 According to Charge
Bv RICHARD DE BROWN

United Press Stan correspondent
 Washington, Jan. 13.-(UP)-The joint Congressional economy com mittee will begin an investigation next week of alleged use of govern ment automobiles for wining, dining and shopping expeditions, 1t was learned today.
 The committee, headed by Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va, will call of- ficials of the Office of Price Admin .stration, Office of Defense Trans portation, the Budget Bureau, and General Accounting Office to learn whether adequate checks are made to guard against waste of gasoline and rubber by unnecessary driving of government-owned cars.
 The committee is completing a survey on the use of government passenger cars and trucks since Feb- ruary, 1942, when a similar report was drawn up. Questionnaires sent to all of the 81 federal agencies are being tabulated to show the number of cars and trucks operated, oper- ating costs, miles travelled, number of tires held, gasoline used; names and salaries of chauffeurs, and the names of officials to whom cars were assigned.
 The committees last report, pre- sented in the Senate last May, showed that 18,948 government pas senger cars travelled 147 7,659, ,279 miles during the first eigh months of the fiscal year of 1942 at 8 cost of $S,- S34 312, counting only such items as tires and gasoline and not the orig inal cost of the cars.
 To drive the cars, 522 full-time chauffeurs and $40 part-time chauf- feurs were employed at total sal- ary of $1, ,090,643. That report brought comments from various senators which indicate what the reception of the new survey will be next week should it show governmental waste of tires and gasoline.

in at 20 feet, doing 200 miles per
hour, flying through intensive fax
and bouncing around between oil
fires.
"Our particular targets were the
Orion and Astra Romano refineries.
They had smokestacks about 2lO
feet high. SO we had to climb to
about $50 feet to drop our bombs.
Flames were biting in through the
bomb bay doors, the heavy smoke
fires made visibility difficult and
the fax fire was beating a hellish
tattoo all over our ship. We laid
our bombs down the middle.
After the bombs were away, we
dropped back to 20 feet and about
so ME-109s and l10s jumped on us
from the right We were flying so
low they couldn't dive on us, but
they did lazy eights all over our
formation and caused us plenty Of
trouble"

Two Prisoners, One a LITER
Flee MARYLAND Prison

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-Two pris-
oners, one serving life sentence
for killing a Jail turnkey in 1919,
scaled a 20-foot wall and escaped
from the Maryland Penitentiary
during a rainstorm yesterday.
Warden Patrick J. Brady said
the men were last seen climbing
into a moving milk truck, and the
driver reported he took them to
Mercy Hospital. Both were in
jured, but neither entered the hos
pital
Mr.. Brady identified the "lifer"
as Frank Wozniak, 81, Russian-bo
convict, who shot and killed Turn
key John Lanahan in the old Cen
tral Police Station on July 3, 1919
He was paroled in 1885, but later
arrested in Washington, Pa, on a
charge of violating the firearms law
and was returned to prison.
Wozniak's companion in the es-
cape, the warden reported, was
Joseph Mahuki, 43, sentenced at
Hagerstown in 1910 to seven years
for robbery.
They made their escape by fash
ioning q sort of rope of windowsash
chains and upholstery webbing, add
ing q hook which held the makeshift
b the wall.

"The screen was directly oppo-
site Knowles, sir"
Sir Oscar raised his voice:
THAT Is not what I asked. Was
any one guarding the screen itself?"
mo, your honor"
Special Prosecutor A. r. Adderley
arose to comment, in connection
with Capt. Melchen's inability to say
what was used to start the fire, that
a matchstick probably would disap-
pear in the bed fire or In q large
carpet fire.
The jury foreman asked:
Gould the accused, In going up
and downstairs, possibly come in
contact with that screen?"
mo. sir" replied Capt. Melchen
firmly.
Gould the. clothes given you by
the accused have been used the
night before?"
mo. sir"
Capt. Melchen had testified that
De Marigny was unable to produce
the shirt he told OF wearing the
night Of the staying. The detective
said the trousers and coat which
the accused man declared he wore
were perfectly pressed and the
crease OF the trousers was not dis
turbed.
Capt. Melchen estimated that one
quart to three pints Of high-octane
gasoline was used by the attacker
In setting the fire in the bedroom.
The attempt at arson was very
clumsy. he added.

Barker used and inquired Of Capt.
Melchen:
Have you a good memory or not3"
Marigny Picks Teeth.
He brought out that Capt. Melchen
had discussed his testimony Of yes
terday with Attorney General Eric
Hallinan in the presence Of Capt.
Barker.
Jurors whispered among them
selves and De Marigny settled back
in the prisoners dock and picked his
teeth with a match.
Defense Attorneys Godfrey Higgs
and w. E..A. Calender arose several
times as though to speak but did not
do so.
The appearance Of Capt. Barker,
who was trained by the United
States Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton, became of paramount i'm
portance because Of Capt. Melchen's
testimony that he himself knew
nothing about the flngerprint until
later.
The justice turned to the subject
of the fire which was started by the
attacker after Sir Harry was struck
on the head. Apparently the plan
was to hide the crime.
He brought from Capt. Melchen
the opinion that the fire was start
ed in Sir Harry's bed and the slay-
er then threw an inflammable liquid
around the room and the adjacent
hallway.
Asks About Spray Gun.
"Was the insecticide spray gun in
evidence used?" Sir oscar asked.
II don't think So"
"If the spray gun were not used,
some other receptacle must have
been?"
Yes"
Capt. Melchen said he was un-
able to say whether match or a
torch was used to start the fire.
ANY one setting the fire ran
grave risk of burning himself?"
Yes, sir"
Capt. Melchen has testified that
burned hairs were found on De
Marigny's hands and forearms and
in the Van Dyke beard he wore at
the time.
JL>3e Warns Witness.
The justice required Capt. Mel
chen to tell exactly how he took De
Marigny upstairs July 8, warning:
1T you don't remember, say So
You have made one mistake al
ready"
Capt. Melchen said Corpl. Knowles
of the Nassau constabulary was
guarding the door to Sir Harry'sl
bedroom.
Was anybody guarding the bed
