Police 10 Renew Hunt
For Drowned Bows

Police planned to drag the Ana
costa River again today for the
bodies of two small boys.
Missing since Friday were the
bodies of Richard F. Coles, 7, who
died with his brother Herbert, 10,
and an unidentified boy, said by a
playmate to have slipped from the
seawall on the Anacostia side of
the river shortly after the Coles
double tragedy.
Coroner "A. Magruder Macdonald,
meanwhile, issued certificates of ac-
cidental death in the case of Her.

cred Friday night, and in the case
Of Mrs. Marie Sonkins, SO, of the
2700 block of Fourteenth street NV.
Mrs. Sonkins disappeared overheard
from rowboat last Monday and
her body was recovered Friday.
While police waited for the par
ents of the unidentified boy to re-
port him missing, the only witness
to the reported drowning-11-year-
old Douglas Pearson, 3101 K street
S.E-expressed the belief that the
boy might have climbed out of the
river while Douglas was telephoning
for help.
Douglas, who has been questioned
frequently by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugh Pearson, about the story
he told police, suggested to a Star
reporter last night that the boy
might have gone home without men,
tioning to his parents that he had
fallen in the river.

mended establishment of an inter-

up to 3,000,00 homeless persons in

The report opens with a state

The main conflict was over wheth-

The British lost to an American

Britain held that no one should re-

The physicist said "all scientists
are in agreement that the best way
to use an atomic bomb against ships
IS to set it of at very considerable

that this type of test had been post

S6oo,oo0 Park Plan
For Montgomery
Urged by Lee, Green

Moving to acquire additional park
and recreational areas in suburban
Montgomery County in advance of
high property values, E. Brooke
Lee, vice chairman of the Maryland
National Capital Park 81 Planning
Commission and Richard r. Green,
Montgomery County member of
the commission, last night an
nounced recommendation of an i'm
mediate program to cost $500, 900.
The cost would be equally divided
between locations in the western
and eastern sections of the county
The proposals, which will be sub
mitted at Wednesdays meeting of
the commission, include purchase
of large athletic play area in and
adjacent to Little Falls Branch
Valley, south of Massachusetts, ave-
nue.; acquisition of the 58-acre site
of the Argyle Golf Club in Silver
Spring and the 32-acre site of the
Bulls School, both east of Sligo
Valley Park and south of Forest
Glen road.
Under the plan, it is proposed
the commission Immediately start
operation of public fee golf course
on the Argyle Club property. The
site has a frame clubhouse and a
nine-hole golf course.
The 32-acre Bulls tract between
the golf course and the adjacent
section of Sligo Park, according to
the statement issued by Mr.. Lee
and Mr.. Green, would be used for
a series of background athletic
fields, tennis courts and similar
facilities. Lighting for night ac-
tivities would be removed from any
private residential property and
would furnish a minimum of an
noyance to residents.
Both properties are understood to
be available for purchase at an
average price of $4,000 an acre. At
this price, the cost of both sites
would approximate 100000.
