Murder Theory
In Death Of 7
Calvert County Pair
Were First Believed
Hit-and-Run Victims

Murder theories today spurred
police investigation of the deaths
of two young men whose badly
battered bodies were found on
Calvert County (Md.) highway
this morning.
The victims, Amos johnson,
about 20. of Lusby, Md, and ELS
worth johnson, about %, of
Dowell, Md, died of fractured
skulls. Both are colored and are
believed to be cousins.
A motorist found their bodies
on State Route 2. the SolomonS
Island road, at 5 am. in front of
the Hi-Hat Tavern, about 80 miles
southeast of Washington.
Police at first believed the men
had been struck by hit-and-run
car. but at noon State police at
the Waldorf station said their in
vestigation led them to believe the
deaths looked "less and less like
hit-and-run." Autopsies will be
performed this afternoon to de-
termine the exact cause of death.
Had Attended Party.
Mrs. Carl Griffith, wife of the
tavern owner, said the johnson
youths attended a birthday party
at the tavern last night. The
party ended at midnight. she said,
and there was no disturbance, but
some of those attending may have
stayed around the tavern grounds
later.
Mrs. Griffith said the body of
one youth was in the road, with
his head on the edge of the high
way. The second victims feet
were on the edge Of the road, with
the rest of his body in the high
way.
The position and appearance of
the bodies indicated they had been
placed there. rather than landing
there after being struck by a car,
Mrs. Griffith said.

The bodies were taken to fu-
neral home at Prince Frederick.
The medical examiner. DIR.

u. 5. Should Finance
Park Police Service
Here, Auditor Says
Bill Now Being Paid
BY District Amounts
To $501 ,476 q Yeor

District Auditor Arthur r.
Pilkerton today recommended that
the Federal Government be urged
to assume the cost of park police
service here.
At present, the District is pay
ing the bill, which amounts to
$501 ,476 a year.
In a statement to the Commis-
sioners, Mr.. Pilkerton said there
are "a authorized positions on the
uniformed park police at a total
monthly salary of $30.785, charge
able to the funds contained in the
District appropriation bill. In ad-
dition there are Is retired men,
bers of the Park Police, 18 widows
and four children who are paid
monthly pensions totaling $11,013
from the Policeman's and Fire
mans Relief Fund. These items
amount to over $500.0O0, he told
the Commissioners.
Doubts States Pay Costs.
Mr.. Pilkerton said he has reason
to believe that the cost of MAIN
tanning Federal parks within the
States is borne entirely by the
National Park Service.
'It is a fact, of course" he said,
that the District recreation ap-
preparation is available to the park
service for transfer annually. to
the United States Park Service
for maintaining of certain District
areas wholly owned and controlled
by the District and no question is
raised with respect to this type of
advance. But it does appear that
some effort should be made by
the Commissioners to require the
United States to carry some of
this burden of maintaining United
States parks within the District
and they should contact the Fed
eral officials with a view to con-
sidering the matter before the
1854 budget is submitted to Con-
gress."
Pensions Question.
Mr.. Pilkerton also told the Com
missioners the District should not
be saddled with the pensions of 10
retired members of the Secret
Service.
He said the Controller General
has held that employees of the
National Capital Parks working in
the District are Federal employees
and not District employees.
Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Robin
son. Engineer Commissioner, COM
mented that he would be in favor
of the plan-or any other plan
that would save the District
money. He said he will submit
the proposal to the advisory COM
|mittee on public works for study.

Halt in Employment
OF Visiting Nurses
Opposed by Cama|ier
District Morally Bound
To Use Their Services,
Commissioner Says

Commissioner Renah F. CANA
lier gave assurance yesterday that
u believes the District is morally
bound to employ the services Of
the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society.
The statement came as the lat
est move in what appears to be a
tug-of-war between the Health
Department and, the society over
funds provided in the last District
budget for the home nursing prof.
ect of city-supported patients.
The project was set up two
years ago, with the society taking
over the job of providing bedside
care for INDECENT patients, to re-
lieve the work Of the Health De-
partment staff. No funds to re-
imburSe the society were appro-
priated until this year.
In the budget for the present
fiscal year. a sum of $4,000 was
included in the Health Depart
ment appropriation, earmarked
for the society. 1t brought a pro-
test from Health Director Daniel
L. Seckinger, whose overall appro-
priation had been several reduced,
that his department needed the
funds for its own use.
Notified of New Plan.
In May the society received a
notification from DR.. Seckinger
that the home care project would
be taken over by the Health De-
partment staff on July and that
the society's services for the care
of public patients would no longer
be required. The notice was in
terpreted by the society as a move
to block transfer of the funds
from the Health Department to
the society.
Seeking a public hearing on the
matter, officials of the nurse So
ciety appealed to the District
Building. They say they were as
sured by Commissioner Camalier
at the time that there was no
plan to transfer the home nursing
project to the Health Department.
District budget officers also took
the view that the $25. 900 appro-
priation could not be used by the
Health Department. 1t was felt
that the intent of Congress was
clear-that the appropriation was
specifically intended for the nurse
society and could not be used for
other purposes.
The Health Department is
obligated, therefore, to turn over
the $25, 900 to the nurse society,
in the opinion of budget officials.
However, if the department re-
ferred no cases to the society, the

Soviet Press AssaiIs
kennan Over Protest
On Airp|ane Poster
His Name Is Omitted,
But Pruvdu BIusts U. S.
Leaders as 'Wormonqers'
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW. Aug. 1.-Pravda to-
day bitterly attacked United States
Ambassador George Kennan
without mentioning his name-for
protesting against Soviet poster
picturing Russian planes chasing
American aircraft.
In a lengthy editorial by it's
leading political writer, Y. Vikto-
rov, the Communist Party news
paper also accused long list of
American political leaders and
United States magazines and
newspapers of "warmongering."
The poster. displayed in Moscow
in connection with Soviet aviation
day last Sunday, referred to
clashes between United States and
Soviet planes in April, 1850, in the
Baltic area, in November, 1851, in
the Balkans, and the same month
in the Far East.
Mr.. Kennan protested against
the poster and refused to attend
the aviation day show.
DenOunces u. S. Protests.
Referring to the United States
protests, Pravda declared that
certain persons from American
official circles would like to dis
tract the attention of millions of
Americans from their aggressive
plans, from their criminal policy
of unleashing a new war.
For these purposes" the news
paper continued, "the warmongers
put into circulation by all means
lies, deceit and slander. Vain ef-
forts! BY their false agme these
gentlemen give themselves away
as enemies of peace and the Sc
|curity of peoples"
Pravda asserted the poster was
based on real facts-"In all these
cases, unasked guests were given
a needed lesson. It serves as one
more warning for those who would
try to violate the inviolability of
Soviet borders.
'"The Soviet people liked the
poster" it added, because "by ex-
amples taken from, life itself" it
showed how Soviet border guards
carry out their sacred duty in de-
fenSe of Soviet borders"
Posters Called Admission.
The State Department in Wash
Iington said last week Mr.. Kennan
had told the Russians the posters
were an admission that Soviet
fighters deliberately attacked the
American planes. Russia had de-
MED that charge in the past.
Two of the three incidents de-
lpicted on the posters involved

aboard, which the United States
charged were shot down by Rus.

Atom Engines
Are Ordered
Firm Gets Contract
To Develop Machines
For Nays Big Ships
By james {. Roper

The United States set out today
to develop an atomic engine to
power large naval vessels, such as
aircraft carriers.
The Atomic Energy Commission
gave the job to Westinghouse Elec-
tric Corp. The firm will work out
designs and do experimental work
at the Belts Atomic Plant near
Pittsburgh.
The United States thus hopes to
use the atom to power its war
machines in the air, on the sur
face and below the sea.
Westinghouse already has de-
signed an atomic engine to go into
the submarine Nautilus. This sub
marine, now under construction at
Groton. Conn, will be the worlds
first submarine run by atomic
power.
Developing Other Plants.
General Electric also is develop
ing an atomic power plant for SUBJ
marines and one for aircraft.
The Aces semiannual report
said yesterday that work on the
engine for aircraft gained mo-
mentum" during the last six
months. But it gave no details.
The Acc was equally chary to-
day about detailed plans for the
big-ship atomic engine. The of
fetal announcement said simply
that development work on a nu-
clear power plant suitable for pro-
pulsion of large naval vessels
such as aircraft carriers will be
conducted by Westinghouse"
"The work will be centered at
Belts Plant operated by the West
inghouse Atomic Power Division.
Other Westinghouse divisions and
widespread subcontractors will as
SiSt."
Larger Ships Suggested.
The Navy Classics any ship big
ger than a destroyer as a large
vessel" The wording of the
announcement thus suggested that
the new project aims for an en-
gine that might power cruisers
and transports. as well as aircraft
carriers.
Navy spokesmen were unable to
add any details to the brief Acc
announcement on the atomic
powered submarine.
However, it was recalled that
Navy Secretary Kimball told The
Star after the keel laying of the
super carrier Forrestal at Newport
News, Va, several weeks ago that
the service wants" the third fiat
top of that class to be atomic
powered.
The Forrestal is to be a flush
deck. &C, 0,000-ton vessel-the worlds
largest. It will be capable of
handling all atomic carrying
bombers now available or on the
drawing boards. A second carrier
of that type has been authorized
and Mr.. Kimball has laid down a
program for building at least 10
over the next decade.
