District Jail Inmate
WHO Fled 0ccoquan
Makes New Escape

Joseph Calvin Shaw. Is, Rich
mond, Va, serving a three-month
sentence for escaping from the
workhouse at Occoquan, escaped
from District Jail last night by en-
tering the courtyard and scaling
temporary wire gates which were in
stalled last January to prevent
breaks, according to jail officials.
Shaw disappeared last night after
last being seen In the line at the
jail's canteen. Edward Gill, super
intendent of District Jail, said that
after Shaw left the line he slipped
down through a temporary opening
In the ground, which had been made
In remodeling steam line, and from
there made his way down corridor
and to the courtyard.
Scaled 10-Foot Gates.
From the courtyard, Mr.. Gill
said Shaw ran to the temporary
wire gates, which are only 10 feet
high, and climbed them. Mr.. Gill
said the wire gates are just like
ladder"
Because Of difficulties involved in
estimating the cost of permanent
steel gates, an appropriation COW
ering their installation could not
be included in time in the 1946 reg
ular District budget. The steel gates.
however, are expected to be included
in the budget for the 1947 fiscal
year, and possibly in a 1916 sup
Elemental budget, officials said to-
day.
In stressing that the permanent
steel gates would only cost about
SIS 900, Mr.. Gill said today that in
order to prevent future escapes
such as Shaw's, it was urgent that
the gates be provided for imme-
diately in a supplemental budget.
Jailed in Philadelphia.
Shaw, a former soldier, escaped
from Occoquan in 1941 while serving
a 4-to-12 month sentence for un-
authorized use of an auto While
free he was arrested in Philadel-
phia on a charge of receiving stolen
property and served a year in the
county Jail there for that offense.
He was returned here last March
and completed his original sentence
on the auto charge. He was just
beginning the three e-month term for
the jailbreak when he escaped.
He is described as feet IL inches
in height. 100 pounds, and was clad
In a white shirt and khaki pants.
Jail ofiicials expressed the hope he
would be apprehended soon.

ton of the region was not permitted.
Weygand limped into court, bowed
low to Petain, and described him
self as "a prisoner of Val de Grace"
"Co-ordinated resistance no longer
was possible" the mufti-clad gen.
eral said when he decided Ito ask
the government to demand an
armistice.
"I considered It my duty as COM
mander in chief to ask for an armi-
stice. I took the decision myself
and on purely military grounds.
There was no question of collusion
with Marshal Petain."
He said, however, that the first
suggestion for An armistice came
from President Albert Lebrun, one
of the first witnesses against the
old soldier. This was made at war
committee meeting on May rs, 1910,
when Weygand said Lebrun asked if
1t would not be better to obtain con-
ditions of peace before the armies
were destroyed.
II was not thinking of an armi-
stice at that time," he said, II was
still fighting the battle of the north
and I had plans prepared for the
battle Of the Somme- -Aisne to fol-
low it."
He denied a statement previously
attributed to Petain in which Wey-
gand reportedly was instructed to
flight until your armies no longer
are in liaison and then I, Petain
will impose an armistice."
Weygand was preceded by Marcel
Paul, a court witness and member
of the consultative assembly, who
charged the vichy police with tor
lures and cruelty and blamed Petair,
for their actions. He said the
French feared the Vichy police
40 times more than the German
Gestapo."
French Public Shocked.
Another member Of the assembly
Paul Arrighi, testified briefly that
the ordinary Frenchman" was
stupefied when the French Army
stopped fighting. He declared he
was even more shocked when Pc
tain met Hitler at Montoire. He de-
nounced the antibolshevik legion
organized by the vichy regime and
the compulsory labor laws.
| ,Weygand came to court unde,
guard from Val de Grace military
hospital where he was convalescine
from an operation. The government,
had detained him since shortly aftel
American troops liberated him from
German detention.

WILLIAMS FACES
SENATE BATTLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-LPl-The
armed truce under which Senate
Democrats suspended their civil
war over the Henry Wallace cabi-
net appointment may be shattered
next week over Aubrey Williams,
another presidential nominee.
Williams appointment to head
the Rural Identification Admins
tration (REA) comes before Sen
ate Agriculture Committee Tues
day for public hearings. There are
signs that the same lineup OF
Southern Democrats and Republi-
cans which came within one vote
of forcing Misunderstanding
showdown on the former vice pres
idents appointment as secretary
of Commerce has formed ranks
against Williams.
Senator Mcclellan D-Tenn), who
went off the administration reser-
walton to fight Wallace, already
has assumed leadership in the bat
tie against Williams, former Ma
tional Youth Administration head.
Mcclellan calls Williams ''waster
of Government money
To many of the Southern Demo-
Gratis, Williams stands as a SYM
boil of what they call the left wing
element of the party headed by
Wallace.
Their assault, as in the Wallace
attack, will be against the Govern
mental spending theories they at
tribute to both men. Both also have
strong backing from the CLIO.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
minority whip, predicted Repub-
hcans may give more solid sup
port to the Williams opposition than
they did against Wallace.
Democratic Leader Barley (Ky)
generally credited with persuading
Senator Walsh D-Mass) to cast
the deciding vote against coali-
ton motion for showdown, told
a reporter he thought a new spirit
of cooperation had grown up
among the Democrats.

Marines, Freed On Luzon,
Never Forgot Their Corps
BY C. YATES MCDANIEL

With AMERICAN FORCES ON
LUZON, Feb. 3.-Delayed)-R-
Circling slowly over the evacuation
hospital of central Luzon after re-
turning from a strike this morning,
more than IS Marine dive bomb
ers, all piloted by officers, dipped
their wings in tribute to 10 en-
listed Marines of the old Fourth
Regiment who were snatched
from Japanese captivity at Caba-
nathan the night of January 30.
Battered, worn by three years
confinement, mistreatment and
malnutrition, these men were still
Marines and proud of it and more
than that-they were Fourth Ma
rines-even if they were the only
remnants of the proud regiment
that carried the U. S. flag for
IA trouble-filled years throughout
the Far East and as proudly fought
their greatest, though losing, fight
in the Philippines.
Pvt Edward S. Gordon, Jack
son, Miss, described those three
years as 'helT' and their liberia
ton as "a miracle
Gordon was fighting to keep
back his tears and CROPPED for
words as he told of seeing fellow
Marines beaten by guards. They
didn't do anything, They were just
beaten mercilessly because the
guards thought they were break
ing some little rule"
He said prisoners working on
farms were driven like cattle.
The Japs seemed to begrudge us
time to eat the lousy rice they
fed us three times day for three
years All of us worked bare
footed
The Japs wouldn't let us wear
shoes anytime for anything"
When the Rangers popped up
from nowhere related Gordon,
Il was eating a piece of bread I
had made from rice flour. When
the shooting started I figured, and
SO did all the rest, that our time
had come to die.
II hit the deck and remained
there until l looked up into the
face of six-foot American
Ranger who yelled: Get the hell
out of here-We are Yanks.' I
wanted to kiss him but I ran like
hell just as he told me to for
the gate
God knows l figure I am one
of the luckiest men alive in the
world today. l don't know quite
now to express what 1 feel about
the Rangers, but l can try-they
act and fight just like Marines.
All the Marines, wanted to
know something about how the
war was going. They wrinkled
brows vaguely when told about
the Solomons and looked blank
when they heard the Americans
had taken Kwajalein, and EniWe-
tax in the Marshalls - most of
them had never heard of the
places.
They were worried about the
"shelling'' of California and were
visibly relieved wnen told that
happepned a long time ago and
didn't amount to much anyway.
Through three long, bitter years,
these men never have forgotten
they were Marines, but it was all
most too much for them today
Wnen COL Clayton C. Jerome Of
Burton, Kans, commanding dive
bombers of the First Marine Air
Wing, and Col. Lyle H. Meyer
of Deer Isle, Me, presented each
man with new uniform and Ma
rine Corps insignia, They handled
and gazed at those uniforms as
if they were the finest suits ever
made. More than one Marine
