of about 12 guards clinging close to the building-fired a projectile be- tween the bars but it struck one of the heavy bars and blazed back over his head like a fiery tracer bullet.
 It set fire to the pink ice plant that made spring-like carpet cov- ering the ledge below the cell block.
 We saw flames as brisk bay breeze whipped up fire and smoke up, up, up toward the cell-block. We wondered if the convicts thought they had set big fire.
 The wind swelt the fire halfway along the hundred foot ledge and it gave a further eerrie, fantastic light to this siege.
 It was evident the guards were determined to keep the trapped convicts on the move. They con- tinuously raised pistols as high as they could above their heads and fired indiscriminately into the block.
 There was plenty of machine gun fire, and plenty of rifle fire.
 The dozen police officers abroad shook their heads, saying:
 T wouldn't want any of that in there."
 At 6:30 p. m. 15O convicts were moved out of the shops at the south end of the island. They were cut off entirely from the main block and marched in orderely single file up the steep stairs under guard, ap- parently to have their evening meal.
 All the main tower guards ap- parently left their stations at the first outbreak. They would have been easy pickings for convict rifle men.

 Aboard the Police Boat D. A. White, 100 yards off AlcatraZ, May 3-(UP)-There was constant echo of gunfire as our boat pitched and tossed in the whitecaps of San Francisco Bay.
 Above us loomed the orange beige walls of the main cell-block of the toughest prison in the country, Alcatraz Island.
 Black-coated guards, sinking across a narrow catWalk, lifted up their pistols as high as they could to fire between the bars of the win dows into the cell-block.
 Shoot Gas Guns
 Holding their weapons above their heads, some guards shot of pro- jectiles from gas guns.
 Veteran San Francisco police officers, led by Rangemaster Emile Dutil, Fl Verano, Cal, said, "this is a siege to end all sieges."
 Capt. Charles Macdonald of the police detective division said:
 They'll have to smoke them out eventually"
 Two Navy flying boats constantly circled the island at 500 to 700 feet altitude, while dozen Coast Guard and Navy vessels cruised around the stronghold. Boat Crew Prepared
 When we arrived from the main- land about $40 p. m, yesterday, we saw big Coast Guard cutter with its guns trained directly on the guard tower.
 As we came within about 200 yards of the island, we heard the first Of what turned out to be liter ally hundreds of shots within but mostly from without the cell block.
 Most of the shots were being fired by guards outside the block.
 But we also heard muffled shots coming from the convicts' barricade.
 Police Sergeant Hanlon imme- diately ordered his men on the D. A. White to pick up their tommy guns and rifles in case we were fired on.

Cotton and Lace Make Tiny Togs
By EPsIE KINARD NEA Staff Writer

New York-(NEA)-All set to ex- cite doting "oh's" and "ah's" from baby's admirers during Baby Week, April 27 to May 4. Is handmade fln- cry for her Spring wardrobe which laughs at fabric shortages, because infants, midgies and toddlers are singled out for favor in the cotton field. .
 For the biggest event in baby's life-the christening ceremony-no pains or fabrics are spared to make the dress that looks good enough to eat with a spoon. Yolande, ace designer of baby clothes, creates this gala dress of finest organdy in two lengths. The longer dress sweeps down to 21 inches and com pines hand-detailing and lace. Sometimes the lace used for fancy incisionS or edgings is the real Mc- Coy.
 To top all of this, there are bon- net-and-coat ensembles of. pink, blue or white crepe, sugared with hand-embroidery, ruffles and lace to send His Nibs out wrapped up in layers of froth.
 Midgy styles this Spring for charmers just out of the infant stage break from the all-white tra- dition and go into the color ranks of pale blue, pink and yellow. Eff teen-inch dresses of dotted Swiss, batistc, broadcloth and washable one-denier miracle rayon swipe grown-up styling tricks, such as contrasting pockets, embroidered docket necklines and flashes of color on white cottons.
 The outlook of the toddler, aged two to three, is also frightened by colored cottons, styled to make mites look like well-dressed dolls in frocks which have bolero effects, marked waistlines, tiny collars and puffed pockets. In this group, the handmade details of Puerto Rican needlework which rate notice are cording of contrasting color, hem- stitching, faggotting, shocking and SplaShes of embroidery.
