The convicts in the segrega-

nous diet and are fed through
the cell bars.
On December 7 all the bars
and guards and barbed wire at
Ivy Bluff failed to prevent one
of the biggest jailbreaks in the
history of the Middle Atlantic
States. The breakout. in turn,
set of a gigantic manhunt
over the entire continental

of a world trade center and
international custom-free zone
The trade group has been
studying the possibilities OF
establishing a permanent in

to bring the 1868 worlds fair
here, Largo, in Prince Georges
County Md. was mentioned as
one possible location.
In supporting the Chantilly
area in Fairfax and Loudoun
Counties. Mr.. Broyhill said the
Dulles Airport would create q
hub Of activity" through which
millions Of American and for
eign tourists would pass.
"Air freight will facilitate the
work Of the trade fair, and
the international free port
zoning will encourage and
assist foreign nations in bring
ing in their exhibits" Mr.. Broy-
hill said.
He noted that the Sterling
Development Corp. had carried
on extensive research and plan
ming concerning the trade Gen.
ter in connection with their
large tract on the Loudoun

Arlington, and decided to head
for Mexico. They had lost their
way in Harlan County when
city officers there became sus-
picious of their car wandering
aimlesSly around the coal town
on December IL.
Tries to Get Away
Two Harlan squad car men
made the arrest but not with
out difficulty. One man climbed
out obediently but the other
two drove away, lost their way
again and drove confusedly into
the path Of the pursuing police
car. y
The last Of the fugitives to
be caught was seized by an
FBI agent and Chief Deputy
Sheriff Emmett Oliver Of Wa
tauga County, N. c., early
Thursday morning December
I'D in the rugged Appalachian
Mountain area near Boone,
N. c..
He was Woodrow Stewart, SO,
the champion escape artist OF
the whole crew. Stewart has
a record Of eight previous es-
capes from various prisons.
Deputy Oliver and the FBI
man came upon Stewart as he
sat in his parked car listening
to the radio. They approached
the car from behind and or
dered Stewart to surrender
tthree times. Instead, Stewart
threw the car into reverse and
attempted to back over the
officers.
The FBI man fired one shot
which passed through the body
Of the car and Stewart threw
in the towel. When Deputy
Oliver and the Oman yanked
open the car doors. Stewart had
a loaded .38 caliber pistol on
the seat beside him.
But he never tried to use 1t.
Two Still Free
Who are the prisoners still
at large? The manhunters are
still looking for:
Cleveland McNeill, colored,
81, of Fuquay Springs N. c.,
who was serving Is years for
assault, housebreaking and es-
cape. McNeill was once with
the group near Lynchburg, but
the FBI has traced him by
flngerprintS in a stolen car to
as far as Randallstown, Nd,
near Baltimore. But that was
December IL. He could be any
where now.
Willie Shaw, 90, colored, of
Rougemont. N. c., a lifer for
rape. One of Shaw's claims to
notoriety is that he was tried
last month for purposely
manning himself at Ivy Bluff
(as he claimed) for brutality
and because of the tough dis
ciplinary program. Shaw told
a judge, They're killing peo-
pie at Ivy Bluff" But he and
six others were sentenced to
an additional year for break
ing their own limbs and for
amputating their own fingers.
In North Carolina, State
Prisons Director w. F. Bailey
reacted swiftly to the Ivy Bluff
breakout.
Within the week, he had
fired Superintendent ]. D.
Meadows and three of the
guards who were overpowered
by the convictS. Mr.. Bailey
charged the escape was fos-
tered by laxity on the part of
the prison employees.
And the District Attorneys
Office in Caswell County, N. c.,
said a grand jury will inves-
tigate the prison from which
the convictS escaped.
But. even as the probers be-
gin their work, the manhunt
goes on.
1t will not end until the
remaining two are brought to
book.

The opinion had been fore

Mr.. Catterall's formal opin-
ion, in which the other COM

Minister-BuiIder

More than 40 years ago a
young man who had studied
two years at the old Washing
ton School Of Architecture
decided to leave that profess
sion and enter the ministry.
But the Rev. George d.
Oliver. who recently celebrated
his SIND year as a pastor.
never entirely severed his ties
with architecture.
In 1892 he came to the First
Methodist Church. Hyattsville,
Md. He drew up the plans for
the present church and over
saw its completion.
"Three-q uarters Of the
church came from the old
Reformation Lutheran Church
in Washington" Mr.. Oliver ex-
planned. 1T was being torn
down and we took an option on
the material"
Four years later he went to
Clarendon Methodist Church.
Arlington. This time the one
time architecture student drew
up the plans for the interior Of
the present sanctuary and for
its education building. He still
has copies Of the hue-prints.
After serving as superintend-
ent Of the Rappahannock Dis
trict from 1942-48, Mr.. Oliver
came to Dulin Methodist
Church, Falls Church, and once
again plunged into drawing up
preliminary plans for the en-
larged sanctuary and education
building.
/ The 70-year-old minister,
now at Leesburg Methodist
Church. insists his architect
ural ventures are over. But old
war horses rarely resist q call
when it comes.

Annual Conference here.
The 34-year-old graduate
and the Vanderbilt School Of
Religion landed at Bougie.
Algeria. in 1853 with his wife
and two children, Falierie and
Forrest.
Before going there he had
studied French at the Univer-
sity Of Paris, an important
adjunct for missionary to
French-speaking Algeria.
Taken by Rebels
Mr.. Griffith was in charge
of a Methodist boys home near
Algiers. capital Of Algeria. One
day last summer he took a
group of young boys and girls.
including his two children. by
car to q summer camp on the
outskirts Of the city. On his
return alone at dusk he was
stopped by rebel commands
on a road down a mountainous
gorge. The leader was a man
of 80 and the rest were in their
teens and earlier twentieS.
The missionary could not
identify himself to the satisfac-
ton Of his captors and was
ordered to leave the car and
60 with them. For 40 days he
led their lives. lurking in the
hills during the day and
marching with them at night.
1.-THE land belonged to the
French during the day but to
the rebels during the night"
Mr.. Griffith said.
For the first four days his
hands were tied behind his
back, q routine precaution
taken by the rebels. After that
the bounds were taken of. At
all times he was well treated,
he said.
During this time the rebels
were seeking someone who
could identify Mr.. Griffith.
This came, quite Unexpectedly,
when one day a man who knew
him supplied the needed verifi-
cation. He was an insurance
agent, also a rebel. with whom
the missionary had done bust
ness.
But the American could not
be released until the top leader
of the rebels said so. That re-
quired more weeks Of marching,
hiding. living in the mountains,
before the overall head was en-
countered. He accepted Mr..
Grifhth's story and ordered his
release.
Towards evening the mission
airy and a young rebel officer
walked quietly into the village
of Dgedj. The date was Sep
TENDER 81, 1858, and it was Mr..
Grifith's 34th birthday. The
officer left him at the entrance
to the Catholic mission in the
nearby hills.
Algiers was not far away. He
reached there and learned the
North Africa Provisional An
nual Methodist Conference was
being held. His wife. who had
steadfastly believed he was
alive while the others had given
up hope, was there. -.
Birthday Present
The American counsel, to
whom Mr.. Griffith had gone.
entered the hall, whispered his
mission to the bishop, who
asked that Mrs. Grifiths step
outside into the courtyard.
When she did so the counsel, a
close friend. told her, Il have
the best birthday present you
ever saw" He then called Mr..
Griffith from the car.
At the conclusion Of his
story the missionary, who has
a fine voice. was asked to sing
a hymn. He sang two. both in
Kabyle, the language Of the
aborigines. They were Show
ers of Blessings" and There
is Only One Saviour, Our Lord
Jesus Christ"
Mr.. Griffiths hopes to return
to Algeria and continue his
ministry in that country's
mountain ranges. Despite his
narrowing experience he has
q great love for the natives
