with our siren going
full blast. The voice on the telephone had
said Murder" and that's always exciting,
even to a couple of professional Homicide
men like Lieutenant Marty Walsh and me.
What added to the thrill was the fancy
address. There wasn't a home in that
neighborhood that had cost less than
fifty thousand.
We swung into the driveway on two
wheels and stopped. Marty got prelim.
mary report from one of the radio officers
already there and it sounded important
and improbable. Sharon Webster. age q,
was the victim. Completely dead. didn't
know her personally, but I'd seen her pic
ture on the society pages.
The house bulged with people. A big
party had been in progress. One of the
officers said, 1T was an announcement
party - to announce Miss Webster's en-
gagement to Paul Duncan"
Marty asked who Paul Duncan was, and
the cop said he worked for Sl,aron's old
man. So it was case of marrying the
boss's daughter. except that now some
body had eliminated the bride-to-be.
HERE was plenty of excitement in the
house, not unnatural, considering that
murder had been done. The tension ranged
from simple disbelief to complete hysteria.
Marty went straight to an older man,
standing near the fireplace. He looked as
though he'd been hit by club. That, I
knew. was George L. Webster. president of
George L. Webster. Inc, an important
real estate firm.
Webster was a widower about 54 years
of age. He was stocky, well-built man
with considerable gray in his hair and a lot
of grief in his eyes. In response to Marty's
questions he explained that while this was
an announcement party, the engagement
of his daughter to Paul Duncan wasn't
really surprise to any of the guests. They
were all friends, mostly employees of the
Webster firm. A fine time was being had by
all up to the moment when Sharon Web
ster's body had been found in her room
upstairs with the heart punctured by
bullet from a % High Standard. The radio
had been going full blast, so nobody had
heard the fatal shot. or, if they had -
they'd paid no attention to it.
HE TOOK US upstairs to view the body.
It lay on the floor halfway between the bed
and rosewood desk. One of the desk
drawers was open. MIR. Webster said, "She
was shot with her own gun. She kept it in
that drawer. It's there on the floor"
A quick examination indicated clearly
that it couldn't have been suicide; ques-
tons disclosed that many of the guests
knew that Miss Webster owned gun and
where she kept it. She owned it, explained
the stricken father, for two reasons: One

Red Cross Sets
SIS Million Goal
For March Drive
National Quote Called
Absolute Minimum
For Added Services

The American Red Cross today
announced a goal of $85 million
for its 1852 national fund cam
|paign. scheduled for March.
E. Roland Hartman, Red Cross
president, called the goal an "ab-
solute minimum" to support
greatly expanded services to the
armed forces, the Red Cross blood
program, disaster services and
other activities.
"At no time other than in the
midst OF a worldwide war has
there been greater or more i'm
|pelling human need for the
people to meet through their Red
Cross" Mr.. Hartman stated.
Double Staff for Military.
For our armed forces alone it
has been necessary to double the
Red Cross field staff serving mill
tary installations" he pointed out,
adding:
Gases handled by our personnel
at camps and hospitals increased
so per cent last year over the
year before, and our armed forces
continue to grow"
John s. Sinclair of New York,
president of the National Indus
trial Conference Board, will head
the national drive. 1t will run
from March l to 81.
Reports on Blood Program.
Mr.. Hartman reported that the
Red Cross blood, program pro-
vided more than million pints
of blood for wounded fighting men
last year, as well as 1.228, 500 pints
for civilians. The organization
now is operating 43 regional
blood centers-for both civilians
and military-and IL centers for
the armed forces exclusively.
The Red Cross head said the
fund goal actually must be over
subscribed in order to carry out
the Red Cross work of mercy.
"The Red Cross is an organiza-
ton made up of the people them
Selves" he declared. when il
acts, anywhere, it is the people
acting in behalf of those in need,
doing what each individual would
do if he were at the scene OF
disaster or at a soldiers side in
Korea. And it is the people who
make Red Cross work possible
through their volunteer efforts
and contributions"

WoodIey Tract
Sale Ends Fight
Over Rezoniinq
New Owners to Erect
Private Homes on Site
Zone PIeo Dropped

Plans to build apartments on a
portion of the old Woodley estate
have been abandoned. and private
homes will be erected there in
stead, it was revealed today.
The 17-acre tract, in the center
of an exclusive residential sec
tion, has been sold by the three
men who unSucceSSfully appealed
for a change in zoning laws SO
apartments could be erected.
The land was sold Saturday to
Landover Hills. Inc, which is rep
resented by Monroe Warren, a
Chevy Chase real estate developer.
The purchase price was not re-
vealed.
Monroe Warren, jr., said no
plans had been made as to the
type or price range of the homes
to be built, or when construction
would begin. The Warren firm,
which has Offices at 8155 Connec-
ticut avenue, Chevy Chase, Md,
has developed several sections un-
der the name of Meadowbrook,
Inc.
Had Planned Apartments.
The former owners of the land,
Edward C. Baltz, Thornton w.
Owen and Ned Bord, originally
asked that the II acres, on the
west side of Twenty-ninth street
between Cleveland and Cathedral
avenues NV, be rezoned so de
luxe apartments could be built.
When this was refused by the
Zoning Commission, a new recon-
ing request for strip 725 feet
long and $50 deep, just north of
Cleveland avenue, was made. This
also was rejected.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment,
however, to whom an appeal was
taken, ruled the rezoning bid in
valid with respect to the rear 100
feet. The board deferred a rul-
ing on the remaining portion of
the land.
To Request Withdrawal.
In a letter to Robert o. Clouser
director of planning for the Zon-
ing Commission, the attorney fol-
the former owners, James c
Wilkes, said:
I'm view of the continued
opposition of the owners of neigh
boring properties and of the ap-
parent impracticability of apart
ment development in the Woodley
tract my clients are with
drawing their appeal for a change
In coming of the Woodley tract. "
Mr.. Clouser said the request for
withdrawal of the appeal will be
taken up at the boards January
16 meeting. ..,.-.
Monroe Warren, jr., said he did
not think any zoning changes or
appeals would be necessary to
permit construction of detached
houses on the tract.

Senators and Representatives,
some old and some new, quietly
arrived at their Offices on Capitol
Hill today and made last-minute
preparations for an explosive ses-
sion of Congress convening at noon
tomorrow.
/ Republican Senator Seaton, sue
cessor to the late Senator Wherry
of Nebraska. led the contingent of
new -comers, which also includes
six Representatives appointed or
elected since Congress quit Octo-
ber 20.
They found their quarters and
the Capitol spick-and-span except
for a movie company which was
shooting desperately to finish a
film, "Mr. Congressman" before
it is ordered out of the Capitol in
favor of Congress. Tonight is the
deadline. -....
Returning Representatives
found that the House barber shop
and cafeteria had been refur-
buished during the recess. Main
tenance men also had been busy
painting and scrubbing and in
stalling new plumbing.
Senator Seaton commented on
his unfamiliar surroundings, but
said returning to Washington was
like returning home. He was born
here in 1909 when his father was
the private secretary to the late
Senator Bristow of Kansas. Sena-
tor Seaton. publisher of the Hast
Iings (Nebr.) Tribune, complained
that he promptly got lost in the
Capitol, and had missed his mid
morning coffee-but he liked his
temporary job. He does not expect
TO seek reelection when his in
term appointment expires at the
end of this year.
The dressed-up House reStau-
rant had plenty of customers
despite higher prices. Coffee this
session will cost 10 cents instead
of S. And the price of the special
luncheon moved from IS to 90
cents.
The new barber chairs failed to
attract any Congressman at mid
day today, but two Capitol en-
Iployes luxuriously got their hair
clipped and shoes Shined.
New representatives, all Repub-
licans, were: Clifford G. McIntire
of Maine. Joseph L. Carrigg and
Karl C. King of Pennsylvania;
Frank C. Osmers, jr.. of New Jer-
|sey: Paul F. Schenck of Ohio and
Robert D. Harrison of Nebraska.
