Easter
Parade

1T the season Tor caneraInen
to go haywire - in full color
NEXT to Christmas itself. Easter is the
~ photographer favorite holiday.
Each year. hundreds of bulb-and-shutter
men wrack their brains for new Easter ideas
which they hope to sell as magazine covers
They rent lambs. rabbits. chickens and
ducks from pet shops and pose them with
little boys and girls. They buy dozens OF
eggs and paint them with bright colors. They
hire demure models to pose in f1owery hats
It's not bad business risk at that - what
pictures they can't sell as magazine covers.
they can usually unload on calendar manu-
facturers or advertisers.
i HE net result is that Easter is becoming
increasingly "technicolor" year by year. Par
ticularly when you count in the thousands of
Hollywood publicity pictures - starlets in all
manner of barren -midriff costumes smuggling
up to huge cotton bunnies.
Incidentally. if you've ever had trouble
trying to explain to Junior why the Easter
bunny lays eggs. here are the inside facts:
Many Easter trimmings originated IN pagan
times. Eggs were considered symbols OF fer
tility by the pagans. and rabbits were feared
as agents of witchcraft. Somehow. in legend,
rabbits and eggs got mixed up with one an
other - but tell that to Junior and see how
far you'll get. JANE J0suN

A man who claimed TO be q Falls
Church salesman, and who allegedly
sold a nonexistent new automobile
three times for a total of $3.50,
was arrested yesterday by York
(Pa) police on charge Of cheat
ing by false spretense.
York police booked the man as
William Henry Glenn, 40. He de-
scribed himself as a Falls Church
salesman and agent. Falls Church
police said they had no informa-
ton about the man.
The system used by Glenn, who,
police said, freely had admitted the
deals, was described as ingenious.
Chief Nelson Z. Shultz said Glenn
inserted an advertisement in q York
newspaper last month, offering for
sale a 1946 Plymouth which had
been driven "only 80 miles" The
ad declared the car was available
at. the OPA ceiling price, $l,068.85,
Chief Shultz said.
"Bulged" With Ad Replies.
When Glenn was arrested, police
said his brief case was bulging with
replies from prospective buyers. Yes
terday, they said, was the day he
was to have made his killing"
About 20 of the would-be buyers
received replies from Glenn, Chief
Shultz charged, stating that they
had been selected to be the fortu-
nate purchasers. In his replies,
Glenn allegedly told his victims the
car was on display at a York auto
garage. However, r. G. Keller, the

garage manager, became suspicious
at the number of persons who came
to the nonexistent car, and informed
police.
Police told Mr.. Keller to get the
names of the next batch Of pros
pective buyers" Meanwhile, John
Kuhn, who lad replied to the adver-
tisement, received a telegram from
Glenn saying that he could buy the
car If he appeared at a York bank
before it closed at pm. yesterday
Caught by Detective.
Mr.. Kuhn Informed police, York
Detective Orie Gosnell met Glenn
at the bank and represented himself
as another prospective buyers
uncle" They then went to an at
torney's Office to close the deal.
While the uncle" was discussing
the title, Glenn allegedly asked for
81 ,070, and police seized the sales
man. In his brief case they said
they found $2,495 and papers indi-
eating other sales of the car. Police
said Glenn admitted collecting
money for the car earlier from two
other citizens, both Of whom later
confirmed the sales"
Also found among Glenn's papers
was a receipt showing he had placed
similar advertisement In Harris
burg, Pa.) newspaper Friday, police
said.
Alderman II. q. Fickes said Glenn

Election Supervisors
Work Today Counting
'conor -Markeyv Vote
Nv tha Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Nov City elec-
ton supervisors are prepared to work
all day Sunday on their odicial can
vass Of returns in Tuesdays elec-
tions. This gave promise ANAL fig-
ures will be available Monday in
the O'Connor-Markey race for the
United States Senate.
On the basis of oficial canvass
figures from. all of Maryland's 23
counties and unomcial returns from
all but four missing Baltimore poll
ing places, Gov. O'Connor continued
to hold q 1,638-vote lead over his
Republican opponent, D. John Mar
key.
Mr.. Markey's headquarters refused
to concede that Gov. O'Conor had
been elected, although strategists at
both camps acknowledged the four
missing returns probably would ia
vor Gov. O'Conor.
Four Returns Were Lost.
The canvassers had not yet
reached any Of the four missing
returns, which became lost In the
hustle OF unofncial counting Tues
day night. No report from these
districts will be available until the
supervisors reach the sealed en-
velopes In which oficial returns were
made.
Gov. O'Conor already had picked
up 200 votes In the canvass Of city
results. The supervisors found even
the oficial reports from one precinct
showed that many more votes than
were actually cast
With Representatives OF both can
didates present, the supervisors held
a special session, unlocked the vot-
ing machines and determined the
clerks had reported 200 too many
votes for Mr.. Markey.
No Provision for Recount.
Both Markey strategists and At
torney General William Curran said
a search of statutes shows no pro-
vision for q Statewide recount of
the offlcial canvass.
The Republicans main resort,
should Gov. O'Conor be declared the
winner In the ofncial tabulation,
would be to the courts. This would
involve allegations of irregularities
In the voting. While there was
speculation at his headquarters,
none of Mr.. Markeys spokesmen in
dicated that the result might be
challenged.

ated by the Arlington & Fairfax.

is effective the Arnold Lines proposes
to reroute many Of its buses now
using the K street route through
Georgetown to the Fourteenth street
bridge. They will then cross the
Pentagon road structure to WASH
ington boulevard and thence to Falls
Church.
Mr.. England said that the traffic
bottleneck in Georgetown is getting
worse every month. He notes that
the K street buses now have to pass
about 80 traffic lights. They would
have only four or five in going out
