LEESBURG, Va, June 17.-They
buried the unidentified dead from
Fridays plane crash yesterday in
a huge 2O-by foot grave gouged
out of Virginia red clay with a
bulldoZer.
Ten identical gray cofins, each
with a spray of gladioluses and snap
dragons on it, rested in front Of an
undertaker's canopy. There were
other flowers across the grave, on a
big mound of newly piled earth,
which the artificial turf failed to
cover.
The familiar phrase from the
funeral service in the Book Of Com
mon Prayer, Tn my Fathers house
there are many mansions" had
added Significance read over those
10 cofdns.
Beautiful Resting Place.
They were buried in as beautiful
a spot as any final resting place in
America. Fairfax Cemetery is a
shaded green knoll that rises in the
foothills of the Appalachians. The
land slopes away on all sides. 1t is
named after leading citizen buried
here in 1916, Henry Fairfax of the
Fairfax -Culpeper family which once
owned all Northern Virginia. Its
headstones bear the names OF Ran
dolphs, Carriers and Lees.
Shortly before the ceremonies, in
vestigators established the identi-
ties of three other bodies-those OF
Mrs. June Vale Deishly of Chicago
|Isadore Goldberg Of Milwaukee and
Miss Minnie Harman, Washington
Red Gross worker. Miss Harmanf
body was claimed by her brother
y. w. Harman. Tazewell, Va. who
plans to have his sister buried in
the Virginia town.
The body of John r. Dewar, Am
bridge, Pa, which had been identi-
fed earlier, was returned to his
home for burial. His wife, one OF
the unidentified dead, was buriee
in the mass grave. The Ave

Signs warning school children to
be careful Of traffic during the sum-

strips, on transit vehicles and at
other vantage points to aid in cut
ting down the accident toll, it was
announced last night by the Com
Imissioners' Traffic Advisory Board
The signs will bear such legends
as Schools Out-Watch Out

dressed to motorists which will read

funds which are left over from
other purposes, it was agreed dur
ing the Municipal Center meeting
Safety Films Proposed.
In addition, some of the funds
will be used to stencil traffic warn
ing signs at pedestrian crossings
land for motion-pict trailers on
safety. The use of the money for
these purposes was suggested by A.
Julian Brylawski, chairman of the
Committee on Education.
The board voted to send to the
Commissioners letter asking that
the present court collateral list be
rescinded to make way for a new
list slated to go into effect July
The new list will carry heavier
penalties for traffic violations, such
as a S. fine instead of a 81 fine for
jaywalking.
Considerable time was spent dis
cussing the wording on proposed
signs to be placed at the entrances
to the city. The shield shape OF
the sign, and the use of the District
Of Columbia shield, as well as the
words welcome to Washington,
were generally agreed upon. But
there was some disagreement on
whether it would be better to give
the speed limit or warning motorists
to use a low light beam. Also
whether to use the words District
of Columbia" instead of "The Ma
tion's Capital" beneath the words
Of welcome.
Further Study Ordered.
The matter finally was referred
back to the Committee on Education
for further study.
Traffic Director George E. KeneipI
told the group he is going to meet
with traffic officials of Virginia and
Maryland to correct certain phases
of the reciprocity agreements on
licenses between the States and the
District which, he said. "have been
a source of trouble"
