It would not increase the total of the House bill to restore the author- ity asked for by the Commissioners to begin preparation of the under- pass plans, since they propose to ask construction under the Federal- aid highway matching system, if Congress authorizes the plans.

Whitehurst Explains Plan. Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, District highway engineer, expluined to the subcommittee the proposal is to un- derpass Sixteenth street and lay out & long oval that would make Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island avenues a simple intersection, east and west of the present Scott Circle. Scott’s monument would remain as the cen- tral feature, and other monuments near the circle would be relocated at either end of a proposed plaza. The Commissioners advised the Benators an increase in traffic con- gestion at Scott Circle was expected following the recent opening of the first underpass at Thomas Circle, and urged Congress to go forward with the Scott Circle project. Senator Overton said he favored the recommendation, and believed that after the Scott Circle underpass | is provided for, consideration should be given the following year to a Dupont Circle project. Department Officials Heard. ‘The subcommittee also heard officials of the Fire, Health and Public Welfare Departments yester- day afternoon in support of restora- tion of comparatively small cuts made by the House in budget estimates. Fire officials asked that the fund for replacement of old apparatus be raised from $44,750 to $51,750. The subcommittee also was re- quested to restore a budget estimate of $13,000 for a site for a new health center in the Northwest section of the city, together with small in- creases' for the Glenn Dale Tuber- culosis Sanatorium and for Gal- linger Hospital. An additional estimate for repairs at the Children’s Receiving Home also was considered yesterday. Christianity fo Restore Peace, Youth Tells Club Youth looks to a renaissance in re- ligion as the only prelude to peace in the present war, a 19-year-old Georgetown University student told members of the Washington Civitan Club at a luncheon meeting in the Mayflower Hotel yesterday. A second Sumner Welles will bring back encouraging news to his Presi- dent, George H. Cain declared, when *“the world has returned to Christian normalcy.” “The day is not far off when we shall see Christianity again standing ready to lead out the disillusioned forces of indifferences,” the youth, who is the youngest member of the Civitan Club, said. Among those listening to the speech, which brought long applause, was young Cain’s father, J. Harvey Cain, director of financial advisory service, American Council on Edu- cation. He said the present war, which he termed a battle between German and British imperialisms, does not make sense, but “it does make a lot of noise.” American youth, he added, wants no part in the war. Earlier a short talk was given by E. H. De Groot, jr., president of the Board of Directors of the Central Union Mission, urging members to aid in the mission’s fund-raising drive.

Posse Confinues Search for Three Lorton Fugitives Prison Truck Stolen For Dash Abandoned By Convicts Bloodhounds bayed today along the trail left by three convicts who broke out of Lorton Reformatory at dusk last night. A posse, which had searched all night for the trio, was reported to be in close pursuit. The blood- hounds had picked up the trail at the spot where the convicts had abandoned a stolen truck, which they used in their escape. The names of the three were given as Charles E. Leapley, 33, serving a term for'housebreaking; Willlam P. Crosswhite, 24, and Robert C. Chap- pell, 22, convicted robbers. Truck Commandeered. About 7:30 o'clock last night, the three slipped out of line after supper and hid in the prison yard until the other convicts had returned to their cells. Then they commandeered a prison truck, placing a sheet of heavy metal over the rear to aet as a shield against bullets, and started for a gate. They were unable to get through the gate, however, and wheeled the truck around to drive across an | open field. The vehicle got mired | in a ditch and they sbandoned it. Posse Is Formed. Their absence was noted a few minutes after they had fled and & posse made up of reformatory of- ficers and Fairfax County (Va.) policemen, under leadership of Ray Huff, superintendent of District penal institutions, set out after them. All night, the posse followed the reformatory bloodhounds through the dense woods in the vicinity of the prison. The chase led toward Alexandria and it was believed the convicts were hiding in the under- growth near that town. Mother Butler, Founder 0f Marymount, Dies at 79 B3 the Associated Press. TARRYTOWN, N. Y., April 24— The Very Rev. Mother Mary Joseph Butler, 79, superior general of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary and one of the Catholic Church’s foremost educators of women, died yesterday following a heart attack. She was the founder of the Mary- mount Colleges and Schasls in the United States and other countries— a system of education which in 30 years spread from Tarrytown to New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome, England, Ireland and Brazil. Mother Butler was the first Amer- ican to be chosen superior general of the Catholic order which was founded in 1848 at Beziers, France, by Mme. Eugene Cure. She was born in Kilkenny, Ire- land, July 22, 1860, but came to the Uninted States in 1877, For 30 years she taught in schools established by the order in Brook- lyn and on Long Island, until in December, 1907, the first Marymount School was founded through the philanthropy of her cousin, the late James Butler, founder of a chain store system. Mr. Butler’s wife, the former Mary O'Rourke, had died the previous year. He bought an estate on the Hudson River near Tarrytown Heights and there Mother Butler and seven nuns established a school and called it Marymount “in honor of Mary immaculate in memory of Mary O'Rourke Butler.” Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt, Jr., Is Out of Hospital By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., April 24—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., who was injured in a hunting ac- cident last month, yesterday was discharged from University of Vir- ginia Hospital and returned to her home on Fendall avenue. Stadium for the benefit of the Volunteers of America. Symphony Rushes ”Icebergs’ of Air Providing New Weather Forecast Tool Gigantic Masses Drifting Down From North Pacific Are Charted by Temperature Findings Plans for Belated Fund Campaign A. F. E. Horn Is Named Chairman of Drive Opening May 6 With a minimum goal of $107,600 set as a sustaining fund for the National Symphony Orchestra this year, officials of the orchestra asso- ciation today rushed preparations for a belated campaign to open May | 6 and continue through May 16. L. Corrin Strong, president of the Board of Directors, announced late yesterday that A. F. E. Horn had been appointed chairman of the Campaign Committee and that com- plete solicitation personnel would be lined up as quickly as possible. The delay in the campaign, due to a breakdown in negotiations be- tween the musicians’ union and the orchestra management, which was finally settled Monday, will make necessary a very hurried drive, Mr. Horn said, after conferring with ad- visors yesterday, but the unusual public interest shown in the recent crisis indicated the campaign, how- ever brief the preparation, will be successful. Mr. Horn further pointed out that | while the goal was set at $107.600— the minimum necessary to maintain the orchestra—officials hope that an additional amount will be raised so the season may be lengthened. Mr. Horn, head of the Washington office of General Electric Co., is | president of the Boys’ Club of Wash- ington and ‘a former president of the Rotary Club. He has taken an active interest in the National Sym- phony Orchestra since its founding. | Citizens” Head Assails {Changes inD. C. Parks Replying to Mrs. Roosevelt's press conference statement yesterday that “the District, for the average citizen, is not a good place to live,” Mrs. Leslie Wright, president of the Forest Hills Citizens’ Association jand secretary of the Northwest Council of Citizens’ Associations, to- day voiced satisfaction with the Dis- trict government, but branded as “destruction” changes made in the Capital’s parks in recent years under Federal P. W. A. and W. P. A. pro- grams. “I have been received with utmost courtesy by District officials and the House and Senate District Commit- tees,” Mrs. Wright said, “and I consider the government of Wash- ington the finest we could have.” She said she considered Mrs. Roosevelt's remark ill-advised, while | emphasizing she had “the greatest respect for Mrs. Roosevelt because of her high position and many in- terests.” She condemned alteration of park areas and mentioned particularly formalization of the Mall, which, she said, had caused removal of many shade trees, and restoration of the Pierce Mill wheel and races in Rock Creek Park, ruining a lovely picnic area.” Her husband, a student in the |2 university law school, said that his wife is “getting along fine,” and although she is still confined to bed and has a part-time nurse with her, he hopes she will be up in several days.

[} [ | [ | be the sea level temperature of its By THOMAS R. HENRY. Gigantic, invisible “icebergs in the sky” drift out of the Northern Pa- cific across North America. They are providing new landmarks for the weather forecasters in pre- dicting cold and storms, according to reports presented before the American Meteorological Society meeting here today. The new method of predicting is by means of an entirely new tool in meteorology—the isentropic chart. | Such a chart is made up daily by the Weather Bureau for the conti- nental United States by means of data obtained from upper air measurements of temperature, pres- sure and density. They are provid- ing valuable gs an auxiliary fore- casting-tool. | ‘The general nature of these charts | and the air mountains whose exis- | tence they reveal was explained by | Dr. H. Wexler of the Weather Bu- reau staff. How They're Charted. The higher one goes the hotter it gets—potentially. Actually, of course, it gets colder. | That is because the density is less. ‘The air molecules are further apart. ‘Eeach has a larger space to heat. If the air a mile high were suddenly squeezed to the same density as air at sea level it would be very much hotter. The chartmakers select a certain altitude and determine what would rir. Then they calculate, from air- plane and radiometeorograph ob- servations, the altitude of the air at other stations which, if brought down would have this same tem- perature. The result is a roller-coaster pic- ture—the isentropic chart. At times it dips almost to the earth’s surface. At others it soars miles high. These heights are like enormous air ice- bergs. They move across the country like bergs in the sea. Come From Northwest. For the most part, Mr. Wexler said, these “cold mountains” seem to originate in the Northern Pa- cific and come eastward across the United States. Tongues of warm air come into the continent from the Pacific over Mexico and the Southern Rockies and from the Gulf of Mexico over Florida. They strike the slopes of the “mountains.” If the circulation is right they tend to rise along these slopes. The moisture is squeezed out of them and falls as rain. A year ago, it was explained at the Weather Bureau, the isenthropic chary was a curiosity. Now one is made up every day and is proving an invaluable tool, especially for the predictions of local rains. This has always been one of the most difficult jobs for the forecaster, for failure at which he was most bit- terly criticized. Yet often the best he could do was make a glorified guess. The recognition of the cold moun- tains and means of keeping them charted constantly, it was explained, removes a great deal of this element | of the Weather Bureau staff told of a |new method of “tagging air” by | which it will be possible to locate | lieves, it will usually be possible tu‘. vesterday and released -on $500 | to_another. of guesswork. It is expected to prove especially valuable for pre- diction of thundershcwers—the bug- bear of all forecasters in the past. Mr. Wexler analyzed the very se- vere storm which swept over New England and New York on St. Val- entine’s Day in terms of the loca- tion of the moving icebergs. ‘Tagging’ Air. At the same time Dr. N. Nenburger tomorrow the air which the populace of New York or Philadelphia is breathing tonight. % Any mass of air, he explained, has three marks of individuality—its po- teritial temperature as recorded on the isentropic chart, its moisture content, and its spin. The latter | has not been recognized in the past. All air, Dr. Neiburger explained, is | “spinning” at various speeds and in | various directions. Any one of these characteristics | may change as the air moves. By a combination of the three, he be- | follow a mass of air from one place In winter the air which people in the United States breathe during a cold snap may be air which Eskimos near the North Polé were breathing a week before. It will now, Dr. Nei- burger believes, be possible to trace its progress step by step as it comes | southward. Bullet in Plunge Victim Is From Old Wound Police announced today that a bullet, found lodged in the body of Mrs. Margaret Frere, 29, who was critically injured Sunday in a plunge from the Calvert Street Bridge, had entered her body accidentally nine years ago. The presence of the bullet, near the woman's spine, was disclosed yesterday by an X-ray taken at Emergency Hospital, where she is under treatment .for injuries re- ceived in the plunge. Police hastened to investigate, but learned that the bullet had no con- nection with the case. James Frere 1124 Tenth street N.W. her hus- band, revealed that she had acci- dentally shot herself in 1931 in Huntington, W. Va. Witnesses to the accident corroborated the story.

Manor Park Citizens And WhittierP.-T. A. Hold Banquet Progress .of Section Outlined by One of Civic Group’s Founders The “history of the Manor Park area was recalled last night, and civic and school work was forgotten as the Manor Park Citizens’ Associa- tion and the Whittier Parent- Teacher Association turned to mere pleasant duties and entertainment at { their third annual banquet in the Whittier School auditorium. About 175 persons attended. Ernest Pullman, a founder and former presiderit of the civic group, told of the development of the Manor Park section since 1921, when an organization of some type was suggested. He recalled how he and A. J. Casale visited about 20 houses on & rainy night in September, 1923, to recruit the neighbors. A few nights later 25 persons gathered about ‘cracker boxes and counters” in_ the grocery store of B. B. Allison— the only store in the area—for the first mu,, . e 4 School Facilities Follow. Mr. Pullman outlined accomplish- ments ir obtaining school facilities— a.portable schoo] in 1924, the Whit- tier School in 1926, Paul Junior High in 1930 and the new :Calvin Coolidge High, to be ready next Sep- tember. Daniel B. Lloyd, president of the citizens’ association, was toastmas- ter and introduced the Rev. George E. Schnabel of the Albright Evan- gelical Church, who gave the invo- cation. Play Presented. Entertainment included commu- nity singing,” a “chalk talk,” by Capt. Richard (Dick) Mansfield, of No. 9 police precinct station, and a |play, “Manor Park’s a-Poppin’,” written by Mrs. J. O. Woodall.

Hospital Patient, 75, | Dies; Held Suicide ~.George. W. Smith, 75,-of 711 I -street- S.E, died in Gallinger Hos- - pital yesterday from knife wounds In the throat-inflicted .at Sibley Hos- pital early Saturday. A certificate of suicide was issued by the caroner’s office, according to an official at the Morgue. Mr. Smith originally was under treatment at Gallinger and was re- moved to Sibley Friday. Attend- ants there reported -he cut his throat, in some way which, was not disclosed, and he was taken back As the result of the examination through which prospective jurors were put by opposing counsel—Wal- ter R. Hutchinson, special assistant to the Attorney General, and Joseph A. Padway for the American Feder- ation of Labor—more than an hour was required to select the all-male jury. Expressing the opinion that the trial might be protracted, Jus- tice F. Dickinson Letts directed that two alternate jurors be selected to fill in in case any of the regular jurors became incapacitated, there- by averting the possibility of a mise trial from this source, Warned on Radio Comment. Justice Letts warned the Jjurors against discussing the case, against reading about it in the newspapers and, unusually, listening to anything about it that might come over the radio. “I ask you to turn the dial and avoid hearing what is said,” if the trial is broadcast, Justice Letts tokd the jurors, On trial are Thomas O'Brien of Philadelphia, a representative of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America, and these four officers of local 639 of Wash- ington: Stuart M. Keyser, record- ing secretary and business repre- sentative; Charles J. Bell, president and business representative; Lin- wood A. Trainham, secretary-treas- urer and business representative, and Aubrey W. Stream, business representative. The indictment also names the local itself. According to the indictment, the union used coercive measures to get its own men on concrete-mixer trucks, which were operated members of Local 77 of ‘the' operat- ing engineers. The dispute between the two unions has since heen ad- ““Violence Charged. The indictment alleges that strikes, boycotts and the threats and use of force and violence were em- ployed to get three concrete com- panies to break their contract with the operating engineers and hire teamster members and to force op- erating engineer members to join the teamsters. The strikes were de- signed to halt the delivery of con- crete to building and private projects here over a period of about five months. The jurors were closely questioned for possible bias, and the Govern- ment excused the lone member of the original panel, who admitted belonging to a labor union. That was the sole challenge exercised by the Government but the labor group used six. Mr. Padway's questions were di- rected particularly to getting the views of the jurors on “jurisdictional strikes.” He said the Government would contend the trouble here was & jurisdictional strike, but that the defense would be that it was not. The court dismissed two panel members who expressed the possi- bility that they might be prejudiced. Members of Jury. Members of the jury are: Noel T. Compton, 49-year-old barber of 3021 Eleventh street N.W.; Donald J. Cronan, 41, reviewer, Veterans’ Administration, 1324 Fort Stevens drive N.W.; William K.
