A vandal in a car has de-

men and their camels in a
church's life-size Nativity scene

1T was deliberately done, "
said Mrs. William F. Little

Mrs. Littlejohn, daughter of

the two figures.
She said tire tracks on the

Wise Men, then circled back
to knock down the second.
Fairfax County police are
investigating.
The scene, usually illum-

ruled today.
The Third District Court Of
Appeals here today denied q
petition for a writ Of prohibi-
ton by Motherwell's California
attorney, Robert Fugazi.
In effect, the defense petition
asked that Sierra County Su-
perior Court Judge Winslow
Christian be barred from trying
Motherwell in the death of Mrs.
Pearl Putney of Washington.
The remains of the 72-year-
old Mrs. Putney were found
near Downieville last August 16.
She was last seen a year before
after leaving a motel in adjoin-
ing Yuba County with Mother

John T. Reyes, Washington
attorney for Motherwell, had
said he would try to have the
case removed from Sierra
County. in which Downieville
is located, if the writ of prohib-
ition failed, on grounds the
local residents are prejudiced.
The defense suit contended
that evidence introduced before

Motherwell and that the hear
.ings were conducted in an "un.
orthodox manner"

Ancient Steed Arrives for Exhibit

Chattering quietly in Japa-
nese, DR.. Mona and Mr.. Mkt
began unwrapping their prize
exhibit which, swathed in
bandages and padding, resem-
bled a mummif1ed Shetland
pony.
AS they removed yards Of
gauze from his legs and snip
ped the padding from his
flanks, the pony emerged as a
small red erra-cotta horse. He
looked a little stiff perhaps, but
in good shape for 1,500-year-
old steed.
The horse was one Of IS
Haniwa Japanese burial mound
figures being prepared for an
exhibition at the National GAL
lery to open January 10. DR..
Seiroku Mona and Mr.. Fumio
Mkt of the staff of the Nation
al Museum of Tokyo are the
exhibits caretakers.
The unwrapped figures and
objects lay about in crates or
cocoons. Each cocoon, when
properly shipped and unband-
aged, fell apart to reveal a
reddish clay figure. These were
l. in assorted shapes and sizes,
ranging from small heads to
the horse and a large, smiling
warrior, standing slightly
askew with a shield.
The major part of the ex-
hibition will consist of the
Haniwa, or burial mound fig
ures. They originated, tradi-
ton says, when the Chinese
Emperor Suinin decided to end
the practice Of burying live
people and animals with each
emperor. Instead, he used clay
figures.

The
Rambler
Finds He Has
Fallen for q Plug
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

ny UEOhOL hLENNED1
There has been much men
ton of plugs" and plants"
and "payola" in the news
since the House Committee
on Legislative Oversight be-
gan looking into TV and ra-
do
The Rambler has to con-
fess that he finds that plug
was planted in his column
before the investigation
began.
This one was so we'll
screened that the Rambler
didn't realize he was being
had. In one mornings mail
there was a letter from Don
Campbell, of American Air
lines, who is president Of the
Indiana Society. 1t was an
invitation to attend a cere-
mony in the Capitol's Hall
of Statuary. A wreath was to
be laid at the base of the
statue Of Gen. Lew Wallace,
the author of Ben Hur,"
honoring him as "the man
who saved Washington at
the battle of the Monocacy."
The Rambler didn't go to
the ceremony-he went to
the library. He wanted to
check that statement. He has
long been interested in the
raid on Washington in the
summer of 1854, when Jubal
Early crossed the Potomac at
Harper's Ferry with 10000
men and descended on the
Capital from the north. On
July 9 he was met at the
Monocacy below Frederick by
Wallace, heading an impro-
vised force of about 5000.
Early was not stopped until
he arrived at Fort Stevens
Thirteenth and Quackenbos
streets N. W. on July IL.
After rereading the reports
the writer was forced to the
conclusion that while Wal
lace cost Early one day,
which was important, he did
not save Washington. He
saved Baltimore, to which
he withdrew, apparently &C
cording to orders. A column
to that effect appeared in
