Lack Of Evidence
Frees I on Charqe
OF Aiding JaiIbreak

Charges that Louise Mansour and
Shaff1e Mansour aided the escape
of John Mansour from District Jail
last November and that they helped
to get hacksaw blades into the
Jail were nolle-prossed in District
Court today for lack of evidence.
The two are wife and brother of
John ManSour. one of five men who
escaped Jail. He is one of the two
still at large.
Besides being accused of aiding
her husband to escape, Mrs. Man
sour was charged with helping to
smuggle three hacksaw blades and
$500 into the Jail while Shaffie
ManSour was accused of helping to
introduce three hacksaw blades into
the Jail.
Similar Charges Dropped.
John C. Conliff, ir., assistant
United States attorney, who nolle
pressed the cases, said there was
insufficient evidence for them to be
brought to trial.
Last week he nolle pressed similar
charges against Lawrence A. How
ard, former Jail guard, because of
insufficient evidence. Samuel Rubin,
a Jail trusty, recently was acquitted
following trial, on charge of smug-
Cling hacksaw blades
In all. IL were named in indict-
ments either for escaping or aiding
in introducing backsaw blades into
the jail.
Couple Pleads Guilty.
or the others, Mrs. Catherine
Davis, II, and her husband, Earl

guilty to introducing hacksaw blades
into the Jail, but have not yet been
sentenced. Everett Ray Snyder, one
OF the escapes, who gave himself
up, pleaded guilty and has been SEN
fenced to from one to three months.
Besides John Mansour, the es-
capee still at large is William A.
Reed.
Michael J. Quinn, one of the fugi-
yves, was captured last tuesday in
Chicago. He was awaiting sentence

viction with Charles Skiskowski on a
bank robbery charge Skiskowski

his part in the bank robbery as driv-
er OF the automobile used by the rob-
bers. Skiskowski is charged also
with introducing a hacksaw blade
into the Jail.

Measure 10 Provide
School Lunches Due
In House Tomorrow

A permanent lunch program for
needy District school children-the
cost of which will be divided between
the Federal Government and the
District-would be established un-
der a proposal to be considered by
the House tomorrow.
Chairman Flanagan Of the House
Agriculture Committee said he would
recommend Nationwide S65,000,-
900 Federal-aid plan as vital to
health.
Under the bill, the District would
be allotted s9l TOO next year to serve
lunches to needy children. The sum
was decided on basis OF popula-
ton and income here.
The District would be expected
to add another SOL 700, Mr.. Flanna-
gan said. The following year the
Federal contribution would be de-
creased and the Districts share
would increase BY 1850, while ap-
proximately the same total amount
would be spent for the lunches. the
Federal share would have decreased
to one fifth.
Haycock Favors Plan.
Robert L. Haycock, superintendent
of schools. said the system could be
very valuable" but that details
would have to be worked out He
does not know where the schools can
get SOL 700 next year nor whether
they could afford to increase this
sum annually up to 1850, he said.
"If Congress wants us to share in
lunch program they must give us
the money to do it," he said.
A hot lunch program sponsored
here by the Works Project Admins
tration was beneficial" however
and Mr.. Haycock would be anxious
to see 1t re-established. He pointed
out that the District has been pay
ing about 5000 a year for milk for
needy school children, and that per-
haps this sum could be transferred
into a general lunch appropriation.
About $1,000 youngsters have been
getting milk, according to Harry M
Gardner, supervisor of the program.
These same children probably would
be selected for the lunch program,
Mr.. Haycock said.
Fiscal Difficulty Seen.
Mr.. Haycock said he would be in
terested to see if Congress fixes the
Federal contribution to the District
at S91 700. If the school heads were
allowed to take only what they could
match-rather than having large
sum thrust upon them-the system
might be more easily set up, Mr.
Haycock said.
The superintendent added that he
hoped the Agriculture Department
would help the school home eco
nomic department plan the menus
He also suggested that nutrition
information be sent to mothers for
lunches on non-school days.
Another problem to be solved
Mr.. Haycock said, is how to serve
hot lunches in elementary schools
where there are no kitchen facilities
Under the WPA, the lunches were
prepared in central kitchen and
transported to the schools.
Mr. Flanagan said he hoped the
permanent Nationwide system will
be approved by the House, not only
to benefit children but to establish
regular outlet for food produce.
