Four Escape
Drowning in
Bay Accident
Three men and a boy, 15, s
narrowly escaped drowning in
Chesapeake Bay today after
their 16-foot runabout capsized '
in rough water. <
Rescued after clinging almost
six hours to their overturned i
craft were two Cheverly (Md.) ]
residents—Danny Lane. 15, of
11 Cheverly circle, and Andrew 1
Reinhardt, 39, of 6207 Forest i
road—and a Richmond (Va.)
resident, John Krevonick, 36.
Harry Lane, 45, Danny’s fa
ther and the owner of the run
about, swam four miles against
the tide for help. Ironically, the
rescue plane he had sent out
arrived half an hour after the
trio had been picked up by a
boat that was in the area solely
by chance.
“Our propeller fouled up with
the anchor line,” Mr. Lane, who
operates his own insurance
agency, explained. “In extricat
ing it, our anchor line was cut.
and we toc£ in from 30 to 4Q
gallons of water.
“This was Just too much for
an otherwise seaworthy boat.
We efeing; to its sides for a
while, hoping to get help. Sum
eral times we spotted b<o
passing about 500 yards awM,
and we thought. ‘They must we
us.’ But they never did. ft
“After about two agonizing
hours of this, I left the others
and swam four miles against
the most severe tides I’ve ever
seen. I finally saw a small row
boat with two elderly men in
it, and they took me to shore.
“There, I called police, and
they sent a plane.” But, before
the plane arrived, the boy and
two men were taken aboard a
boat operated by John H. Clark
and Frank Scanlon of Glen
Burnie, Md.
The rescue took place around
Herring Bay. Mr. Lane landed
at Shadyside, where the local
volunteer rescue squad par
ticipated in a search along with
Anne Arundel County and
State police.
"Andy (Reinhardt) actually
saved my boy’s life,” Mr. Lane
said last night. “Several time:
the boy blacked out, only to be
held up by Andy.”

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Julie Needs Trip,
And You Can Help
Her father’s childhood has
cast a long shadow over Julie's
life.
For her father is illiterate.
It didn't matter while his
children were small A plumb
er, he earned enough to support
his family well.
Then the children learned to
read, and his illiteracy became
a torment. Combined with
other pressures from his un
happy past, it drove him to
the refuge of illness.
He has not been able to use
his arms since his breakdown
several years ago, although doc
tors have found nothing phys
ically wrong.
In the meantime his family
has been living in poverty
Although they now have wel
fare assistance, their home is
bleak and barren.
Ten-year-old Julie is one oi
the children in that home
T%day she is a rather awkward
little girl who has had nc
chance to develop the grac<
that comes with parental ap
proval. It is hard for her fathei
to praise his children’s accom
plishments.

adoption was official. “But if
we hadn’t had the letters, it
would have been much more
difficult.” ,
Dr. and Mrs. Francis F.
Barnes of 6111 Wiscasset road,
Mbhican Hills, Md., decided on
New Year's Day, 1957, to adopt
a child, Dr. Barnes, a Washing
ton psychiatrist who also
teaches at Georgetown Univer
sity Medical School, is Irish.
His wife is British. Mrs. Barnes
promptly wrote to her brother
; in England and to her brother
-1 in-law in Ireland. Could they
; help her? .
Her Irish relative told her
, Irish children cannot leave their
i homeland until they are a year
! old. Her English brother lo
cated a 6-week-old baby who
j could be adopted immediately.
British laws prohibit the adop
tion of British children by aliens
but Mrs. Barnes was a British
subject. (Since the adoption,
British law hive been further
tightened to require even Brit
ish subjects to be in residence
eight months before adoption.)
“I left America alone to get
our little girl Maeve on Mother’s
day, 1957, “Mrs. Barnes re
called. “We landed at Idlewild
on Father’s Day, 1957.”
Both Desire More
Both Mrs. Rosenbaum and
Mrs. Barnes say they want more
children. Mrs. Rosenbaum plans
to go back to Germany and Mrs.
Barnes hopes to find an Amer
ican brother for her little Eng
lish girl.

Poll Taken
On Replacing
McLaughlin
Members of the Citizens’ Ad
visory Council were canvassed
late last week in an effort to
head off a reported move to
supplant Commissioner Robert
E. McLaughlin as president of
the District Board of Com
missioners.
The canvassing, it was dis
closed yesterday, was carried
out by one of nine members of
the council, an advisory group
to the Commissioners. It’ was
apparently prompted by a re
port that Commissioner David
B. Karrick is interested in as
summing board leadership in
place of Mr. McLaughlin, who
is currently awaiting Senate
confirmation for his second
board term.
The council member who
undertook the canvassing asked
to remain anonymous. He told
The Star a majority of the
council favored Mr. McLaugh
lin’s retention as board presi-
dent.
Edward Burling. jr„ council
chairman, reached last night
in New Jersey, said the council
had no connection with the
canvass. He said he had been
approached personally by a
council member after a Friday
meeting, but that the council
would take no action in the
matter.
“It is not in the province of
the Advisory Council to have
any say in this,” he declared.

Dogs' Best Friend to Bid Goodbye
To District Pound After 23 Years
By RICHARD O’LONE
Star Stall Writer
Frank B. Marks, the District’s
most militant dog lover, is re
tiring reluctantly June 30, with |
misgivings about the future of
e the city’s dog pound, which he
- has headed for 23 years.
t Mr. Marks is shy about re
i vealing his age, but he feels
- he’s young enough to handle
- the job of District poundmaster
o for 10 more years, if the Dis
-3 trict wojild let him.
n “There are members of Con
n gress who are 85 and 90 and
j older,” he snorted,
h Mr. Marks is proud of what
:t he has done for the pound and
i-; is worried about its future un
n der a plan to transfer it from
ig the jurisdiction of police to the
a. Health Department,
m "When I took over the pound,
re!it had been under the Health
i- Department," he said. "It was
the dirtiest, filthiest mess I
ts ever saw.
id "They put me in exclusive 1
m charge, and I rebuilt the pound. <

Condemnation
Suit Planned
Park Authority
To Take Action
For Pepco Tract
The Fairfax County Park i
Authority plans to start con- i
demnation proceedings this
week to acquire 600 acres of | j
land at Great Falls. i
Pinal authorization for the
condemnation has been given <
by the authority after the Po- j
tomac Electric Powet Co. turned I
down the park group's offer
to buy the tract.
Charles C. Robinson, secre
tary of the authority, said Fair- 1
fax attorney Edward Gasson i
has been employed to handle i
the condemnation proceedings.
Mr. Robinson said that since
PEPCO is a public utility with
condemnation rights of its own,
the authority may have to pro
ceed through the State Corpor
ation Commission which con
trols utility firms. Ordinarily,
a condemnation suit would be
filed directly with the courts.
Declines to Sell
The authority jvoted for con
demnation at a meeting Friday
night after Roy Dunn, presi
dent of PEPCO, told the au
thority that the company is
holding the property for its
own use and is not interested
in selling any of the 887 acres
it owns at Great Falls.
The park authority now owns
eight acres at Great Falls Park
and leases about 60 from PEP
CO.
The authority and the Fair
fax Board of County Super
visors have tried unsuccess
fully for several years to nego
tiate a purchase of additional
acreage. The county board
recently gave its backing to
condemnation proceedings.
The county board has set
aside SIOO,OOO in the 1958-9
budget for land purchase at
Great Falls. The authority ex
pects to raise another $250,000
through Issuance of bonds. Mr,
Robinso nalso said a conserva
tion organization tentatively
has agreed to put up an addi
tional $250,000.
The authority plans to con
demn all the river frontage
from Difficult Run to the gov
ernment dam above Great Falls
This will include all of the lane
between Route 193 (Ole
Georgetown pike) and the rivei
to the intersection of Route
1 193 and Old Dominion drive
The hillside and bluffs abovi
; the present county-owned lam
and the present parking lot als<
will be included.
Includes Canal Locks
Mr. Robinson said the 600
acres Includes the historic ca-.
nal locks built by George Wash
ington and all of the PEPCO
tract which should be preserved
for scenic, geologic and botanic
reasons.
Most of the acreage will be
kept in its present natural state,
Mr. Robinson said. He said that
bridle trails and some facilities
for overnight camping by
Scouts probably will be in
stalled. He said that eventually
some cabins may be built.
The Great Falls condemna
tion is the beginning of an over
all park expansion program
planned for Fairfax County.
The County Board said two
■ weeks ago that it intends to
I seek Federal funds under the
Capper-Cramton Act for de

2 Top Officers
On Baltimore
Force Convicted
BALTIMORE, .June 14 WPV—
The two top officers in the
police rackets division. Inspec
tor Clarence O. Forrester and
Capt. Hyman Goldstein, were
convicted today of inducing
two policemen to lie in a gam
bling trial.
A jury of six men and six;
women returned the suborna

Baltimore Criminal Court after!
deliberating four and a half
hours.
Judge Reuben Oppenheimer
deferred sentencing of For
rester and Goldstein pending a
motion for a new trial. He set
bail in the meantime at $2,000
each and gave them until Mon
day to make arrangements for
posting it.
Forrester and Goldstein were
accused of getting two, subordi
nates to lie in court in an at
tempt to convict a defendant
in a numbers-racket case.
State’s Attorney J. Harold
Grady told the criminal court
(jury that the motive for the
frame-up Forrester and Gold

missioner James Hepbron “had
put the heat on the rackets di
vision. He told them they had
to produce.”

for torturing," he said.
Although he’s leaving his Job
in a troubled frame of mind,
Mr. Marks has many pleasant
memories.
"I’ve made thousands of
friends throughout the coun

of business with Senators and
Congressmen, and many have
commended me for my work.”
Just last year, he said, one
of his best customers. Repre
sentative Frank Boykin, Demo
crat of Alabama, purchased
about 100 dogs from him and
shipped them to friends in hi!
home State.
Mr. Marks, a native of Balti

a young boy. He was a hlghl]
successful real-estate salesmar
until the depression.
"Business got dull, and I go'
discouraged,” he said.
