The death of 14-year-old Al
bert M. Loman possibly was
caused by a boyish curiosity
about the sensation of hanging
by the neck, it was theorized.
today.
Albert was found last evening
by his mother, Mrs. Katharine
Loman, hanging by a plastic
clothesline in the attic of their
home, 1918 Mckinley place NV.
Mrs. Loman and Albert were
alone at the time. The husband
and father. William Loman, serv-
ice director of the Hecht Co.,
had left yesterday morning with
another son, Robert, %, for a
week of golf at Pinehurst, N. C.
Mother Finds Body in Attic
Albert, a brown haired, hazel
eyed youth known as Butch" to
his family and chums, decided
in the afternoon to pursue one
of his favorite hobbies, model
building. He asked his mother
where he might find an airplane
wing he had missed. She sug-
gested looking in the attic.
That was about 3 pm. An hour
later Mrs. Loman, taking a nap
in the living room. was awakened
by a neighbor boy asking for
Butch. The boy went to the sec
ond floor and called for his
friend, got no answer and left.
About pm, with dinner pre-
pared, Mrs. Loman began look
ing for Butch. She noticed the
door to the attic open and a Night
on. She went up and found him
hanging from a pole which had
been previously attached to the
rafters.
Mrs. Loman rushed for a knife
to cut down the body and was
frantically working over her son
when the telephone rang. 1t was
another neighbor asking for
Butch, popular with other boys.
Mrs. Loman urged him to call
the rescue squad. When the
squad arrived, it was too late.
Curiosity About Hanging

Army Protest Fails to Halt
NewVienno Sewage Plant

The Virginia State Water
Control Board has authorized
the town Of Vienna to go ahead
with construction of a new sew
age disposal plant on Accotink
Greek despite Army objections
that it might jeopardize Fort
Belvoir's water supply.
The board stipulated in its
decision that the new plant must
provide the same high degree
of treatment required of the
town of Fairfax, when it was
given permission to expand its
plant on Accotink Greek two
months ago.
According to the water board
the degree of treatment specified
is high enough to prevent any
harmful effects from the effluent
even if the stream runs COM
pletely dry.
Two Towns Upstream
Both the towns of Fairfax and
Vienna are upstream from Fort
Belvoir's water supply reservoir
on Accotink Creek. Fort Belvoir
reluctantly agreed not to oppose
expansion OF the Fairfax plant
because the present plant already
exceeds capacity at times.
But Fort Belvoir protested that
any further disposal facilities
including the new plant pro-
posed by the town of Vienna
would be a serious threat to the
bases water supply.
The new plant that the town
of Vienna proposes to build
would serve an area of the town
that does not drain naturally
toward the existing plant OH DIFF :
ficult Run.
In its communications with the
Army, the water board said it felt
the construction of a disposal
plant on Accotlnk would be safer
than construction of pumping
stations to carry sewage to the
Difficult Run plant.
Inadequate Plants Mentioned
1T is our feeling that the
danger to the Fort Belvoir water
supply from even a sloppily-
operated sewage treatment plant
lis far less than from made
quately designed and operated
Sewage pumping stations-which
now exist and bypass raw sewage
from time to time due to oper-
lating difficulties and failures. +"
said the water board.
The agency also noted that en-

The
Rambler
Spring Breaking
Out All Over
BY JACK JONAS

This is the time of year that
makes newcomers to Washing
ton marvel at the variety of
the city'S flowers.
Washington's big shows
among the spring flowers--the
single cherry blossoms and the
forsythia - are past their
prime.
But there will be enough of
the less-touted blooms of
other kinds to brighten this
city of parks for a long time.
Something of a neophyte
among the blossoms is the
unSpectacular pansy, growing
close to the ground and in
such an array of colorS that it
would be impossible to list
them all.
The park people have been
developing the pansy beds in
recent years. This year, 10000
plants have been set in the
display gardens near the
Fourteenth Street Bridge. Be-
fore their season ends in July,
there will have been 100000
blooms.
The pansies have been grad
ually replacing the more ex-
penSive Dutch tulips. Holland
is MOI longer donating the
tulips, and their cost is too
high for planting.
There still is a goodly dis
play of the Breeder, Cottage
and Darwin tulips, however,
at the Custis-Lee Mansion in
Arlington National Cemetery,
and some around the pansy
beds in West Potomac Park.
ANOTHER relative new
conner in park planting plans
is the narcissus family-the
daffodils and jounquilS, which
are easy to plant, grow and
maintain.
These have been around for
years, notably in Dumbarton
Oaks Park, MontroSe Park,
Franklin Park and Chevy
Chase Circle. But this year an
ambitious planting program
for the narcissi is beginning
to show results along Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway.
In the past week, beds all
along the parkway, from Taft
Bridge south, have been pro-
viding splashes of color for
work bound and home-going
motorists.
About due to replace the
fading single cherry blossoms
are the double oriental blooms
around Hams Point.
Also coming on are the
Towering crabapples. their
blossoms as delicate as the
cherries. These provide an
nual shows along Anacostia
Parkway between the Eleventh
Street and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. Bridges, in Franklin Park
and Lafayette Park, in Grant
Circle and on a short stretch
of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty
first streets NV.
The lilacs along Maine ave-
nue., south of the Independ-
ence Avenue Bridge, should be
in full splendor by the end of
this week.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-16

AZALEAS have been getting
more attention from the park
people, too. New groups of
bushes are due to blossom late
this month in MontroSe Park
and State Department Park,
adding to the established clus-
tiers along the Mount Vernon
Parkway and in Meridian Hill
and Franklin Parks.
The dogwood and the red
bud will soon be in their glory.
These also are along Mount
Vernon Parkway and in Rock
Creek Park.
Next month come the noun
tain laurel, the rhododen-
dronS, the Scotch broom and
some of the roses. The Caro-
lima rhododendronS will bloom
in Meridian Hill Park and the
native variety in Dumbarton
Oaks Park.
The big rose show, in the
West Potomac Park Rose Gar
den, will be here in early
June.
One of the most beautiful
of all the shows begins in June
at the Kenilworth Aquatic
Gardens. Its 40 pools, scat
tered over nearly nine acres,
contain more than 100000
Towering water plants.
900 Towering water plants.
The hardy ones begin flow
ering in mid-June, and the
tropical and night blooming
varieties in mid-July. There
are lilies, lotus and water iris
of many rare varieties.
1t takes on early riser to
view the aquatic display at
its best--one willing to be
waiting when the gates open
at 8 am. and the dew still is
on the lily, so to speak.
