Police Question
30 in Killing of
Teen-Age Girl
Head Blow Fatal
To Tenth Grader
In Silver Spring
Thirty persons, including
schoolmates, were questioned to
day as police pushed a search
for the slayer of a 15-year-old
Silver Spring girl whose sledding
adventure ended in tragedy.
Killed by a “terrific" blow to
the head, the body of Georgette
Anne Hentgen was found about
three blocks from 9131 Eton road
where she lived with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John R. Hentgen.
While they searched in thy
snow for tracks and other clues,
Montgomery County police
ba-red anyone who might
trample the area.
Question Victim’s Friends
A reinforced squad of detec
tives began questioning the girl’s
friends at Montgomery Blair
Hieh School where she was a
10*h grider.
“We have no leads, but many
theories,” said Detective Chief
Capt. G. W. Linthicum. “We will
question e\ ery stuuent in school
If we have to ”
As a dozen or more detectives
questioned persons at the school
and in their homes. Police Supt.
James F. McAulifie appealed to
residents to come forward with
any information about suspicious
persons seen in the area.
Attempting to pin down the
time the girl was last seen alive,
police found a 12-year-old boy
who said he saw Georgette about
1 .p.m, at the hill where they
were sledding near Highland View
Elementary School. A girl said
she saw Georgette about 2 p.m.,
but police doubted whether it was
that late.
Emphasis at fLst was placed
on a 17-year-old youth described
as a “tough.” One of Georgette's
friends said she had seen him
and another boy with Georgette
while they were sledding yester
day afternoon. Capt. Linthicum
said the youth had been checked!
out and at least temporarily
cleared.
Body Found in Woods
The body of the slight, 4-foot- 1
11. 90-pound brown-haired girl i
was found at 5:30 p.m. yesterday,'
about 300 feet from the point 1
where Manchester road ends with <
a barrier of pilings.
This point is about 1,000 feet i
from the Highland View play- '
grounds at Oldham road and i
Lamar terrace where Georgette
had gone at 11:30 a.m. for sled
ding.
Her body was about 100 feet
oir a dirt roadway continuation
of Manchester road. Now blocked
off by the pilings, it formerly
was known as a lovers lane.
Struck Above Ear
Dr. Frank J. Broschart, Mont
gomery medical examiner, said!
an autopsy revealed the girl was :
slain by a terrific blow of a blunt 1
instrument above and slightly '
behind the right ear.
Detective Lt. William Whalen
said there was no evidence the
body had been dragged to its
resting place, and since that"
particular area was too wooded
for sledding, it was unques
tionably a case of murder and
not accident.
The body was partly covered
by snow, as in a hasty effort
to conceal it. Her upper cloth- 1
ing was pulled up and the dun- (
garees down a bit, exposing about
a foot of her bare body. How
ever, Dr. Broschart said she had
not been sexually assaulted.
Time of death was fixed at
about noon.
But bruises on the throat and
inflammation of the lungs
showed she had been choked be-

the proposals “do not indicate

“In such a situation we could
find ourselves in the position of

jsaid that a demilitarized zone
between western and Communist
forces would lessen tensions in
Europe. The Senator said he
regarded this as an indication
of the trend of thinking among
. West Germans.
1 In Its five-point program, the
'administration proposed, among
other things, that the armed
j forces of the Edited States and
Russia be limited to 2.5 million
men each and those of Bntain
ard France to 750.000 each, sub
ject to a workable Inspection
system.
Senator Humphrey said he
found nothing In this proposal
pointing toward any troop with
drawal from Germany.
As one of the major points
in its disa.mament plan the
administration proposed a limi
tation, and later a ban. on
nuclear test explosions if agree
ment could be reached that all
fissionable materials to be pro
duced in the future be used or
stockpiled under international
supervision for non-weapons
purposes.
Pending such an agreement
tl.e United States said it would
be willing to negotiate a system
for advance notice and limited
international observation oi
such tests.
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, vice chairman oi
the Senate-House Atomic En
ergy Committee, said in a sep
arate interview that in his
opinion “it is desirable to limit
nuclear test explosions and later
abandon them.”
Sees Step Toward Limitation
But he said he doesn’t see how
there could be any effective
agreement for future production
of fissionable materials to be
stockpiled exclusively for non
weapons purposes.
“It's like saying that all air
planes shall be built for peace
ful use when it wouldn’t take
long to arm them for use in
war,” he said.
“I think the gradual elimina
tion of nuclear explosion tests
can be attained without any
agreement on stockpiling. If we
examine our own weapons pro
gram we find that we have al
ready moved further in that
direction than is generally real
ized.”
Senator Anderson supported
the 1956 campaign proposal of
Adlai E Sievenson, the Demo
cratic presidential nominee, that
the United States take the ini
tiative in moves to halt H-bomb
tests.

The Soviet assistant military

nounced today.
Maj. Yuri p. Krylov also had
tried to buy classified military
information, the State Depart

Soviet Charge d’Affaires Sergi
Striganov was summoned to the
State Department late yesterday
to receive the note informing the
Soviet government of its action.
Jacob Beam, deputy assistant
secretary for Euiopean affairs,
told Mr. Striganov that Maj.
Krylov should leave the country
“immediately.”
Tire State Department dis
closed that Maj. Krylov had
purchased the electronic ma
terials through unidentified
American intermediaries "on
various occasions ”

State Department Press Officer
Lincoln White refused to discuss
the involvement of the Ameri
cans or what United States
agency might be taking action
! against them.

He said the electronics equip
ment which Maj. Krylov had
purchased was not licensed for
export. He could not say if any
iof the material had been re
covered by United States au
thorities.
The text of the department’s
note to Mr. Striganov follows:
“The Department of State in

and his wife live at 1743 Hobart
street N.W.
The last Soviet citizen to be
expelled from the United States

In his plane Columbine ITI at
7:58 a.m., MST, for Pjeblo,
Colo., on the final day of his
drought inspection tour of the
West.
Before taking off he heard
that cattle, one of the bases of
the States economy, were the
poorest since the Crop and Live
stock Reporting Services began
making estimates in 1922.
Dr. Harold Myers, dean of the
College of Agriculture at the
University of Arizona, said some
ranchers already have spent al
most as much on feed as the
value of their cattle.
The President may disc.ose
today what the Federal Gov
ernment proposes to do about
easing the worsening plight of
farmers and ranchers.
To Meet With Officials
Aides said the President might
talk about some of his plans at

with representatives of all States
confronted with drought damage
problems.
In advance of that session Mi
Eisenhower's program calls for
on-the-spot study of the situa

Shivers Names Blakley,
Dallas Attorney, to Senate
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan 15 UP).—
Gov. Allan Shivers today ap
pointed William A. Blakley of
Dallas. 58, an attorney, as United
States Senator from Texas.
Gov. Shivers made the an
nouncement on his last day as
; Governor. It came as retiring
Senator Price Daniel prepared
'io take the oath of office as
governor at noon.
The Governor's announcement
said Mr. Blakley is a supporter
liof President Eisenhower. Sen
ator Daniel ana of Senator Lyn
don B. Johnson, Democrat of
Texas, but that he has not
been politically active.
Mr. Blakley refused to talk
to repoiters in Dallas immedi
ately. and there was no indica
tion as to whether he would vote
with the Democrats or Republi
cans if any attempt should be
made to reorganize the Senate.
In Washington Senator John
son, who is Democratic leader in
the Senate, said the appointment 1
means continued Democratic ,
control of the Senate. i
Will Vote Democratic
He told reporters that “of j
course” Mr. Blakley will “vote (
with the Democrats." That would :
leave Democrats in control, 49- ,
Senator Johnson described Mr. .
Blakley as “ar. extremely able. ,
public spirited Texan” who has .
been his close friend for years. (
Under Texas law. Gov. Daniel
must call a special election with- ,
in 60 to 90 days to fill out the ,
rest of his Senate term Mr. j
Blakley will not be a candidate |
in that contest, Gov. Shivers
said.
Mr Blakh.v is a multimillion
aire businessman, as well as a !
successful attorney, with big in- !
terests in oil fields, ranching and
real estate.
At the moment he is building
a mammoth $125 million busi- j
ness center in Dallas known as 1
“Exchange Park." This project ■
will provide 875.000 square feet
of office space, a 1.000-room ho- 1
tel .a bank, medical center and 1
150 retail shops. '
A native of Oklahoma, he is 1
almost unknown to the rank-and- ;
file Texan. This Is due, perhaps, I
to the fact that he has always i
shunned publicity. Even In his
Exchange Park development, the :
name of Blakley will appear no •
where. i

he selected a Blakley partner,
James Blundell of Dallas, for
chairman of the Texas State
Democratic Executive Commit
tee, the party’s top office. But
Mr. Blundell stepped aside be
cause the Blakley interests did
not want to become too inti
mately associated with politics.
For this reason Mr. Blakley’s
willingness to accept the sena
torial appointment proves per
plexing to many Texas politi
cians.
About the fiist time he fig
ured in Texas n n ws was three

He was personal attorney for

In his inaugural speech the
new Governor hit at the Uni*ed

that the Tenth Amendment to
the Federal Constitution guar
anteeing State's rights has "suf
fered Horn disuse and disregard"
at its hands.
Mr. Daniel, a Democrat who
supported President Eisenhower
in 1952 tut r.ot in 1956, said his
administration would “empha
size and fight for" the Tenth
Amendment.

Would Cut
Middle East
Risk, He Says
By J, A. O’LEARY
American boys are more likely
to have to fight in the Middle
East if the Eisenhowe" resolu
tion lails than if it passes, Sec
retary of State Dulles said today.
Facing the second day of cross
examination by the Senate Com
mittees on Foreign Relations and
Armed Services, thf Secretary
iwas asked by Senator Langer,
Republican of North Dakota
about the probability of Ameri
cans having to fight in that area.
“If the resolution passes there
is very little likelihood.” Mr.
Dulles replied. “If it does not
pass, the chances are quite con
siderable of it leading to war.”
“Would you say the chances
are 50-50?” Senator Langer con
tinued.
“The chances of fighting are
much less than 50 per cent if
it passes,” the Secretary re
sponded.
Query on Lone Action
Senator Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee, wanted to know why
the United States is laying down
this policy unilaterally instead
of acting with its- European
allies.
Mr. Dulles said if Western
Europe were a part of this plan,
under which the United States
proposes to give military and
economic aid to Middle East
countries, "it would be doomed
from the start and they would
be the first to recognize that.
Recent events have made it so.”
"If we get into a war who
will be obligated to go along
with us" asked Senator Ke
fauver.
"There is no treaty obligation
we have with anyone covering
the Middle East," Mr. Dulles
answered. “Os course, if we
,get into a general war with the
Soviet Union we hope to have
<the assistance of the 42 nations
with whom we have agreements.”
“Would Congress be called on •
to declare war if there were
substantial Hostilities?” asked
Senator Kefauver.
Mr. Dulles replied that the
United States has not been in
ja declared war for a long time.
He recalled that in both World
Wars Congress merely passed
resolutions recognizing that a
state of war existed.
Objects to Suggestion
Another indication that Con
gress will take its time in de
bating the Middle East issue
came from Senator Morse. Dem
ocrat of Oregon, when he ob
jected to a suggestion by Chair
man Green of the Foreign Re
lations Committee that Senators
practice some self-denial in ask
ing questions.
"I’m so frightened by this I'm
almost speechless." said Senator
Morse, as he served notice he was
going to ask all the questions he
deems necessary no matter how
long it takes.
Senator Langer departed from
the main issue to ask Mr. Dulles
if his former law firm repre
sents any oil companies.
The Secretary said he thinks
it may, but he emphasized that
he retired from the firm in 1949.

Democrat of Montana, if there
