PHILADELPHIA, June 6.—Rioting by nine long-term convicts at the Eastern State Penitentiary was re ported under control today, al though all still refused to eat and Warden Herbert B, Smith said he felt as if he were "sitting on a powder keg.” "I don't know what might happen i next." the prison head said last night. The disturbance occurred Satur day. but was quickly quelled. Warden Smith said it was caused by the ringleaders in an unsuccessful es cape plot which came to light last St. Valentine's Day, when two care fully-dug tunnels were discovered under the ancient prison. , “They said they wanted better cells, better furniture and better radio service,” the warden declared, "but from what I can see all they really wanted was to make a little trouble.” Held in solitary confinement, the men launched their outburst by rip ping up and setting fire to their mattresses, smashing the furniture in their cells, yelling and pound ing on the cell doors and gratings, | the warden disclosed yesterday. Three of the men started fighting with guards rushed to the scene, he said, adding "we had to subdue them, and we didn't waste any time doing it.” The remaining six, he continued, had swallowed enough smoke to be harmless. Fourteen other men in the block, who did not take part in the riot, were removed also. Warden Smith said that since the nine have been returned to solitary confinement, meals have been brought to them three times each day and have been refused. He as serted no attempt will be made at forcible feeding.

Dr. Brunauer spoke at the annual banquet of the District Vocational Association, held at the Dodge Hotel. Teachers in the District's vocational schools and other citizens interested in these schools were guests. The speaker scorned the view of American isolationists that the United States could remain un affected by European politics, point out that the Colonial wars were the first reaction on this continent to Old World battles. The American Revolution was successful because of European poli tics, she said, and cited several other instances in which this country has been affected. The Monroe Doctrine was written because of the European Holy Alliance, she stated, to prevent the monarchies from reconquering the independent states of South America. Germans, she said, make a religion of National Socialism and are op posed to liberalism anywhere. If they win the war, this country must clash with them sooner or later, she stated, “not because we don’t like them but because they don’t like us.” Therefore, for America’s own in terest, she urged support for the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, of which she is a member. Theodore G. Parkman, president of the association, presided and in troduced the guests of honor, which included Dean Henry Grattan Doyle of George Washington University and Mrs. Doyle, who is president of the Board of Education, and L. G. Cantrell, assistant superintendent of schools. FORDS ENGINE HEADS WELDED WELDIT, INC. 516 1st St. N.W.

June 6.—Sponsor ship by churches of projects such as Pittsburgh’s youth municipality is urged by Criminal Court Judge William B. McNaugher as a step toward curbing “an alarming in crease in crimes of serious type in volving youth." The Pittsburgh jurist told the National Lutheran Inner-mission Conference yesterday that churches could not depend upon weekly Sun day school lessons to maintain their influence over youth and “offset all the worldly and evil influences which ply about our youth the rest of the time.” The convention elected Dr. E. G. | Chinlund, Omaha, Nebr., president; j the Rev. George Hansler, Milwau- : kee, Wis., vice president, and Sister Edith Baden of Erie, Pa., secretary. A new constitution was adopted to change the organization's name to the Lutheran Welfare Conference in America and affiliate it with the Department of Welfare of the Na tional Lutheran Council. General conventions will be held biennially instead of annually, effective in 1941, when the conference meets in Baltimore. m ENJOY LIFE AT THE TNE EMERSON aid COTTAGES IdJUAUBUi Vacation at (hr Manhall Hout?—York Harbor'a faahionable hotel—when die criminating familiea enjoy the bracing eta air, ata bathing, tailing, golf, rennia, and tuna fiahing.
