GIRL s BODY
FOUND IN
POTOMAC
Victim Well Dressed ;
Wedding Ring on
Her Finger

Washington detectives today dis
PEELED the theory that a Is or 30
year-old well-dreSsed woman found
in the Potomac early today might
have been murdered. Detective
Sergt. George Darnell, chief of the
homicide squad, said there were
no marks of violence on her body.
Identification efforts thus far
have been futile.
Sighted by a captain of a river
tug, belonging to the Smoot Sand
and Gravel Company, the woman's
body was pulled from the Potomac
opposite the Naval Radio Labora-
tories. Bellevue, D. c., by harbor
police.
The body was Immediately
taken to the District Morgtle foE
q coroner's examination, while po-
lice checked through the records
of missing persons during the last
month. The woman had been dead
for three or four days, police said.
At the morgue, the woman was
described as being about 5 feet
2 inches tall, and weighing about
lis pounds. There was white
gold wedding ring and a dinner
ring on her left hand. There
were no initials or other identity
ing marks on the rings. She wore
blue dress with red belt, flesh
colored stockings and white high
heeled shoes.
Darnell said the woman might
have jumped or fallen into any of
the three river channels in, Wash
ington, and the body later floated
to the spot where it was found
today.
Only few persons visited the
morgue this morning, police said.
A further check will be made with
Baltimore and New York city po-
lice if an Identification is not
made within the next II hours,
Darnsll said.

and duo playing of these artists
was technically brilliant with a
romantic appeal.
Mr.. CaSadeSuS opened the pro-

works by Jean PHILIPPE Rameau

their continuous moving parts,
were obviously written for the
clavichord.
He gave an Interpretation of
Beethoven's Sonata in F Minor,

full of charm. The last group of
Ravel'S works revealed him as an
interpreter of modern idiom which
was accomplished with sweeping
breadth of dynamics.

tered his abdomen and lodged in
his breast.
