Navy Discouraged
In Digging for Stray
Shell in Backyard

ERICA. Va, June 10 R.-
After three days Of digging that
produced nothing except a yawn-
ing hole in the ground, the Navy
has yet to unearth the 1-ton
missile that landed in a back
yard here last Wednesday.
Workmen using a heavy power
shovel excavated a crater SO
feet wide and 80 feet deep be-
hind the cottage where the nom
explosive 16-inch shell fell. The
projectile apparently was still
deeper In the sandy soil.
Repeated cave-ins and the ten
dency Of the crater to I'LL with
water discouraged the Navy,
which indicated it might give up
the search as a bad job. A de-
cision was to be reached today.
The shell. fired from a gun at
the Dahlgren Naval Proving
Grounds, about rs miles from
this resort community. missed
its target area by several miles.
1t came down so yards from the
spot where a group. Of children
were playing. Naval officials said
the stray route taken by the
shell resulted from q misfire.

hill. a member Of the County

drafted the coming amendment
which bears his name and was
adopted by a five-to-one vote of
the board 10 months ago.
He said the amendment. set
ting the minimum lot size of
two acres, was a reduction from
the three-to-five acre lots pro-
posed for the rural area in a
$150.O00 planning study.
At one point, Judge Waddell
questioned the legality Of a fu-
ture cutoff date in the coming
amendment which enabled some
developers to file final plats for
subdivisions of less than two
acre lots by August. 1857. He
said 1t raised the question Of
whether the coming amendment
was really adopted because Of
the boards feeling that it was
necessary for protection Of pub
lie health and welfare.
At another point in the trial.
Judge Waddell said it seemed
to him that the real issue in
the case was whether the coming
amendment was enacted in q
proper way. He said there APP
peared to be little doubt that
the amendment was designed to
restrict as well as permit resi-.
dental development in the rural
area.
The court test was brought by
81 landowners who attacked
the amendment as confiscatory.

cheerfully carnal and kind

John Cheever's previous work
has offered little warning of
the ribald. antic flavor which
pervades The Wapshot

IN the New Yorker were more
meticulous than anything else,
certainly not exuding the good
natured earthiness of his first
novel. 1t has a rich cargo Of
eccentrics. but it is by no
means a satire, being too
drenched in the sweet hapless-
ness Of life.
The Wapshot Chronicle" is
mainly concerned with the
search Of the Wapshot BROTH

of cousin Honoras will, for
love. At an age when their
ancestors would have taken a
