Island girl accidentally shot
and wounded herself at her ex-
pensive home Thursday night

ship with a Negro 10 years

The girl, Anne Verlot, daugh-
ter of a physician in the exclu-

Her purported friend was

a minor.
Authorities gave this account:
Chandler got the unlisted
Verlot phone number from a
friend, called the girl and in
PRODUCED himself. They began
seeing each other and on occa-
sion the girl accompanied him

Late Thursday, Chandler

see her at her home. where
she was alone. She rejected
his request but he appeared
anyway and induced the girl
to let him in the house.
Chandler had several drinks
and was still in the house when
the girls parents, DR.. and Mrs.
Max Verlot, came home.
Chandler saw them coming
and fled by breaking a rear
bedroom window and forcing
the screen.
In the meantime, the girl
ran to a closet, took out a %
.caliber rifle and darted into a
bathroom. She slipped and fell.
The gun dropped and dis
charged, sending a bullet into
her chest
At first she insisted she had
seized the gun in an effort to,
drive away an intruder, but
later acknowledged it was a
coverup for Chandler.
Police said Chandler is mar
ried and has a 3-year -old
daughter.

D. c. Population
Rise Outstrips
Hospital Space

The enormous" increase in
the Washington area popula-
ton has outstripped the num-
Der of hospital beds available
here. DR.. w. Leroy Dunn, pres
ident Of the District of CO.
lumbia Medical Society, de-
clared yesterday.
The increase of the number
of hospital beds here in recent
years has been relatively small,
DR.. Dunn said in an interview
with a panel of newsmen on
the "City Side" show on sta
ton WTOP-TV.
DR.. Dunn said the whole cost
of medical care has gone up
because "the tools we use have
become more expensive"
On other aspects of medical
care, Dr. Dunn declared:
Everyone should have some
form of medical and hospital
insurance. He doubts if a uni
form system of medical fees
by doctors can be established
on a citywide basis because
that would constitute price
fixing.
Some form of subsidy is nee
essary for nursing home care
to meet the needs Of the aged
who are unable to pay.
Washington has the great
est number of doctors proper
tionately Of any American city.

Steel Strike
Delays New
Parking Lot

The steel shortage will delay
completion of a 475-car park
ing lot under the Southwest
freeway from four to six
months.
William D. Heath, director of
the District Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency, said yesterday
that the lot, scheduled for COM
pletion in May, probably won't
be ready until next fall. The
parking lot will be between
South Capitol and Second
streets.
District highway officials
previously indicated that work
on freeways would be slowed
down because of the 116-day
steel strike ended by a Federal
injunction November Z.
Mr.. Heath also announced
at a meeting of the agency yes
terday that a 290-car lot on
the old Soldiers Home Grounds
would be completed this week
and opened Monday. The new
free fringe lot is at Michigan
avenue and Irving street NE.
Additional bus service from
the new Soldiers Home lot and
the Carter Barron lot at Six
teenth street and Colorado
avenue NV. is scheduled to
begin Monday.
The agency also decided to
establish a merit award syS-
tenn for private parking opera
tors in the District who make
a special effort to beautify
their lots.

ZOO DECIDES ON CAUTION
Crocodile Birds Escape Snap! Test

''My crocodiles have been in
captivity so long, they may not
remember they're not supposed
to eat crocodile birds. Or maybe
they might snap those big jaws
out of sheer boredom"
DR.. Herbert Friedman, the
Smithsonian's expert on birds,
agrees with DR.. Reed. He said
there are so few recorded in
stances of crocodile birds pick
ing crocodiles' teeth for them
that it makes him wonder.
IF they were my birds, I'd
keep them in a safe place." said
DR.. Friedman.
Story Expanded
Some writer's say that the
crocodiles let the birds roam all
over them, picking leeches and
bugs out OF the skin as well as
doing dental work. The birds
also are supposed to act as
guardians for the crocodiles by
taking wing at the approach Of
danger and thus warning the
crocs to hit the water.
Another school of thought
has it that the birds happen to
live where the crocs do, and
they just ignore each other.
| AS it stands, the Washington
Zoo is going to stand pat. The
birds will stay in one cage and
the crocs in another.
