CHURCHILL's soN-IN-LAw

Best story on the distinguished British ,visitcr now arriving in the LISA concerns Churchill's eX-son- in-law. Vic Oliver, the famous stage comedian.
 Oliver is now divorced from Churchills daughter, but shortly before the divorce he called at No. 10 Downing Street to see if he couldn't help patch up his matri- monial affaiIs. At dinner with his father-in-la and various other notables, Oliver popped a. question calculated, he thought, to warm the soul of the then British Prime Minister.
 Sir" he said, leaning across the table and looking sweetly at his father -in-law, who, in your. opin- ion, will emerge as the greatest leader of this war?"
 But before anyone at the table could come back with the expected answer that Winston Churchill himself was the greatest war leader, his glowering father-in-law shot back:
 "Mussolini"
 "Mussolini?" count tered the puzzled MT. Oliver Why do you say Mussolini?"
 Because" replied Churchill, he at least had the good sense to shoot his son-in-law."

Jail Detail Removal
Urged by Callahan
In February Letter
from YESTERDAYS Last Edition.

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.D
Maj. Harvey G. Callahan, super
intendent of police, recommended
to District Commissioner John Rus
sell Young last February that police
details be removed from security
assignments at the District Jail and
also at Gallinger Hospital, cor
Tespondence made available at the
District Building revealed today.
Maj. Callahan wrote at that time
that his men had been on security
duty at the Jail since the November
"a escape of five prisoners and that
the Jail officials were making no
attempt to reorganize their staff to
take over the work.
He said the maintenance of three
four-man shifts at the Jail was
costing the Police Department about
500 a day of police appropriations
and he felt the cost of Jail security
should come from Jail funds.
Maj. Callahan told Mr.. Young the
manpower situation had eased con-
siderably and that many applicants
for police jobs being rejected by the
police department for minor defects
would probably welcome job as
jail guard. He added that present
traffic and crime conditions made it
essential that all members of the
police department be available for
the regular police duty.
The police chief used the same
arguments in recommending with
draWal of three policemen assigned
to the psychopathic ward at Gal
Inger Hospital since last June.
Both Mr.. Young and Commis-
sioner Guy Mason approved the
proposal with respect to the Jail.
but wanted to discuss it in board
meeting with Welfare Director Ray
Huff, Budget Officer Walter L. FoW-
Ter and Maj. Callahan. AS yet, how
ever, the Commissioners have not
acted officially on the suggestion.

Office to see whether this man had
ever been licensed
In his appearance yesterday before
the investigating committee, In
spector Barrett said he learned that
Howard had been selling whisky to
the prisoners at S. pint and baked
chickens at $40 a pound.
Was that ceiling?" Chairman
Hebert asked.
Reopening of Case Urged.
The chairman then inquired about
Howard's record before he was en-
ployed at the Jail. 1t was not toe
good, Inspector Barrett said. ex-
planning that Howard had been a
special policeman at the Washing
ton Terminal and had been fired
for wrongdoing,'
Chairman Hebert then pointed out
HoWard's name has been mentioned
SO often in the investigation that ht
was suggesting that the district at.
torney reopen the case.
The officer said the prisoner who
was smuggling letters to accom-
plices outside the Jail later turned
up, to his astonishment. as a trusted
inmate with special privileges. This
man now is in the Lorton Reforma
tory, the inspector added.
After the November break, In
spector Barrett said he searched
the cell which had been occupied
by Michael J. Quinn, ringleader in
the escape.
I'VE found" said the inspector

town area were on the lookout and
it is improbable Mcfarland could
have eluded them.
Mcfarland said he visited the
movie after first eating at a Wash
ington restaurant. About 7 pm. he
started walking to Alexandria where
he persuaded an unidentified man
to give him his clothes in exchange
for the remnants of the policeman's
uniform he had worn from the Jail
Then he caught ride to Richmond.
After arriving in Asheville, N. c.,
by freight train, he went to Knox
vile by another train but decided to
spend the next five days in a
wooded area near the town.
Bought Dungarees.
Later he was able to borrow $40
in Knoxville and purchased blue
denim dungarees and blue shirt
FBI agents said.
McFarlands capture recalled to
Deputy Sheriff Cas- Chumlea that
he was the first man ever to arrest
him.
Il never thought he would turn
out to be killer" Mr.. Chumlea
said, remembering Mcfarland as a
"likable little fellow"
He said his mother had died
when he was young and he just lived
from place to place. l used to talk
to him and tell him not to get into
more trouble-to be good boy and
go to school. But I guess it was too
late-even when he was 12."
Sentenced to die June IA for the
murder of Miss Berrum on Hains
Point october S, 1914, Mcfarland is
the eighth of nine District Jail fugi-
tives to be recaptured since the first
of series of breaks November "a.
Mansour Still at Large.
Only John Mansour, one of the
five men who sawed their way out of
cellblock November "a, is still at
large and the FBI said today it is
pressing search for him in the
New York area, where he is believed
to be hiding out.
One Of the NovembG "a fugitives,
Paul A. Nicewander, salso was cap
tured in Knoxville and prosecuted
there in connection with two savings
and loan bank robberies.
The search for Mcfarland was
concentrated in the South because
he was born at Maryville, Tenn, 10
miles from Knoxville and his wife
and child live at New Bern, N. C.
Mcfarland apparently learned the
art Of escaping at tender age. He
boasted to reporters yesterday that
he had been put in reform schools
nine times, only to Slip away each
time.
