masks entered, the prisoners were
not there. Mr.. Thompson was found
beaten about the head, but not Sc
riously hurt.

successful break were aroused q
short time afterward. when Mr.
Thompson's keys and three empty
gas shells were found in park out.
side the walls.
Then q count of the prisons 1,02t
inmates was ordered and all wert

Officials, mystified by how tn.
prisoners vanished from the tunnel

the park, abandoned their plans ane
mingled with other convicts on {
work detail there.
Mr.. Best said the odor of tear ga.
was detected on the clothing of tw.
convicts, sentenced from Denver fol
kidnapping and aggravated robbery

Three ST. Louis Paper,
Resume Publication
By the Associated Press,

os tlit aSSOClzLeQ FEeSS.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 7.-St. Louis
three daily newspapers, the Globe
Democrat, the Post-Dispatch and
the Star Times, resumed publication
today following settlement of a strike
which forced their suspension for
three weeks.
Charles Bond, business agent for
the AFL Paper Carriers Union, said
yesterday satisfactory" terms had
been reached with the publishers
association. The carriers struck over
publishers refusal to recognize their
union for collective bargaining pur-
poses.
A spokesman for the publishers
association said the three publishing
firms would buy the carriers routes
and bargain with them as employees
over wages, hours and working con-
ditions.
The carriers strike ended yester-
day but the papers could not publish
because the AFL typographers'
union would not return to work, say
ing it would wait until a new con-
tract was agreed on. Late last
night William Gibbons, president Of
the st. Louis Typographical Union,
said full and complete" settle
ment had been reached.
The four unions whose members
were laid off as a result of the strike
began publication of daily paper

A spokesman for the st. Louis
Newspaper Guild said yesterdays

Arthur Hale, Federal conciliator,
in announcing settlement of the
strike, said the publishers associa-
ton agreed to pay full salaries to
all employees who were laid of at the

Spaatz Insists B-Hs,
NOT Atom, Won War
By the Associated Press,


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Gen.
Carl A. Spaatz, commanding gen.
eral of the Strategic Air Forces in
the Pacific, said yesterday that air
task forces and not the atomic bomb
brought Japan to her knees.
He declared the United States
must maintain land bases for her
air might in order to make Japan
keep the peace
These air task forces can run
around because they have fighters
protecting them" he said.
The Mariana and Saipan-based
B-29s had wrought tremendous
damage before the atomic bomb was
unleashed on Hiroshima and Ma
gasaki
I'VE were dropping 5000 tons on
strike" he recalled, and we
planned to drop $4,000 to $4,000 tons
at a strike by the end of the year."
He called as absurd" the Idea
of any fleet in the world going up
against efficient land-based avia-
ton
With the air power we had in
the MarianaS," he asserted, mo
feet in the world could have oper-
ated within l,500 miles of us. We
need the Marianas, Okinawa, and,
of course, the Philippines. From
the air point of view I don't think
bases in China are necessary"
The only four-star general who
sat in on both the German and
japanese surrender conferences, he
said, Japan is so beaten up that
they can't help but know they lost
the war"
