THE BOSTON DAILY GLOBE WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1953 on Returned P.O.W.'s Pentagon Clams Up WASHINGTON, May 5 (AP)-The Pentagon, laced with bar-rag of criticism over its program to rid American prisoners of war of anyTTommunist taint, rang down a curtain of secrecy tonight on inquiries about who started the idea In the first place.

Immediately afterward, the President's four top Cabinet a8-visers on foreign military-economic policy appeared before a joint meeting of the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees to open the Administration's bid for the new funds, a 24 percent cut from the figure advanced by the Truman Administration. There were almost immediate indications that economy-minded Congressmen will seek to slash the figure. Secretary of State Dulles, Secretary of Defense Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey and Mutual Security Director Stassen told the two committees that the program represents the minimum amount needed for the safety, of the non-Communist world. Pointing out that the President's request i' $1,772,000,000 less than the amount asked by the late Truman Administration, Dulles said it would be "imprudent and dangerous" to cut the new Administration's request.

He added: "Indeed, it may well prove to be the case that we have not asked for enough." Humphrey announced that actual foreign aid expenditures next year will be greater than this year, with the bulk of the funds to come out of the total "overhang" of obligations and authorizations for all programs inherited by the Eisenhower Administration. D1NNEEN Continued from the First Page Here Is what Willie Sutton had to say; "Most, men who escape from prison are eventually caught. In contemplating my final escape I felt that this was due to the fact that their planning only took them over the wall. They never bothered to make plans to stay free. I knew hiding was difficult when every cop knew yo.ur face, when banks and insurance companies were posting rewards to tempt the private citizen to turn you in.

When I got out, I determined to lose myself in New York City. I knew Brooklyn best of all, but where in Brooklyn would I hide? "I decided to hole up in some section peopled by the foreign bom. Foreign born usually read only their own language newspapers. They Ignore the big New York dailies. This was especially true, I knew, of the Puerto Ricans, who read the Spanish-language newspapers which did not feature crime news." That was as far as Willie's planning carried him.

It worked for a while, but the plan was not enough. It was in Brooklyn that Willie was recognized by Arnold Shuster, who was shot dead after pointing him out and bringing about his arrest. Willie emphasized that the first and most difficult problem, planning and engineering an escape, is so all-engrossing that an inmate has no time to plan what to do when he dos get over the wall and circulates among people. "When you are facing 30 years," Willie observes, "hope dies hard. Men who are serving long sentences are constantly planning to break out, no matter what the odds against them.

Had I been given a ten-year term, I probably would have accepted it philo sophically enough and served out the term. When you are facing 30 years (Green was sentenced to 25), you are facing a living death and you are desperate for any alternative, no matter how hope-j less." I Sutton and a convict named Johnny Eagan worked- for long months in faing Sing executing a long range plan for escape. They patiently sawed bars over a period of months, filling the cracks in the bars with soap and staining it with soft lead. Sutton fashioned an ef figy of himself with a good resemblance of his own face- to fool guards who would believe the dummy to be sleeping Willie Sutton. They surveyed the prison slowly over a period of years; knew where to get a ladder to go over the wall.

They worked out the escape in fine detail, got over the wall and arvaj in a vai yiufiucu uj a uai, and once on the outside both faced tuuuicm wutric iiiuc where to lose themselves. Eagan could not solve it and was back j'y-' "Where escapee hide?" Willie asked. 'His'escape is front page news. Wherever he turns his picture is looking up at him. What can he do? He might as well be back in jail as forever in hiding.

Yesterday, Warden O'Brien went into Charlestown Districf Court and obtained a warrant for Green's arrest. A few hours later, UniteJ States Commissioner Peter J. Nel-ligan issued a similar warrant in Federal Court, at the request of the FBI.

Last night the FBI and police were hunting through Everett, Revere and Chelsea for some trace of the fugitive bank robber, and also for witnesses who may have seen him get off the truck during its trip from the prison to Chelsea. But, dressed as he was in 'civilian clothing by that time. Green would have attracted little attention as he jumped off the truck. Arty witness would have thought him to be the driver's helper, or concluded he had "hitched" a ride on the vehicle. The route the truck took is heavily traveled, however, and in vestigators hoped to nna someone who could remember such an in cident and at least pinpoint the actual spot where Green set out on his own.

Green had two and one-half hours leeway before he was missed, even though an official of the firm where the escape carton was unloaded called the prison as soon as the smashed carton was round, It was two' hours after this that the escape was officially reported.

Miss Guarnaccia letter of resig nation was received and read last week, but because the law requires action on resignations to be taken at public meetings, it was not then accepted.

After her suspension for "con duct unbecoming a teacher" in us ing the Fifth Amendment before the subcommittee, the 53-year-old teacher was given until May 19 to apply for a hearing. Her letter came as a surprise to the School Committee. Only one member present voted against acceptance of the resigna tion, John J. Brennan, who said, If she is guilty, she shouldn't be rewarded by a pension." Miss Guarnaccia is eligible for retirement pension by virtue of years tenure in the school system. A Her letter said, in part, "I am conscious that the publicity of recent weeks has rendered impossible my continued service as a teacher.

ARREST Continued jrom the First Page Murgo G. Margeson, 34, of Curtis Somerville and Charles L. O'Brien, 42, of Linden Dorchester, both recently out of Norfolk Prison Colony, were also questioned at length by Massachusetts State Police detective William Delay probing the murder of Herman I. Classman in Brookline on March 30. Delay said preliminary questioning indicated they were not involved in the slaying but added that there are "still loose ends that need checking." Firearms Found Police said they were riding in a speeding machine being driven by Catherine Fitzpatrick Silva, 21, of Horadan Way, Roxbury, Mass.

Police said she had no police record. Delay hurried here to query the men when it was learned that two false rubber a number of blue and white polka dot handkerchiefs and clothing had been found in the car which carried two armed riders, one of them toting a .38 caliber firearm. Two of three armed gunmen who invaded the Bellingham road home where Glassman was a guest during a Sedar observance were wearing masks made from blue and white polka dot bandanas. All three car ried .38 caliber guns. Police saw that OBnen, who got out ot worioiK last July, had a loaded .38 caliber special pistol in his right topcoat pocket.

Margeson was paroled last December, police said The other firearm, police said, was found in the woman's handbag. Police said it was a loaded 3,2 caliber Harrington and Richardson pistol. Detectives said she explained she was carrying the pistol because guns are her hobby. They said she expressed surprise that one of her companions was carrying a gun. The car was stolen Monday in Boston near the woman's home, police said.

Registration plates which belonged on the car were found in the vehicle. The auto' carried license plates stolen in Paw-tucket, April 30. Late tonight, Chief Inspector Walter E. Stone said the trio were charged with illegal possession of firearms. Stone said he will ask court permission tomorrow to hold them for an additional 24 hours before arraignment.

A Providence ballistics expert fired 10 shots from both pistols for study. Samples of the slugs will be sent to Brookline for comparison! with bullets used In the Glassman shooting.

It makes him He blunders. He gets caught. He goes back to penitentiary for a much longer sentence and immediately begins planning a way to escape.

Three times Willie got out and was free. Each time he was caught. No doubt he is planning another escape. New iork detectives admit that they never will feel certain of Willie as long as he is alive in jail. He was feeling very low and hopeless when he let down his hair and told how he felt about escapes.

If his woro. mean anything, though, Green must know by now that Willie was right. No matter nuw vne wpe, curnp.ele freedom remains elusive. Green got out in a box. It was a clever- MAXINE TAYLOR ESCAPEE Continued from the Firpt Page Miss Silva was in Taunton appearing in court in a child custody case.

She had not returned to her apartment here late last night. Police said she was a girl friend of Francis Smith, 36, of the West End, one of the bank robbery defendants. At the trial, she told of the defendants appearing at her apartment after the holdup, each of them "rolling in dough." Police were keeping a vigil at the girls apartment. They were anxious to locate the two, both to protect them from possible violence at Green's hands and to learn what they could of the escapee's whereabouts. Maxine Taylor, former girl friend of Harvey "Mad Dog" Bistany, whose tip led to the roundup of Green and other members of the gang, was another whose life was considered in danger.

Guard Identified Information that a State Prison guard was a close friend of Green's came Irom Warden John J. O'Brien. He said he does not know the guard's idenfity, but is investigating. It was thought possible that this guard served as Green "contact inmrte tnp nnenn urhoro ha wac in a position to arrange the inter- cnange of messages to outside SOUrces who could help plan the escape This' guard. O'Brien said, was on such good terms with Green that he visited him at the latter's Bick ford Jamaica Plain, home after ureen was paroled from State rrison in June ot 1950.

The guard brought him, as a "favor" Green had done for the guard previously. Door Found Unlocked O'Brien also disclosed that a fire door between the waste storeroom and the ramp leading to the prison underwear shop, where Green was working, was found unlocked and open less than an hour before Green got away. He said Edward Duffy, the store keeper who has supervision of the baling of rags at the shop, was absent from the shop, between 1 and 1:35, talking with Merton P. Young, supervisor of industries at the prison He was called to Young's office, which is directly over O'Brien's and; some distance from the underwear shop. When Duffy returned to the shop, Brien said, he round the fire door open.

This door should have been locked, according to prison regu lations, while Duffy was away from his post. Bnen said Duffy tailed to report tl)e unlocked door im mediately, Guard Inspect 1 At the same time, the warden than the guard, who Know Green, was under suspecion in connection with Green's escape. He said the truck in which Green ultimately got away was waiting outside the prison for admittance between 1:20 and 1:45 p. had to wait for a guard to take it inside, and the available guards were busy with other trucks. One of these trucks was a state institutions department vehicle which was picking up supplies from the same platform where the rags were loaded, and where the case in which Green secreted himself was deposited for loading.

The truck that took Green away came to the loading platform at 2:08 and checked out with its load at 2:20. O'Brien said. He discounted the report of one guard that he saw Green at work at 3 p. m. when he checked the prisoners.

O'Brien said this guard did not have his watch on Monday and was just guessing at the time he saw Green. Says Convicts Not Involved The warden said he talked with three prison employees the store- Keeper, the guard who reported seeing Green at 3, and the guard who rode out to the prison te with the escape truck. Wone is suspect, he said. He also said he did not believe the two convicts who help the storekeeper bale rags in the shop are involved in any way. O'Brien said he understood the prison clothing discarded by Green during his break was found yesterday morning by the FBI in the escape carton in a Chelsea iunk yard.

The FBI refused to confirm or deny this. He also disclosed that a pair of scissors was missing from the prison underwear shop. They apparently were used by Green to punch air holes in the carton, and then to rip his way free. The warden asked all institution employees to check their lockers and see if any of their clothing was missing, in the belief Green mav have obtained his change of clothes in mis way. Green obviously had the civilian clothing on underneath his prison uniform when he got into the packing case.

The case is too small to allow the movement necessary to put on trousers and a shirt-Green has had visitors at the prison. The last was his lawyer, who came in on Friday. Previously his wife had come to see him. This led investigators to discount reports i a 33 of ly executed escape. He is at largeisaid no employee of the prison other A V.

Legislators Ban Own Proceedings Over Radio, TV Both camera and mike shy. the two branches of the Massachusetts Legislature last night rejected bills to permit televising or broadcasting of legislative proceedings.

In the House, there was no debate. The adverse committee re port was accepted on a voice vote. In the upper branch, the urge of some members to perform before the cameras or microphones led to a lengthy debate before a motion to substitute the bill for an adverse committee report was defeated on a rising vote, 14-9. The banner for the bill was car ried by Senators Daniel Rudsten. of Dorchester; Edmund Dinis, of New Bedford and Silvio O.

Conte, of Pittsfield. Leading the opposition was Senator Charles W. Olson, of Ashland, who commented, "we have enough orators here already. If we have TV. we should also have an orchestra and refreshments." "No Right to Exclude" In moving for substitution of the adverse report of the Rules Committee, Senator Rudsten said that television of Senate proceedings would be an "extension of democracy." He added that "if we want to see the town meeting brought to the forefront in Massachusetts, this bill would do it." The impossibility of all citizens visiting the legislative halls was pointed out by Senator Dinis who remarked that "we have no right to exclude the mediums of radio and TV." The nub of the problem in this bill, said Senate Majority Leader Charles J.

Innes, of the Back Bay, is the "exempting of a broad caster from liability for slander or libel. Conte pointed out that newspapers are immune when quoting privileged debate.
