Man Who Escaped
D. {. Jail Is Seized
In Chicago Movie

A passion for double flea ture
crime movies which had come to
the attention of the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation late yesterday re-
suited in the arrest in a Chicago
theater of William A. Reed, 26-year-
old convicted robber who was one
OF five men who escaped from Dis
trict Jail November "a.
Aware that Reed liked crime pic
lures, special agents for several
weeks canvaSsed Chicagos West
Side movie houses and left pictures
of the escapee at the ticket windows.
Yesterday theater employee sold a
ticket to a man whom he recognized
as Reed even though his red hair
had been dyed a dusty blond. The
employe notified the FBI that the
man was inside, and the arress was
effected by lone agent and Chi
cago policeman without a struggle.
Reed made no protest at missing
the second half of the double feature
program, which was Captain Kidd"
and River Gang" He told the FBI
he had used peroxide to dye his
hair in New York, where he had
been for several weeks before re-
turning to Chicago Monday. Reed
faces HOUSEKEEPING and safe rob-
berry charges in Washington.
The FBI said Reed was arraigned
before United States commissioner
in Chicago last night on q warrant
for removal to the District as a
fugitive. He remained mute and a
plea OF not guilty was entered in his
behalf and he was remanded to
Jail in default of $4,000 pending
removal here, it was reported.
His capture was completely in
contrast to that of Michael James
Quinn, convicted payroll robber,
who escaped from District Jail at
the same time. and who was arrested
in Chicago February II by a SQUAD
of heavily armed FBI agents.
Quinn was returned here yester-
day and taken to District Jail pend
ing court action before District
Court Justice James M. Proctor to-
morrow. 1t is expected at that time
he will plead to an escape charge
and court attaches said he may also
be sentenced for his alleged par
ticipation in the SPAS National
Bank of Washington robbery last
March 80. He was convicted by
District Court jury on this charge.
OF the five who escaped from the
jail, only one man. John Mansour,
30, one of the ringleaders, still re-
mains free.

Defense Is Thanked
By Homma, Who Says
He's Misunderstood
BY the Associated Press

MANILA, Mar. 6.-Lt. Gen. Masa
haru Homma realized two months
before his war crimes trial that he
should have killed himself he wrote
in a letter of thanks to his defense
counsel, made public today.
The former supreme commander
Of Japanese forces which invaded
the Philippines is awaiting execu-
ton by an American firing squad for
ordering the Bataan death march
and permitting other atrocities-a
man misunderstood by the world
he said
He knew in advance what the
verdict would be, his letter declared.
Only I could not think that the
commander in chief could be pun
ished by death for his moral re-
sponsibility." During the trial he
had acknowledged moral RESPONSE
.billty for actions of his subordi-
nates.)
or his forthcoming execution, he
remarked:
There Is no greater love than to
die for your friends.
Many officers and men died on
Bataan and elsewhere in the Philip
pines having fought under my COM
mand. 1t is not without significance
for me to join them.
God in heaven will judge me.
and historians in the future will
judge me rightly. My countrymen
know why I'm to die, and none of
them believe me guilty. That is
enough for me-"
When I come to think I'm a man
wholly misunderstood by the world,
the letter concluded. Il feel sad. But
1t cannot be helped. Please accept
my heartfelt gratitude and appre-
citation for the impartial stand you
have taken so bravely. I respect
Americans all the more for your
sake"
His counsel were Maj. John H.
Skeen, jr., Of Baltimore; Capt.
George w. OFT of Chicago, Capt.
George E. Furness, New York and
Boston; 1t. Robert L. Pelz, New
York, and 1t. Leonard Nataupsky

House Member Sees
Surplus Sale Scandal
BY the Associated Pres,

Charging that disposition OF sur
plus property was either lone of the
most inefflciently handled jobs OF
our time, or wholesale scandal is
IN the making" Representative
Skies, Democrat, OF Florida, said
yesterday that he would ask an in
vestigation by the Justice Depart
ment.
Some Of the people who are
charged with the disposal of sur
plus property are dealing off the
bottom of the deck" Mr.. Skies said
In a speech in the House
TITS time to clean up the mess
which they have created" he con-
tinued, asserting that apparently
much of it (surplus property was
sold before it was catalogued and
offered through the regular chan
nels"
Il have dates, places, and serial
numbers of some of the equipment
thus disposed of, and I shall ask the
Justice Department to make full
investigation" Mr.. Skies said. He
added:
1T is common experience for pros
pective buyers to find that the
equipment in which they are inter-
ested is marked sold as soon as it
is declared surplus. even though the
prospective buyers may have been
negotiating for the equipment for
weeks. Many of us would like to
know how come"
