The Presidents blond daugh-

Monday. She had a birthday
party at the White House in
Washington, but a big family
party is scheduled for the week
end.
There is a question, however.
whether her brother, John F.
Kennedy. jr., will be able to
join the other Kennedys.
John, jr., who will be a year
old Saturday, was left in Wash
ington when the President and
Mrs. Kennedy, with Caroline,
flew to the summer White
House from Washington yester-
day.
The White House said the
baby had a slight cold, without
fever. He was left in the care
of a nurse, but may be able to
join the family before the week
end is over.
The Kennedys were sitting
down to a traditional holiday
dinner-prepared by the long
time family cook, Matilda Hell
dad-served in early afternoon
at the Joseph P. Kennedy home.
On the menu-tomato soup,
roast turkey with cranberry
sauce, candied sweet potatoes,
hot buttered rolls, a variety of
pies, including pumpkin, and
ice cream-vanilla, strawberry

A 13-year-old Riverdale area

in what Prince Georges County
police said was a hunting acci-
dent.
The boy, Frank M. Manzon
III, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
M. Manzon, jr., was killed
about $50 am. by a shotgun
blast in the face. The shooting
occurred about three blocks
from the boys home at 5720
Sixty-seventh avenue, East

The victim and three other
boys, aged l3 to Is, got up

David Dudley said.
The boys had two shotguns
and a .22-caliber rifle. AS one
of the other boys was holding

up again.
Deputy Police Chief Lorraine
T. johnson said he had 1876
police officers on duty at the
stadium. Aside from the three
rushes at the barriers, Deputy
Chief johnson said the day was
unmarried by incidents.
Shortly before kickoff at IL
am, the crowd in front of the
stadium made a fourth rush
when one ticket window was
opened. Stadium officials said
the window was opened to give
one man his reserved seat
ticket.
If all $1,000 ticket holders
were present at today's game,
it might we'll mean a new rec
ord for the entire Washington
area. The record now is held
by the University of Maryland
which claims $4,000 persons at
the 1850 game with Navy, the
1852 game against Navy, and
the 1855 game with UCLA.
Scoring for St. Johns were
Ned Carr on a pass from
Scotty Glacken. James Spencer
of Eastern scored from the

later Jay Calbrese of st. Johns

MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED
Missing Boy Returns Home

Chief Wallrodt had in the
back of his mind that it was
just a year ago this month
that 7-year-old Michael Con-
detti was kidnapped and slain
in Northeast Washington.
An operations base was set
up at the eighth police pre-
cinct.
A control station was manned
at the corner of Wisconsin
avenue and Ma com b
street NV.
Police searched in cars, in
Easements. in alleys and on
roofs.
BY 5 am, the search area
was widened to include the
grounds of Washington Cathe-
dral and Mrs. Wick was alarmed
as only a mother can be.
It was at $50 am. that the
mother went into the bedroom
for something and saw Doug
las feet sticking out from un-
der the bed-a spot she had
checked thoroughly earlier in
the evening.
She and police could only
theorize, pending her delayed
discussion of the matter with
Douglas, that her son crept
into the apartment unseen and
went into hiding when he saw
the turmoil he had created.
Mrs. Wick indicated to re-
porters that Douglas next trip
will be to whatever she uses
for a woodshed. Then, and not
until then, they will talk

Before he sits down to eat
his Thanksgiving dinner today,
S-year-old Douglas Wick
is going to have a talk with
his mother that may hurt her
more than it does him.
Douglas, for reasons best
known to himself, was missing
from his home in the Fleet
wood Apartments at 37O7
Woodley road NV. from $50
O'Clock last night until $50
o'clock this morning. At that
hour, his distraught mother,
Mrs. Peggy Wick, found him
asleep under a bed in the
family's third floor apartment
and Deputy Police Chief George
Wallrodt was able to call off
an extensive search of the
Cleveland Park area.
The little boy with the blond
crew-cut was too sleepy to tell
where he had been or when
he had got back into the apart
ment, so Mrs. Wick stuffed
Douglas into his pajamas and
put him to bed with a resolve
to discuss the matter in greater
depth later on.
