tires and re-
caps, and new tires now in stock.
2. Actual control Of each cars
mileage through the rationing of
gasoline.
8. Compulsory periodic inspection
of all tires to guard against abuse.
4. Denial of gasoline and tire re-
placements to drivers who persist
emily violate the national 35-mile-an-
hour speed limit.

Green said. ''That would only wild
en- the breach between the AFL and

Asked to comment on a Lewis
statement that general peace con-
ference of all labor groups, called
by President Roosevelt, would be
constructive, Green said:
'Such a conference would only in
ject into the peace negotiations new
difficulties. I think that we can
have labor peace without Lewis. "
He said Lewis "seems to be crea-
tor with a faculty of destroying the
things he creates"

CHINA:
End of q System

On the eve of embattled China's
national anniversary celebration,
citizens Of that country had some
thing to cheer about besides the
valiant efforts of their armies
against the invading Japs. This was
the announcement by Great Britain
and the United States that these
countries were taking prompt steps
to abolish the system of extra-terri-
torial rights enjoyed in China for al
most a century.
In the United States, this infor-
nation was communicated to Chi
nese Ambassador Wei Tao-Ming by
the state department. Under the ex-
tra-territorial rights system, U. S.
and British citizens enjoyed certain
privileges, among them the right of
their court for offenses committed
in Chinese territory.
Usually crimes and misdemeanors
Of foreigners in another country are
tried under the courts and laws of
the nation in which they occur.
While the practical effect of the
adjustment of the extraterritorial
system is not great, it represents a
great forward step in China's cam
paign to obtain equal rating in world
affairs and rank itself with interna-
tional powers.

RUSSIAN FRONT:
MOUement' to Position

Military experts we're describing
the fighting on the Russian battle
front as that in-between period"
during which Adolf Hitler's forces
were struggling against time and
weather that will soon turn this fight
ing from a war of movement to
war of position.
Stalingrad had been heap Of rub
BILE for days before the Nazis de-
clared that frontal attacks on it had
ended. There was still heavy street
fighting, however, and the outskirts
of the vital Volga river port were
witnessing some of the severest
losses ever afforded Nazi military
might.
AS they stood before Moscow a
year ago and waited for the coming
of the harsh Russian winter, SO
Joseph Stalin's army had made its
stand within the city that bears his
name. There were reports that be-
cause of this stand the main weight
of the Nazi power in Russia was be-
ing shifted to the Caucasus.
Though this shift appeared to be
temporary, official Moscow sources
were reporting local successes in
crushing stubborn Axis resistance
southeast of Novorossisk, an impor-
tant locality. With the Grozny oil
fields as their current objective, the
Nazis continued to drive forward in
that area.
In the Baltic sea, Russian war
ships sank five Nazi transports and
Moscow sources claimed that the
Soviet marines on the ships of the
Volga had aided materially in the
defense of Stalingrad.

PROTEST.:
From, Chile

Chilean Ambassador to the United
States, Rodolfo Michels, was not long
in fling a formal protest to state
ment by Sumner Welles, undersec-
rotary of state, which said that Axis
agents were operating in Chile and
Argentina.
Michels and Welles later met with
President Roosevelt. Following this,
Michels emphasized that this con-
ference was most cordial. If so,
this was deemed highly favorable to
continued good relations between
the countries inasmuch as Chile's
president, Juan Rios, was expected
soon to arrive in Washington on a
state visit.

CEILINGS:
Up q Bit

From the Office of Price Admins
tration came details of new formu-
la to raise somewhat the prices in
IL major groups of foods. Such &C.
ton was declared to be necessary
because of the difference between
prices charged by various dealers
at the time the original price cell
ings were applied. Some inequali-
ties between wholesale and retail
prices were found to be working
hardships on dealers.
However the expected increases
were not expected to be very large.
One or two cents per item was esti-
mated as the possible increase.
Affected were prices on canned
vegetables, canned fish, sugar, cof-
fee, dried fruits, breakfast cereals,
cooking and salad oils, rice, lard,
hydrogenated shortening and other
shortening. Use of the new ceiling
is optional on all items except lard
and dried fruits; on these it is COM
pulsory.

 In World War
 A man of attractive personality Dr. Finney had innumerable friends and was honored in Baltimore and elsewhere as were few other sur geons.
 In the World War pr. Finney rose to the rank of brigadier-general in the Medical Corps, being chief con- sultant in surgery to the American Expeditionary Force in France. A year after the war he received from the hands of Secretary of War New ton D. Baker the Distinguished Service Medal, along with two other eminent figures at Johns Hopkins Dr. Hugh H. Young and pr. William H. Thayer.
 Summoned to White House
 At the height of his career Dr. Finney was the last resort in many desperate cases of surgery, patients being brought from distant sections of the country. When President Roosevelt's daughter. Alice, later Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. was stricken with appendicitis Dr. Fin ney was summoned to the White House. He was at the beside oi James G. Good when the Secretary of War died in 1929
 Often referred to as native oi Maryland, pr. Finney actually was born in Mississippi, on June 20, 1863 but his parents returned to Mary land when he was an infant. His father was Ebenezer D. Kinney, g Presbyterian minister and the sor of a Presbyterian minister, and his mother was Mrs. Annie L. Parker Finney.
 He was educated in the public schools of Harford County, Mary land, and was graduated in 1884 from Princeton University, where ht made a name as an athlete, playing at end and tackle on the football team. Five years later he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Harvard Medical School, and the same year went to Baltimore. Clinical Professor
 The development of the surgical dispensary at Johns Hopkins, of which he had charge almost from the start, was credited to Dr. Fin ney, and years later he became clinical professor of surgery.
 An extraordinary feature of Dr. Finney's career, the fact that he could find time from his practice for many interests outside of his profession, was often remarked. He was an elder in the Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church, served without pay on the Baltimore city school board, took active part in several political campaigns, was president at different times of two national surgical associations, was ardently devoted to his family, was a great reader, and was in constant demand as a public speaker
 Moderate Fees
 Yet at the height of his career calls were made continually on him as a surgeon, and his associates es- timated his practice was worth $l00,000 a year, though he was re- puted to charge moderate fees.
 Dr. Finney on April 20, 1892, mar ried Miss Mary E. Gross, of Harris burg, Pa, graduate nurse at Johns Hopkins. His choice of a nurse for his wife was like that of many of his distinguished confreres. They had four children, John Miller Train, Eben Dickey, George Gross, a,,d N6o,.x, U71i1o lnoth
