The mystery continued today
as to the identity of a girls body
found in the Potomac River near
Brunswick, Md, on Saturday.
Maryland State police con-
tinued their efforts to determine
if it was Mary Elizabeth FellerS,
Is, of Beltsville, Md, one of two
teenagers who disappeared to-
gether on June /.
A sister of the missing girl,
Mrs. Louise Myers, Of Laurel,
made a tentative identification
of the body Sunday through the
color of nail polish and pierced
earlobes found on the body. The
girls father, Erwin Teller, could
not identify the body as that Of
his daughter, however.
FBI Studies Clues
The FBI today was called upon
by State police to study strands
of hair taken from the. body and
fro ma sweatr of Miss Filters and
also nail polish to see if they
match.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Myers said

Joney's Barren Life

A little girl whose parents
won't let her love them has found
pets who will.
Janey has lived in a home for
children for several years. Her
parents are separated. Her ia
Ither. who travels constantly,
writes to her about twice a year.
Janey's mother rarely visits, al
though she drops in for a few
minutes occasionally on her mo-
ltorcycle.
Janey adores dogs and horses.
and they love her. She was
given chance to ride through
Ia volunteer at the home, and
has been making inquiries since
about girls being jockeys. She
saved the rare checks her father
sends, and when she had built
her account to SIS she asked
the home if she could buy a
morse with the money.
SOlace Elsewhere
Since the horse is out of the
question, Janey devotes herself
ito other animals. any she can
find. Whenever the cat at the
home has kittens Janey adopts
one and cares for it.
Janey. who is IL, has been to
camp the past two years, and
seems to enjoy it immensely
Never sure of affection, she finds
it hard to believe the girls with
whom she lives at the home like
her. But at camp, where the
groups of children housed to-
gether are smaller. it's easier for
her to make friends. New friends
are a good experience for her.
Then, too, there is a chance
to swim every day. There is nc
pool at the home, and transpor-
tation to the public pool is diff
t1cult.
Life is so good at camp. There
is so much to do. the days just
slide. And Janey. who has to
be encouraged to eat the rest Of
the time, never seems to lack
an appetite at camp.
Trust in Animals

children, Janey's life has been

hackers appeared assured.
But Representative Rogers.
Democrat of Texas, has intro
Iduced a bill in Congress which
would repeal 1850 legislation
providing for preservation of the
house as part of the National
Capital Parks system.
Bill Requires Sale
Witnesses thus far signed up
to testify at Thursdays hearing
by a House Interior and InSular
Affairs Subcommittee on public
lands, except for Mr.. Rogers, all
are expected to oppose his bill,
which would direct the Govern
ment to sell the property and
Iget its money back.
AS presented the Rogers bill
would order the Interior Secre-
tary to sell the property at pub
lie sale to the highest responsible
bidder at a price not less than
the amount spent by the Govern
ment to acquire it.
If no satisfactory bid were re-
lceived, the Secretary would be
authorized to sell by negotiation.
Failing this, the property would
be disposed of by the General
Services Administration.
Would Contribute
Mr.. Rogers said yesterday,
however, that he would be will

his bill to require that the
property be sold to an organiza-

ton willing to take the respon-
sibility for its restoration.
He said that IF the people
here think it is worthwhile for
preservation" he would be will
ing to contribute to a fund to
buy it.
The Texan, a member of the
Interior Committee, indicated,
however he opposed the idea of
tapping the Federal treasury for
acquiring such a project when
people in other sections of the
country with similar purpose
are required to donate the land
or obtain it from another source.
He commended that the Gov
eminent paid $4,000 for the
Stone House property and has
more land than is needed for
the purpose. He said that, so
far as the record shows. it has
only architectural value and age.
Congress has put up funds for
acquisition of historic sites in the
past. The legislation for the
Old Stone House calls for its
preservation as one of the out
standing remaining examples of
18th Century architecture in the
city, and establishment of a mu-
scum there for relics and records
pertaining to early history of
Georgetown and Washington.
Among those scheduled to tes-
tify at Thursdays hearing are
representatives of the National
Park Service, which is expected
to stand by its position favoring
preservation of the Old Stone
House; the Georgetown Citizens
Association, the Progressive Cit
liens Association of Georgetown,
the National Society of Colonial
Danes of America in the Dis
trict and the National Trust for
Historic Preservation.

The
Rambler
Some Hackers
Are Charitable
By JACK JONAS

Celeste Weyl spent a few
bad moments in the hurly-
burly Washington rush the
other day, but emerged with
a warm feeling.
She was in hurry-during
the rush hour, naturally-to
get downtown for a meeting
at the Mayf1ower.
So she ran to the corner of
Connecticut and California
street to try to hail a cab.
Cabs were going by, all right,
but all of them were occupied.
When the light changed, a
cab stopped with a gentleman
passenger in the back seat.
Can you take me to the
Mayflower?" she asked the
hacker. I'm in an awful
hurry"
Sorry, lady," the cab driver
said. This is a rush job"
Miss Weyl looked so diSap-
pointed that the hacker re-
Tented.
"I'll take you by if you don't
mind getting out across the
street." he said.
Miss Weyl got in, and then
began searching through her
purse for change so she could
pay right away and not delay
the gentleman passenger, also
in a hurry. But in her own
rush, she'd forgotten her bill
fold.
She explained her predica-
ment, then added: "Just give
me your name or your num-
Der, and I'll send it to you"
mo, lady," he said, frown-
ing.
, "I do have my checkbook,"
she said, "if you'll take a
check"

Miss Weyl began wonder
ing how the accommodations
might be in District Jail when
she got sent there for defraud-
ing a hacker.
But :" she began once
more.
NO." the hacker said for
the third time. When you
get hold of your billfold again,

Cross"
Poem
A reader, intrigued by the
way that formal garden on
N street got started with a
poem, asks what poem it is
that people would be willing
to view on the wall of their
garden the rest of their
lives. The lady of the house
says she doesn't know the
name or the author, but re-
members it from her school
days. 1t goes like this:
Hail, guest, whOe'er thou
art.
IF friend, we greet thee,

IF stranger, that no long

quer thee"

Why do they call it Jones
Point?
The answer to that one has
been elusive, even since Col.

So far, no answer has
turned up, except that it's
been Jones Point at least
since 1871, and probably be-
fore that. Anybody got any
