pointing the way to sure and
safe road leading to life's great
highway, should, both, within a
few days of each other, be called
upon to lay down their nantes.
Lest our grief be so deep as
to leave us without our guiding
stars, let us here resolve that
for what they sacrificed so much,
shall not have been in vain.
That here at their shrine, we
dedicate anew our lives to per-
petuate that torch leading to a
higher life.
To those he leaves behind, go
our deepest sympathy, knowing
full well, his life was not in vain.
His racial goal was as pure
as a crystal. So clear that it can
not die. Its operations are merely
transferred to another sphere,
where it may merit the approval
of the Creator of life and death.
Seattle's heart, mute, lies in the
coffin with him.
Good by, Bill, Till We Meet
Again.
Good by Bill: Yours was patti
ent, yet a grand soul. So grand
that heaven willed your hours
of suffering should be brief. So
many youngsters standing on the
threshold of life looked to you
for guidance. They depended on
you. And now you are gone.
Looking back upon the past,
how often you would catapult
the unproposed into higher
sphere of life, only to be halted
by a more cautious approach, one
step at time. Each of us was
so necessary to the other. Each
was useless without the other,
but together difficulties were
overcome and the pathway cleared
for life's great moment.
SO thin is the veil which Sc
parate us you may now view
your plans throughout eternity.

Cabinet Harmony

The issue created by the speech
of Secretary Wallace in which
he expressed views on the in
ternational situation at great vari-
ance with those of Secretary
Byrnes, goes beyond the question
of who may be right and who
may be wrong.
No nation can help shape the
policy of the world unless its re-
sponsible officials present a united
front. The problems faced by Mr..
Byrnes in his constant clashes
with the Russian delegates are
extremely difficult. And, if the
world was permitted to believe
that he lacked the backing of
his President and colleagues in
the Cabinet, his position would
be untenable.

Rehabilitation Administration Mr.
La Guardia planned to appear today
before the Combined Food Board
representing the United States,
Great Britain, and Canada-to in
sist that member countries allocate
$4,000 tons more month than the
275,000 tons now being granted

Discussing other phases of the

designed to obtain larger quantities
of meats and food fats and oils for
the needy abroad and to strengthen
the voluntary conservation program
recommended last month by Presi-
dent Truman's Famine Emergency
Committee. He would not elabor-
ate on these measures, however.
Nor would the Secretary make
any estimate as to the possible
duration of the -four restriction

the departments grain branch, told
bakers and millers at a meeting

questioning on the ground that Mr.
Gray was trying to show that Mr.
Gill was responsible for the short
comings Of every Tom, Dick and
Harry at the jail"
He complained that Mr.. Gill was
not charged with any responsibility
for the bad housekeeping at the jail
j Walter M. Bastian, chairman Of
the inquiry board, ruled, however,
that Mr.. Gray was in his rights in
trying to bring out that Mr.. Gill
was the man responsible for condi-
tions that caused him to criticize
his own staff.
Mr.. Gill hotly denied that 1t was
his business to continually inspect
the jail. That authority, he said,
was delegated to Mr.. Botkin.
Says Witness Talks Too Much.
Struggling for three hours to show
discrepancies in Mr.. Gill's direct tes-
timony, the Welfare Boards attor-
ney repeatedly objected that his wit
ness was talking too much and that
the defense attorney was trying to
take over the cross-examination.
Finally, he sighed:
II might as Web bow to the in
evitable. Mr.. Wilson, just feel free
to interrupt at any time"
Injecting his own complaint that
the District Jail is not structurally
safe, Mr.. Gill testified that the old
Penal Committee of the Welfare
Board approved his plan for re-
constructing the jail's control corri-
dor and agreed on February 9, 1945,
to recommend it to the Commis-
siol1ers as one Of the immediate
needs of the Jail.
$500 for Remodeling Job.
The remodeling job would have
cost, however, between 100000 and
$4,000, Mr.. Gill reported. After the
Penal Committee was abandoned
and prison administration was
turned over to the Institutions Com
mittee, Mr.. Gill received a total Of
$500. enough to do only small part
of the necessary work, he said.
Mr. Gray questioned him closely
as to why he did not know prior to
the November "a Jail break that his
own guards objected to the use of
isolation cells for discipline because
the prisoners described them as
Just a good place to rest"
Mr.. Gill insisted none of the
guards ever complained to him and
that he learned some of them were
refusing to use the isolation cells
only by reading the testimony before
a committee he had appointed to in
vestigate the cause of the escape.
That remark is so typical of men
given punishment. 1t is the old, old
comment of men put in isolation. ]
have seen them come out of worse
holes than our basement and say
the same thing"
One of the charges against Mr.
Gill is that he abandoned basement
control cells in violation of the regu-
! lations of the Welfare Board. Guards
had testified complete breakdown
in discipline at the Jail followed.

U. 5. Marine Is Ambushed, ,
Slain by Chinese Bandits
BY the Associated Press

TIENTSIN, April 10.-An Amer
lean Marine was ambushed and
killed Sunday by Chinese bandits,
who riddled his body as he ap-
preached village southwest Of the
port of Chinwangtao to help a
Chinese boy with sick horse, Maj
Gen. Keller E. Rockey said yester-
day. The Marines name was not
announced.
When the Chinese boy asked his
help with the horse, the Marine
returned to his billet to recruit an
other enlisted man. AS the two
Marines and the boy approached
the villages Of Fengling and Pouku-
chuang they were met by a burst
Of gunf1re from Chinese bandits.
One Marine fell. The other un-
injured, reported the shooting. A
Marine patrol was unable to find the
bandits but recovered the body of
the slain man, whose watch and
carbine had been stolen.

Quashing Of Charges
On Teachers Taxes
To Be Appealed

Assistant United States Attorney
John B. Diamond Sd today an
nounced his office will appeal a rul-
ing by Municipal Court Judge
Thomas D. Quinn yesterday, grant
ing motion to quash charges
against M. and Mrs. Ernest C
Rick, school teachers, accused OF
filing fraudulent District income tax
returns.
Defense Attorneys James r. Kirk
land and Francis C. Brooke con-
tended in support of their motion
that the corporation counsers office
has jurisdiction over the offense al
legged, rather than the United States
attorneys Office, which brought the
charges.
Memorandum Opinion.
In memorandum opinion, Judge
Quinn wrote: "Since the substance
OF the offense set forth in the in
formation now before the court is
the filing of a false and fraudulent
return, and since Title Al. Section
1542 (a), as amended, makes such
offenseS subject to prosecution on
information by the corporation
counsel, the court rules that the
office of the United States attorney
has no juris s1iction to prosecute the
of1enSe charged in the case at bar
The jurist held the United States
Attorneys ONCE does have juris-
diction to prosecute willful attempts
to evade the tax but that the offense
in question comes under the clause
labeled negligence" He noted a
conflict" in the statute sections
after the 1912 amendment.
Assessors Office Consulted.
Mr.. Diamond said today he had
consulted the tax division in an
effort to have Edward A. Dent, Dis
trict assessor, withhold any action
by the Corporation Counsel's Office
in the matter pending an appellate
ruling on the question.
This matter should go to the
Municipal Curt of Appeals not only
for a clariflcation of this case, but
FOR the benefit of any future cases
that may come up" Mr.. Diamond
said, "and I don't think for a mo-
ment that this will be the only case
we have" He said the case had
been referred to the appellate Sec
tion of the United States Attorneys s

Laundry UsobIe as Escape Rope
WAS Scattered in Jail, Gill Says
laundry of the sort used nv .Josen

Laundry of the sort used by Joseph
Medley and Earl Mcfarland to
make rope for their escape from
the District Jail last Wednesday was
found on three previous occasions
where prisoners could get at it,
Howard B. Gill, suspended penal
superintendent, said today.
Mr.. Gill said he warned guards
following the escape of five prisoners
November "a, that If he found such
laundry scattered again, he would
make a written report charging
them with laxity of duty.
Resuming hearings on charges
filed against Mr.. Gill by the Board
of Public Welfare, an inquiry board
appointed by the Commissioners
listened intently as Mr.. Gill de-
scribed how a "shakedown," or
search, of a jail should be con-
Quoted.
Fresh from his appearance yes
terday before a congressional inves-
tigating committee, Mr.. Gill con-
tinued his report Of inadequate
personnel and facilities at the jail.
Medley and Mcfarland used
sheets from a pile Of soiled laundry
to make rope and let themselves
down from the jail roof to freedom.
Medley was recaptured several
hours later, but Mcfarland is still
at large.
ANY trained prison man knows
that laundry in the hands of pris-
oners means escape" declared Mr..
Gill.
He said it was the responsibility
OF Claude o. Botkin, resident super
intendent, to take care of these
operational details, but after finding
jail housekeeping in a "deplorable
state" Mr.. Gill began prowling the
Jail after December 3, he testified.
The Welfare Board suspended Mr.
Gill on charges Of inefficiency De-
cember 6.
His description a proper shake
down" came when Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel Chester H. Gray
representing the Welfare Board
hammered at his accusation that
guards did not know how to conduct
proper shakedown.
Describes Proper Method.
In extensive cross-examination
Mr.. Gray attempted to show that
Mr.. Gill was equally responsible
for the deficiencies he found.
The District Jail should have a
rowing team Of three men constantly
searching for contraband, but does
not have sufficient personnel for
the purpose, according to Mr.. Gill
| Guards conducted a shakedown
nine days before the November "a
jailbreak, but did not find "a car
load of junk" later taken from the
cell block by Mr.. Gill following
the escapes, he pointed out.
Gave Warming to Prisoners.
Mr.. Gin said he discovered it was
the practice of the Jail to search two
or three cells at time.
When you do that, the word that
the search is on quickly passes down
the tier. You hear the toilets flush
ing, Everything is running down
the sewer"
All the inmates should be taker
from their cells and stripped, the
witness explained. Then the guard:
should 90 into the cells and inspect
every Granny from the mechanism
which operates the door to the
bricks in the rear of the cell, h.
added.
Defense Objects to Queries.
