Condemned Men
Flee Death House
WASHINGTON, April 3-(P)-A
sociable card game between two con-
demned killers and two policemen in
the Capital's death house led early
today to the'slayers' sensational es-
cape-with the aid of a can opener.
Joseph D. Medley, convicted of the
murder of one red-haired woman and

Youth Hostel
To Hold Folk
Dance Session
Instruction in European Folk danc-
ing by Miss Lola de Grille, folk arts
specialist from the International In-
stitute in Detroit, and a movie on
hosteling in Europe will highlight
the meeting of the folk dance session
of the American Youth Hostel which
will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in Lane
Hall.
As the AYH will sponsor several
trips to Europe this summer to aid
in reconstruction work, the first trips
since the war, the movie will be of
particular interest to members. It
will show scenes from several prewar
hosteling trips, both by foot and bi-
cycle, which got their start in Europe
in 1932.
Members going on the European
trip will sail from New York the lat-
ter part of June and will return early
in September. This group will carry
dehydrated food, sleeping bags and
other equipment in order to meet
their own living needs.
Every hosteler is expected to take
his own bicycle as he will cover as
much as possible of the trip from
country to country in this manner.
The group will spend approximately
two weeks each in Holland, Luxem-
bourg and the French Alps doing re-
building.
These trips are open to all inter-
ested persons. They are asked to call
Janina Niedbala who is in charge of
the program.

An official statement issued by Dis-
trict of Columbia jail officials said
Medley, 44, and McFarland, 24, were
playing cards with two policemen-
guards, Hubert C. Davis and Oscar
C. Sanderlin.
Complained of Illness
Sanderlin "complained of illness'
and went into Medley's cell to lie on
the bunk, the statement related.
"One of the inmates closed the
cell door on officer Sanderlin and
then both inmates overpowered Offi-
cer Davis. After this they locked
Officer Davis in McFarland's cell.
The inmates took the clothing and
all keys of the officers."
Donning the uniforms, the slayers
reached the roof by prying a ven-
tilator open with a can opener. They
then let themselves down 60 feet to
the ground with a rope made of bed-
sheets.1
FBI Search
The escape took place at 5 a.m.
After a morning of intensive search,
in which the FBI tok part, police
seized Medley in a sewer near the
Anacostia River. He was still wearing
remnants of the policeman's uni-
form, bedraggled and grimy.
The two guards were suspended.

Michigan Penitentiary when, accord-
ing to a jury's findings, he shot and

DOGS OR COYOTES?
Puppies Interrupt Scientists'
Work at University Museum

Dr. Heymans
Reports Blood
Pressure Test

Three very young and extremely
lively puppies have interrupted the
work of busy research scientists in
the University Museums Building.
The pups, two jemales and one
male, were presented to Ottawa
conservation officers by a farmer who
claimed they were coyotes and asked
a bounty on them. Although he said
he had dug them out of a den, there
was some doubt of his story because,
according to Prof. William H. Burt,
Curator of Mammals in the Museum
of Zoology, the animals resemb'e dogs
more closely than coyotes.
Brought in last month, the puppies,
now eight weeks old, are tame and
friendly. Dr. Burt said, "We will
have to wait perhaps six months be-
fore we can determine whether or

not they are coyote-dog crosses. By
that time their fur will change. Now,
white markings on their light brown
coats and ears, which do not stand
up, indicate that they are probably
dogs. An adult female brought in at
the same time and thought to be
the mother, appeared to be a cross
of coyote and wild dog."
Dr. Burt added that war workers
at Willow Run often brought pets
from home and left them here when
they returned. These pets became
feral, or wild, dogs which have been
found in woods and fields. He saidl
they are not as fierce as coyotes but
are far worse threats as sheep kill-
ers.
In the meantime, the puppies are
under observation

Regulation
By Belgian

Described
Scientist

ASSIFIED ADVEXTISING

Twenty years of experimentation
have revealed that blood pressure is
regulated by the reflex action of
strategically located nerve endings
which act upon the central nervous
system, according to a statement
made here yesterday by Dr. Corneille
Heymans, of the University of Ghent,
Belgium.
Dr. Heymans spoke on "The Regu-
lation of Blood Pressure: Theoretical
and Practical Aspects."
"It is of value in clinical mediciine
to know how blood pressure normally
is regulated," he said, "so that when
a patient suffers from improper
blood pressure a treatment can be
brought about."
Dr. Heymans also said that it has
been found that the chemical con-
stitution of the blood may act upon
certain nerve endings sensitive to
chemical action to regulate blood
pressure. It was formerly believed that
the regulation of blood pressure oc-
curred by means of direct influence
of the blood pressure on the central
nervous system, he said.
Avukah Given Permission

tion, received permissionsfrom the
