Dark Christmas seals are
throwing Post Office mechani-
zation for a loss here this sea-
son.
Photoelectric sensors in auto
matte canceling machines are
designed to detect the darkest
area on an envelope and face
the stamp for cancellation. The
problem with some of the char
ity Christmas seals is that they
are darker than stamps.
In one case, a Maryland
woman put a light stamp on
an envelope pre-addressed to
the Prince Georges County
tuberculosis Association. The
envelope had the return ad-
dress of the sender on the back.
The woman put four of the
Christmas seals she had bought
on the back of the envelope
and mailed the letter.
It soon came back to her.
The stamp on the front had
not been Cancelled. The seals
on the back had been.
Seeing the cancellation, mail
sorters apparently assumed the

Identity of Slain Girl
Still q Virginia Mystery

Virginia investigators today
intensified efforts to identify
the teen-aged girl whose bat
tered body was found Saturday
beside a lonely road near Hills
boro in Loudoun County.
Sheriff Maurice j. Dwyer said
in Leesburg today there are no
clues to the identity of the girl
or the person responsible for
her death. Asked if she could
have been struck by a car.
Sheriff Dwyer said it remained
a possibility" But State Police
Investigator c. L. Wood said
that theory "has been pretty
we'll ruled out"
Investigator Wood pointed
out that some of the marks
and scars on her body indicated
she had been beaten long be-
fore her death some time in
the early morning hours last
Saturday.
The autopsy report from the
office of State Medical Ex-
aminer Godfrey Mann of Rich
mond said the girl died of a
severe blow to the head which
caused a hemorrhage of the
brain. Time of death was
placed at about 2::30 am. Sat-
urday, less than two hours be-
fore two Loudoun sheriff's
deputies found her body in a
Ihoneysuckle thicket beside
Route 715, two miles from the
West Virginia State line and
about so miles from Washing

The autopsy disclosed she

Wutermen Fail
In Appeal Of
Maryland Case
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star staff Writer

The Supreme Court today
cleared the way for Congress
to act on the Potomac River
fishing compact by refusing
to consider the protest raised
by group of Maryland fish
ermen.
The case was brought to the
high court after the Maryland
Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 last
June that the Maryland-Vir-
ginia agreement had been ef-
fectively approved by Maryland
voters. Today's action left
standing the Maryland appel
late decision.
The watermen have been
trying to block the compact
on the grounds that it was
not property advertised be-
fore voters approved it in a
referendum. They also at
tackled the compact on nu-
merous constitutional grounds,
contending that Maryland
would abdicate its powers and
allow Virginia to police crimes
on the Maryland-owned Po-
tomac and to try Maryland
citizens in Virginia courts for
crimes committed on the river.
The appellate court did not
rule on the constitutionality
of the compact as it will op-
crate, but termed the Mary
land law approving the COM
pact a constitutional enact
ment which was properly rati-
fled by the voters.
The compact would set up a
bi-State commission to regulate
fishing, replacing a 1785 COM
pact which had been declared
VOID Dy the Maryland LeglSla-
ture in 1858.
After the Maryland Legisla-
ture voided the old compact,
Virginia went to the Supreme
Court to contest Maryland's
unilateral action and the high
court named retired Justice
Stanley Reed to help the States
settle their differences on the
feud-ridden river.
The proposed new compact
was accepted by Gov. Almond
of Virginia and Gov. Tawes of
Maryland and by the General
Assembly of each State.
After the 1859 session of the
Maryland Assembly ratified the
new compact, the law was
forced to a Statewide referen-
dunn by the petitions of close to
5000 voters. In the Novem-
ber, 1860, election, the voters
approved adoption of the law.

River Sewage
Highly Treated
Waste Has Limit,
WoImun Asserts
BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

A noted sanitary engineer
warned today that the Wash
ington area may find it neces-
sary in the future to stop
putting even highly treated sew
age waste into the Potomac
| River.
Abel Wolman, former head of
the department of sanitary en-
gineering of Johns Hopkins
University, said it is a paradox
that the more sewage is treated,
the worse the problem can be-
come in sluggish estuaries.
Mr.. Wolman advised the
Regional Sanitary Board to
have a major study made of
the effect of treated sewage on
the estuary section of the river
and the Washington area.
He said studies made so far
of the estuary have not been
sufficiently detailed to provide
a final answer on how much
treated sewage this part of the
river can safely assimilate.
May Have to Get Out
I'VE have the feeling that
unless certain chronological ad-
vances are made" Mr.. Wolman
said. I'VE may have to get out
of the river"
Mr.. Wolman said that expe-
rience elsewhere has shown
that the nutrients left in highly
treated sewage waste stimulate
the growth of algae.
when these algae die" he
continued, "the effect is as bad
as if the sewage had not been
treated at all.
Mr.. Wolman. who has been
acting as a consultant to the
Regional Sanitary Board, said
it might prove desirable to pipe
the treated sewage waste from
the Washington area to CheSa-
peake Bay.
He said he believed that the
nutrients in highly treated
sewage would be an asset ir
stimulating growth of fish ir
the CheSapeake's alrge body oi
water.
Sees Tapping Possible
Mr.. Wolman also said that
the pipeline carrying sewage
could be tapped by lower Mary
land counties as a water sup.
ply for industries.
The sanitary engineer sale
that regardless of what hap
pens, he believes dams on ths
Potomac will be needed to store
water for additional flows il
the Washington area.
He said this extra water will
be needed during droughts il
the estuary section of the river
is to continue as a recreationa
and scenic asset to the area.

One of the most interesting

Our acquain tance goes
back to the testimonial din

included such disparate
names as Robert Woods Bliss,
William C. Bullitt, John Fos-

mediately took off on the

ing to give Americans q
great idea to fight for in the
forthcoming invasion of
Europe. Clarence has always
been a man Of peace who is
willing to fight for it.
And there was a touching
moment when Clarence in
troduced his French wife
with the words of the dedi-
cation of his book, Pas Sans
Toi (Not Without Thee),

I introduced myself to him
afterwards. Som how or
