Men # Parade Through Wind, Cold Accompanied by the unearthly blat of horns, the ugliest men on campus marched through blustery winds and raw, early-April weather last night, leering and grimacing at the on-lookers. A crowd of shivering enuthusiastic students turned out to watch the Ugly Man parade, which might well have in spired a Boris Karloff horror film.

Two of the convicts were cap tured immediately, but the third, who escaped through a window, was caught an hour later. The three were William C. Richter, 35, of Philadelphia, con victed burglar and parole violator; Earl F. Fehr, 25, Philadelphia, rapist; and John J. Welty, 27, of Easton, burglar. The convicts had escaped while they were supposed to be attend ing a movie in the prison dining hall. They made their exit through an unbarred corridor window and climbed the north gate. Prior to their capture, they had eluded police in a chase through Easton.

Attache Expelled By Hungarians BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 9 W —The Hungarian government gave an expulsion notice with a 48-hour time limit today to Capt. Thomas R. Gleason, U. S. assistant military attache, as the result of a picture-taking incident. The U. S. legation denied the Communist government’s charge that Capt. Gleason had been guil ty of “open espionage.” A legation spokesman said the charges were “largely inaccurate” and did not constitute espionage under inter national usage. Retaliation Hinted In Washington, the possibility was raised that the American gov ernment would retaliate by order ing the ouster of a Hungarian dip lomat. Capt Gleason, 32, of Urbana, HI., and Col. James C. Todd, of Tulsa, Okla., the military attache, figured in an incident on a coun try road 55 miles southwest of Budapest last Wednesday when their car was surrounded by Hun garian secret police and Soviet of ficers. Film Released They were questioned for more than five hours through a partly lowered window of their locked station wagon on accusations that they had taken pictures of a near by barracks occupied by the Rus sians. Gleason finally gave up a roll of color film which he said showed only family groups and landscapes. Then they were re leased.
