(UPD Nine convicts who escaped the Washington state reformatory here Wednesday night after beating two guards into sub mission were, still at large today. Ernest Timpeni, superin tendent of the reformatory, said the nine me.., from among the "tougher element" of the institution, made their break from their evening exer cise period about 8 p.m. The guards, Robert Fifield and Lester Sain, were treated at the reformatory infirmary and Fifield was taken to the hospital here for observation. Fifield suffered cuts about the face and head and a fractured index finger. Sain was knock ed unconscious but suffered only head injuries. Both guards were unarmed. Wife Slugged About three hours after the break - out, Mrs. Dorothy Brain, 27, wife of a reforma tory guard, was slugged on the head by one of the escap ees who broke into her home. Mrs. Brain -said her assail ant was Elvin Gilroy, 19, of Seattle. Timpani said that a car stolen in the Monroe area was found abandoned at Sno homish, seven miles from the reformatory. The interior of the car was spattered with blood, indicating one or more of the inmates was injured during their struggle with the guards. Timpani identified the es capees as -Roland Osterman, 21; Gilroy; John Emmest, 22; DeWayne Dunlap, 19; Robert Jacques, 23; Donald Frazier, 27; Eldon Spurgeon, 23: Wil liam Brown, 18," and Harry Harris, 20.

Q 3 59 i SH 69 I I M LUG 89 69 2 89 2 89 ine Letters Declared Typical Bid for Favors Washington (UPD House investigators today caled mil lionaire Bernard Goldfine's "true facts" letters to nearly 400 congressmen a "typical Goldfine" play for special treatment. But they voiced confidence it won't have any effect when the House decides whether to cite Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams' gift-giving friend for contempt of Con gress. They predicted over whelming approval of the contempt citation. Friday Vols Seen Speaker Sam Rayburn said the House probably would vote Friday on the citation already approved unanimous ly by both the House influence-investigating subcommit tee and its parent Commerce Committee. If the House also approves, Goldfine would face almost certain prosecution in 'a fed eral district court. If convict ed he could be sentenced to a maximum of one year in prison and fined $1,000. The Boston textile tycoon, who lavished vicuna coats and other gifts on public offi cials, sent identical letters Wednesday to all House mem bers except members of the Commerce Committee. It out lined what a spokesman for Goldfine called the ."true facts" about Goldfine's testi mony before the influence subcommittee. Accusation Held Unjust It repeated his contention it was unjust to accuse him of contempt for refusing to answer 22 questions about his tangled finances. It also re peated his claim the questions were not relevant to the sub committee's investigation of his alleged influence-for-fa- vors relationship with Adams. Goldfine also sent along in advance a friendly note to each congressman's adminis trative assistant thanking them in advance for slipping his "true facts" letter "near the top of the pile on your boss' desk."
