Wartime Distress Note
Tells Of Four on AfoII

HONOLULU. Sept. IS. -
scrawled plea for help-stuffed

some 1000 miles west of here.
The crudely-penciled note on

officers here could make out only
some of the letters of the sigma
lures: "Pitee -: A. c. KiSte -;

There was no way of knowing how
many remaining letters were in

routine checks and watchful wait
ing tonight.
The 34-year-old convict, who
gave the slip to a penitentiary
guard yesterday. appeared to have
''vaporized," Detective Inspector
Alvin Clinchard said.
But radio news broadcasts OF
the reports brought such an out
pouring of the curious that police
work was Snarled. The surging
shouting crowd apparently cloaked

II Alabama Convicts
Still OUT, 8 Retaken;;
Two Guards Fired
BY the Assoeiuted Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Sept. Is
Eleven convictS, including two
convicted murderers serving life
and one of Alabama'S most no.
toriouS deSperadoeS, were still at
large today after a mass break at
Draper Prison.
Hundreds of law enforcement
officers pressed the manhunt into
nearby States for the fugitiveS, be-
lieved to be heavily armed.
In all. 10 prisoners got away
last night from the prison at
Speigner, Ala, about % miles
north of here. after the guard on
the gate leading to the main cell
block was knocked unconscious.
Eight conVicts had been rounded
up and returned to the prison by
noon today.
Escape Artist Still Gone.
Leo Self, 33-year-old escape
artist with four previous breaks
and a pair of attempts on his
record, is among those being
hunted. He was serving a 20-year
robbery stretch.
The lifers who got away are
Hoover Glass and Frank Green,
both convicted of murder.
State Prison Director j. M. Nc
Cullough promptly fired two
guards, promising a breakdown on
prisoners and a general tightening
up in the guard system.
There might have been even
more trouble had not the warden
walked into the corridor of the
main cell block and ordered hum
dredS of prisoners who were mill
ing about back into their cells.
The warden, Burr Reeves, was
unarmed when he went inside to
quiet them.
Federal Experts Brought In.
This was the latest in a series
of prison disturbances which
marred the start of Gov. Gordon
Persons administration last Janu-
ary. Mr.. Persons banned use OF
the lash at State prisons and
brought in Federal penal experts
to help quell dissatisfaction among
the convictS.
Frank Green. a convicted muir
derer, was identified as the ring
leader of the break. He grabbed
the main gate guard, w. c. White,
and held him while another con-
vict helped beat him senseless,
using a mimeograph machine roll
ler as a club.
Mr.. White was not seriously in
jured.
Green and the other prisoner,
listed as Neal Nicholson, took Mr..
Whites keys, opened the prison
arsenal, then herded six guards
into the guard captains office
where they locked them up.
Phone System Ripped Out.
Nicholson has been recaptured.
They had previously ripped out
the prison telephone system.
officials said the convicts left
in two stolen cars with one sub
machine gun, four or five auto
matte shotguns and three or four
pistols. Only two shotguns were
taken from the first eight men
recaptured.
The guards dismissed for care
leSsness" were identified as r. w.
Minis and A E. Turner.

New Ohio Legislature
Looks Bad For Unions

Labor ds likely to get a rough
ride from the 1851 Ohio State
Legislature.
The labor committees in both
houses have been named. In the
Senate, there is one Democrat
on the nine man committee, Ar
thur Blake of Belmont County.
The others are a stone and
gravel operator, an Ironton bus
inessman, an Akron publisher,
David Ferguson (author of the
anti-Labor Ferguson Act), a. gas
producer and an insurance sales
man, with William III. Deddens
of Taft's home town of Cincin-

In the House there are three
Democrats (including Mike Da-

tee on Labor. Most of the others
are from rural counties where
there are more prejudices than

New Trial For Robert Martin
Being Considered By Judge

Judge Stanley A. Grzezinski
took under advisement Tuesday
the question of whether or not
there should be a new trial in
the case of Robert Martin of To-
ledo Scale on a charge of as
saulting Walter Murphy. Local
IL financial secretary-treasurer.
Martin was found guilty by a
jury Friday after two days of
trial.
The defense attorney, Steven
Markowski, was given three
days in which to appeal or file
for new trial, and on Monday
Martins lawyer filed % counts
on which he hoped a new trial
might be granted.
Then the technicalities flew
thick and fast. The jury was i'm
properly drawn, the evidence
was suppressed, the judges
charge to the jury was improp-
er - all these and more Mar

There S Money!
Thrown Out

Summer Camp acquired $50.17
in December from the turn in of
Ohio Sales tax stamps. The six
months previous averaged about
$40, according to Stanley Hell
miniak.
This money was obtained
without any organized drive to
gather in the wasted sales tax
stamps, Helminiak pointed out.
The assumption is that at least
four times as much can be
picked up if the membership
starts turning them in.
A drive to make every Local
IL member a tax stamp collector
is already under way.

Rediger Heads
March of Dimes
OCampaiign

More than 60 per cent of the
infantile paralysis victims in
Lucas County are from the fam
lilies of organized labor, Stanley
K. LeviSon pointed out this week
in urging union members to sup
port more generously than ever
the March of Dimes Campaign
which continues through Janu-
airy 81.
"Only when you or someone
close to you is stricken can you
realize the full meaning of this
disease and the staggering cost
of its treatment" stated Levison,
who is co-chairman of the cam
paign with John S. Yaryan. Both
men have had polio themselves.
A record goal of 100000 is
being sought by the hundreds of
volunteer workers who are can
vassing in the women's division,
manning four downtown booths,
placing iron lung" coin collec-
tors in stores, and collecting in
the schools. Contributions may
be made at any local headquar-
ters or by mailing to March of
Dimes. 600 Security Building,
Toledo 4.
During 1850, which was the
second worst polio year in the
nations history, there were 104
cases in Lucas Cunty alone. In
addition to new victims during
the year, the Lucas County
Chapter of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis
provided care for 38 who had
been stricken in previous years
and whose long fight back to
health continues.
More than 78 cents of each
dollar contributed to the March
of Dimes goes for patient care,
of seven years.
For one such case, Lucas
County Chapter has provided
more than $4,000 over a period
including the special treatments,
therapy, crutches, braces and
respirators as well as hospitali-
zation and nursing. Nearly II
cents goes for research in the at
tempt to find cures and preven-
tives for the disease, and the
remainder goes to health educa-
ton and administrative expense.
The need is greater than ever
here after four consecutive years
of heavy polio incidence in
Lucas County. Twice during this
period the funds Of Lucas Coun-
ty Chapter have been exhausted.
AS the March of Dimes cam
paign poster urges: LEND a
hand"
Representing organized labor
in the top leadership of the
March of Dimes are Howard
Rediger. Ray Flory and L. c.
Griffin.

charge be tried all over again,
before new jury.
No comment appeared in the
Toledo newspapers that Mar
kowski was conducting ''last
ditch, dilatory" action to block
justice; for this was not Bolman
wanting to look at books, but
Martin not wanting to be found
guilty.
Bolman, however, was on

Coupled with the fact that un-

prospects for liberal legislation

Lawrence got the equiva-
lent of $40 a week for a year
in benefits. He is ahead 25
cents an hour for a whole years
work; the amount he would have
had to spend if he hadn't had the
UAW-CIO protection.
Joe Siedlicki of W-O had some
hard luck, too. 1t ran into money
-$424.52 worth of money. But
it wasn't as much hardluck as
it would have been if he'd had
to pay it himself.
His UAW-CIO insurance, ne
gotiated by his union and paid
for by the company, paid $25
for anesthesia, a Ia day stay in
the hospital at $3.50 a day,
$80.52 for incidentals and $500
surgical fee.
This is the equivalent of an
$500 a week raise - because
he's that much money ahead for
whole year under the policy;
that is what he'd have to clip
out of his wages to pay that
bill. That $50 a week disability
helped, too.
Among others receiving cash
benefits under the hospitaliza-
ton plan UAW-CIO won at
Willys-Overland were:
Mary Ferris: $40 week dis
ability; 30 days in the hospital
plus >$127.50 incidentals for a
total of $382.5O. Surgical not

ability; 28 days plus $127.50|
totaling $365.5O Surgical not re-
ported.

ton plus $127.50 otaling
$263 so. $3.50 for surgical.

disability; 81 days plus $127 so
totaling $218.04. Surgical not re-
ported. ,.5et
Gilbert Case: $50 week dis

totaling $234.88. Surgical not re-

Alaska Salmon Institute Formed

Creation of the Alaska Sal mon Institute was announced March 26.
 The Institute is an advisory group of Alaska Salmon packers, organized to present the story of their industry to residents of the Territory. In it's advance an- nouncement, the Institute pledg- ed "tO do everything in it's pow CT to promote both the industry and the welfare of Alaska"
 A spokesman for the Institute continued:
 This group was organized be- cause we feel that the Alaska salmon industry has a good story to tell-a story of typical American enterprise-and be- cause it well ealizes that through the dissemination of truthful information there can come about better understand ing"
 Beginning this week, the h. stitutc periodically will adver- tise in all daily and weekly newspapers in the Territory.
 Through h e e advertise ments,' said the groups spokes- man, the Institute will tell you, frankly and honestly, about the salmon industry and how it af- fleets the people of Alaska
 The organization a also will sponsor weekly news analy- sis prepared d especially for Alaska listeners and broadcast by Sam Hayes, widely known commentator. II ayes will be heard over all Alaska radio sta tions every Sunday beginning April 8. Members of the Insti- tute pointed out that Hayes will prepare his own program with no direction or censorship on the part of the group. Another phase of the Insti- tute's program calls for the pub Iication of an informative, col orful 12-page booklet entitled w e l c 0 m to Alaska" This booklet primarily was prepared for the benefit Of newcomers, but is expected to be valuable to Old-timers also.
 Welcome to Alaska" will be distributed on p a n s. steam ships, trains, hotels, etc. Alas llans will be able to order the book sent to friends or relatives i outside, also.

Old "Vic" fc Flow Aioskun Waters in 81sf Yecr

She is grand old lady, 31 in fact, but the old Vic" will blow her sturdy nose through Alaskan waters again next week on her earliest sailing in five years.
 The famed 31-year old Alaska Steamship Company steamer Victoria was commissioned Mon day, March 26 for a March 30 trip to Seward, H. N. Peterson, company general traffic manag- CT, said last Thursday.
 The Vic is being taken out of layup to handle special cargo development to the Alaska Rail belt, beyond the capacity of reg ularly scheduled vessels" Peter son pointed out. "Of the several ships in our reserve fleet ready to meet unusual traffic demands, the Vic is particularly we'll suited for the type of packaged cargo that has developed this week"
 Captain Ben Aspen, who just returned with Mrs Aspen from an Alaskan vacation cruise on the steamer BaranOf, will com mand the Victoria this voyage, which will mark the beginning of another season in the color full history of this vessel.
 Built for the Cunard Line in 1870 and launched as the Par thia, the Victoria helped make Alaska gold rush history and was a familiar sight to sour doughs of that era, It was not uncommon then for her to han ale as much as S2 million in gold per trip from the Seward Penin, sula.
 For years the Vic" was the first to reach Nome after the ice breakup in the Bering Sea and the last to leave before naviga. ton closed in the fall.

 "A considerable number of letters and telegrams in opposi- tion have been received from teachers, school administrators, parents and civic groups, based on press dispatches, the burden of which is that this act lowers

the standards required of pros pective commissioner of educa- ton and that this is objection able. If the act did this l would consider these protests fully warranted.
 "A reading of the act itself, however, leads me to an entirely contrary view and in order to let the public know that l am aware of the protests, have given them full consideration and feel that the fears they reveal should be allayed, I am making this statement.
