said today he hadn't decided what
if any, charges might be placed
against several college students
from Washington, D. c., arrested
in weekend drinking party here.
Mr.. Sanford ordered the raid
early yesterday on a rented house.
I'm not so sure these kids are
to blame as much as their parents
and the town authorities" the
States attorney declared.
Mr.. Sanford directed a sheriff S
deputy to take an Ocean City
policeman with him and break up
what was described as a wild
drinking spree" by George Wash
ington University men and women
In addition to arresting half a
dozen, the police seized beer, a
beer cooler and gin. Mr.. Sanford
said the beer came from Salisbury

Search Continuing
For Fisherman, 13

Police continued their search
today for a 13-year-old Mercers-
burg (Pa.) boy who disappeared
about noon yesterday while fishing
from the rocks in the Potomac
River, about 200 feet above Chain
Bridge.
The boy, Robert Carbaugh. had
been fishing all night with his
father. Glenn Carbaugh, 81. and
an uncle, Paul Carbaugh, 26. The
lad was fishing at a spot called
TurnWater Eddy.
They last saw the boy at 1880
am. fishing about so feet up
stream from a group of jutting
rocks on the District side. They
told police they neither heard nor
saw anything before noticing that
the boy was missing about is
minutes later.
They called police and a search
was made of the river side and
the steep, wooded hills behind.
Another fisherman, Gideon Dar-
kis of Frederick, Md, was fishing
about rs yards downstream from
the Carbaugh party at the time.
He told police he saw what looked
like boy bob up out of the
water, then disappear.
Police said they were unable to
understand how the boy could
have fallen into the river without
being seen or heard by the Car
baughs or other fishermen nearby.
Harbor police boats, called to
search for the boy, were forced to
hover below the spot where he
disappeared because of the rocks
and the swift-moving water.

Baileys Cross Roads is the in
tersection of Columbia Pike, the
road that runs directly west from
the Highway or Fourteenth street
bridge, and the Leesburg Pike. the
road that runs northwest from
through Falls Church
on it's way to the Blue Ridge and
the lower Shenandoah Valley.
You pass the Pentagon on your
right, and follow the signs which
take you past the Navy Annex and
through a new commercial area
near the Glebe road crossing with
super shopping centers, Office
buildings and bungalows con-
verted into real estate Offices, in
surance and title offices and
beauty parlors.
The Bancroft apartments are on
the left, one of the best of those
modern installations that give an
illusion of living in the country
with apartment conveniences. It's
were successful in saw
ing many of the tall oak and pine
trees that once were a solid stand.
You go down a hill and cross the
Four Mile Run where DR.. John
Bancroft built a mill before the
Civil War and started the little
community which today is little
more than the "B" on the A. B.
g. w. bus line.
The Road Narrows.
There are other apartment de-
velopments on the hill on the
other side of the stream. Then the
road narrows. A mile beyond is a
cluster of country stores. That is
Bailey's Cross Roads.
When Irwin Payne built his very
attractive house at the northeast
corner, Baileys Cross Roads was
hardly more than a country road
junction.
Recently. Mr.. Payne has had to
refuse offers of as high as Sc a
square foot for his front lawn,
"a broad expanse of green re-
tained by a low stone wall with a
border of iris now in bloom. It
is not hard to figure that Mr..
Payne would have 100000 at that
rate for a 100-foot square of his
lawn.
It is not Mr.. Payne's success
at landscape gardening that is
prompting these offers. The pur-
Ichasers would do away with the
lawn and the iris border and the
stream which flows under viii
lows through a bed of carefully
arranged rocks into pools enliv-
ened by gold fish. They would
convert the property into shop
ping center.
Owned by Three Men
Three men own the corners of
IBaileys Cross Roads, Mr.. Payne,
Lemuel T. Dowden and Ep Oliver.
They won't sell. Mr.. Dowden was
Offered $50,000 cash for his cor
ner acre and the purchaser would
be perfectly willing for him to
keep his store building as long
as he moved it off the property.
And the men have been aware
of some criticism from their
neighbors - a freely expressed
idea that they are standing in
the path of progress. Mr.. Dow
