Klaus Fuchs. the spy for

Lots Of things are taken for
granted nowadays, and one Of
them is the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
When a kidnapping occurs.
the whole country Is astir with
resentment and wants the
kidnaper arrested. The FBI
gets into action, and some
times for days and days there
Is no news. But in the end the
trail is found and the criminal
Is exposed. All this is accepted
Is routine by the public be-
cause it happens 50 often.
Now the FBI has entered
the case Of Cynthia Ruotolo
who has just been kidnapped at
Hamden, Conn. Authority to
do 50 was given by Congress
in q new law recently passed
which abolished the seven-day
waiting period previously inn
posed on the FBI.
The country is still talking
about the painstaking manner
in which the FBI ran down
the pieces Of evidence which
led the handwriting experts to
conclude that Angelo LaMarca
had kidnapped the Weinberger
baby. There have been other
kidnapings which have caused
Nationwide sensations, and in
nearly every one Of them the
FBI has played its part, either
uncovering the guilty ones or
cooperating with the State
and local authorities to achieve
the same result.
The mystery Of the famous
hold-up Of the armored cars
OF the Drinks company of
Boston now is being solved
with the trials Of the men
caught after many months of
quiet detective work. The FBI
has been in the case from the
beginning and has never
abated its efforts, though the
trail has often been disap-
pointing.

PerImon Refuses Seat
On Maryland Delegation

BALTIMORE. July IS R.-
Philip B. Perlman, who drafted
the civil rights plank of the
1852 Democratic platform, last
night turned down appointment
as a delegate to the 1856 ma
tional party convention.
Mr.. Perlman, former United
States Solicitor General, wrote
Chairman T. Barton. Harring-
ton Of the Maryland Democratic
State Central Committee he
would not attend the conven-
ton unless he could serve again
on its Platform and Resolutions
Committee.
The Maryland delegation
voted, 1873, Monday night to
assign the post to Philip H. Dor
sey, winner of both party pri-
maries last May for nomination
to the st. Marys County circuit
judgeship.
Perlman Supported Tydings
Mr.. Dorsey and Mr.. Perlman
were in opposite camps in the
primary, with Mr.. Dorsey back
ing George P. Mahoney for NOM
ination to the United States
Senate and Mr.. Perlman sup
porting former Senator Willard
E. Tydings.
Although Mr.. Tydings won the
close race, Mr.. Mahoney gained
control of the party organization
when candidates on his ticket
won a majority of seats to the
State convention. At the State
convention they approved a
national convention delegation
of SO Mahoney hackers and only
three Tydings supporters.
Mr.. Perlman was among many
veteran party leaders excluded
from the delegation, but Michael
j. Birmingham, a Mahoney ally
and delegation chairman, later
said he would see that room
would be found for MI. Perlman.

WOmdnFugitive
Back in Jessups

An escapee from .the Mary
land Women's Reformatory at
Jessups was recaptured here
yesterday after she telephoned
the institution and asked author
tiles to come and get her.
She is Elsie May Condron, %,
serving a robbery term.
Miss Alice Blum, superin-
tendent and warden of the re-
formatory, said the woman
walked away yesterday morning.
1t was the first outbreak of a
busy day that ended with State
troopers being called in to quell
disturbances.
Miss Blum said the Condron
girl got as far as Washington.
Then we got a phone call from
her asking us to come pick her
up. She was sitting on a curb
on Macarthur boulevard, watt
ing for U.S."
Woman Carries Knife
Shortly after the escape, Miss
Blum was told by an inmate that
a prisoner was carrying a knife.
The warden said she confronted
the woman, Gladys Smith, 20,
colored, narcotics violator, and
the prisoner tried to flee.
Miss Blum grabbed her. In
the ensuing struggle, Miss Blum
was scratched on the face. She
said the slight wound apparently
was a flngernail scratch. During
the battle a knife fell from the
Smith woman's clothing, but it
was not open, Miss Blum said.
/ The woman was taken to the
warden'S Office but broke away
again. She finally was seized and
led away. The chase in the
prison yard stirred an uproar in
one Of the detention cottages.
Miss Blum said that cottages
inmates include emotionally dis
turbed women. They were shout
ing and banging furniture
around, the warden said.
Called Emotional
She emphasized that it was an
emotional outbreak rather than
an escape attempt. She denied
a report that Marion Janice
Moseley, II, the Rockville child
bride serving an indeterminate
sentence for the strangulation
murder Of her 6-year-old half
sister, had Joined a demonstra-
ton caused by the Smith wom-
ans capture Miss Blum said
the Moseley girl was screaming,
but only because of pent-up
tension breaking loose under the
other women's yells Of fear.
The disturbance was not wide
spread, Miss Blum said. She
also denied reports that troopers
had to use tear gas to quiet the
screaming women, and that the
women broke furniture in their
cottage.

Pony Roundup
on
|Assoteuque

CH1NCoTEAGUE, Va, July Us
up. = Chincoteague volunteer
firemen lighted the old legend
of the wrecked Spanish galleon
again today and headed for the
annual roundup of the wild
ponies of Assateague Island.
From early dawn the firemen
rode their own mounts through
marsh grass and thicket and
herded the shaggy ponies down
to the channel for a drive
through the briny water to Chin
Icoteague at low tide.
The roundup and pony penning
is the high mark of the annual
flremen'S carnival. The sturdy
colts will be auctioned off to-
morrow to buyers from several
States. And on Friday the mares
and stations that are the brood
stock of the herd will be driven
back across the channel to
ASsateague to Craze peacefully
until carnival time rolls around
next year.
Only the colts are sold and in
previous years they have gone
under the auctioneer's hammer
at prices ranging from SIS to as
high as 5000.
The origin of the pony herd on
the windswept Eastern Shore
island is not a matter of exact
history. But the favorite legend
is that it is descended from
Arabian mounts which swan
ashore from a wrecked Spanish
galleon that fell prey to pirates.
A less favored theory is that the
ponies were put on the island as
a result of Colonial law Of 1922
requiring settlers to conf1ne their
horses.
