Added Funds Sought
by Welfare Board
To Strengthen Jail

The Public Welfare Board Is pre-
pairing request for supplemental
appropriations to patch up the Dis
trict Jail and prevent recurrence Of
two recent escapes, Director Ray L.
Huff said today.
His announcement followed a re-
port by w. French Fleming, acting
general superintendent of District
penal institutions, outlining recon-
mendations for tightening the jail's
escape routes and listing reforms
carried out since November "a.
That was the day five prisoners
sawed their way out of the antique
institution. Twelve days later, Gen.
eral Superintendent Howard B. Gill
was suspended and Mr.. Fleming was
appointed temporarily.
In another development, Mr.. Gill's
headquarters" in the Burlington
Hotel announced the formation of
the Citizens Committee on District
Prisons, with a twofold purpose:
l. To enroll those residents of the
District Metropolitan Area inter-
ested in providing adequate facilities
and promoting an effective program
for prisoners and
2. To gain assurance from the
District Commissioners that charges
resulting in the suspension of Mr..
Gill will be heard by an impartial
board in open hearings.
Emergency Items Listed.
Most of the emergency items to be
requested by the Welfare Board were
conta.n ned in Mr.. Fleming's list OF
recommendations, Mr.. Huff said.
The board will ask the Commits
sioners to rush through requisitions
for new walls and gates, as well as
two electric eye" devices, one for
searching prisoners and visitors en-
tering the Jail and the other for ex-
ploring mattresses and other places
for concealed saws, files and other
escape tools.
Additional personnel to augment
the skeleton force now guarding
more than 500 prisoners also will be
asked, Mr.. HUFF said. The supple
mental request is being drawn up
with Mr.. Fleming's assistance and
may be prepared for final approval
by the board within a week or two
Mr.. Huff said. He could not esti-
mate what the requests would en-
tail in financial terms.

investigation. He believed all points
of Mr.. Fleming's report would be ap-
proved by the committee and passed
on to the board for final sanction.
Asked If Mr.. Fleming,s report did
not contain much the same material
earlier suggested by Mr.. Gill, the
committee chairman said he be-
lieved the new report was more
elaborate"
MIR. Gill is preparing to fight his
impending custer by the Commits
sioners, and one of his points of de-
fense Is that the Welfare Board was
derelict in it's duty as long as five
years ago for failing to make the
Jail more secure.
In addition to the recommends
tions, Mr.. Fleming said his admin
istration had been responsible for
reprimanding two jail officers for
laxity in the performance of duty,
and the institution of charges
against three recaptured escapes.
Charles F. Kidwell, an admission
officer, has been reprimanded and
given a new assignment, after two
hacksaw blades were brought into
the Jail by colored prisoner from
Lorton Reformatory, Mr.. Fleming
said. The other reprimand was di-
rected at Ulysses S. Simms for fail
ing to make a proper head count the
morning Percy Brent and Car

it improves their appearance. A little pruning and removal of dead wood each year helps them. When blooms are cut for indoor decora- tion, thinning is unnecessary, pro- viding proper care is exercised in cutting. Lilacs will continue to bloom with no pruning, but they look much better if the weak wood is thinned out and old wood re- moved. Incidentally, failure of lilacs to bloom may be attributed to the absence of lime in the soil, so add a pound or so to the soil about each plant.
 Mock orange should be pruned in much the same way as spiraea. Thin out immediately after flower ing, with special emphasis on the removal of the oldest canes. If the oldest wood is cut out, the shrubs will not acquire the overgrown top heavy appearance that is so com- mon in this shrub.
 Other plants that need this type of pruning are Deutzia, Beauty Bush, Pearl Bush, Towering AL mond and such viburnums as tomentosum. earliest and lantana.. Other viburnums whose fruits are particularly ornamental or are de- sirable as bird food should be cut back only lightly. These include vii

 On azaleas, laurel, rhododendron and andromeda. the seed pods or old flower receptacles should be pinched out to throw more strength into producing flower buds for next year. This should be done carefully so that no new growth is removed with the buds or there may be no flowers the following year.
 Prune or shear evergreens either in the spring, just as the growth is starting, or in July. after the new growth has hardened. Never prune evergreens in the winter. Usually evergreens require little pruning other than removal of rampant shoots, or dead, diseased or broken branches,
