the jail break merely focused at
tention on a long standing need for
this legislation.
None of the clues afforded tangi-
BILE evidence of where the former
Marine, convicted of Staying a girl
year ago, might have headed after
parting company with Joseph D.
Medley.
Here is an example of the kind of
work police were putting in to try
to hunt down McFarland:
Shortly before midnight a truck
driver reported he had dropped
mcfarland" off at Queensbury
road, Riverdale, Md The rider told
him he was hitch-hiking to North
Carolina, the driver said. (McFar-
lands wife lives in New Bern. N. c.

cars set up road blocks, but McFar-
land never appeared
Another Tip Is False.
About the same time the police
radio said man fitting the fugi-
tive's description had stolen a car at
Seabrook, Md, and was headed to-
ward Washington. There was moth
ing to it.
An anonymous tip last evening
sent the FBI to a 'three-story red
brick apartment in the 900 block of
Massachusetts, avenue Sc" The
feminine voice reported Mcfarland
was staying there with girl
named Ann. There was no 900
block Southeast, so the FBI secured
the 600 block Northeast. The
hunted man was not found.
Shortly after midnight a man
called police headquarters and con-
flded: You'll find him at Apart
ment - in a hotel at Sixteenth
and r streets NV"
The apartment door was unlocked.
The police slipped in and found
the tenant doing on his bed un-
der the influence of something in
toxicatlng. They left him there,
undisturbed. Later they learned the
call had come from that apartment.
Later colored man operating a
filling station at 1900 Benning road
NE. was sure one of two men who
drove up in 1887 auto was McFar-
land. He was the one who stepped
out, dressed in dark blue clothes
such as Mcfarland might have
worn from the Jail after he and
Medley had stripped two guards of
their uniforms. The men drove off
and haven't been seen since.
In the same Bennlng neighbor-
hood another station attendant be-
came alarmed when a man dressed
in blue pants. shirt and jacket
stepped in to change a $40 bill.
When he left in cab, the attendant
called police. Tracing the cab driv-
er, detectives learned the suspect
was a rookie policeman who had
been visiting his r-in-law.
Far out on Division avenue NE,
cab driver saw mcfarland" walk
ing along the street around 4 am.
District and Maryland police went
into action, only to have their at
tention diverted a few minutes
later with the report that a grocery
at 803 Fifty-ninth avenue, Fair |
mont Heights, had been robbed.
Somebody thought it was Nc
Farland, hungry and desperate. The
investigation showed two pies and
cake were missing Police took
fingerprints found on the broken
window. They were not McFarland's.
In Damascus, Md, a man who
fitted McFarland's description was
seen in a car stolen there. Similar
stories have come out of Northern
Ohio, Baltimore and Richmond.

tention around the New Bern IN.

Sedition Case Dismissal
Motions 10 BeHeard Nov.21

Chief Justice Bolitha ]. Laws of
District Court yesterday afternoon
set November 81 as the date for
hearing all pending motions to dis
miss the sedition indictment against
more than Is defendants.
In setting the date, Justice Laws
said total of two hours will be
allowed to defense lawyers and an
other two hours to the Government
for arguments.
Hearing on other motions in the
sedition case will be postponed until
after disposal of the motions to dis
miss, Justice Laws said.
The sedition trial came to sud-
den end in December, 1914, when a
mistrial was declared because of the
death of Chief Justice Edward c..
Eicher, who was presiding. The case
has been pending since, with many
motions having been filed in connec-
ton with it.
The Governments case had been
in the hands of o. John Rogge, spe-
cial Justice Department prosecutor,
who was fired last week by Attor-
ney General Clark for his speech at
Swarthmore College near Philadel-
phia, in which he charged the Nazis
had expressed preference for John
L. Lewis, Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Montana, and several other
nationally prominent figures.

Many coaches are convinced that
pep rallies can win football games.
So if Georgetown beats George
Washington this afternoon at Grif-
fifth Stadium, the G. w. U. crowd
can blame themselves for being too
generous with their talent.
Not that G. w. has a forward
pass artist to spare. This Is what
happened on the eve OF the game:
Six sweater-girl cheer leaders
from the ranks OF the G. w. co-eds
put over Georgetown University's S
football rally last night.
Until their surprise appearance,
the rally had Jagged. There had
been much throwing about of arms
by Georgetown's male cheer leaders
in horn-rimmed glasses and white
sailor caps as they leaped about on
the steps of Old North. But, despite
reminders that the rally was being
broadcast by N. B. c., it just didn't
have any spark.

Hoya song.
Mush Dubofsky, the line coach,
assured them that cheering meant
a lot-that if there had been more
cheering, few scores on the wrong

@. u. Rally in Victory Cheers
By George Kennedy

Tradition means lot at George
town. One of our traditions is that
we always beat c. w. Tomorrow we

Dick keenan,, president OF the

Georgetown has played George
Washington off and on since 1890,
and George Washington has never
won. 1t held Georgetown to a
scoreless tie once and has not
crossed Georgetown's goal line since
1922. Georgetown beat G. w. Is

Polio Clue Discovered
In Organism Similar
To Diphtheria Studied
By Thomos R. Henry

A new clue to the genesis OF the
most deadly form of poliomyelitis
which attacks the nervous mechan-
ism concerned with breathing was
uncovered during last summers epi-
demic, according to a report just is
sued by Basil O'Connor, president
of the National Foundation for
1nfantile Paralysis.
Many such cases occurred in Me-
braska. DR.. Louis B. Gebhardt of
the University of Utah, working un-
der a grant from the foundation,
investigated each one as soon as
possible. In every case, he found
In the throat of the patient an Or
ganism similar to that which causes
diptheria. This disease, however,
was not present. The same con-
ditions were found among patients
in Salt Lake City.
The implications are not yet clear,
Mr. O'Connor says, since it is cer-
tain that the diphtheria like organ
ism is not itself the cause of polio.
The larger organism, however, ap-
parently must be present before the
virus can get a foothold in the
bulbar part Of the central nervous
system which rises from the base
of the brain.
One of the mysteries Of polio
Is the great difference in the de-
gree of severity with which it at
tacks different people. Probably the
average person infected feels no
effects at all. Others are made
cripples, but their lives are in no
great danger. Those who have
''bulbar polio" may have to live in
respirators for the rest of their lives,
If they do not die Immediately.
Charts drafted by the national
foundation, Mr.. O'Connor reports,
show a changing geographical pat
tern of the disease. The fullest i'm
pact this year was in the Mississip-
pi Valley, whereas the last great
epidemics, those of 1915 and 1914,
were concentrated on the Eastern
Seaboard. The next may strike even
farther west.
From the statistics, Mr.. O'Con-
nor says, this epidemic appears the
worst in history, but this may not
be true since cases were diagnosed
and reported which previously
would have gone unnoticed.

off an explosion in my mind. I hac
always held that processing, ever
when attended by backsliding, was
religiously speaking, preferable to
outright negation. But now, after
listening to him, I was no longer
sure of my ground.
A knock at the door helped rele-

Bidding the caller enter, rose and

his breath coming in gasps.

lieutenant, "That is too terrible,

"Maybe I can help YOU" I offer
ed.
He studied my insignia for mo-
ment and with unfeigned chagrin
replied: II am afraid not. Only a
priest may say Mass"
I felt so helpless. The lieutenant
must have sensed it and, as if to re-

ons for his request:
"You see how it is, chaplain" he
sputtered. "There is a battle going

The lieutenant compressed his
chin and began to bawl.
From here on the captain took
over. He seized the lieutenant by
the shoulders and Strengthened him
out. "Stop being silly!" he COM
manded. Hasn't anyone told you
the secret ?"
The lieutenant perked up. "What
secret?" he asked excitedly.
"The bastards! 1.-THE captain swore

have kept it from you. "Well''-
and here he dropped his voice to a
whisper, "ours is the first unsink-

Look. I am an engineer, a naval

ing about. Get me straight, this
ship cannot sink. The damn Nazis
can fire all their torpedoes at her
and still won't send her down.
Never, do you get me?"
The daze dropped away from the
lieutenant. Almost gaily he ques-
toned: "You are not kidding me,
captain, are your"
The captain assumed hurt pose.
"How dare you suggest such a
thing?" he demanded stern1y. 1--WE
told you the truth. This boat is
unsuitable. And that's all there's
to it."
AS the junior officer turned to
go, the captain quickly changed
from sternness to cordially.
Scare to have a spot with me?"
he wheedled.
A little later he explained to me.
He was afraid the yarn might not
stand up for long, so he thought
he could straighten it by a show
of camaderie. Evidently, though,
he must have underestimate the
strength of his own taradiddle.
Thanks, sir the lieutenant beg
ged off. Haven't got a minute to
spare. The boys are waiting for me.
Must get the good news to them
at once. Oh, God, what joy;" And
he streaked out of the cabin.
The moment we were alone, the
captain treated himself to another
jigger and smiled complacently.
"Do you know, Padre" he said,
II rather like the kid. He's got
good stuff in him, all right. You
must have noticed that as we'll as
I. Sure, he was frightened. But
take it from me, fear is not the

I'll bet you on that. Why do you

what deferred him. The boys were

"Of course" agreed not too
patiently. "But what's so re-

The captain walked up close to
me and for seconds fingered my
tie.
"I'u tell you what's so remark
able about that" he argued. "Here
we live in a world where millions
are daily mounting the stupid pro-
