Republicans have announced that they would hold their state convention at Hartford Sept. 9-1o, That's a Monday and Tuesday and probably means Demo- crats will convene the same week. but on Friday and Saturday, if past custom is followed or else carry over to the following week. Until some decision is made by the State Gen. tral Committee local Democrats won't start to work out their pro- gram of primary and convention dates. However, there has been some indication that all local nom- nations would be out of the way by the time the state convention rolls around.

Breaks from Jail in Wash- ington, D. (. : Using
 GuadaI(anaI Cunning

WASHINGTON, April 4-Earl Mcfarland, condemned rape-slayer, today pitted the cunning he learned on Guadalcanal against the com- bined efforts of police and FBI manhunters.
 The 24-year-old ex-Marine has been at large since dawn yesterday when he and Joseph D. Medley stag ed spectacular death house break after overcoming two guards.
 The recapture of the 44-year-old Medley after a seven-hour man. hunt evidently provided police with no clues on McFarland's plans for flight. Bloodhounds followed one trail to railroad track, but police also are keeping a close watch on northbound automobile traffic going through Maryland.
 Mcfarland was convicted on Octo- Der 5, 1944, of rape-slaying of an 18-year-old Government girl, Doro- thy Rerrum. Originally sentenced to die last August 31, the ex- Marines execution was stayed pend- ing an appeal.

CANNERY UNION SET FOR STRIKE
 VOTE APRIL 20
Cooling Off Period Soon Expires-S States Locals
 Favor Action

SEATTLE, April 4.-The regional office of the Alaska CIO-cannery workers unon said today it had no- tification from the Secretary of Labor at Washington that the 3o- day cooling off" period for a strike against the Alaska Salmon industry, Inc, will expire April 20. The Smith-Connally act requires such 30-day period must elapse before any strike action be taken.
 The union has asked the National Labors Relations Board to conduct a strike vote among membership of its six locals involved in the in- dustry, here and at Petersburg, Ketchikan, Hoonah, Juneau and Seldovia. The Union said it was conducting it's own strike vote and has unanimous votes favoring one from locals here, at Portland, san Francisco and Stockton, California. Alaska locals votes are not tabu- lated yet.
 The main issue, the union said, is the Alaska Salmon Industry's re- fusal to negotiate. The industry offered nine percent wage in crease over last year on a take it or leave it basis statement said. A 30 percent increase and a 40-hour week is sought.
