Newspaper Page Text8 The Week in California Three Convicts Still Missing; Legislature to Consider Bonds Uniltd Fmi International Three bank robbers last week escaped from their cells in Alcatraz-one of the world's toughest prisons to crack-by digging through a thick con crete wall with kitchen spoons. The massive search that fol lowed was described as the largest Justice Department manhunt in the history of the West. The three got out by dig ging through an eight-inch concrete wall with the "all purpose'.' spoons and making their way up a 30-foot high wall to the top of the build ing, where they pried apart bars and escaped through an exhaust duct. The men left dummies in their beds with plasler-like faces which had been painted and topped with hair. The "bodies," under blankets, were of blankets and pillows. A 10-Hour Start Officials estimated the three had nearly a 10-hour start be fore they were discovered missing at a morning cell check. Air, sea and ground patrols Immediately began a search of the San Francisco Bay Area for the escapees bidding for the first known success ful break from Alcatraz. The missing convicts were John William Anglin, 32, and his brother, Clarence, 31, both of Montgomery, Ala.; and Frank Lee Morris, 35, of New Orleans. The yellowed "rock" in the middle of the bay is consider ed one of the world's most nearly escape-proof institu tions. No one knew, however, whether the three were dead or alive. Soldiars Go Alhort Carbine - carrying soldiers swarmed ashore on brush covered Angel Island looking for the convicts. H.clicopters and patrol boats searched the bay. The FBI threw 300 men into the search. Ten convicts have drowned In the treacherous waters ot the bay or have been killed in previous escape attempts. Two others vanished in 1057 and were never seen again. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Legitlaturo: Gov. Edmund G.

Massive Nuclear Explosion Set For Next Week Washington -WPft- It Would take a string of railroad freight cars almost 190 miles long to haul enough TNT to equal the nuclear blast the United States plana to set off over tne .Pacific early next week. The atomic energy commis sion and the defense depart ment announced Thursday that the first in a series of high-altitude shots over John son island is scheduled to be set off between 11 a.m. next Monday and 2:30 a.m. next Tuesday, Hawaiian Standard Time. The explosion will be in the megaton range, meaning it will unleash a force equal to 1 million tons of TNT or more. Defense department o r d- nance experts normally pack no more than 50 tons of TNT in a freight car. Thus, 20,000 freight cars would be needed to haul 1 million tons of TNT. Make A String Since the nornml freight car is 50 feet long, 20,000 cars would make a string 1 million feet long, or more than 189 miles. The largest known nuclear blast set off by the United States equaled 15 megatons, or the equivalent of 300,000 freight cars of TNT. Russia's 57-mcgaton monster bomb detonated last full equaled the explosive force of 1,140,000 freight cars of TNT or a string 10,773 miles long Next week's high-altitude U.S. atomic blast was expect ed to disrupt certain radio sig nals and be seen in Hawaii, about 800 miles away. The first attempt to explode a nuclear device over John ston island failed June 3 when a Thor missile carrying the bomb was destroyed because the tracking system did not function properly. The atomic device was de stroyed with the missile. Four Vehicles Are Involved in Crashes Four vehicles were involve led In two accidents Thursday, according to Medford police.
