$551,000,000 defense program.
Well-informed legislators sold
today the project pointed toward
a complete reorientation of Ameri
can policies in the tar east.
For Plains, Submarines
The president's defen.se message
to congress yesterday endorsed the
augife.ition of a naval board for
Immediate establishment of a ma
jor air and submarine base on the
isadonly about 1.500 miles
from Tokyo.
Such a base, the board said,
would:
1. Assure practical Immunity of
the Philippines auainst a major
attack.
2. Reduce to Us simplest terms
the defense of Hawaii and the con
tinental coast of the United States.
3. Assure the ability of the
American fleet to operate with
greater freedom in meeting emer
gency conditions that miKht arise
in the Atlantic.
Tokyo already has eyed with
annoyance the establishment of an
American trans-Pacific commer
cial airline which has way points
at Honolulu, Midway, Wake and
Guam. Japanese newspapers said
these islands could be used for

The airline was started late In

Furor Raised By LOC
Said Political Error

considerable opposition, but would
not advise his questioner on
whether or not to forget the bill.
The league man apparently talk
ed with others who alBO told him
that the bill would have hard go
ing In times like these. From
these men, the newspapers got
wind of what was going on and
printed the Item. Several legis
lators agree that If nothing had
been said In the newspapers, the
bill would have quietly passed out
of the picture.
The net effect of the furor has
been to offend not the press but
the legislators, who think that they
are being put "on the spot." In
view of the hostility toward the
league In the last session, it is
hardly possible to assume that the
LOC is off on the right foot during
the current legislature.
Official legislative Investigator
for the league, incidentally, is
Thomas II. Tongue, who graduated
from the Oregon law school in
11134. He is in Salem codifying
city ordinances and is also on the
lookout for anything which affects
the league as yesterday's quarrel
manifestly did.
Party Of Elks Visit

A return visit is expected from

5 Convicts Fail
In Alcatraz Plot

on clothing from them as they ran,
and Martin actually had obtained
pieces of driftwood which he was
attempting to tie together with hit
clothes.
The incoming tide was just on
the verge of turning, making it
somewhat easier to swim the mile
to the mainland, but whether the
convicts knew this was problemat
ical. "All of the men are regarded as
ringleaders of the plot," Warden
James A. Johnston said. "It is a
mystery how they got out of their
cells, and any theory would be
wholly speculation."
He said they scrambled down the
western side of the irland, toward
the Golden Gate. Four were dis
covered in approximately the same
place, about midway between the
old wharf and the prison shop,
where Guard Royal C. Cllne was
beaten to death during a previous
escape attempt.
Started Maklll Raft
The negro ran away from his
companions when guards started to
shoot, and tried to rig hii raft from
driftwood.
"It was the thlckeat fog I ever
saw," Warden Johnston comment
ed. "It had been very foggy all
day. It is a constant problem on
the Island, because probably nil
of the convicts have the idea at
one time or another."
The island, formerly a Spanish
prison and an army disciplinary
barracks, has had previous escape
attempts, beatings and sitdown
strikes since it was made a federal
prison.
The first prisoners, including
"Scarface" Al Capone, former Chi
cago gang leader, were housed on
the island In 1934. Capone recent
ly was transferred to the terminal
prison at San Pedro.
Warden Johnston himself once
was attacked and beaten by a con
vict in the prison dining room.
Normal activities of the prison
were suspended immediately after
today's attempted break, and all
inmates and cells were to be
searched thoroughly.
berlaln repeatedly of his deter
minatlon to work for peace, lend
ing it point by his declaration
that he does not mediate hostil
ities against France.
Presumably that would mean
direct negotiations with France
on his Mediterranean demands
since Chamberlain' firmly refused
to mediate. The French con
sidered the refusal a diplomatic
setback for Mussolini.
The Spanish war seemed to
have been the one point on which
Chamberlain and Mussolini found
themselves least in agreement.
Mussolini had hoped to get Cham
berlain to recognize the national
ists as belligerents, to enable
them to blockade the loyalist
coasts legally and starve out the
republican government.
instead, it was believed, Cham
berlain challenged Mussolini to
fulfill his promise to take his
troops out of Spain, made when
the British - Italian friendship
agreement was negotiated last
April.
CONDUCT SEARCH
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. W)
More than 300 "hard boiled" con
victs were locked in their cells on
Alcatraz island today for careful
inspection as a result of an at
tempted Jailbreak by five prison
ers." Director James ". Bennett of the
federal prison bureau said all
normal activities would be sus
pended at Alcatraz pending a thor
ough search of every inmate.
He said prison officials had "no
idea" where Arthur (Doc) Barker
and his fellow convicts obtained
the saw blade with which they
early today escaped from their
cells and gained the water's edgo.
Every prisoner's clothing, shoes,
bedding and cell will be subjected,
he said, to closest examination.
