The daily grind has become a little
rugged lately-he's on the Yugo-
slavian desk in the State Depart
ment. The Robert van Royens betook
themselves and their guests back to
Warrenton the same evening, to
their beautiful place, st. Leonard's,
where they entertained at dinner
last night after the Warrenton Horse
Show, going on later for dancing to
Warrentonians pet Saturday rem

One of the most popular men in
the Foreign Service of the United
States Che might even be the most
popular II a poll were taken) has
been transferred to a new post and
will be breezing through his old
stamping grounds in the not too
distant future. 1t is none other than
that likable personality, good hoofer
and excellent dinner partner, Dorsey
Fisher, whose able services have been
enlisted since 1941 by the American
Embassy in London, where he was in
charge of press relations. He will 90
to a similar job in Mexico City in
December after three weeks in
Washington around Thanksgiving
time. His mother, Mrs. Ronald
Fisher, had superb time visiting
him last winter in London, where
Dorse, of course, knows everybody
anybody wants to know.
The Noel Macys have a tough
life. For the past week they've had
nothing to do but cruise of the
Eastern Shore in their modest, COM
Portable yacht, stopping at Solomons
Island, Gibson Island and Annapolis
for parties and the like. They came
ashore at the latter place t'other
day, putting in at the Admiral's s
pier, no less, and whisked of to
the Town Club for cocktails and
the North Severn Club for dinner
in the pleasant company of the
William Burkes, Margaret Charles
and Russ Burke (no relation to

the South River to a point Just 8
miles from Annapolis they would
have seen the Leon Hendersons'
attractive white frame rambling
bungalow that sits up on a green
bluff overlooking the river.
The Hendersons' hospitality is
such that they are apt to have a

Murder Puzzle Seen.
As Bodies Of Woman
And Girl Are Found
BY the Associated Press

GRANT Mich, May 1.-THE
mysterious deaths of an unidentified
woman of about 80 and a 10-year-
old girl whose fully clothed bodies
were found face down in shallow
sandy grave in nearby Bridgeton
Township yesterday provided Mich
igan police with a major puzzle
today.
The sand-encrusted bodies, be-
lieved to have been buried about
two weeks ago, were discovered just
off a lonely country road in a grave
on the site of an abandoned well
and near hunting lodge.
First examination revealed a head
wound on the woman and no marks
of violence to the child, but Ne
WACO County Coroner Harold J.
Mckinley said he believed the two
had been murdered.
He and DR.. Lemoyne Snyder,
medo-legal director of the Michi-
gan State Police. ordered an in
quest today at the funeral parlor
where the bodies were taken.
State police reported no signs
of dragging the bodies to the shall
low grave, and theorized that any
violence committed must have taken
place at the spot.
A State officer said he believed
both woman and child died of frac-
tured skulls.
The only clue to the identity
of the victims was a locket worn
by the woman and containing
picture of man and woman.

Frank, two of the % top-ranking
Germans accused before the Inter-

Court Promises
Crockdown on
Stop Shippers

Judge John P. Mcmahon of Mu-
nicipal Court yesterday deplored a
growing laxity on the part of WASH
ington motorists in obeying stop
signals as one of the major causes
of accidents here.
The offense of jumping stop signs
and red lights seems to have become
a common practice here" said the
judge. Some people don't stop at
all, some slow down a little and
others go through the amber lights" "
Whether the neglect of stop sig
nails is deliberate or careless, the
judge asserted, the offenses will
have to be cut down and we are
going to clamp down on them"
Judge Mcmahon took over the
Traffic Court bench this week after
an absence of approximately two
years from that branch of Munic-
ipal Court.

Swedes Tell Pupils of Country
In Guest Instructor Plan

They were all there to learn about
one another, although only few
realized that what they learned
might have an interna tional effect.
The SWedes were there to tell
about Sweden and more than 100
District school pupils were there to
hear them. A representative of the
State Department watched, making
up his mind whether to recommend
or discourage such an idea. A dis
charged soldier watched to see how
successful was his pet plan for in
ternational good will.
The demonstration began yester-
day when Miss Elizabeth M. An
drews, principal, told the assembled
pupils OF Bancroft Elementary
School, Eighteenth and Newton

from the Swedish Legation were
there to show them what life in their
country was like. But first she in

gram was to deal with Sweden, not
Canada. as was the case a week or so
ago at the school.
Got Idea I'm 1880.
He did not tell them the foreign
guest-instructor idea, about to be
demonstrated, had been churning
in his mind since 1880 when he was
foreign student adviser at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Nor did he
say to them as he did later to the
adults present, that he was devoting
his wartime savings to his plan to
have either the State Department or
the United Nations Educational
Scientific and Cultural Organization
take over his one-man crusade to
exchange guest teams to
go from town to town and school to

To the front then came Miss Mary

Increased 'brownout'

In electrical power lifted from the
District today with the outlook that
more drastic brownout restrictions
Will not be necessary If the coal
strike is settled during the next two
weeks.

miners back to work brought assur-
ance from the District Commits
sioners that lights will continue to
burn in amusement houses and
schools for at least two weeks be-
yond next Tuesday when phase

been invoked.
Following conference with the
commissioners A. G. Neal, president
OF the Potomac Electric Power Co..
SAID there appeared to be no reason
1or more severe controls If the
miners continued to work.
Present "Brownout" Continues.
But Pepco officials and the Com
missioners agreed it is imperative
to continue the present brownout
which reduces the flow of current
to industrial and domestic consum-
ers. Police will continue to exer-
else vigilance in enforcing the Or
Ger. the Commissioners added.
For the second straight day, Pepco
consumers yesterday cut the normal
consumption of electricity "a per
cent, officials said. They empha-
sized the necessity for continued
observance of the brownout until
there is a sufficient and continuous
flow of coal.
In Virginia, the State Corporation
Commission refused to relax strin-
gent rationing controls clamped on
Sc Eastern and Northern counties
yesterday.
After a meeting with officials of

the commission said it feels that
the situation is still critical, and
that the general plan of rationing
cannot presently be relaxed" 1t said
there appears to be no assurance
at this time of any substantial relief"
in the coal shortage.
The decision will force $500 900
Virginians, including those of Alex
andria and Arlington and Fairfax
Counties, to continue operation of
non essential business on "a hours
OF electricity a week. All places of
amusement are denied electric cur
rent under the order.
Virginia Cooperation Excellent"
l.. Mccarthy Downs, commission
chairman. said cooperation with
the rationing order had been excel
lent. Although there have been ap-
pllcations for exemptions only some
laundries have been allowed more
than the fixed amount of electricity,
he said.
Yesterday Vepco, which serves 63
OF the counties affected, had on
hand $1,000 tons of coal, less than
enough for Is days normal opera

Service Commission, agreed there
was no need for Statewide brown
out at this time Voluntary meas
ures on an individual company basis
would be more effective, they de-
Cided.
