his chief engineer, Barney

"Six hundred and forty
eight thousand jeeps were

all in Toledo. Ford made
jeepS also on the design
developed by RooS.
"They went all over the

some discussion here of the

cause they did not ride

"Why don't the sculptors

Dies in Fall

A pregnant young housewife
plunged Is feet to her death
yesterday while apparently
washing windows in her first
floor apartment, 3039 Macomb

The body of Mrs. Robert r..
Engle, 10, who had been mar
ried just over a year, was found
about 4:45 pm. in an areaway
directly under the living room
windows of her apartment, po-
lice said.
District Coroner A. Magru-
der Macdonald ruled that her
death was accidental, due to a
fall.
Daniel Russell, 6S, the apart
ment janitor who found the
body, said that at 1880 pm.
Mrs. Engle borrowed a hose
from him, saying she wanted
to wash her windows. A short
time later a neighbor saw her
sitting on the sill, with her legs
inside, washing the windows.
Police said Mrs. Engle wore
socks but no shoes. She had
been waxing her floors and it
is possible that some wax found
clinging to her socks may have
led to the accident, investi-
gators said.
Mr.. Engle, who is employed
by a downtown brokerage firm,
was at work at the time.
Mrs. Engle, the former Judith
Ann Rich, of Hartford, Conn.,,
met her husabnd at the Univer-

Republican congressional

whether State voters should ap-
prove the Potomac River COM
pact November 8.
Charles McC. Matthias. candi-
date in the 9Th district, told
reporters last night that he
favors approval of the compact.
Carlyle j. Lancaster, 5th dis
trict candidate, said last week
that he is opposed to the COM
pact, which would set up a
Maryland-Virginia body to reg
ulate fishing in the river.
Republican Senator Beall,
speaking at q Prince George
rally for Henry Cabot Lodge
last night, reiterated his posi-
ton against the compact.
Hit as Give-Away
Senator Beall praised Mr..
Lancaster for taking a stand
against it and urged the audi
ence to vote against it. He said
the compact would mean "giv-
ing away half our river"
During his introduction of
Mr.. Matthias a short while later
in Montgomery County, Sena-
tor Beall did not mention the
compact.
Mr.. Lancaster disclosed his
position on the compact at a
meeting last week of watermen
from st. Marys and Charles
counties who are opposed to it.
Mr.. Matthias said the COM
pact is not an issue in his
district. since it would have no
effect above Great Falls. He
pointed out that he voted for
the compact in the Maryland
Legislature.
Would Share Costs
He said the compact would
not give Virginia any more
fishing rights in the Potomac
than it already has. He said
that If there was a giveaway
it was in l785 when a bi-State
compact gave Virginia equal
fishing rights in the Potomac.
Maryland abrogated the 1785
compact a few years ago and
Virginia took the issue to the
Supreme Court. Hearing on
the case was postponed after
the State legislatures agreed
to the proposed new compact
which goes before Maryland
voters November 8.
I Mr.. Matthias said that under
the compact, Virginia will have
to provide half the expenses
involved in regulating fishing
and in building up the sea food
supplies. He said that up to
now Virginia has had equal
fishing rights but no RESPONSE
bility for conserving sea food
resources.
