Washington police expected to
solve at least Is purse snatch
ings here over the last six
months as a result of the arrest
last night of 16-year-old boy
who apparently preyed on mid
dle-aged and elderly women.
The colored youngster has ad-
mitted eight cases which have
been confirmed and has told
police about a score of others
including six in the Zoo area,
1t. Philip L. Abel OF No. 13
precinct predicted his arrest
would clear up Is or more purse
snatchings when the youths
statements are checked out. The
boy has a record for house.
breaking and petty larceny and
is a fugitive from the Industrial
Home School, police reported.
The boys method of attack,
police believe. was to rush at
his victims with his first balled
up. Several were struck and
knocked down.
One of his suspected victims,
Ruth Forbes. go, Of the 1000
block of Irving street NV, an
employe at the Smithsonian In
stitution, was knocked down
January Is in the 1900 block of
Wyoming avenue NV. and suf-
fered a broken left arm as well
as an $l8 loss. AS a result, po-
lice said, the woman retired and
moved to New York.
The boys arrest resulted from
intensified investigation follow
ing an incident last Sunday
when Vivian Rogers. AZ, of the

her purse snatched near her
home and $3.50 stolen.

The stand was taken at an
annual meeting in the Burlington

sent to the resolutions committee

would conflict with the sense of
this resolution.
The Capitol, it was asserted,

the most beautiful buildings in
the country"
The resolution said the central

site. but the responsibility is
that of GSA.
Dozen Sites Surveyed
The director confirmed that
the gold mine site near Great
Falls is one of a dozen that
have been surveyed.
Representative Wickersham,
Democrat Of Oklahoma. and his
wife formerly owned the tract
on which the old gold mine is
located. But on March IA they
sold it to j. Robert S. Swanson
of Birmingham. Mich, president
of Swanson Associates, Inc, a
planning and architectural firm.
Agents Of this firm have
opened preliminary negotiations
with GSA with a view to selling
the property to the Federal Gov
eminent. But GSA said until
the project becomes official it
is powerless to act.
Montgomery County land rec
ords show that Mr.. Swanson
paid 27,500 for 1865 acres or
$1,170 an acre to the Wicker
shamS. This was revealed by
the transfer tax stamps on the
papers. dated March IA.
Purchased Last Year
Representative Wickers h a m
and his wife bought 376 acres
of the property May 81, 1855,
and the transfer tax stamps show
they paid at least $242, 500, or
about $3.50 an acre for it.
Mr.. Wickersham sold part of
the tract. about 20 acres, to the
Girl Scouts of America for camp
purposes for about $500 an
acre.
The Oklahoma Representative,
who engages in the real estate
business when Congress is not
in session, said he purchased the
tract for subdivision develop
ment. He said he borrowed funds
to do this. but had no inten-
ton of dickering with the Gov
ernment for its sale.

The
Rambler
Alexandria Airs
Some HeirIooms
BY JACK JONAS

Over in Alexandria people
have been finding out a lot
about themselves and about
old family portraits during the
past month.
This has come about through
the Our Town" exhibit at
Gadsby's Tavern on Royal
street. The Alexandria Asso-
citation has brought together
more than 200 portraits of
people associated with the city
from 1749 to 1865. All were
painted from life.
It's been something like
dragging grandfather's picture
down from the attic when
friends drop in, and then
hearing things that grand
father never let on about.
We've heard from several
people that our program has
given them facts about their
families they didn't know be-
FORE" Mrs. Jay Walk, exhibit
ton chairman, said.
The program is an ambitious
1l4-page booklet, with many
of the portraits reproduced in
black and white, and with
gossipy tidbits about the peo-
pie represented in the exhibit.

The site of an old gold mine
near Great Falls, Md, is one of
several under consideration for
the new Geological Survey build
ing. General Service Administra-
ton officials said today.
But GSA was careful to point
out this is only one of a dozen
sites surveyed. In order to get
an approximation of land values,
several potential sites have been
investigated for more than a
year so GSA can propose a
definite prospectus.
Because the proposal is pend
ling before the Senate and House
Public Works Committees, there
lis still no definite project, per-
hitting money to be spent.
Lease Purchase Proposed
GSA has proposed that a $22.-
260 900 Geological Survey build
ing. with 772,000 square feet
gross floor area, be constructed
under lease purchase. with the
Government paying rent until
the contractor is paid back over
a term of years. The Govern
ment would first negotiate with
a contractor to erect the build
ing.
But approval of the two con-
gressional committees is neces-
sary before GSA can negotiate,
officials pointed out.
Thomas B. Nolan, director of
the Geological Survey, said he
knows of no definite agreement
on a particular site. Because a
! neurological laboratory will be
part of the project. he explained.
it must be located near a river,
canal or other good source of
water.
Mr.. Nolan said the Survey has
been trying to get a new build
ing for 10 years and has held
periodic discussions with GSA.
He said his agency has set up
some general requirements for a

This is the firSt time in its
history that the museum staff of

Miss Helen r. Purtle, assistant
Curator of the museum, declared
the exhibits are of "such profess

If the Senate should pass the
measure which was not amended
by the Senate groups it will go
to the White House for the Presi-
dents signature.
The measure would transfer
from the Interior Department to
the Commerce Department the
job of building the Potomac
River span from Alexandria to
Maryland's shore.
Cost Seen S13.S Million
The transfer bill had been re-
Iquested by Chairman Hayden of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee' SO that funds for build
ing the bridge could be inserted
in the annual appropriation bill
for the Commerce Departments
Bureau of Public Roads. This
Bureau already is planning the
river crossing under an arrange
lment with the Interior Depart
Iment's National Park Service.
Meantime, it was learned the
budget officer of the Commerce
Department, at the request of a
Senate Appropriations subcom-
Imittee, has submitted to the
Bureau of the Budget an esti-
mate of about $13.8 million for
construction of the bridge.
He indicated that the Budget
Bureau probably will send the
estimate to Congress soon so that
| the money can be inserted in
the Commerce Department bill
for the Bureau of Public Roads
to use.
This construction money had
been stricken from an appropria-
ton bill by the House because
the bill transferring jurisdic-
| ton from Interior to the Com
merce Department was pending.
Bill Strongly Supported
The subcommittee of the Sem

MOST EXCITING for those
running the exhibition is that
many of the portraits which
came in a month ago by I'M
known artists may be definitely
tied up with artists before it's
over.
We've had several experts
come in to give us help in
identifying the artists Mrs.
Wall said. I'VE hope there will
be more experts who will want
to take a look at them.
They've uncovered a virtual
bevy of portraits which may be
attributed to Charles Bird
King, who was a favorite
around Washington for a long
time. The Smithsonian has
a collection of his studies of
American Indians.
For example, the portraits OF
DR.. and Mrs. Orlando Fairfax,
listed in the program as
painted by unknown artists,
now are being considered by
the experts as the works of
King. DR.. Fairfax, a phySi-
clan, was the son of Thomas,
ninth Lord Fairfax, and lived
on Cameron street.
The portrait of John Hooff,
also in the program as by an
unknown artist, may be
another King, the experts
think. Hooff--a family name of
long standing in Alexandria
was in the banking business
in that city for 40 years.
Another which may be at
tributed to King is a portrait
of Gen. John Mason, son of
George Mason of Gunston
Hall. Gen. and Mrs. Mason
were famed for their enter
tanning at their home on
Analostan Island-now Theo-
dore Roosevelt Island-where
such notables as Louis PHILIPPE
and the Marquis de Lafayette
were guests.

Only a handful of citizens took
advantage of Hospital Day yes
