Virginia State police searched
today for a man who broke into
Ia home at Woodbridge and
caused a gun wound in the arm
of a mother of five who des-
Iperately fought him off last
night.
Mrs. Joyce Darr, "a, was in
satisfactory condition at Alex

from the ordeal that began a
week ago when a big prowIer
began almost nightly attempts
to enter the home.
Last night he made it while
Mrs. Darr's husband, Harry E.
Darr, jr.. rs, was working as a
mechanic for Capital Airlines.
Safeguards Set Up
Alarmed by the repeated
entry attempts in the heavily
wooded Featherstone section,
Mr.. Darr had obtained a .32-
caliber revolver for his wife.
and installed a chain on the
front door of their home at lot
Walnut street.
A plan was evolved whereby
Mrs. Darr would open the door
on the chain and display the
revolver with the belief the
man would go away. The gun
had been placed on the televi-
SIGN set near the front door.
Mr.. Darr showed his wife how
to bar the kitchen door with a
chair under the knob. Then he
went to his job on the 4 pm.
to midnight shift.
Tears of Door Chain
About $3.50 pm. the feared
knock came. Mrs. Darr took
the gun to the door, and eau
tiously opened it. Slamming
his heavy shoulder against it.,
the man tore the chain from
the door frame and burst in,
almost upsetting Mrs. Darr.
The man said: Il know you,
Joyce, but you don't know me. "

Pope Cancels Ceremony
After I rial of Bishop

VATICAN CITY, Mar. s Up.
Pope Plus XII in an I'M
precedented action today sus-
pended the celebration Of his
coronation anniversary in
bitterness. sadness and out
rage" over the conviction of a
bishop on charges of defaming
an Italian couple.
The celebration was to have
been held on March IL, the 10Th
anniversary of the pontiff's cor
onation as head of the Roman
Catholic Church.
Because so many requests to
attend the ceremony had been
received, the ceremony was to
have been held in st. Peters
Basilica instead of in the Sistine
Chapel, as in the past.
Resentment Mounts
The pontiff's dramatic &C
ton was the latest development
in mounting resentment in
Rome Catholic circles.
The Vatican's brief commu-
nique announcing the Pontiff's
decision said he had received
expressions Of grief and sorrow
from many parts Of the world.
These expressed sorrow over
a Florence courts verdict Sat-
urday against the Bishop Of
Prato. Pietro Fiordelli. He was
convicted on a defamation
charge brought by a Prato gro
Ger who professed himself an
aethist and a former Commu-

Harris to Call on Senators
To Explain in FEC Probe

Impeoched
BY LEE M. COIN
and ROBERT X. WALSH
star star Writers

House Investigators said to-
day about a half dozen Sena-
tors "are going to have to ex-
plain" their activities in the
battle for a Miami television
channel.
Chairman Harris of the Leg
islative Oversight Subcommit-
tee also announced he will in.
troduce a resolution to i'm
peach Federal Communications
Commissioner Richard A. Mack
for his role in the case. The
subcommittee awaited word Of
Mr.. Mack's custer as the COM
missioner conferred with his
lawyers about resigning.
Mr.. Harris declared tina t.
certain Senators are going to
have to come before this COM
mittee to explain" their alleged
attempts to influence the fees
decision.
He was commenting on testi-
mony Bye. T. Baker, president
of National Airlines, who asked
the subcommittee what it in
tends to do" about reports that
several Senators worked in be-
half of his opponent in the TV
contest.
Supplies Names
Mr.. Baker listed Democratic
Senators Holland and SmatherS
of Florida, Magnuson of WASH
Iington, Kefauver of Tennessee,
and Monroney of Oklahoma.
Republican Senators Payne OF
Maine and Schoeppel of Kan
sas, and Representative Celler.
Democrat, of New York. He
charged these members of Con-
gress tried to sway the FEC to
vote to award the Miami TV
license to Col. A. Frank Katz-
lentine, a Miami Beach broad
caster.
"Are they immune or is it
impolitic to call the members
of the Senate and an officer Of
the court before you to explain
their conduct fully and in de-
tail?" Mr.. Baker asked. His
reference to an officer of the
court may have meant Paul A.
Porter. a lawyer for Col. Kat
zentine.
Public Service Television,
Inc, a subsidiary of National
AirlineS, won Channel 10 in
Miami last year when the FEC

Baker Accuses Katzentine
Mr.. Baker denied any wrong
doing and in turn charged Col.
Katzentine with trying to exert
improper influence on the FEC.
Visibly angry at the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Bakers statement,
Chairman Harris told him:

Soviet Envoy
And President
Talk Half Hour
Dulles Also Present;
Only Comment Is
Friendly, Useful
BY GARRETT d. HORNER
Star stan Writer

BY GARRETT ID. HORNER
Star star Writer
Soviet Ambassador Mikhail
A. MenShikov had what he
called a friendly and useful"
half-hour talk with President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Dulles at the White House
today. j..
The Soviet Ambassador in
Dictated hope that the meeting
might bring the United States
and Russia a step closer to a
summit conference.
But. possibly picking a cue
from the Presidents last letter
to Soviet Premier Bulganin. Mr..
Menshikov refused to tell news
men anything at all about the
substance of today's talk.
The White House also kept
mum.
1t had been anticipated that
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr.. Dulles
would make known to Mr..
Menshikov their reaction to a
Soviet note Saturday proposing
an early meeting of foreign
ministers to determine the
agenda, time, place and particle
pants of a summit conference.
U. S. Not Satisfied
American officials were under
stood to be dissatisfied with the
Soviet suggestion because it
did not go far enough towart
clearing the way for work by
the foreign ministers that would
give hope of agreements being
reached at the summit.
Reporters pounded Mr.. Men,
shikov, as he left the White
House, with questions about
whether he had discussed the
latest Soviet proposal with the
President and Mr.. Dulles, or
whether there was any talk at
all about a possible summit
conference.
Smiling, the A m b a ssa dor
lodged all such questions by
saying:
Regarding the questions you
put before me, the answers have
not yet ripened for publica-
ton"
This attitude may actually
indicate a step forward in pre-
liminary negotiations looking
toward a summit conference.
In his February IS letter to
Soviet Premier Bulganin. Mr..
Eisenhower suggested that I'VE
must find some ways other than
mere prolongation of repetitive
public debate" if progress is to
be made toward better rela-
tons. He added that the i'm
passe in regard to a summit
meeting might be broken by
less formal and less publicized
contacts"
Friendly" Talk With u. S.
Neither Russia nor tn e
United States has yet made
public the latest Soviet propo-
sal handed to American AM
bassador Llewellyn E. Thomp-
son in Moscow Saturday.
Mr.. Menshikov, pressed as
to whether he thought today's
talk brought agreement for a
summit conference any closer,
would go no further than to
say that I'VE all believe that
any steps taken bring us nearer
to a summit meeting"
The ambassador told news
men he had friendly" pleas
ant" and II believe a very
useful conversation with the
President and Mr.. Dulles"
He added that he found the
President looking healthy and
very cheerful" Mr.. Menshikov
went on to describe Mr.. Eisen-
hover as frank, straightfor-
ward and open hearted - the
qualities we Russians like"
Then, insisting he had said
enough for today" he broke
away from questioning report
ers. with the smiling remark
that he always liked to see
them and hoped to see them
again soon.

District Told
To Go Ahead
With Bridge
Constitution Ave.
Project Pushed by
House Committee
BY ALEX r.. PRESTON
Star STAN Writer

Star STAN Writer
The District Commissioners
today were given orders to pro-
coed at full speed with the con-
struction of a Constitution ave-
nue. bridge over the Potomac
River at an executive meeting
of the House District Commit
tee.
A resolution directing the
Commissioners to proceed
forthwith" and requesting the
President to facilitate imme-
diately" the clearance of bridge
plans by Federal agencies was
adopted by the committee.
Committee Chairman McMil-
Ian said the resolution was the
outgrowth of expressions last
week by Robert E. Mclaughlin,
president of the Board of Com
missionerS. Mr.. Mclaughlin
said he felt the Commissioners
needed instructions from Con-
gress before proceeding with
the span.
Delaying Plan Killed
BY way of further instruc-
tons to the Commissioners, the
committee killed a delaying
proposal by Senator O'Maho-
ney. Democrat of Wyoming and
Representative Saylor, Repub-
lican of Pennsylvania. They
introduced resolutions last
month which would have de-
clared it to be the sense of Con-
gress that work on the Consti-
tuition avenue bridge should be
halted until the House has
acted on Senator OMahoney's
Senate-approved bill for a tun-
mel crossing the river, or until
NOtlSI COS dOJOuIIlS.
Countering this measure two
days later was Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia. His resolution would
have declared the sense of Con-
gress to be just the opposite
that the work should proceed.
AS a result of the conflicting
resolutions, the Commissioners
found themselves in somewhat
of a quandry and more or less
divided on what course to
follow.
Last week. when the Commits
sioners presented their State
of-tlle-District message to the
joint House Senate District
Committees, Mr.. Mclaughlin
asked for a clear-cut expression
from Congress.
Col. A. C. yelling and David
KarTick, the other two Com
missionerS, said they felt their
authority to proceed already
was well established under a
1916 authorization.
Opinions Conflict
Mr.. Broyhill has commended
all along that when the House
last year defeated his amended
bill providing for a tunnel
crossing it had. in effect. settled
the issue which Senator
OMahoney contends has not
been settled.
Today's action was designed
to clinch the matter. The
ON a honey-Sayor resolution
directing that the work be held
up was tabled by the committee
and this resolution, sponsored
by Representative O'Hare, Re-
publican of Minnesota, was
adopted:
at is the sense of the COM
mittee that the Commissioners
proceed forthwith with the
construction nof the Constitu-
ton avenue bridge project. The
committee further requests the
President of the United States
to facilitate i'm m e d "a tely
through the Federal Govern
ment any clearances bearing
upon the initiation of the
bridge project construction"
Meanwhile, the Commission
ers were summoned to reappear
before the House District Com
mittee next Monday to discuss
the message they presented to
the joint committee last Mon
day.

Safeguards For

pledged that the funds would be
spent in accordance with the Su-
