Begin Own Reforms.
Refusing to await a report on the
Jailbreak, expected today from a
board of inquiry, high District Off
cials Immediately began instituting
reforms of their own, including:
/. Transfer of four convicted MUIR
derers from on ordinary cell block to
the deathhouse, long closed because
of a shortage of guards.
2. Assignment of SO metropolitan
policemen as guards at the Jail until
the state of emergency is over, with
two guards keeping the deathhouse
under constant surveillance.
3. An order from the Welfare
Board to "curtail activities at the
jail not essential to safe custody and
to curtail procedures to fit the per-
sonnel available"

the arrest of Mrs. Catherine Eliza
beth Davis, IT, of the TOO block of
Ninth street Sc, charged with
smuggling four hacksaw blades into
the jail month before a bar was
sawed out of window during the
flve-man escape.
While a Gordon of police flashed
searchlights on the outside, the
main contingent began a simultane-
Gus search of all cellblocks, thus
precluding the destruction of any
hidden articles or passing them
from prisoner to prisoner.
More Saws Found.
Shortly before midnight, three
nourS later, the police announced
their cache consisted of:
A hacksaw broken in three pieces,
believed to be the fourth one carried
in by Mrs. Davis; two triangular
files, two pairs of pliers, two
hatchets, two pairs of scissors, a
hypodermic needle, a quantity of
insulin and six pieces of wire, each
about Is inches long.
All the articles but the hatchets

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada yesterday introduced legis-
lation to create single, Govern
ment-supported international air
transport company for operations
outside the United States.
Senator McCarran explained the
measure is substitute for previous
proposals to merge all commercial
lines flying international routes.
The substitute, he said, would per-
NIT railroads and steamship lines to
participate in company formed
under the direction of the Civil
Aeronautics Board. No company or
individual could own more than
per cent of the proposed "all-Amer-
ican flag line" common stock under
terms of his measure.
Senator McCarran declared that
foreign nations will play one Amer
tcan company against another unless
there is consolidation of interna-
tional carriers.
If the United States persists in a
policy of competition in this field
Senator McCarran told his COL
leagues, I'VE shall find ourselves in
a very short time either squarely be-
hind the eight ball of international
power politics or unwilling partic-
ipants in shotgun wedding with
foreign cartels."

On St. Johns Purchase

A demand that the Navy Depart
ment promptly announce a definite
decision on its proposal to acquire
st. Johns College at Annapolis was
placed before Congress today by
Senator Morse, Republican, OF Ore
gon.
In a statement in the Congress
sional Record, he said he would vote
against the long discussed annexa-
ton and added: "The National
Government should proceed without
delay to notify the college in the
immediate future whether 1t is 60
ing to be allowed to function as one

shadow of destruction hanging over

Il think the Navy should be big
enough to inform the Government
what its final plans are in regard to
st. Johns College and to call upon
the Congress to vote it up or down.
AS for me, I intend to cast my vote
against the attempt to destroy the
college"
Extensive hearings have been held

Communists
Say Hurley Changed
Roosevelt Policy
BY the Associated Press.

6y the ASSOCIATED Press.
YENAN, Dec. / Delayed The
Communist Emancipation Daily
News declared today 1t hoped Gen.
Marshall would listen to the will
Of the American and Chinese peo-
Pile"
In the first semiofficial reaction
from this Communist headquarters
to the resignation of Ambassador
Patrick J. Hurley and the appoint
ment of the former American Army
Chief Of Staff. the. newspaper said:
"Reactionaries in Chungking and
abroad who want to instigate a
civil war in China and war with
Russia admire Hurley's preresigna-
ton anti-American, anti-C Chinese
and anti-British statement Hur-
leys resignation represented a tri-
umph Of the American people"
The newspaper said Gen. Hurley
came to Yenan in October Of 1914 in
line with the Roosevelt policy laid
down at Yalta of dealing both with
Yenan and Chungking.
Gen. Hurley and Mao Tse-tung,
the Communist leader, conferred
three days in Mao's cave, where, the
newspaper said, they drank toasts
in the hope they had found means
for peaceful coalition.
The newspaper asserted that later
Gen. Hurley returned to Washington
and made statement repudiating
what had been agreed on.
Last August, when Gen. Hurley
made a second trip to Yenan, 'it was
quite clear he was supporting the
dictatorial policy of Chungking," the
Emancipation Daily added.
The newspaper expressed the hope
that Gen. Marshall would restore
the policy of Gen. (Joseph) Stilwell
and former Ambassador Clarence
Gauss"
Gen. Stilwell was recalled to
Washington from his position as ad-
wiser to Chang Kai-shek at the
generalissimo's insistence, it was
reported. American quarters in
Chungking said at the time that
Gen. Stilwell favored helping the
Communist 9th Route Army fight

derers. Police said they were fash
ioned from bed springs and, in the
hands of prisoners, would have been
effective for garroting guards in a
getaway attempt.
The Jail superintendent's Office
eloquently bespoke the thorough
ness with which the searchers oper-
ated. They left nothing untouched
including Jail records and files dat
ing back for years, and clerks were
faced with tedious job of re-
arranging the material.

The Welfare Board intends to
