Best Places to Collect Snakes

After two years at camp, he stayed
here last season and collected more
than two dozen snakes, including
eighe varieties. At the end of the
summer he gave them to the zoo.
Besides snakes, the Adams me-
nagerie has been comprised of tur-
ties, white rats, mice, fish, frogs,

Police were searching today for
the intruder who flung a medical

~ The physician said he and his

Country clubs are the best places
for water snakes.
At least that's what Edward G..
Adams, jr.. says, and he ought to
know. He collects them. as well as
almost every other thing that
crawls, hops. slithers, Or runs on
four feet, six feet, eight feet or
ambulates by any other means.
If you see a slender tow-headed
16-year-old out along the roads
near his Potomac CMdJ home with
a bag under his arm, that's Ed, and
he's on an expedition. And if you
want any snakes or have any, he's
the man to see.
You get to know the best places
to look after a while" he said. "A
pile of stuff in the middle of a field
is almost a sure thing. For water
snakes I go to the country clubs,
and the canal, of course, is a good
hunting ground"
Ed catches his quarry by stepping
on it. He wears heavy CATERS and
shoes and seldom gets bitten. "I
steer clear of poisonous snakes" he
said. land there aren't many
around here anyway. The others
can't bite very well. Once I found
a garter snake in the middle of
Wisconsin avenue and he bit my
hand, and I had a queen snake on
my school desk one day, and it
jumped up and bit me on the nose" !"

Simpson. the notary admitted he
had not administered an oath to
Mrs. Nuanes before or after she

member of the State Central Com
mittee.
Mr.. Marshall declared yesterday
that the Arlington Republican leader
would be asked to resign from the
committee and that if he did
not resign, proceedings would be
instituted to ouSt him.
Mr. Marshall said the custer pro-
ceedings charges would be conduct

CURED at Alexandria.
Resolution Caused Trouble.
The only statement Mr.. Wilcher
would make today was:
Mr.. Marshall is doing all the
talking and 1 have no comment on
his statements. There is no dis
agreement between myself and the
fine leadership of our esteemed
State chairman, Robert Woods, and
all other members of the State Com
mittee."
| According to persons who attend
ed the banquet Mr.. Wilcher asked
Mr.. Marshall, who was presiding
to allow the secretary of the Ar
lington Young Republican Club to
read a resolution. The permission
was granted, but Mr.. Marshall ruled
the secretary, Mrs. Marjorie Wy
man, out of order when the resolu-
ton reached point where it criti-
cized appointment of Nathan J
Paulson to organized young Repub-
licans in Northern Virginia.
Fletcher Makes Statement.
The exchange between Mr.. Mar
shall and Mr.. Wilcher followed the
chairman's ruling.
| Bennie l.. Fletcher, jr., president
Of the Arlington Young Republican
Club, today declared in a statement
that "the blame for the unfor-
tunate display of temper" at the
Alexandria meeting rests solely on
the shoulders of myself and the
Young Republicans of Arlington.

that the Young Republicans felt
they had Just cause for COM
plaint' in not being consulted on
the appointment Of Mr.. Paulson
who is Alexandria City COP chair
man.
Discord Is Regretted.
I'VE were not consulted and, there
fore, we took it upon ourselves tc
let the senior members of the party
know how we felt We had no idea
that our protest would cause the
furor that developed. We are sin
cerely sorry that we were respon-
sible for injecting a note of discord
into meeting that had been up to
then very harmonious.
I'VE are confident that Mr.. Mar
shall, Mr.. Wilcher and the rest are
too intelligent to allow an incident
like this to destroy the harmony
that they have worked so hard to
