When they hurried to the
scene, police at first thought
both the boy and girl were dead.
Then they saw movement in the
girl, who was stretched on the
back seat clad in shorts and
blouse.
The car had been opened in
the meantime by Col. Riordan,
who had a duplicate set of
keys.
Young Riordan. clad in pa
jana bottoms, was found dead
on the front seat.
Chief Durrer said the hoses
had been extended from the
twin exhausts, one through a
front and the other into a rear
window. One hose ended in
the front seat and the other
in the rear.
The ignition key was turned
on but the motor was not run

added.

yesterday that she was missing.
Not long after that, he called
again to alter the report, in
dicating the girl may have gone
away. Meanwhile. young Rior-
dan was reported missing at
5 pm.
About 9 am. today. the girls
father again telephoned police
to renew his appeal for help,
saying he had discovered a
note. Not long after that, the
car was found.

outcome Of the election is very
high indeed.
This is not simply q matter
of the Labor Party's usual
criticism Of the Conservatives
as being too "subservient" to
American leadership in the At
lantic alliance. Thanks largely
to increasingly liberal policies
Of the Macmillan government
on questions involving the cold
war. Laborites have been forced
to take more and more radical
positions on q large number Of
specific poblems.
Labor Would Revamp Policy
Thus in its latest official
foreign policy platform the
Labor party plugs hard for the
idea Of q "neutralized zone"
in Central Europe. An area Of
military disengagement would
be created which would include
both East and West Germany
as well as Poland, Czechoslo-
vakia and Hungary. A critical
part Of this plan is of course
cutting Of West Germany out
Of the Western defense system
and the breaking of military
and economic ties that bind
the Federal Republic to the
West.
As for Britain itself, the
Labor Party proposes to re-
vamp the present policy on

A junket to surpass all jun
kets-a free trip to Hawaii for
the whole Senate-is getting
enthusiastic consideration from
some Senators.
The taxpayers would foot the
bill under terms of a resolution
drafted by Senate Republican
Leader Dirksen of Illinois. It
calls for an outlay Of 5000. 900
to cover members expenses on
the trip. Whether the Senators
would dare vote themselves
such a journey may be another

portedly told the committee in

Some $3.2 million was re-
quested by the Federal Avia-
ton Agency to construct a pipe
line from the airport along the
Potomac River to a point near
Key Bridge. There, the trunk
sewer would connect with Dis
trict systems funneling sewage
to Blue Plains for treatment.
The House, at the insistence
Of Representative Bow. Repub-
lican Of Ohio, slashed the re-
quest to $750,000 to build a
separate treatment plant at the

from this facility into Broad

Uncertainty Ends

Presidential nominations of
five District judges were con-
firmed unanimously today by
the Senate.
Approved to serve on the
District Court bench were
George L. Hart, jr.. and Chief
Municipal Court Judge Leonard
P. Walsh.
In seconds, the Senate also
cleared three appointees to the
Municipal Court bench-Mu-
nicipal Court Judge John
Lewis Smith. jr., to be chief
judge; Municipal Court Judge
Milton S. Kronheim, jr.. to
be re-appointed. and former
Maryland Representative De
Witt s. Hyde to be a new judge.
The action ended a years
uncertainty about the fate
particularly Of the Hart and
Kronheim judgeships.
Hart Serving in Recess
Judge Hart has been serving
on a recess appointment since
his first nomination in August,
1858, failed to clear the Senate
before adjournment. His second
nomination was held up in the
Judiciary Committee until yes
terday, when the District Com
mittee recommended Judge
Kronheim.
Judge Hart formerly headed
the Republican State Commit
tee for the District and Judge
Kronheim, a Democrat. origi-
nally was appointed by Presi-
dent Truman.
The Kronheim nomination by
President Eisenhower freed the
Hart nomination this session,
according to informed Capitol
sources.
Judge Walsh filled the va
cancy created last fall by the
death Of Chief Judge Bolitha j.
Laws Of District Court.
Judge Hart Is 81
Judge Smith will replace Judge
Walsh. This will be the first
experience on the bench for
Judge Hyde, a former Republic
can Congressman, who was de-
feated last fall by Representa-
tive Foley. Democrat Of Mary
land.
In contrast with the three
Municipal Court nominations,
which were sent to the Senate
only last Friday. Judge Harris
nomination first went 10 the
Senate last August. When Con-
gress adjourned without acting
on the Hart nomination, Pres
ident Eisenhower made a re-
cess appointment and. renon-
mated him early this year. His
service on the bench while
awaiting confirmation has been
widely praised.

Pace Is Slow
Morse Still Firm,
Next Week Seen
For Adjournment
BY J. A. OLEARY
Star stan Writer

Congress plowed ahead slowly
but surely today toward adj
journment. probably early next
week.
Senate Democratic Leader
johnson said today there is
prospect Of adjournment by
Saturday. Last night he said
1t was unlikely.
Although Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon, is not
blocking passage Of must"
legislation. he continues to use
the rule book to prevent the
Senate from taking any Of the
shortcuts it would normally
use to speed UP an adjourn
ment drive.
The Oregon maverick says
frankly he wants to prevent
Congress from seeming to run
out" on the arrival Of Premier
Khrushchev Tuesday, and from
leaving several major bills un-
passed.
Although Senator johnson is
playing down any talk of adj
journment Saturday. Senate
Republican Leader Dirksen still
thinks I'VE will get the boom
lowered this week."

Back District
Representation
Join Group Seeking
Constitutional
Amendment

rOur senators joined COM
munity leaders today in strong
support of q constitutional
amendment giving national
representation to the District
at hearings before q Senate
Judiciary subcommittee.
In backing the measure
which would give District resi-
dents the right to vote for
President, Vice President and
representatives in Congress
one Senator said he is "sympa-
thetic" to providing representa-
ton in the Senate as well as
the House.
Senator Heating, Repub-
lican Of New York and q CO.
sponsor of the measure, told
the subcommittee, however,
that hackers of the move feel
the amendment has greater
chance Of passage If repre-
sentation is limited to the
House.
5 Delegates to House
AS the proposed amendment
now reads the District would
get three delegates to the
House and their powers would
be determined by the Congress.
Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland, suggested in a state
ment that the subcommittee
consider writing into the
amendment voting powers for
the House delegates.
He said he left it to the
wisdom Of the subcommittee
members whether to write in
such voting powers or leave it
up to Congress to be sole judge
OF what powers the delegates
should have. However, he
urged serious thought" be
given to the matter by the
group.
Heating Pledges Support
Senator Heating promised to
support Senate representation
If the subcommittee recon-
mended it.
Recognizing that the session
was in its late stages, Senator
Heating said in a statement
that he knew the subcommit-
tee already had given the
amendment considerable study.
He said he hoped a subcom-
mittee recommendation could
be handed to the full Judiciary
Committee in time for consid-
Grafton this session.
Then the committee could
consider District suffrage along
with another amendment pro-
posed to kill poll taxes as a
bar to voting in five Southern
States where they remain. he
noted.
Il believe these two proposals
are related. since they both deal
with the removal of wholly un-
reasonable impediments to the
exercise Of voting rights" he
said. I'VE cannot justify the
denial Of the right Of a citizen
to vote because of his residence
in the District of Columbia any
more than we can justify the
denial of the right to vote be-
cause a citizen has failed to pay

In Call for
Settlement

TOKYO, Sept. o (AP)-Red
China pledged today she viii
respect the territories Of Bhu-
tan and Sikkim as Indian pro-
tectorates and offered to settle
her border disputes with India
through friendly negotiations.
At the same time, however,
the Peiping regime laid the
blame for the border trouble to
India and called for immediate
withdrawal of Indian troops
and administrators it said are
trespassing on Chinese soil in
Tibet.
Russia followed UP the Chi
nese offer almost Immediately
with a call for Red China to
settle their disputes "in the in
terests Of both countries"
The call came in a statement
by the official Soviet news
agency Tass, and was broad.
cast by radio Moscow.
Western Reports Hit
The statement said Western
reports Of incidents on the
Indian Chinese frontier were
calculated to stir up tension
before Soviet Premier Nikita s.
Khrushchev's visit to the United
States.
1t added: ut is hoped that
the Chinese and Indian govern
ments will settle the incidents
in the interests of both coun-
tries"
This was the first major Mos
COW statement on the dispute
between China and India.
The Peiping move came six
days before the opening in
New York Of a United Nations
General Assembly at which
India has proposed seating Of
Red China. Similar bids by
Communist friends of Red
China and neutrals for re-
placement Of Nationalist China
have failed year by year.

Similarly royalty is no stranger to the
Navy Yard. 1t has greeted Queen Wilhel-
nina and Prince Bernhard of the Neither
lands, Crown Princess Martha of Norway,
Mexicos former President Aleman, and a
score of other foreign leaders. Certainly
one of the most memorable days in the
Yards history occurred on June 9, 1899,
when King George vi and Queen Elizabeth
of England visited there as guests Of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt
Probably the most enthusiastic welcome
ever offered visitor to the Navy Yard was
given to air hero Charles A. Lindbergh.

June IL, 1927, and was met by wildly
