when approached by a police
ot1icer," the memo stated.
A freak occurrence started
the chain Of events leading to
the tragedy, according to police
accident investigator Harold F.
Gipe.
Police Tagged Down
At sos am. he said, Traffic
Division Pvts. Vincent B. Burlin
and Thomas Mangum in Traf-
nc Car 2 were tagged down by
a cab driver at Thirteenth
street and Missouri avenue NV.
The driver, Meyer Jacobs, of
1922 Otis drive, Rockville, Md,
pointed out a white station
wagon he had been following
and told the officers it had been
stolen.
He knew. he explained, be-
cause he had just driven the
owner, Wilfred A. Briggs, to
his home at 4112 Woodbine
street, Chevy Chase, Md. Mr..
Briggs explained to him his car
had been stolen from the 1900
black Of Wisconsin avenue
NV. Mr.. Jacobs said.
Mr.. Jacobs wife explained
later that her husband first
drove Mr.. Briggs to the eighth
precinct, where he reported the
car stolen. Mr.. Briggs gave
Mr.. Jacobs a full description
OF the station wagon, COM
plete with tag number
CMr. Briggs is musical direc-
tor of Landon School and
choir director of All Saints
Church at Chevy Chase Circle)
Station Wagon Leaves
The officers started out after
the station wagon, and Pvt.
Burlin notified the police dis
patcher. Mr.. Briggs report
about his missing car had not
yet reached the dispatcher, but
the officers continued the pur-
suit because the station wagon
had now started to speed away.
The chase moved west on
Military road. Pvt. Burlin said
the last time he dared look at
his speedometer. it showed bet
ter than so miles an hour.
Other cars in the eighth pre-
cinct were notified, in hopes
one could intercept the speed
ing station wagon. AS he
neared Nebraska avenue, Pvt.
Burlin said, he turned on his
red light and siren in an effort
to warn other cars away from
the intersection. !
AS the speeding cars moved
into the 3700 block of Military
road. Just east of Connecticut
avenue. an eastbound eighth
precinct scout car, siren wall
ing. passed the station wagon.
Seconds later, the station
wagon smashed head-on at an
estimated 80 miles an hour into
the car driven by Mr.. Thomp-
son.
1T sounded like an explo-
sion," Pvt. Burlin said. The
station wagon looked like a
porpoise leaping from the wa
ter. The front end went down,
and its tail end with the lights
went up in the air-up on its
nose. 1t tipped several times"
Pvt. Burlin said he thought
the fleeing car had struck a
parked auto. He said he mad
!been about 100 yards behind
when the cars collided. and
he couldn't see through the
dust raised by the impact.
Other Car Demolished
When he reached the scene,
he said, the other car, a 1949
sedan. was demolished, and all
four of its doors jammed shut.

perate effort to free the victims.
Pvt. Burlin got slivers of glass
in his fingers in the rescue

Police records and state
mentS from Watson's mother,
Mrs. Eunice Watson, showed
that the youth came from a
broken home. had been in
trouble with the law and once
was sent to st. Elizabeths Hos
pital for mental observation.
Juvenile Squad records
showed he had been arrested
for breaking a store window at
age IL. petty larceny at age 13,
and for threatening a girl with
a knife two years later.
Mrs. Watson, a clerk for a
trucking company, said she left
her husband IL years ago, TAX

happened in the school, Mrs
Watson said. AS a result of
that trouble, she said. he was
sent to District General Hos
pital and then to st. Eliza
beths in August, 1856.
st. Elizabeths officials said he
was discharged "as person of

later.

tail on the issues" before the
convention meets.
He commented that "a lot Of
what he Gov. Rockefeller) said
has been said by Democrats
already"
The party chairman said he
did not think the Governors
statement injured the party's
chances for victory in Novem-
ber. There is room for diff
ference of opinion within our
party" he said. II expect Gov.
Rockefeller to back the ticket
in November as he las said he
would"
Senator Morton said he had
not had any reaction from the
President to the Rockefeller
statement but he said a few
people on Mr.. Nixon'S staff
were a little angry" about it.
Senator Morton said Its all
right with me if Nixon and
Rockefeller want to debate the
issues" but he said it would
be preferable to have the de-
bate before the convention
meets rather than during the
convention"
House Action Reported
The reported action of the
New York Republicans in the
House was first disclosed by the
Troy IN. " Times-Record.
The newspaper said in a
copyrighted story that Repre-
sentative William E. Miller,
Lockport Republican, was its
source.
Mr.. Miller, who heads the
House Republican Campaign
Committee, said the only dis
senting vote on a resolution
adopted last night by II of the
States "a G. o. P. Representa-
tive Jessica M. Weis of RocheS-
ter, a national committee
woman.
Mr.. Miller said the resolution
reads:
1T is the overwhelming Senti-
ment of Republican members
in the House from New York
State that Richard M. Nixon
should be and will be our candi-
date for President of the United
States and that he will be
Overwhelmingly elected by the
people of the United States ir
November"
The resolution was adopted
at a party for Representative
Taylor of Troy. the story said
Gov. Rockefeller, who wanti
to be drafted for the nomina.
tion. has persuaded county Re.
publican chairmen of New Yorl
that the New York delegation
to the party convention next
month should go unpledged.
Some chairmen are known tt
believe they should indorse Mr.
Nixon.
Party Chiefs Meet
Disclosure of the Presidents
reaction to Gov. Rockefeller's
charges Of inadequacy in the
Administrations defense pol
icies came after a conference
Iof administration leaders al
the White House today.
House Republican Leader
Halleck told newsmen after the
conference with President Eli
senhower that the President
firmly believes "the provisions
we are making for national de-
fense are reasonably adequate
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said he regards Gov
Rockefeller'S criticism of the
defense program as "unfortu-
nate" mainly because of the
impact it is bound to have
abroad.
Gov. Rockefeller, asserting
that "our position in the worlo
is dramatically weaker today
than Is years ago." urged

but was turned down as 4-F.
Last December, she said, he
went to work at an animal hos
pital in Bethesda, Md.
Gust Disappeared"
Officials of the Edgemoor
Animal Hospital at AHA Mont
gomery avenue, Bethesda, said
Watson came to work there
last December. He kept the ami
mails fed and clean.
At the end of March. they
said, he lust disappeared"
Last night. she said. he came
to her house and drank coffee
and watched television from
8 pm. to II pm. She did not
see him leave. At 4:30 am,
police came by and told her
what had happened.
Every time I see a cop, ]
think Georges in trouble" she
said.
A brother, David, IT, a junior
at Wilson High School, said
"he made his own breaks . he
had the same chances as the
others"
Neighbor Comments
He seemed to be a kind
hearted kid" a neighbor said.
He loved to work with animals.
But he needed help"
Watson was still uncon-
scious eight hours after the
accident. He underwent sew
eral emergency operations for
the depressed skull fracture and
many other injuries.
Police had been unable to de-
termine his recent whereabouts
or activities. Detective Gipe
said he appeared dirty and un-
kempt.
He said the boy had obtained
a District learners permit but
that it had expired some time
last year.
The tragedy jumped the Dis
trict's 1860 trafic death toll
to 42-10 more than at this
time last year,

Nixon,s Chances
Seen UNCHANGED

SO~
spending an additional SO bill
lion for immediate defense
needs.
The Republican congressional
leaders shrugged of most ques-
tions about other aspects of the
Rockefeller statement which
attacked Mr.. Nixon and urged
actions in many domestic fields
contrary to Eisenhower admin
istration policies.
Asked if the President seemed
upset by the Rockefeller criti-
cism, both Senator Dirksen and
Mr.. Halleck said "the President
does not get upset"
On Mr.. Nixon's plans, Mr.
Klein said the Vice President
was leaving Washington in mid
afternoon today to attend q
Camden dinner honoring Rep
|resentative Cahill, New Jersey
Republican. The press confer
ence had been scheduled in line
with the Vice Presidents policy
of leaving the Washington
scene to the President and
holding a news conference on
his own only while out of the
Capital.
Mr.. Klein noted that this
would be the twentieth news
conference held by the Vice
President this year. He also
said he had held IA question
and answer sessions and hac
appeared 16 times on radio ano
televiSion.
While emphasizing that he
was not replying to Gov
Rockefeller, Mr.. Klein said, 81
think the record will show the
Vice President has expressed
his views" on the issues.
Mr.. Nixon brushed off al
questions as he arrived at the
Statler-Hilton Hotel for c
closed-door luncheon with Re.
publican State chairmen.
Will Attend Lunch
After his appearance il
Camden tonight, Mr.. Nixon vii
continue to New York, where
he and Gov. Rockefeller arr
both scheduled to attend 6
luncheon tomorrow in connec'
tion with the opening of {
British exhibit.
The Vice Presidents aide
said no arrangements have
been made for any private con
verSationS b tween the Vict
President and Gov. Rockefeller
They doubted any would bl
made at this time.
Republican leaders of botl
liberal and conservative lean
ing saw no chance that tht
Rockefeller statement seriousl!
endangered the Vice President
prospects of winning the nom,
ination.
But some of them disagreed
over whether the Vice Presiden
should speak out now, as Gov
Rockefeller demanded, or wal
until after he has received tn
nomination.
In a 2,700-word statemen
that caught everyone by sur
prise, Gov: Rockefeller yester,
day said:
II find it unreasonable IL
these times that the leading
Republican candidate for th'
presidential nomination ha!
firmly insisted upon making
known his own program anc
policies not before, but only
after, nomination by his party
The Governor said neither
the Nation nor the Republican
Party can march into the fu.
ture with a banner whose only
emblem is a question mark"
In criticizing administration
policies, Gov. Rockefeller de-
Tended the President personnel,
but scored the Vice President
role in settling the 1859 stee
strike. He said the settlement
was surrender to the forces O
imitation with a 81 billion rist
in the price of steel carefully
postponed until after next elec.

Show Is
Planned

Mrs. Richard Nixon, Mrs.
Christian Herter and Mrs.
Styles Bridges are among
leading Republican wives
who will model Tooth ami
versary fashions at the Grand
Old Party conventiu1l in July
in Chicago.
Charles James is currently
constructing dress forms and
working on IL patterns. based
on fashions worn by Repub-
lican First Ladies in the
Smithsonian Institution. He
says fittings for the literal
copies will take place next
week.
The idea to show fashions
from hoop to short tube eve
ming dress" he says, origi-
mated with Baroness Won
Langendorff, who heads
Evyan Perfumes. "She is one
of the most imaginative and
wittiest women in the world"
states James.
In showing a century of
fashion in the United States
Mr.. James says it will set out
to prove "the re-establish-
ment of American couture as
reflected in the dresses worn
In the White House"
Prophetic Gown?
Will Mrs. Nixon's ball gown
modelled at the convention
prove prophetic?
Whatever the political out
come, the James clothes pat
terms will be bought by the
Brooklyn Museum and made
into aluminium for research
by fashion students.
In order to reproduce au-
thentic figures of the past,
Mr.. James has been busy con-
structing period corsets to be
worn with the dresses.
Fashion Document
Another fashion document
from the convention show
ing will be the plastic wigs
the distinguished models will
wear. How hair was dressed
and the change in hairstyles
also is an important fashion
reflection" he stresses.
This will be more than a
fashion show. 1t will show
these women did not aim for
majority acceptance, but
that minority Endorsement
was the top expression of
fashion. This is and always
will be couture" says the
man whose creative design
ing in his own era has
brought him world recogni-
ton. ELEM.
