Prof. McKee's department is sald to have carried on more extensive researches into oil shale possibilities than any other group in the world. “The product we get from this shale is essentially the same as well petrole- um,” he sald. “We get gasoline from it which we cannot tell from the gaso- line obtaired from well petroleum.” 'NEGRO IS RECAPTURED 2 YEARS AFTER ESCAPE Walter Williams, Who Broke Out of Rockville Jail, Identified Driving Truck.
