Former Undersecretary OF
State Sumner Welles is NOV
ing back to Washington. He
has just bought Representa-
tive Oliver Bottoms house at
1910 Twenty fourth street,
and will come to town tomor-
row to check on details Of his
purchase.
Oliver Bolton, the attractive
son Of Congressional Frances
Bolton Of Ohio, was serving
his second term in the House
when a heart attack caused
him to withdraw his name
from this November's race.
Mr.. Welles occupied the Sec
ond post in the State Depart
menti during the Roosevelt adj
ministration until his split
with Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull.
He was married at the time
to Mathilde Townsend, daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Richard Townsend,
whose fabulous Massachusetts,
avenue mansion is now the
Cosmos Club. The elegant res
idence was also the WelleS
home for q while. Following
his resignation from the de-
partment. he and his wife
spent much of their time at
their Oxon Hill Md estate
until her death a few years
ago.
He subsequently married
Baroness Won Jeszensky, the
former Harriette Post of New
York. Since then, they have
divided their time between
Palm Beach and her home in
Bernardsville, N. j.
They are coming back to
Washington apparently for no
other reason than Mr.. Welles
loves this city and wants to
live in it again.
While on the subject Of
houses, the Spalding Flannery
house on California street, with
the beautiful rose garden that
extends all the way back to
Tracy place, has been sold.
The former Virginia Sum-
merlin and her husband, James
Sullivan. bought it two weeks
ago and plan some extensive
remodeling and enlarging be-
fore they take possession.

dent Of the Riggs Bank Bob

year or so. Not even Secretary
Of State Foster Dulles.

Girls Death

Maryland State police today
began checking a new suspect in
the Staying of Mary Elizabeth
Fellers and Shelby Jean Venable,
who were buried side by side
yesterday.
State Detective Sergt. G. Earle
Newcomer said, however, he is
mot overly enthusiastic" about
the new suspect.
He said police also planned to
check out an anonymous letter
he received yesterday. He would
not elaborate.
Police Release Sailor
A sailor from the LAUREL
Beltsville area, who had dated
one of the two apparently
strangled teen-agers, was ques-
toned at length before being re-
leased by State police yesterday.
Police said a lie detector test
showed his alibi was valid. Since
he was absent without leave, he
was turned over to armed forces
police at Baltimore.
The nude body Of Mary Eliza
beth, IS, was found on June 9
on the Potomac River near
Brunswick, Nd, and the un-
clothed body Of Shelby Jean, is,
was discovered six days later
in the Catoctin Greek in Vir-
ginia, about 9 miles away. They
had disappeared on June /.
Their burial yesterday took
place in Fort Lincoln Cemetery
Parents Near Collapse
The parents of the. two girls
were near collapse during the
short ceremony held at a funeral
home in Riverdale. AS they
were instructed to leave for the
cemetery, both mothers sobbed,
Mrs. Venable cried out loudly,

Shelby -
The Rev. Francis A. Perry of
the First Baptist Church in
Laurel said he would be foolish
to try to furnish the crowd Of
about $50 persons with a reason
for what took place. He added
he felt confident the person who
committed the crime would be
caught and would receive "his
just reward"
He told friends of Shelby and
Mary Elizabeth that their lives
were richer for knowing the two
girls.
Death" he said, els simply a
doorway to another life. AL Of
us must take that STEP"

House Unit OKs Bill to Share
Cost on Rail Bridges in D. c.

Senate passed legislation to
provide more equitable division
of costs between the District
government and railroads for
Irailway-highway grade separa-
tons was approved with one
amendment today by a House
District subcommitte.
The measure was one Of three
bills relating to railroads in
dorsed by spokesman for the
lines and District Commissioners.
1t requires that If Federal high
way funds are insufficient to pay
the total grade separation costs
the remainder would be paid
one-half by the railroad COM
pany whose tracks are crossed
and one half by the District.
In no case would the railroads
share exceed more than 10 per
cent Of the total cost.
Stricken by the subcommittee
was a Senate provision under
which the railroad could not be
required to pay any part of the
costs unless benefits accrued to
the line.
The House Fiscal Subcommit-
tee headed by Representative
Smith Of Virginia also approved
a bill to provide Federal reim-
bursement to the District Of
$665,000 for part Of the city's
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-22

share Of the costs of a grade
separation in the vicinity of East
Capitol street.
The bill relieves the railroads
Of paying any of the costs, since
the project was held to be Of no
benefit to the railroads but would
serve competing transportation.
The underpass will connect city
trafiic via the East Capitol
Street Bridge with the Wash
gton-Annapolis freeway and
the Baltimore parkway.
Also approved by the Smith
Subcommittee was a Senate
passed bill to authorize a rail-
road siding to cross Second street
Sc. at street level in the vicinity
of / street. This spur would be
for rail delivery of newsprint
to the new building to be erected
by The Star.
The subcommittee was told
that diesel locomotives would be
used so that there would be no
electric wires overhead.

The proposal contemplated up
to 80 pupils at the outset. with
a maximum expansion to so
students.
Believed Incompatible
The coming board held how
ever that such an institution
would be incompatible with the
neighborhood. Members also
unanimously decided that the
neighborhood itself would derive
little If any benefits from the
school. About rs residents ap-
peared at the boards public
hearing last Wednesday to pro-
test against the petition.
In four other cases involving
proposed school use of property
now designated as residential,
the board:
Denied requests to establish
private vocational schools for
training in the plumbing and
heating trades at 900 Twenty
sixth street NV. and at $685.
27-29 I street NV, as well as a
request to set up a private ele-
mentary- kindergarten school at
5131 Broad Branch road NV.
Nursery Approved
Approved for one year only
the establishment of a nursery
and a fine arts school for about
IS children at 1929 Nineteenth
street NV.
The denial decisions stemmed
largely from strong neighbor-
hood opposition. The Foggy
Bottom Restoration Association
led the protests against the
vocational school proposals. Cit
liens of the Chevy Chase area
attacked the Broad Branch road
request.
The Foggy Bottom restorers
also tried to squelch a request
to continue operation of a pri-
vate parking lot at 932 Twenty
fifth street NV. The coming
board, however. permitted the
operations to 60 on for another
year largely because the immedi-
