Local Woman and Daughter Freed
By Texas COnvicts Who Fled Prison

She said one of them claimed he
could handle a plane and wanted to
steal one so they could fly to Mexico.
Il told them they wouldn't be able
to get gas for "a plane if they did
find one as the Government has cut
down on the aviation gas supply be-
cause of the strike" she said The
men found a small airport with an
unguarded cabin plane near Vclasco
but they couldn't get gas from a
pump.
At Vclasco they broke into a hard
ware store. Then one left the others
at that town and another at Angle
ton Just after the first brush with a
posse. The convicts drove through a
roadblock and then "a slow moving
freight train cut off pursuit. There
was some shooting as we sped over
the railroad crossing" Mrs. Sproles
said. 81 got down in the bottom of
the car and prayed for Clara 10 and
me" On the other side of the cross
ing the convicts released Mrs. Sprolcs,
the girl and Scarcy.
Mrs. Leila Sprolcs demonstrated
NERVES of iron" during and after
her ordeal as hostage, according to
telephone message received ycstcr-
day by her mother in Oakland. Mrs.
Schoch said she first heard of her
daughters experience after radio
broadcast and Immediately put in a
call to the office Of the physician for
whom Mrs. Sprolcs works as a lab
oratory tcchniciau.
The doctor told Mrs. Schoch that
neither Mrs Sprolcs nor the child
had been hurt by the convicts OF
shaken by the fivc-hour ordeal
Mrs. Sproles was born in Oakland
and attended school in Texas where
the Schoch family lived from 1925 to

gloves, except chamois or doe
skin, right on your hands, mani
pulating your hands as if you
were washing them. For extra
soiled spots use additional fluffy
suds or a soft, well-lathered
brush. You may need to work up
a second basin of suds if the
first bath dies down too quickly
Dry carefully: After gloves are
clean on the outside, work them
off yor hands so that they are
inside out. Wash the wrong side
we'll, too, then rinse the gloves
in several cool waters. Doeskin
gloves benefit from bit of soap
in the final rinse water. Blot the
gloves in a Turkish towel.
Smooth out the wrinkles and
separate the fingers by blowing
gently into the gloves. Dry them
flat on a towel, far away from
heat. Tissue paper inside the
gloves will keep the palms and
backs from touching and cut
down drying time.

NEED THIRD
FEDERAL JUDGE
Frear Regrets House Failure
to Approve Creation of New
Judgeship in State
TO MAKE ANOTHER TRY

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear has expressed great regret
over failure of the house of repre-
sentatives to approve legislation
creating new federal judgeships.
The bill contained a provision for
the designation Of a new federal
Judiciary post in Delaware. The
Senator declared that the extensive
amount Of litigation which comes
before the Delaware Court clearly
requires that a third judgeship be
created. At present the State Dis
trict has two such posts. Mr..
Frear pointed out that Delaware
incorporation laws are of a type
which encourages companies to
charter their organizations in the
state. "As a result" he continued,
many of the legal matters which
arise in conjunction with these cor
porations are brought before the
Federal District Court of Della
ware" The Senator explained that
there were variety of reasons
why the House of Representatives
failed to approve the bill. 1T is
not my intention" he added, ITO
discuss or analyze that vote, but
it is worth noting that the Con-
gressional delegation from Della
ware did all it could to obtain pass
age of the legislation" Senator
Frear said that if the House fails
to reconsider the measure before
adjournment, he will offer new leg
islation when the 83rd Congress
convenes next January. In other
comments on Congressional affairs,
Mr.. Frear said that the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee,
of which he is member, will hear
Mr.. Charles E. Wilson, former De-
fense Mobilizer, and various other
government officials this week in a
further effort to settle the contro-
versy over seizure of the steel in
dustry by the President.
