Councilman Martin urged an

Br United Press.
ARDMORE, Okla., April 11.-
Authorities expected to file a
charge of aiding and abetting es-
cape' of a prisoner today against
George Churchwell, as a result
of the delivery of an alleged as-
sociate of Clyde Barrow from jail
here.
Churchwell, 'an inmate of the
city jail from whence Hubert
Mooney sawed his way Sunday
night, was said to have admitted
supplying the saw blades. Chief
of Police Hale Dunn said Church-
well made a statement about the
matter.
Fort Worth was given prefer-
ence over Dallas because it is lo-
cated on more direct air mail
routes and location of headquar-
ters here will save considerable
mileage, even tho the two cities
are only 35 miles apart, it was
said. The fact that American I
Airways had headquarters here |
also had its effect.
Air mail officials pointed out |
that fast train service between
Fort Worth and Dallas practically
equalizes the extent of air mail
service to both.
Under temporary arrangements,
the route from Amarillo to
Brownsville will touch Fort
Worth but not Dallas, and the
route from Fort Worth to Los
Angeles also eliminates Dallas.
Both cities are included in
routes from Boston to Fort.
Worth and from Chicago to Dal-
las.
