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:

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.
