There was great difficulty in

This finally was accomplished
at Walter Reed. This hiterto

are at least IA distinct types.
They now are known as RI
viruses.
Symptoms caused by each are
quite similar. usually charac-

The maladies are commonly
designated as grippe, catarrhal
fever, virus pneumonia. acute

q palnCeCr'S towel IN her room at
the Ritz Apartments, 1881 Euclid
street NV, on June IL, 1852.
Slayer Found Insane
Charged with the murder was
Harry Clifford Porter, an airman
who had been hired by the resi-
dent manager, William F..
Hickey. to paint Miss Whitman's
apartment. He was Subse-
found to be insane and is
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
A negligence suit against Gore
Properties. Inc, owner of the
Ritz; Mr.. Hickey, and the Amer
lean Security and Trust Co.,
rental agent, had been decided
liz favor of the defendant by Dis
trict Judge Charles F. McLaugh-
lin who directed a verdict with
out allowing the case to go to the
jury.
But today the appellate court,
while finding no grounds upon
which the trust company may be
liable. reinstated the suit against
Gore Properties and Hickey.
The court pointed that there
had been no investigation of Por-
ter's background; that he was
given a key to Miss Whitman's
apartment and that he was left
without supervision.
Responsibility Is Stressed
OF this the appellate court de-
clared:
ITO say that appelees (the
defendants) may fail to make
even the most cursory inquiry
concerning Porter and then be
allowed to excuse themselves in
their ignorance is to say that
their recklessness will be exalted.

ConfereestOGei
Bill
House-Voted Grunts
Face Senate Test
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS

The Water Pollution Control
bill. designed to help clean the
Nations water supply, including
the Potomac River Basin. today
was on its way to a House-Sen-
ate conference.
The measure was passed late
yesterday by the House after eff
forts to add four amendments
had been beaten.
The joint conference Of the two
houses will be devoted to recon-
Cling the differences between the
House measure and an equiva-
lent bill passed last year by the
Senate.
Both bills agree on the neui
for Federal grants to help States
plan construction of pollution
abatement facilities. The major
difference between the two is
that the House bill would author
ize Federal grants of $50 million
a year for 10 years to construct
waste treatment plants. The
Senate measure has no such pro-
vision.
The measure would extend
the present law, which expires
June 80, and carries no such out
right grants.
Principal fight on the House
floor yesterday was wageG. but
lost. by Republican leaders to
knock out the construction pro.
viso, known as Section 6.
Aid to Area
Substantial aid would be avail
able under the House bill to the
Washington Metropolitan Area
and the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River, according
to debate on the floor and state
ments later by officials con-
cerned.

said he would be given small
amounts of liquids by mouth rc-
riodically throughout the day.
The doctors plan to continue
supplemental intravenous feed
ing, however. To the glucose
the President had been getting
intravenously, they added amino
acids to supply protein to his
body.
The Presidents only business
today was his brief talk with
West German Chancellor Aden-
auer and Secretary of State Dull
les. That conference brought
no "untoward physical reaction"
his doctors reported.
Nose Tube Removed

fort, he had gone "a hours early

compression or drainage tube
that had been running through
his nose to his stomach ever
since his operation.
Despite Mr.. Eisenhower's re-
covery progress, White House
Press Secretary James c. Hager-
ty firmly ruled out any political
questions for him while he is in
the hospital.
Mr.. Hagerty was asked today
if he would submit to the Presi-
dent question as to whether
he thought it necessary to re-
consider his decision to run
again.
Mr.. Hagerty said he certainly
would not submit such a ques-
ton while Mr.. Eisenhower is in

ID Girls Body
Found in Creek
In Virginia
Deaths Are Linked
To Maryland Pair
Missing Is Dogs

The nude body Of young girl
who, investigators said, might be
the second Of two who disap-
peared from Maryland homes
June /, was found in shallow
Catoctin Creek today about 10
miles from the spot where an
other girls body was found last
Saturday.
Pending positive identification,
authorities started working on
the theory that it might be
Shelby Jean Venable, 16, of
North Laurel.
Shelby Jean disappeared at
the same time as l8-year -old
Mary Elizabeth Fellers of Belts
vile. A nude body found Satur-
day near the Potomac River
bridge at Brunswick was believed
that of Mary Elizabeth.
In 6 Inches of Water
A fisherman, Elmer Kits of
Hamilton, Va, discovered the
second body about 10:45 am. to-
day in Loudoun County, Va.
The girl, described as between
is and 10 years old, was lying
face down in six inches of water.
Acting Medical Examiner w.
T. Frazer of Loudoun County
said the swollen and discolored
body had been in the water 10
days or two weeks. That would
put the time of the immersion
approximately the same as that
Of the two girls disappearance.
From the position where the
body was found today it APP
peared unlikely that both girls
could have drowned in the creek
and one of bodies floated to the
point where it was found near
Brunswick.
Foul Play Theory
The creek empties into the
river at a point below Bruins
wick, or downstream from where
the body was found in the Po-
tomac.
The improbability that one of
the bodies floated away from a
point where both girls had been
in the water added weight to
a theory they had been victims
of foul play.

on the controversial measure.
The Texas Senator told re-

Senator johnson is not a

Committee which tentatively APP
proved administration requests
for defense support funds for
Asia. the Near East and Africa.
The committee also approved
with one small amendment the
Houses action cutting OF aid to
Yugoslavia unless President Eli
senhower makes a decision to
continue it.
In Line With Requests
The Senate committees APP
proval of $170 million for sup
port to the Near East and Africa
and 1882 million in funds for
Asia were both in line with adj
ministration requests and House
action.
The House last week cut about
$1.1 billion from the SAT- billion
the administration had asked for
foreign aid and military assist
ance. Efforts are being made
to restore at least part of the cut
in the Senate.
A House amendment would
eliminate aid to Marshall Tito
unless the President makes an
affirmative decision to continue
it. Mr.. Eisenhower would be
required to find that Yugoslavia
lis not under Soviet domination
and that the aid is in the in
terests of the United States.
House Version Amended
The Senate committee amended
the House version to give the
President 80 days in which to
make UP his mind on whether
Tito should be given aid.
