"To whom it may concern:
~ am assuming full responsible
1ity for anything that happened
involving the highway patrol IN
the re-capture of Claude Gregory,
escaped convict from Halifax prls-
on in Halifax county on August
21st, 1947.
"When I arrived at the scene
where Gregory had been appre-
hended, he was sitting in a car
which was parked in a woods
path. Having worked IN and
around this area for several hours,
I was curious to know just where
the prisoner was appreAended. In
company with Patrolman Fields,
Wilson and Officer jenkins and the
convict, I rode back down in the
woods where he was apprehended.
I had no intention at that time of
doing anything to the convict, but
after we arrived at where he was
recaptured the convict made some
slurring remarks about the high
way patrol and displayed a very
belligerent attitude. To this. I
became rather incensed, possibly
due to my fatigue and physical
condition. At this point he was re-
moved from the car and man
handled by me. He was not
handcuffed to a tree as has been
and he was not serious
ly injured. This was in the pres
ence of Officer jenkins, who has
nothing to do with the mainland
ling of the convict, also Patrolman
Wilson and Fields, who had prac-
tically nothing to do with this in
cident. He was neither severely
beaten or seriously injured. He ap-
peared to be normal when we
turned him over to Sup't. Griffin
of the prison department. Sup't.
Griffin had no way of knowing
what had occurred.

mistake and this statement is

ward.

OF Relief Fund Abuses
By the Assosicfsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-New YORK
City's new welfare commissioner says
he will take action, II warranted,
against any member Of his depart
ment involved in alleged relie1
abuses and begin proceedings for re-
covery of funds that may have been
illegally disbursed.
The State Board OF Social Welfare
opened an investigation into the
city's welfare setup yesterday. charg-
ing at its first public hearing that ~
families ineligible for relief-includ-
ing a mink-coated divorcee with a
/ child born out of wedlock-were
among a home-relief families quar-
tered in hotels up to last May 81.
Bernard Shapiro, supervisor OF
social welfare for the State agency,
testified his investigation disclosed
| that little effort was made to re-
locate homeless families after they
had been lodged In hotels at rents
/ running from $1.50 to SO daily, but
averaging $3.50.
Following MIR. Shapiro's testimony,
City Welfare Commissioner BenJa-
min Fielding said he had requested
records of the questionable cases"
and that action If fully justified"
would be taken on the basis OF the
evidence.
Mr.. Shapiro described some OF the
relief clients, who he said had been
ouartered Illegally in hotel rooms
by the welfare department, as:
A woman who lived there with her
common-law husband.
A mother and her three children,
drawing $50 a week on relief, whose
husband was a $100-a-week automo-
bile salesman.
An alcoholic mother who neglect
ed her children.
The woman in mink who, when
she applied for relief, was given a
monthly grant of $222.75. although
she had received 100000 from her
divorced husband since 1910 and was
fully employable.
Mr.. Shapiro said he based his
findings on the ,city department
records. He related that when a re-
lief investigator called on the latteI
case at her hotel he noted "in awe"
that she wore very fine mink coat
dressed very we'll and appeared &C
customed to a very high standard
of living"
The woman was lodged in hotel
from December 2, 1916, to May 81
1947, the investigator testified, be-
cause she said she was used to ex-
pensive hotels. Later she was placed
in a furnished room, drawing an al
lowance of 1852 monthly, he added
Widespread publicity given the
hotel relief cases last May resulted
in the State investigation.
Mr.. Shapiro said he believed th'
quartering of some Of the families
in hotels during the early months
of this year was justified because
of limited housing facilities, but de-
clared the city welfare department
was "remiss in its duties in safe
guarding funds by using this as
permanent solution"

WASHINGTON, April 17.-tR Senator w. Lee ODaniel of Texas has introduced a resolution i'll the Senate for an investigation of the Texas City disaster.
 ODaniel told the Senate:
 T realize that this series of ex- plosions could have been acciden- tai, and l do not want to charge or insinuate that anybody could have been so mean or debase as to have planned and executed this disaster"
 But O'Dan.el added that he be- lieved there should be an investi- gation-to use his words-"in view of the high tension on internation- al affairs. due to a rather large number of fires. explosions. railroad wrecks and other disastrous occur rences in this nation lately

HAWKES. AXES UP FIGHT

WASHINGT ON, April 17.-R- Senator Hawkes. (R-NU contended today that President Truman's Greek-Turkish aid proposal has "repudiated the membership re- responsibilities of the United States in the United Nations"
 As the Senate drove toward final action on the S400,0O0,0O0 assist ance bill next Tuesday, Hawkes. said it seems incredible to me that the United States, having spent so much time in helping to organize the United Nations, should now choose to play lone hand in the international arena"
 In an address prepared for floor delivery, the New Jersey Senator proposed first that the United Ma tions membership be boiled on whether they approve of the course we are going to take before we embark on it."
 He urged that an attempt then be made to reorganize the LIN "in such way that one nation, with the power of veto and an insa- tiable desire for expansion, is not allowed to block the peace of the world"

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, April 17.-R-A British spokesman said today his country would propose exclusion of all five major pow CTS from the proposed committee of inquiry on Palestine which will he considered by the special ses- sion Of the United Nations Assem- ply beginning April 28.
 Britain also was reported op- posed to granting committee rep resentation to either Jews or Arabs. The committees task will be to sift all available informa- tion on the Palestine problem and make recommendations to tEe reg ular assembly session meeting in September.
 Under the British plan, the spokesman said, the committee would comprise about dozen small powers who have little or no direct interest in the highly controversial question, so that it could avoid the pressure which might result if interested parties were represented.
 Delegates submitted written ques- tions on atomic control and in- spection today for the Soviet Union to answer.
 Following procedure agreed up- on in closed session, members of the working committee of the commission shaped their queries in writing, and Andrei A. Gromyko Soviet delegate, was expected to answer in writing.
 Delegates intimated that the question in which most were in- terested was this:
 Does Russia want inspection of atomic plants by international per sonnel responsible to an interna- tional agency or does Russia want inspection by national personnel responsible to an international agency?'

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Fer the first time since he took over the Speak ership reins, Joe Martin faces a serious revolt in House Republican ranks. The details have been hush ed up. but COP Congressmen from IT western states are really up Ill arms over heavy slashes the House Appropriations Committee is plan ming for irrigation and reclamation. The battle illustrates the tough time Republicans are having III achieving their promised budget pruning.
 Stung by reaction from home, western spokesmen laid down the following ultimatum in a secret meeting with Martin and House Majority Leader Charles Halleck: Ii Appropriations Chairman John Ta- Der and Rep. Robert Jones of Ohio carry out their ax-wielding plans, then western Republicans will bolt the party and vote with Democrats to restore the reclamation cut on the House floor.
 Since Speaker Martin so far has kept his ranks working tightly to- gether, this ultimatum is consider ed significant.
 Rep. John Phillips of California opened the battle by inquiring of Martin and Halleck if it was too much to ask the leadership to an- nounce a Republican position on irrigation and reclamation"
 Before the two leaders could re- ply. economy minded Taber and Jones jumped to their feet, assert ing that it was strictly up to the Appropriations Committee to de- eide the size of the Interior Depart ment's budget for irrigation and reclamation.
 Rugged Representative Lowell Stockman of Oregon, a member ot Jones subcommittee which handles the Interior budget, bluntly serv- ed notice that if the Appropria- tions Committee had the last word, then he would refuse to go along" with the rest of the committee.
 T shall oppose any drastic cut in the lifeblood of these western states, regardless of the position of either the subcommittee, to which I belong, or the full Approprla- tions Committee" Stockman an- nounced heatedly.
