of the Prince Georges County
police headed the search team
of 81 men, which included six
soldiers operating two mine de-
tectors. They are also making
a house-to house canvass in the
neighborhood seeking informa-
ton.
"We're looking for anything
we can find," Capt. Sweitzer
said.
There were indications, mean
time, that the murder weapon
still not found-may have been
a rifle described under District
law as a machine gun.
An autopsy last night by DR..
James I. Boyd and DR.. John T.
=, Maloney, county medical ex-
aminers, indicated Nancy Marie
had been shot IL times and
Michael Ann three times. In
addition, three .22-caliber slugs
which apparently missed were
found nearby.
The indication that II shots
had been fired led police fire.
arms experts to speculate that
the murder weapon was rifle
of a type illegal under District
law.
Rifle Probably Used
Such rifles, 1t. Sheldon r. Nc
Kee, in charge of the District
police firing range. said, are
semi-a u o m tic .22-caliber
weapons capable of firing II
rounds of "long" bullets or
25 rounds Of shorts" On such
rifles, he added, it is necessary
to press the trigger to fire each
shot, as opposed to fully auto
matte weapons which will con-
tinue firing as long as the trig-
ger is held down.
Accuracy of the shots also in
dicated that a rifle was the
weapon used. 1t. Mckee pointed
out that pistol shots are much
less accurate. particularly when
fired from a distance. Police
said there we're no powder burns
on the girls clothing, indicating
the shots were not fired from
close range.
The slugS and shell castings
recovered, it was learned, were
of the long" type.
Both girls wene shot from the
back as we'll as from the front.
This. police said, indicated that
they may have been trying toI
flee when the final shots were
fired.
But police did not rule out
other types of weapons. They,
were comparing slugS fired from
a revolver taken from a man in
Arlington, Va, yesterday, with
slugs from the bodies and found
near the scene.
Man Seized in Phone Booth
George A. Niche, %, arrested /
in a telephone booth in a drug
store at Wilson boulevard anS
North Rhodes street yesterday,
is being held under 1000 bond
on a concealed weapons charge
in Arlington. Police said he was
carrying a .22-caliber revolver
when he was arrested.
Police also have asked police
all over the country
to forward information on any
rimflle weaponsI
which might come to their Off
,ial attention in investigation of
crimes.
Yesterday morning, before the
double tragedy was discovered.
Chief Murray had issued a men,
orandum to his men calling at
tention to the fact that some
dealers here had been offering
l7-shot rifles for sale recently. i
He urged his men to survey
heir districts. and to warn deal
srs that such rifles could not be
sold except under special regula-
ions. District law defines as a
gun any weapon which
will fire more than IL rounds ,
without reloading. |,

He entered the Interrogation
room about 8 pm. and did not
emerge until about 4 am. today.
Police said the period from $50

The Yankees tied the score in

a curve over the plate for a third
strike on Mantle only to have
it called a ball. Then Mickey

Last nights Jimmy Cooper
Harold Smith fight at, Turner's
Arena is well worth a rematch.
In fact. Promoter Vince McMa-
hon could bring back the whole
program of six fights without
making the fans mad.
It's possible, though. that
Gene Smith, Harold's older
brother, may have to come back
against Cooper to salvage the
family honor. Gene beat Cooper
two out of three times, and
Harold's attempt to get into the
act was spoiled when Cooper
scored q knockout at 1:07 of the
ninth round. &
That ended the young Smiths
victory string of II bouts, and
1t was a slam m-bang affair all the
way. Harold appeared on the
verge of a knockout victory in
the first round and again in the
seventh, but the more expert
enced Cooper got away. Cooper
was behind on two of the three
official score cards when he
ended the fight.
Harold, young and strong.
swarmed all over Cooper in the
first round. backed him into a
corner and gave him an un-
merciful pounding. The thing
seemed over right then, as
Cooper barely was able to stag
ger 10 his corner. Cooper seemed
rusty after his several months
in the Army Che was on leave
from Fort Benning for this one),
but his experience kept him 60
ing against the anxious
Smith and he gradually started
q comeback.
They whaled the tar out of
each other the rest of the way,
and both were bleeding from
cuts around the nose and mouth
before very long. In the seventh.
Cooper was staggered early and
seemed on his way out, but he
came back before the end of the
round to hurt Smith. That was

the beginning of the end. A left
and a right to the head put
Smith down in the eighth, and
in the ninth a left to the middle
put him away for keeps.
Another fight of the same cal
iber was the welterweight semi
final of five rounds in which
Sonny Boy Williams earned a
slim edge over Archie Monroe.
Still another wild one was a
heavyweight prelim between
Warrenel Lester and Ray Tuck
er, a rematch of a Golden Gloves
final of several years ago. Lester
scored a technical knockout at
2:44 of the fourth.
In fact, there wasn't a dull
fight on the whole program. In
other four-round prelims Light
weight Paddy Bullock beat Tony
Gallagher. Middleweight Jack
Russell defeated Benny Deaton,
and Featherweight Paul Nicol
got a split decision over Tommy

Before the party Furgol played
18 holes at Columbia Country

bert will represent the United
States in the International Golf
Championships June 9-12.
Furgol matched par of 10

and he said he liked the course
because it was a good test of
golf.
Furgol has several exhibitions
and other parties connected with
National Golf Day scheduled be-
fore he plays at San Francisco's
Olympic Club June 4. That's
where the National Open will be
played az weeks later.
He will fly back to Washing

rooms more reminiscent of
Spain's Inqnisition period have
been transformed into airy

with the Spain of bright COL

The Archduke and his wife

duchess but 1t was such a

But in the case of the Span

venture, but rather a labor of
