parently came over the young
sters as they were on their
way to school yesterday morn
ing. police said.

of 1t and was let out at the
school," Capt. Sweitzer said.
He said there was no reluc-
tance on the part of the others
to drop her OF at the school.
Police learned Of the incident
from her and several parents
who phoned police later in the
day to report their children's
failure to return home after
school.

home of a man in his 3Os who
was believed to be in one of
the vehicles, but no one knew
his whereabouts.

the teen-agers have not been
reported missing. They are
known only by nicknames and
police are unable to determine
their last names and notify
parents.

Help Save
Stricken Boy

A school principal and teach
er are credited with saving the
life Of a 10-year-old boy when
he suffered an asthmatic attack
yesterday in the North End
Elementary School, Greenbelt,
Md.
The youngster. Mario Milasi,
was revived by artificial respira-
ton and mouth-to-mouth re-
suScitation by the principal,
Mrs. Maxine Grimm, and a
sixth-grade teacher, Joseph
OLoughlin.
Mario, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Milasi, SID Ridge road,
Greenbelt, complained of feel
ing faint, his father was told.
The boy collapsed in the arms
of William B. Yates, jr., a fifth
grade teacher.
Notified of the incident, Mrs.
Grimm called the Green5elt
Rescue Squad and Mr.. OLough-
lin, a squad member and the
only one in the school with ad-
vanced first aid training. Mrs.
Grimm began artificial respira-
ton.
Mr.. O'Loughlin said he first
could feel no pulse, but after
reSuScitation efforts the boy
gagged. Kept breathing by the
rescue squad resuscitator, the
youngster was removed to the
Office of DR.. William Wein-
traub. Later the boy was ad-
mitted to Prince Georges Gen.
eral Hospital, where today he
is reported IN satisfactory con-
dition.
Mr.. Mi,asi said the doctor
