Hidden Gun Used
In Virginia Escape

STAFFORD COURTHOUSE,
Va. Aug. 10 (SpeciaD A pris-
oner fled from the Stafford
County lookup after surprising
a deputy sheriff with a hidden
gun last night.
Police and bloodhounds lost
the track of the escapee three
miles south of Stafford Court
house.
The prisoner. Massie L.
Young, 81, had been jailed for
seven weeks awaiting grand
jury action next month on a
forgery charge.
He was transferred to Staf-
ford from Fredericksburg after
receiving a 16-year sentence
there on similar charges, with
eight years suspended on con-
dition of 10 years good be-
havior.
Salkeld Stamper, sheriff's Of

given to Young by an ex-jail

an arrest.
A loud argument over the
price of some spark plugs pre-
ceded the arrest, according to
testimony.
Ray, who said he has been a

told reporters he learned his
legal tactics through defending
himself "in courts all over the

BALTIMORE, Aug. 10-The
Maryland Legislature will be
asked to relieve massive over
crowding in the States penal
system = a problem drama
tized this week by a brief pris-
oner sit-down strike.
This was learned yesterday
from the Office of State Attor-
ney General C. Ferdinand Sy-
bert.
Next year the Legislature will
be asked to provide more money
for another Institutions $40
million plant to be located away
from any crowded metropoli-
tan area.
On Monday Mr.. Sybert held
that the State Board of Cor
rections had gone beyond its
authority in ruling that prison
inmates working on outside"
jobs could accumulate time of
their sentences for good be-
havior up to five days a month.
The boards ruling, adopted
July 8, went into effect August
/. The purpose was to alleviate
overcrowding in State prisons
The ruling resulted in pro-
tests starting last Thursday at
the 1,875-inmate Maryland
House of Corrections in Jessup
where prisoners not permitted
to work outside under mini
mum security conditions de-
manded that the time-of rule
apply to them. Many of them
about 500-then refused to
do assigned work in prison
shops.
The no-work protest had
spread by Monday to the Mary
land State Penitentiary in
Baltimore, with most of the
more than $500 inmates halt
ing work.
But the resembling Of the
time-off rule amounts now to
an admission of failure by the
board Of corrections in its
efforts to alleviate overcrowd-
ing. How bad the overcrowding
is can be illustrated by the
situation at the House of Cor
rections and the State Peni-
tentiary.
At Jessup the buildings were
designed to handle about 1,640
inmates. The actual prison
population stands at about

Race Pickets
Held in Auto

Two leaders of recent anti

District last night and charged
with a series of traffic viola
tionS.
Laurence G. Henry, 26-year-
old Howard University divinity
student, and Dion T. Diamond.

jailed at the 10th precinct
after a car driven by Mr..
Henry was stopped by police in
the 1000 block of Georgia ave-
nue. NV.
Pvts. w. F. Dixon anG J. J.
O'Brien said they saw the car
pass a stop sign at Allison
street and Iowa avenue NV.
The officers said the vehicle
also passed a stop sign at the
Iowa and Georgia avenue
intersection, and continued on
Georgia avenue at an excessive
speed.
The policeman said they
stopped the car in the 1000
block of Georgia avenue and
asked Mr. Henry for his permit
and registration. Words were
exchanged and Mr.. Henry was
asked to get out of his car and
into the police wagon.
Defendant Complains
Mr., Henry later complained
at the station house that the
officers used force to remove
him from the car and place him
in the wagon. He said he was
willing to go with the officers
but apparently moved too slow
for them"
Police said the other integra-
ton leader took Mr.. Henry's
keys and attempted to move
the car from the traffic lane of
Georgia avenue when he also
was arrested.
Mr.. Henry was charged with
passing two stop signs, excess
slve speed and weaving. Mr..
Diamond was charged with
failure to have a District driv-
er's permit. Mr.. Henry posted
$50 collateral and Diamond $50
and both were scheduled to
appear in Municipal Court

sister, was impounded.
The two men said they were
about to pick up a friend and
drive to the Glen Echo Amuse-
ment Park. where they have

cratic government which can
provoke war or attempt con-
quest by blackmail. Only on
a free government could
they exercise such restraint.
One reason the United
States has not been willing
to say it would destroy its
stockpile of nuclear bombs is
that to do so would weaken
its entire defense against
surprise attack. In the last
10 years the strategy of the
West has been built around
tactical weapons in the nu-
clear category, to be used by
ground troops, and big nu-
clear bombs. to be carried
by manned planes and naval
aircraft.
Now. with missiles to be
fired from fixed bases on
land and from movable bases
on and under the sea. poten-
tial destructive power has
reached a point that the ex-
pertS call "over-kill." This
means that whatever may be
produced in the future can
not be any more deadly and
that, for all practical pur-
poses, the power of devasta-
ton by nuclear bombs at
present is as far as it needs
to go to attain its lethal pur-
poses.
The United States a few
years ago abandoned its re-
lance on conventional armed
forces and concentrated on
nuclear strategy, because the
SovietS were doing the same
thing. Also, it would have
been prohibitive in coSt-So
the argument went-to rely
on bigger armies, navieS and
air forces equipped with con-
ventional weapons. All en-
phaSis was placed on deter
rent power" through nuclear
weapons.
Now, however, it is con-
coded that one side cannot
wreak havoc upon the other
without inviting massive re-
taliation. A stalemate has
