Larry Roberts, II, a 'blue baby"
back at Camp Sunshine for
second year, was very limited in
his activities. When he went on
a frog hunt, he couldn't chase the
frogs the way some of his friends
could. He rested and watched.
Ten-year-o Mike Holohan, the
best frog-catcher in the camp,
made it up to Larry. He caught
three in one day and gave them
all to his friend to carry back to
camp. Mike was there with his
brothers James, Is; Steve, 9, and
his sister. Claire, IL. They live at
1109 M street NV. Larry is from
Mount Rainier. Md.
The children are divided into
two groups-the frogs, who can
do more active things, and the
polliwogs. who must be restricted.

Third Suspect Freed,
Harrington Attacker
OF Girl Still at LARGE

A third suspect was released
today in the rape and beating OF
a 23-year-old Ecuadorean student,
leaving police without clue in
the North darlington attack yes
terday afternoon.
Fifteen Arlington detectives
continued a relentless search for
a man described by the victim
as a giant, nude Negro, who en-
countered the woman in wooded
section of the Virginia community.
Two other suspects were cleared
earlier as police checked on 500
persons last night and today.
The man released this morning
had been arrested at his home
not far from the attack scene.
The girl, described as an at
tractive brunette, was in "satis-
factory" condition in Arlington
Hospital. Attendants said she was
badly bruised about the face and
neck, but should soon be released.
Three Blocks From Highway.
The attack occurred about
pm. yesterday, about two blocks
into the woods from the 1900
block of Thirty-first road South,
and three blocks from Shirley
highway.
In piecing together the details,
police said the woman had walked
over an often-used pebble path,
which goes from North darlington
to the Shirlington shopping center
The attack occurred as she was
returning with bag of groceries.
Police were able to CLEAN only
meager accounts of what hap
pened, since the woman still was
in no condition to talk to them
this morning.
The man apparently grabbed
her from the rear and tore of
most of the play suit she. wa.
wearing. After the attack, she
staggered toward the edge of the
woods.
Three small boys who had beer
playing in the woods with bows
and arrows ran across her. She
was unclad and held in front of
her the shopping bag which had
contained the groceries.
Boys Stand Guard.
"Oh please save me-" the boys
said she muttered in broken Eng
lish.
The boys, Timothy Hahn, 10,
Brooks Claston, 8, and Robert
Price, 8, all of the 460O block of
Thirty-f1rst road South, said they
went with her to the edge of the
woods.
Fearing the attacker might re-
turn, they fixed their toy bows
and arrows and held them in
readiness.
Then they stood guard at the
edge Of the woods while the wo-
man went up to a window at the
home Of Mrs. J. r. Green, 4611
Thirty-f1rSt road South.
Mrs. Green said she heard a
voice say Let me in, let me in. "
She saw it was woman and ad-
mitted her.
