Although most attention has been focused on the attacks in Northern Europe, particularly against submarine bases and the German arms industry, the allied air arm has been dealing heavy blows against Italy and Italian outposts in Sicily.

FT. HARRISON SHOW MAY TOUR CIRCUIT]
“Khaki-Kapers,” the Ft. Harrison musical comedy revue which preceded the air force's “All Clear” at English’s, may tour the vaudeville circuit after a four-day engagement at Keith's theater starting April 30. The army show, worked up by the post public relations office, will be cut down to one hour length for the vaudeville trade. If it tours, it will probably hit the major presentation houses in the Midwest, including the Oriental in Chicago

The two prisoners recaptured were Fred Hunter, 43, of Cleveland, O., friend of Alvin (Old Creepy) Karpis, and Harold M. Brest, Pennsylvania kidnaper -and bank robber. Hunter, the last man to be accounted for, was found late yesterday, hiding in a cave in the rocky side of -the small prison island. He injured his back and chest and cut his hands getting down the side of the rock. Brest was wounded by guards who fired as he struggled almost naked in the rip tides. Before he
| was retaken, he had been supporting. “She wounded Boarman in the water.
He said he had to abandon Boarman “because he “was done for.” : Warden Johnston described the attempted break as the “most sensational” in the history of Alcatraz, which was once a military prison. Hunter apparently gave up trying to swim and returned to the base of the island, where he. found a cave. He yn himself with debris to avoid discovery. . Guard Fires a Shot “Guards took: a boat to the entrance of the cave, where they found bleodstains on the entrance —as if someone had been leaning on the rocks for support,” Johnston said. “One of the guards called for Hunter to come out. He refused.
| Then the guard fired a pistol shot ay and Hunter came out.”
Johnston said “We will probably never find the bodies of the other two. Sometimes bodies come up in the bay after nine days, sometimes after 30 days—but usually they don’t come up at all” As for punishment, the warden said none is planned at the present. Brest was serving life and 50 years, so there could be no further penalty. Johnston ‘said Hunter probably would lose his prison credits. He was serving 25 years. The four desperadoes overpowered two guards and leaped from a prison shop window. They apparently had prepared for the

Smear Grease on Bodies
They . wore only underclothing when they jumped into the water. To protect their bodies from the
chill water, they smeared them‘selves’ with heavy grease.
Johnston said Captain of the
Guards Henry Weinho observed, while inspecting the Se shop, that a guard was not at his assigned place. Hamilton and Hunter were at their jobs, but Boarman was not where he should have been. Brest was not in sight. “Capt. Weinhold walked over, and as he stepped in the doorway, Brest and Boarman seized him, with Hamilton and Hunter jumping on him from behind. There was quite a fight, with Hunter and Boarman using shivs (prison term for hand-made knives). “As they struggled, Capt. Weinhold saw that Guard Smith was bound and gagged on ‘the floor of the’ shop. The convicts bound Capt. Weinhold’s wrists and ankles and stuffed a handkerchief in his mouth.” After the men had leaped from the window to the ground, the guard managed to get a whistle from his pocket and put it in Weinhold’s -mouth.
Scale 30-Foot Cliff
When the alarm was sounded, guards fired at the fleeing convicts, who climbed: a fence at ‘the ‘low northwest tip of the island and jumped or scaled the 30-foot cliff to the water. As far as is known, nobody has reached freedom from the rock. In 1937, Theodore Cole and Ralph Poe, Oklahoma convicts, ‘jumped into the bay and were riever seen again. Authorities believed they drowned.
Boarman Began
Crime Career at 16
When James A. Boarman died in an attempt to escape from Aicatraz penitentiary yesterday, a crime career begun here at the age of 16, came to a drab finish. Boarman first ran afoul of the law here in 1935 when he was accused of violating a city ordinance, but was discharged. The next year he was convicted here of vehicle taking and unlawful possession and was sentenced to 180 days and fined $25 and costs, ‘but. won a six months’ probation. Late that year he was convicted of auto stealing in Colorado and was sent to the El Reno, Okla. reformatory for three years.
Paroled in 1937
He was paroled and in 1937 was arrested for auto stealing in Pennsylvania, but there is no record of the disposal of the case. :
the 900 block of Prospect st. he single-handedly held up the Fletcher Trust Co. branch at 2606 E. Washington st. He fled to his car about a half block away and drove to Owensboro, Ky. A stranger there, his purchase of a car and ‘other splurging aroused -suspicion and he was arrested and later found guilty of the holdup in federal court here and sentenced to Leavenworth for 10 years. He was transferred to “the rock” July 10, 1941,

Shipping Big Factor After Marshal Rommel’s = expulsion from Tunisia, the allies will be prepared to follow through with the! invasion of Europe proper. Where, naturally, is a military secret, but there is growing speculation in London that Southern Europe will respond first to the marching tramp of allied invaders. Although it is assumed that preparations for invading the soft underside have been going forward side by side with those for defeating Rommel, it is likely that there | En, will be considerable regrouping and reoutfitting for the British 1st and 8th armies and the American forces béfore they start across the Mediterranean. Hh While no information probably will be given out, it might be supposed that second front operations in: northern Europe will not get under way until the southern European expeditionary force has won a strong foothold.
U. S. Reserves Available
The allied ability to launch simultaneous invasions of north and south Europe obviously is limited by. shipping capacity, which in turn is affected strongly by the progress of the battle of the Atlantic. It is not known whether the ferocity of the U-boat attacks has affected the time schedule established by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill at Casablanca, but it usually can be assumed that vast military op-
