EASTPORT, Md, July 5.-Run-

Baby bivalves are known to

The study is only one of several

Special Dispatch to The stor

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
July 5.-A $250,000 jackpot is
steadily piling up for the new
Calvert County Hospital. which
will be built with slot machine
money.
About $4,000 came into the
hospital treasury from license fees
paid in the last fiscal year, the
first year of legal operation. The
fiscal year for slot machine IL
censes begins July /.
A similar amount is anticipated
during the next IL months from
operators of some 500 machines,
the approximate number licensed
last year.
The county's slot machine law
was approved in a referendum
about two years ago by a vote OF
nearly 2 to /. 1t provided that
revenues be used first to pay the
$4,000 cost of the special election
and then turned over to the hos
pital by the county commission
ers until the building fund
reached a total of $3.50. 900. After
that income from the devices will
revert to the county's general
fund.
Plans for the new hospital call
for expenditure of $375, 900, the
difference between that amount
and the $3.50, 900 is to come from
the Government under the Hill
Burton Act. This provides for a
Government grant of SO per cent
of the total raised by the county.
With a substantial amount on
hand and more coming in each
month, the hospitals Board OF
Directors has selected a site and
employed an architect to draw
plans for a one-story f1reproof
structure with space for % beds.

PBA Guard Quizzed
On Clue He Offered
In Sailors Murder

Montgomery County detectives
investigating the murder of
young sailor near Rockville
today questioned a Public Build
ings Administration guard re-
ported to have seen two men
near the spot where a bloods
stained car was found early Sat-
urday. They refused to disclose
what they learned. however.
Detectives said the guard told
park police he saw the pair hurry
ing away from the Potomac River
seawall at Rock Creek parkway
and Constitution avenue a few
hours before the half-submerged
car was found.
Bloodstains in the car, accord
ing to police, have been found to
match the blood of the murdered
sailor, John J. Little. 18. whose
body was discovered last Saturday
beside tavern on Route 240 about
q mile and a half from Rockville.
The sailor, whose head had been
beaten in. was hitchhiking from
the Naval Air Station. Oceana,
Va, to his home at Loretto, Pa.
Detectives said the guards re-
port is the only tangible lead OBJ
tanned thus far in their attempt to
solve the murder. The car is owned
by Hazel Oliver Hawkins. colored,
Rockville. who reported the auto
mobile had been stolen Friday
night in Rockville.
Detectives also urged the two
men who found the abandoned car
to get in touch with them to sup
ply further information in the
case.
At the same time. detectives
said. study of State police re-
port on the holdup of two Rich
mond College students early Sun
day at Beltsville revealed there
was no connection between that
incident and the murder.
Yesterday. detectives questioned
q sailor stationed at the Naval
Medical Center in Bethesda.
They quoted him as saying he
picked up another sailor answer
ing the slain youths description
early Saturday in Bethesda and
drove him to Rockville. Detectives
said the sailor was unable, how
ever, to identify a full-face pic

RunowoyOysters TrockedDown
With Microscopes and Silk Nets

Mr.. Engle explained that short
ly after birth the microscopic
oyster grows a membrane swim
ming organ shaped like an inside
out umbrella with waving ten
tacles around the perimeter.
Like tiny helicopters the oysters
pull themselves up from the bot
tom and, as they approach the
surface, are carried off by shifting
currents
Annoyed by any disturbance in
the water, the oyster will pull in
his umbrella, close up in his shell
and sink to the bottom, perhaps
hundreds of feet away from his
starting point. Later the oyster
will start swimming again.
At the age of about two weeks
he will settle to the bottom fol
good. If he lands in the mud
he dies; if he lands on smooth
surface like an empty oyster shell
he attaches himself for life, OF
until harvested by a Maryland
oysterman.
That is why oyster shells planted
by the State will be thrown over
board in the place where most Of
the young oysters are settling tt
the bottom
What Devices Indicate
Mr.. Engle's underwater devices
indicate that many of the Eastern
bay baby oysters, are landing nea,
the Western section of the bay.
( Where do they come from? Tht
studies of Eastern bay tides indi'
cate that very likely they swim
miles across the bay with tn,
aid of an elliptically flowing cur
rent.
