Jewel Thefts
Washington Girl, l8,
Held With Suspect
In $20. 900 BureIories

Two detectives few to Miami
last night to question a suspect
in the theft of $4,000 worth Of
jewels from Northwest WASH
ington homes early this month.
The man and an 18-year-old
Washington girl were taken into
custody by Miami police Friday
night.
Capt. Aubrey Tolson, of the
General Assignment Squad, said
Miami police told him the 30
year-old suspect was carrying
several expensive watches and
rings when he was arrested. He
also had pawn tickets for $1,000,
listing jewelry valued at between
$4,000 and $4,000. He was car
rylng a gun, police said.
$4,000 in Gems Taken.
Capt. Tolson said description
Of some of the jewelry appears
to tally with that of gems stolen
June from the home of Milton
Kapneck, 4411 Sixteenth street
NV. A daylight burglar took
$4,000 worth of jewelry while
the Kapnecks were away from
home. It included three diamond
rings and four watches.
The detectives also plan to
question the suspect in connec-
ton with a $2,500 jewel theft
at the home of Mrs. Donald H.
Adams, 1901 Indian lane NV,
and a $1.277 theft at the home
of Charles H. BergaZin, 4845
Linnean avenue NV.
The last two thefts occurred
while the victims were on vaca-
ton. Capt. Tolson said this
might indicate that the Kapneck
burglary and the other two were
the jobs of different thieves.

The Senate Small Business

"This committee has one main
issue before it which can be

told reporters. THAT issue is:

I THE committee sincerely
hopes that a complete presenta-

There is a suspended fraud

agreement was possible without

Without closing the door on an

Rhee's arbitrary action freeing
$4,000 anti-Red war prisoners
this week.
The Reds demanded recapture
of the prisoners. They accused
the Allies of conniving with
South Korea in the escapes and
bluntly asked ''is the United Ma

Episcopal Must Rebuild Line
To Maintain Usual STRENGTH
By Dick SIOy
(Another in a SerieS.I

Episcopal High School keeps
pretty much to itself in its ath-
letic relations with other scho-
laStic teams of this area, but
when the MaroonS do venture
against their neighborS they
usually pick out the tougher
ones.
Episcopal belongs to the little
known Virginia Non-Military
League, which also includes Vir-
ginia Episcopal School of Lynch
burg, Woodberry Forest and St.
Christopher'S of Richmond, and
the bulk of its games are with
these opponents and military
academies. The schedule this
year also includes Wilson, Con-
zaga and George Washington
from this vicinity, with CIV the
only newcomer from last years
slate.
The rivalry with Woodberry
Forest goes back to 1901, form
ing one of the longest unbroken
high school series in the coun-
try. Episcopal won last years
meeting, 21-12, to take a one
game edge in the series, which
now stands at "a victories for
EHS, % for Woodberry and five
ties. The 1852 victory also
wrapped up the league cham
pionship for Episcopal for the
second straight year.
Football Popular Sport.
Needless to say, athletics-and
especially football-aren't re-
garded lightly at this spacious
boarding school in West Alex
andria. The enrolment is about
240 boys and 200 of them play
OH either the 120-pound. 1885,
pound junior varsity, "B" or
varsity squads.
The system is of immeasur-
able help to me-" says Lee Nc
Laughlin. now in his fifth year
as head coach. The other
coaches use my style and plays
and when the boys come up to
the varsity it doesn't take them
long to catch on to the sitter
brand of football"
Episcopal demonstrated last
season that it had one of the top
teams in these parts when it
posted a 6-2-1 record, one of the
losses coming at the hands of
Wilson's Interhigh champions

in the last two minutes Of the
game. If the Maroons turn up
weaker this time it probably will
be due to the graduation of too
many of last years good line
men.
Played With Packers.
Mclaughlin has the basketball
coach. Sid Walden, helping him
with the backfield and Jim Tay-
lor, baseball and wrestling coach,
handling the ends, but rebuilding
the line will be mostly his own
responsibility. He figures to be
qualified. Lee was a guard with
the Green Bay Packers for one
year after captaining the Uni
versity of Virginia team in 1910.
The line is being formed
around a couple of 190-pounders.
Guard Nelson Weston and End
Robert Wilson. a glue-fingered
receiver who will use his weight
a lot on defense. LinebackerS
Charlie Thompkins and Jay
Walker may see a great deal of
work on offense at end and
center, respectively.
Leading an experienced back
field, which Mclaughlin terms
his best asset, are two juniors,
Capt. Fletcher Carter and Full
back John Burgess. Carter, not
too fast for a halfback but
shifty and hard to bring down,
was an All-Prep. selection last
year and Burress has 100 pounds
Evening star., 1953-09-18


Lee Putney and Leland Law
son are battling for the quarter
back spot. Putney perhaps
having the edge with his good
passing and poise from the modi-
fed T formation. Jack Jones, up
from the second string, is
favored to take the other half
back post.
The half-dozen leading candi-
dates for the open line positions
bring down the average weight
of the forwards to about 1870,
considerably lighter than last
year but sufficient. In fact.
when including the backfield,
Mclaughlin has no complaints
about the size of the first team.
But the pounds fall off after
that" he says.
THE reserves are weak right
now. but I said the same thing
last year and they turned out to
be our strong point by the end
of the season."
