Johnston said. 1T was the only
place I could think o. where Coy
could have gotten that gum.
"Seri0us Problem
eve knew we had a serious prob
lem with a prisoner loose wearing
a guards uniform with a rifle in
his hand. We had prisoners in lie
yard working in the laundry, cloth
ing factory, dry cleaning and &C.
ment plants.
1--WE decided immediate things
to do was keep any armed prison
err inside the cell house. We con-
tacted the cell house. We contact
ed all the towers and found that
some one had taken a shot at one
tower man. He had ducked to the
floor. All we could do was to tell the
tower men to keep alert and not
let anyone outside the cell build
ing.
THE next thing was to try to
get a man into west gun gallery,
where we had a PROSTATE guard"
Warden Johnston explained the
gun gallery was a protective posi-
ton in the cell-block in which a
man is locked from the outside.
He is supposed to keep a watch
on the floor to protect una~ ID
guards down there.
Four guards had rushed into the
cell block. They couldn't be To-
Gated, and the supposition was that
they were hostages. Unarmed
guards were sent into the yard
and the shops to round up the pris-
oners who were loose and work
ing there. They were corralled I'M
der guard.
During this fracas one officer
reported by telephone he was in
a kitchen of the basement of the
cell house, and that he had 18
prisoners with him. He said he
could handle the prisoners. His
name was Ed N. Sucker, and
he kept those prisoners down there
I'LL OuSll oil I'LL &C OdyS VI tlG llSllL-
ing" Johnston said.
A DR.. Clark, relief inferno, and
DR.. Farr, resident dentist, were
in dispensary on the upper floor
with prisoners. They locked them
selves in and stayed there during
the entire battle.
The next problem was to get
to Officer Dean Burch, whose rifle
Paul Coy had man;<ed to obtain.
Guards, including harold Sites,
tried to get into the gun gallery.
Sites was killed in this attempt.
Two other officers were also
shot assisting Sites.
Another officer was also smear
ed with blood, but his injuries had
come from trying to shoot through
a builet-proof vision panel, and the
bullet ricocheted and hit him."

ance of the situation, reporting
yesterdays general strike and the
Arab higher committees protest
to British Prime Minister Attlee.
A Reuters dispatch from Jeru-
salem said Gen. Sir Alan Cunning
ham, high commissioner of Pales-
tine, had asked the committee to
withdraw it's protest, which re-
jected the recommendations of the
British-American report.
Quiet
The Holy Land was quiet on the
Jewish Sabbath after yesterdays
one-day strike by the country's
1880, 900 Arabs in protest against
the report.
Zionist officials in Palestine were
silent. The voice of Israeli radio
reported Is Jews were arrested by
the Lebanese Gendarmerie yester-
day while trying to cross from
Syria into Palestine.
TIL return of Hal Amin Husseini,
the exiled grand multi, to Syria or
Lebanon was talked about freely
by high Arab officials, but they
would not permit themselves to be
quoted by name. They said his
influence would be a guiding factor
in the current political crisis.
Present Arab leaders, including
his cousin, Jamal Effendi Hus-
semi, trustee of the powerful Arab
higher committee, say the Arabs
are still awaiting the mufti's voice.
Apparently few Arabs question
the mufti's pro-Axis record in the
war, which has led to demands
that he be tried as a war criminal.
"The multi merely agreed with
Churchill" said an Arab office
spokesman, that sometimes one
must team up with the devil
against ones enemies"
In Iraq British army authorities,
taking precaution against any trou-
BILE with the Arab populace, de-
clared the east bank of the Tigris
river in Baghdad out of bounds
for all British troops.

SIEGE OF ALCATRAZ
ENDED WITH DEATH
OF THE R~INGLEADERS

These they herded into a cell,
where they opened fire on the
helpless men. At least one OF the
survivors named Cretzer as the
man who shot him.
Guard Kicked to Death
One guard was kicked to death.
He was Harold P. Sites. 1t was
believed that the convicts paid off
a long-standing grudge by the
BRUTAL murder of Sites. Sites,
a number of years ago, broke up
an attempted escape, killing one
convict.
The riot quickly got out of hand,
and Johnston called for help. San
Francisco, police, Navy and Coast
Guard boats, %patrolled the island
to intercept any prisoners who
might reach the water.
A detachment of marines, led by
Warrant Officer Charles L. Buck
ner, of Memphis, Tenn, landed on
the island and took under guard
about $50 prisoners who had not
taken part in the riot.
Then, in one of the most gallant
rescues in the history of Federal
prisons, armed guards stormed the
cell block where their colleagues
we're held, brought the survivors
to safety, and removed the bodies
of the two guards who had been
murdered. Details of this rescue
still were not available.
Meanwhile, a rain of fire pour
ed through the windows of the
prisoners stronghold. Alcatraz
guards, bolstered by guards from
other Federal prisons rushed to the
scene, attempted to blast the de-
sperate men into submission.
Bickner, leader of the Marines,
volunteered to join the fight.
Mounting the cell block, he drilled
three holes in the roof and dropped
$50 hand grenades into the inter-
ioF.
Later, Buckner fired at least two
cases of rifle grenades through the
windows, while exposed to convict
fire.
Firing ceased early yesterday
afternoon, and was resumed at two
brief intervals later in the evening.
The convicts, following the
grenade attack, made one truce
bid. They telephoned Johnston to
ask for "a deal" Johnston replied
that he would make a truce when
the prisoners threw out their Wea-
ponS and ammunition.
No more was heard from the
convicts.

that the current campaign makes
