There is plenty of crude oil on
hand for refining, but transporta-
ton to the refineries is lacking.
Most dealers plan to handle
the situation by not taking any
new customers and by proportion
their supply among their old
customers as well as they can.
Some OF the local distributors
will receive the same monthly
allotment they got last year,
while others have been cut in
their allotmentS. One dealer said
he had been cut to two thirds
of his usual supply.
For the most part, the dealers
believe the worst of the shortage
will last only six to eight weeks,
with less severe shortage from
three to six months, depending
on the transportation to the re-
fineries. More crude oil will be
used for fuel oil, cutting down the
gasoline supply, but since the
farm needs and auto travelling
are so much lighter then, that
will not present any trouble.
However, people installing new
oil burners may find it hard to
get fuel

INMATES ESCAPE
AT REFORMATORY
CAUGHT FRIDAY
Short-Lived Freedom
Ends At Mechanicsburg;
Go Through Window

TWO inmates OF Lne heIOrHla-
tory for Women were back in
the Institution early Saturday
after a little more than "a hours
furtive freedom following their
escape Thursday evening.
The women are Dorothy Alex
ander, 20, of Toledo, and Jozelia
Smith, "a, Cleveland, both colored.
They got out through the win
dows of their rooms in Lincoln
cottage about 9:15 pm. Thursday
and were captured around mid
night, Friday, a half-mile east of
Mechanicsburg.
Their capture was due to the
alertness of a motorist whose
headlights happened to suddenly
fall on the pair of fugitives. He
became suspicious when they ran
as soon as his lights spotted them,
and reported the incident to
Mechanicsburg police.
Mrs. Marguerite Reilley, super
intendent, said that the girls
were probably heard removing
part of their windows by the night
matron of Lincoln cottage as she
made her rounds. The matron
Immediately became suspicious
and called for male help, but by
the time a man could get to the
dormitory building and the rooms
unlocked, the girls had fled.
Removed Window Section
"The Matron did exactly as they
are all instructed" Mrs. Reilley
declared "We are short of help
out here and cannot afford to
take chances. Therefore, all our
matrons have explicit orders to
never enter room by them
selves after bedtime, regardless
of the occasion. 1t would be an
easy matter for lone matron to
be overpowered."
In order to escape, the girls un-
screwed sections of their steel
windows large enough for them
to crawl through. 1t was their
act of unscrewing the window
bolts which the matron had
heard.
= Search "as immediately started
throughout the vicinity, but by
hiding in bitches and sticking to
the fields, the inmates were able
to avoid capture for more than a
day. They wore blue overalls and
white shirts when caught, which
Mrs. Reilley explained is standard
clothing for many of the inmates
while working in the fields and
gardens at the Reformatory.
Three Escape Tries
The Smith woman was sent to
the Reformatory for armed rob-
berry in November, 1914. She was
paroled in July of 1945 and re-
turned as a parole violator in
December, 1916.
The Alexander girl was sent
to the Institution from Toledo in
May 1914 for delinquency. She
was then only II. Last weeks
try was her third escape attempt
since she was sentenced to the
Reformatory. Her second attempt
was in March, 1916 when she fled
in her night-gown.
She was caught the next day
between Delaware and Marion
when she stopped at a farm house
to get warm. That escape try was
also the last one at the Reforma-
tory until she and the Smith wo-
man tried it again Thursday.

SEATTLE, Dec. 2.-tR-A double edged investigation into the Sun day crash of an Alaska AlrllneS transport. and the resulting death of eight persons, continued today with Leon Cuddlebach, regional chief of the Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration, asserting that investi- gations have yet to determine:
 l. Whether the plane landed within a safe stopping distance from the end of the runway;
 2. Whether there was any func- tional failure of the large aircraft
 The plane, a DC-4 inbound from Alaska. overran the end of the Seattle Tacoma airport runway ploWed about ITS feet through muo and plunged over a sharp bank onto a passing automobile.
 Pilot James E. Farris, 37, of Se- attle, yesterday attributed the crash to failure of the planes hydraulic brakes. He said the plane rolled like it was on a led of ball-bear- ings" and then leaped 60-foo' embankment at the end ot the air. port runway.
 In Washington, the Civil Aero nautics Board ordered the company to show cause by Dec. l5 why II should not be required to stop scheduled operations between An chorage and Seattle. The Board said it's enforcement section as- serted the carrier was providing scheduled service between polnts not on it's established routes and particularly between Seattle ano Anchorage.
 In addition to the eight dead two others of the 2S passengers aboard the plane continued to DC hospitalized in critical condition.
