.yUnited Fund
$6.6 Million Goal
Set for Campaign

The United Givers Fund Of
the National Capital area today
admitted 1870 agencies to men,
Ibership and set a $6.6 million
goal for its first one-package
campaign this fall.
Final action was taken by the
|UGF board of incorporators. cli-
making two months of intensive
study by the Funds admissions
committee.
The campaign goal represents
10 per cent more than the total
raised by all $50 agencies in their
last separate campaigns. But it
means an even higher return for
the agencies because they no
longer will have to pay campaign
costs out of their income.
E. K. Morris, president of the
Fund, speaking for the board,
called the goal very realistic. -
He said it moves more than half
way toward the $7.3 million
amount which all agencies would
require for fully adequate serv-
ice.
Response Found Enthusiastic
The list of 1870 includes 112
member agencies of the Com
munity Chest Federation and
Il8 separate agencies. In their
separate campaigns last year,
these agencies raised a total OF
I$6, 026,581
The admissions committee re-
port said it found IAN enthu-
siastic response in the commu-
nifty generally for UGF as the
way of solving the problem OF
multiple appeals for funds"
The committee, headed by
John T. Barnett, said it met "a
spirit of partnership among the
Igivers and the agencies and the
people served. The UGF is the
expression of the wishes of the
people as a much-needed i'm
provement in the community

President Eisenhower, using a
hospital bed table for a desk,
caught up with White House
work requiring his attention to-
day as his doctors issued their
most optimistic report on his
condition since his emergency
operation early last Saturday.
The President scheduled con-
ferences with Vice President
Nixon and Secretary of State
Dulles for Monday in his room
at Walter Reed Army Hospital.
His staff planned to give him
a week end free of any further
Government business, however,
unless some emergency develops
in the world.
The President was getting
along so well that one of the
team Of four surgeons in con-
slant attendance on him for the
past week-Dr. ISidore Ravdin,
professor Of surgery at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania School
Of Medicine-left today to spend
a long week end in Philadelphia.
He planned to return to Walter
Reed Tuesday.
Confers With Adams
During a 15-minute business
session this morning with Sher-
man Adams. his top assistant,
the President signed 81 docu-
ments, mostly routine. The most
newsworthy was a letter accept
ing the resignation of Samuel
M Brownell as commissioner of
education.
White House Press Secretary
James C.. Hagerty said the &C
tons taken by the President to-
day disposed of all the pending
business that will require his at
tention before next week.
This means, he said, that un-
less something unexpected comes
up Mr.. Eisenhower will have a
week end in this hospital free OF

Theory
Tested in Death
OF Girls
Laboratory Checks
On Drugs; Clothing
Bundle ScFutinized

A theory that two Maryland
teen-aged girls were poisoned or
|doped before their bodies were
dumped into water 10 miles
apart was being tested in a
Richmond laboratory today.
At the same time, police in
vestigating what they are now
convinced was the murder of
Shelby Jean Venable, is, of
North Laurel. and her chum,
Mary Elizabeth Fellers, IS, of
Beltsville, were checking cloth
ing which may have bearing on
the case. The girls identity has
been almost positively estab-
|liShed.
The Venable girls was found
Yesterday in shallow Catoctin
Greek near Wheatland. Va. 1t
was completely unclothed, like
that of Mary Elizabeth, found
last Saturday in a Potomac River
pool at the Brunswick Md
bridge.
Poison Theory Advanced
The extreme likelihood" that
poison was involved was raised
today by w. p. Frazier, acting
medical examiner of Loudoun
County. where the second body
was found. An examination of
the body revealed no skull frac-
lures. he said.
This morning Maryland State
police picked up at Upper Marl-
horo package of clothing which
Prince Georges Lit. Earl j. Huber
said was found "a week and a
half ago." Police would not
elaborate on the clothing, but it
appeared they intended 10 check
it with families of the dead
girls.
Police were also trying to run
down a blue car in which the
girls were believed to have left
Beltsville June /. Erwin Fellers,
Is, the brother Of Mary Eliza
beth, who believes he saw the
car pick up the girls, rode with
detectives today while they
searched the area for clues.
The disappearance of the girls
touched of a wide search lead
ing into one of the most battling
mysteries to confront police of
two States.
Removed All Identification
They were agreed on only one
thing-it was murder at the
hands of one who thoroughly
Icloaked his actions by stripping
the girls Of all identifying cloth
ing and personal affects, and
then dumping their bodies into
water miles apart.
Sterling NJ. Harrison. Com
monwealth's Attorney of Lou
doun County where the second
body was found yesterday, raised
the possibility the girls ran afoul
of tough racetrack characters.
1t was pointed out the bodies
were located in the general Vi
cinity of the Charles Town race
track, and that the roads in the
area, while of the beaten track,
would be known to one accus-
toned to going to the track.
Families Convinced
Although positive identifca-
ton of the bodies has been held
up pending completion of all
laboratory tests, police and
members of the families have
found enough physical evidence
to accept the fact that the

FAMOUS FABLES

PICNIC: Walter Hagen, one
Of the al-time greats Of golf,
did more than anyone else to inn
prove the social status Of the
golf professional.
Before Hagen came along, the
pro was treated as q servant,
and in many clubs had to use
the rear entrance. The fam
boyant Hagen, who spent his
money in punches and expected
to be treated accordingly, would
have none Of this.
While touring in Britain, he
was barred from the dining room
of a swank golf club. Hagen re-
turned In an hour in a chauf-
feured Rolls Royce, which came
to q stop at the front entrance.
While the embarrassed diners
inside capped, the Haig stepped
out. sat down on the running
board and proceeded TO partake
Of . picnic lunch served by the
chauffeur.
The next time, he was persona

If she had played a higher
heart, Miss Brash would have
enjoyed her usual good luck. The
fortunate distribution Of the
spade suit would have enabled
her to make game by leading q
small spade and f1nessing dunn
my's eight.
That would lose to the queen
but a second spade finesse would
bring in three tricks in the suit
and the defenders would not be
able to take more than four
tricks.
AS it was. Mr.. Dale held the
first trick. He led the queen of
hearts at trick two. dummy's
king was captured and. after
losing four hearts. Miss Brash
had no play for nine tricks.
Mrs. Fusty knew the seven of
hearts would win by using the
rule of eleven. My mail indi-
Gates that there is a widespread
interest in this device. It APP
pears that many players know
nothing about it. others know
little but do not know how to
apply it in actual play.
1t is true that the subject has
been overlooked in bridge litera-
ture. Possibly that is because
bridge writer's consider it such q
basic part of the game that they
assume their readers have knowl-

Migration Study
BY OAS Asked

A complete study Of the eco
nomic and social impact of post
war migration in the develop
ment of the Western Hemisphere
was suggested here yesterday by
Ambassador Fernando Lobo, rep
resentative Of Brazil on the
Council of the Organization Of
American States.
He addressed. the Conference
on the Migration of Peoples to
Latin America, sponsored by the
Institute of Ibero American
Studies. 1t was held at Mcmahon
Hall at Catholic University.
Ambassador Lobo suggested
that the facilities Of the GAS
might be used for such a study.
The governments of the prin-
cipal Latin-American immigra-
ton countries, such as Brazil,
Argentina and Venezuela are
trying to set up immigration on
a scientific basis, he said.
Latin american policies range
from severe restrictions to coun-
tries such as Venezuela which
officially intensifles immigration,
he declared. A third policy, he
said. is represented by Brazil
where more emphasis is on the
selection" of immigrants.
The two-day conference closed
yesterday. A panel of scholars
and specialists discussed topics
in the field of Ibero-American
relations.
The Rev. William j. Gibbons.
Sd, Loyola College, Baltimore,
declared the provision of ade-
quate religious service ta the
rapidly expanding population is
a most serious social problem.
He asserted Latin America des-
perately needs priests.
AdVLIl-AIIlerlcan growth will re-
main rapid for some years.
Father Gibbons declared. He
said it can provide comfortably
for many more people than it
now has and at higher levels of
living
DR.. Christopher Tietze of the
State Department said the re-
cent contribution of immigration
to population growth in Latin
America has been minor in most
'of the region.
While Argentina and Brazil are
the leading magnets for immi-
grants. DR.. Tietze asserted the
outstanding post-World War II
development has been the emer-
gence Of Venezula as a major
immigration country. Italy, Spain
