"And even that Is an understatement," the Mayor told reporters at City Hall in an obvious attack upon the four-year reign of Dr. Peter F. Amoroso, who was ousted two weeks ago as Correction Commissioner. The Mayor made his charges after a conference with his newly appointed Correction Commissioner. Albert Williams.

O'Dwyer ordered Williams to make a detailed report and promised to make it public "no matter what's la It." In his interview with reporters the Mayor implied that mishandling of personnel at Raymond St. Jail might have been one of the factors that led to the dramatic break of nine inmates from the antiquated prison last Thursday. Work Assignments Criticized "The trouble with Raymond St. Jail seems to be the assignment of work of Jail employes at that particular time (time of the prison break)," the Mayor declared. At the time of the escape, the Mayor said, there was an insufficient number of guards available to conduct properly the business of the Jail.

Refusing to go into details on the prison break, Mr. O'Dwyer clearly said that Raymond St. Jail ordinarily was not seriously undermanned. "Raymond St. Jail was undermanned at that particular time," Mr.

O'Dwyer pointed In Hunt for 1 Washington, Jan. 4 (U.R) Senator-elect Theodore O. Bilbo bowed tonight to "a determined Republican drive against seating him and Southern Democrats called off a two-day filibuster that had tied the chamber In knots. The Senate unanimously accepted a compromise proposal put forward by Senator Alben W. Barkley Senator Barkley told the Senate the little Mississippi Democrat was suffering from cancer of the mouth and would leave Washington tonight or tomorrow to undergo an operation in New Orleans.

Bilbo said later he would leave Washington tomorrow 4 afternoon. He said he would come back as soon a he could "with my fighting clothes on." With the deadlock ended, the remaining 35 Senators-elect Immediately began marching down the aisle to take their oaths of office. The procession was abruptly halted yesterday when the G. O. P.

challenged Bilbo after only one new Senator had been sworn. The swearing-in ceremonies consumed 17 minutes. The final oath was administered at 5 p.m. The decision to by-pass Bilbo and end the filibuster cleared the way for the Senate to elect Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg president pro tempore, and adopt a concurrent resolution to hear President Truman deliver his annual message on the State of the Union at a Joint session with the House on Monday.

Southern Democrats backing Bilbo had filibustered for more thanten hours. They held the Senate In session from noon until 6:02 p.m., yesterday and consumed more BILL ASKS BAN ON 'OUTSIDE' SCHOOL HEAD Sen. Friedman Seeks Law Limiting $25,000 Post to Local Man By JOSEPH H.

The Brooklyn legislator expedited the work of drafting a bill, amending the Education Law. which would make it mandatory for re tiring Superintendent John E.
