800 Confined 10 Cells
In Wisconsin Prison

BY the Associated Press.
WAUPUN, Wis, Jan. l7.-Another
outburst of rebellion along the four
TERED cellblock of Wisconsin's State
Prison early today brought orders
from Warden l.. F. Murphy for what
officials termed IAN unprecedented
prison-wide shakedown" that will
cover every inmate.
None of 800 prisoners will be re-
leased from confinement until COM
plete reports have been made on
each individual, the warden de-
clared.
Each cell will be inspected COM
pletely to determine damage in
flicted during the sporadic three-day
disturbance in which prisoners
smashed windows and furniture and
scattered debris as far as they could
throw between the bars, Warden
Murphy said.
Quiet was restored last night by
turning off the lights. Warden
Murphy said he did not believe the
"rumpuS" was spontaneous. but that
1t was headed by 40 or so ring
leaders.
The warden had said men would
be released from cell blocks grad
ually, but then late last night an
other outbreak was staged and the
warden issued his shake down
orders.

New Offer 10 Yield
Lepke 10 New York
Is Made by BiddIe
Py the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Attorney General Bddle has made
a new conditional offer to release
Louis Nepke) Buchalter. convicted
leader Of Murder, Inc, to the State
of New York, which has a death
sentence pending against nm.
The conditions, it was disclosed
today, boil down to this: The State
Of New York will be given full
authority and control" over Buc-
halter for purposes of State clem-
ency hearing, but If the clemency
hearing results in setting aside his
death sentence, he must be returned
to Federal authorities to complete
the 14-year Federal sentence he is
now serving for narcotics law vio-
lations.
Mr.. Biddle's proposition is in
tended to meet the objections of
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York
to passing on a petition for clem-
ency without having Buchalter in
State custody.
The New York Governor and the
Attorney General have argued for
months over the proper procedure
and Gov. Dewey has postponed the
scheduled execution several times
on the ground that President Roose-
velt had failed to surrender the
prisoner ito be dealt with In ac-
cordance with law"
Mr.. Biddle, on the other hand, has
contended that Buchalter should
complete his Federal sentence in
the event there is to be a COM
mutation of the death sentence.
Gov. Dewey had suggested con-
ditional" Federal pardon for Buc-
halter. Mr.. Biddle took the posi-
ton, however, that such a pardon
would remove Lepke permanently
from Federal control.

wear ana tear and took q chance
on escaping trouble.
T. H. Mack, company personnel
director, wrote an urgent letter to
the regional War Labor Board,
pointing out that the women refused
to spend ration stamps to buy
sensible factory shoes"
THE practice Of wearing ancient
dancing pumps, slippers, old street
shoes and unrationed shoes is" Mr..
Mack said, extremely hazardous
almost as hazardous as weaving no
shoes at all, which, as a matter
OF fact, has actually happened"
The board, acting on a company
proposal to furnish its own safety
shoes, ruled the plan could not be
regarded as an indirect wage in
crease--a point in question-and
approved it.
The Detroit Once of Price Ad-
ministf alton helped out by permit
