It was Just past 4 pm.
I was sitting on a curb in
front of the Morley apart
ment. chatting wit. Mario
Mamma. a friend of the Nor
leys. A trash truck drove
up and the driver asked if
the girls had been found yet.
I shook my head and tried
to relax. but I couldn't. I
had spent two days with
grief-stricken people, people
who had invited me into
their homes, shared their
food with me. told me what
they were thinking about,
and pleaded silently with
their eyes for help.
One can't do that, I dis
covered, without getting in
volved. And I was involved.
We sat there, trying to put
into words what we felt, but
nothing came. The street
was deserted.
I stood up. Just to do some
thing, and / saw the FBI
agent walking toward us. He
looked calm, but I thought
his walk was forced, and too
deliberate.
AS he came closer, I saw
beads of perspiration on his
forehead. He turned and
went into the Morley apart
ment.
I ran to call our photog-
rapher, Gene Abbott, sitting
in an apartment a few doors
away.
Back on the street, we
watched the FBI man march
back down the stairs, turn
and go into the Ohlgren's
next door. We just stood
there.
Then the agent and Mr..
Morley came out. I called to
Mr.. Morley.
Whats up?" I asked.
They found them," he
answered.
I almost couldn't ask the
next question.
Are they safe?"
"YeS," he said.
Are you going to get
them?" I asked.
mo. the FBI is going to
bring tn m here" he
answered.
The next thing I remem-
ber, I was shouting over the

weeping softly.
Major Ohlgren said only
II couldn't be any happier. +"
If I could have taken the two
smiles from these fathers
faces, I thought they would
have lit up the entire world
Mrs. Ohlgren made me q
glass of iced tea and I drank
it all before I remembered ]
liked it with sugar.
BY this time, the word was
being spread up and down
the street by shouting chill
dren. People began to come
out on their balconies. Cars
drove up. Then more FBI
men came and took Mr..
Morley and Mai. Ohlgren to
the basement of the apart
ment building. Somebody said
they had found the children
in q vacant apartment next
door.
Gene and I waited on the
landing. not daring to move.
Then the door opened and
Two little girls. one with
braids, another with long
dark hair, came through the
door with their fathers. They
looked bewildered.
Maria Teresa Morley came
up the stairs with her father,
swinging a small yellow plaS-
tic sand bucket in her hand.
Rita Ohlgren and her ia
ther disappeared through an
other basement door.
I ran after the MorleyS.
In the apartment, "Tita"
was in her mothers arms.
People began filling the
apartment. Everyone stood,
not speaking, just looking at
Teresa and her mother. OPP
posite the two, facing them
from the top of the television
set, sat the figurine of the
Madonna and Child.
Next door, Mary Ohlgren
stood watching her daughter
who was seated at the dining
room table. Rita'S head was
cooked to one side, her lips
spread wide in a smile that
exposed her two missing front
teeth. 1t was the same pose
that I had seen a day before
in a photograph, but now it
was real.
Then the people began to
come. Reporters, photog-
raphers. friends, neighbors,
kids. They were all over,
crowding in doors, asking
endless questions.
Laughter spread among us.
The kids outside, more than
100, were chanting, "Yayyy.
A few of us stood in the
back of the crowd, listening
to the questions, hearing the
answers, and smiling at each
other.

Mr.. Miller, who said the re.
port was written against his
own convictions, testified that
it was prepared at the in
structions of Emory E. Jacobs,
a former Agriculture Depart

Jacobs left with him the i'm

report that would present
"every justification" permitting
the Pecos operator to retain
his cotton alottments.
''WhO Is That PERSON."
Senator Mcclellan said Mr..
Jacobs had no authority to
make the decision which sus-
pended cancellation of the
cotton alottments. He also
pointed out that Mr.. Miller
himself, John c. Bagwell, the

that they favored cancellation

Senator Mcclellan. Democrat
Of Arkansas, charged today
that some one at the top level
in the Agriculture Department
tried to help Billie Sol Estes
in his cotton allotment deals.
The chairman Of the Sen

ing the indicted Pecos (Tex0

officials in the department had
the authority to overrule a de-
cision cancelling the Estes al
lottment.
The Senator named them as
Undersecretary Of Agriculture
Charles S. Murphy and Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Freeman.
Mr.. Murphy has been men,
toned as a key figure in the

the article, Edward Hymoff,
but:
Senator Nye himself carried
the secret to the grave with
him. Today, no one-barring
possible survivors of the burial
ceremony even knows which
elm tree the Senator is buried
under"
Mr.. Nye, who is now SO and
a Federal Housing AdminiStra-
tion specialist here on housing
for the elderly, got off a 1900
word letter yesterday to How
ard Cohn, executive editor of
Pageant. 1t wasn't as rough a
letter as Mr.. Nye might have
written back in the days when
he was a fire-eating isolation
iSt whose Senate career 1925

verSy.
In fact it was a mellow epis-
tie datelined "Over Here in the
Great Beyond" Death must
have been painless, he said, for
he never noticed it. 1t could
have been caused by those three
wasps that stung him a while
back in his garden at 6 Farm
ington drive. Chevy Chase, Md.
But he wanted to set the
record straight; he did not bury
the box with Senator Hans
brough's ashes: with his own
hand he Strewed them under
the tree.
Editor Cohn told a newsman
he was deeply embarrassed.
I'm glad to hear Senator Nye
is alive" he said, "and if he's
kicking it's with good reason"
Author Hymoff said he thought
he had checked his article
thoroughly but guessed he had
checked some Of it "in the

Gerald P. Nye, one-time Sen
ator from North Dakota, arose
from the grave in which a mag
azine article permaturely buried
him and gave notice today
that:
/. He is alive and kicking.

body is buried, or rather where
a truly-dead ex-Senator'S ashes
were strewn long ago. In fact.
Mr.. Nye strewed them himself.
under a tree on the Capitol
grounds.
What brought Mr.. Nye back
from "the Great Beyond" was
an article in the September
issue of Pageant magazine en-
titled:
THE Only Man Buried on
Capitol Hill"
It's a heart tugging tale
about Henry Clay Hansbrough,
a publisher politician who
helped tame the West, a pen
in one hand and a six-gun in
the other" When North Da-
kota entered the Union, he be-
came its first Representative in
Congress and from 1891 to 1909
was United States Senator.
Although still tall and hand
some and although his handle
bar mustache still gliStened,
the aged Hansbrough felt a
premonition of the end in 1888.
Visiting the office of his friend,
Senator Nye, he said he loved
Washington and wanted to re-
main on Capitol Hill forever.
Pointing out a window, he
said: when I die I want you
to bury my ashes under that

Berlin Commandments s
Office Shut by Reds
Moscow Tells
West to Deal
With Troops

BERLIN, Aug. % (AP). -
The Russians summarily abol-
ished their commandments Of
flee in Berlin today and told
the Western allies henceforth
they must deal with the So
Wet military command in East
Germany.
The move, coming at time
Of rising tension in the divided
city. was apparently a new step
in the Soviet campaign to oust
Western garrisons. The decision
appeared intended to support
the Soviet claim Of East Ger
man Communist sovereignty in
matters concerning Berlin ex-
cept in strictly four-pcwer mil
itary affairs.
There was no immediate
comment from Maj. Gen. Albert
Watson u, the American COM
mandant.
The announcement came two
hours after United States mill
tary police at Checkpoint
Charlie held up three Soviet
armored cars for IS minutes at
the border crossing point. A
hassle developed as the Rus
slams insisted they did not want
an escort despite recent ston-
ings of Red Army buses carry
ing sentries to the Soviet war
memorial in the British sector.
The Soviet cars finally went
through. accompanied by an
American military escort.
Interference Charged
The Russian announcement
said the Western powers have
used the existence of the Soviet
commandant's office as an ex-
cuse to interfere in internal
affairs of East Germany.
The announcement declared
the Western powers "are re-
sorting to such measures in
order to preserve the occupa-
ton regime in West Berlin as
a cover for the NATO military
, base" The Russians insist that
. West Berlin has been turned
into a base for the North At
lantic Treaty Organization.
! The Soviet announcement
hinted at further moves.
The Russians said matters
taken up by the Soviet COM
mandant, such as movement of
supplies for the Western garri-
sons and movements Of troops
in and out of West Berlin, are
Temporarily within the juris-
diction of the headquarters Of
the group Of Soviet troops in
Germany.
This meant that even this
arrangement was subject to
change.
Sir Christopher Steel, head
Of the British military govern
ment in Berlin, said the aboli-
ton Of the Soviet command
appears to have no great poll
tical implications. But Sir
Christopher said he wanted to
know more before commenting
further.

body on the Capitol grounds.
But for old friendships sake he
consented.
A short time later the old
man died, and a box bearing
his ashes arrived at Mr.. Nye's
office. According to the maga-
zine article, Mr.. Nye gathered
a few friends and colleagues
around him, proceeded to the
tree and buried the box with q
simple whispered prayer.

By JERRY OTEARY, Jr.
Star Staff Writer


Two dark-eyed 7-year-old
Alexandria girls were safe and
well in their homes today after
FBI agents found them locked
in Q bathroom less than so
yards from where they live.
They had been missing for
nearly 40 hours when they were
found yesterday afternoon.
Rita Ohlgren and Maria
Teresa Morley were famished
and both were running slight
temperatures when FBI agents
returned them to their parents
shortly after 4 pm. yesterday.
But today the bad dream was
over and tension lifted from
the Brookville area where they
had dropped out of sight so
mysteriously Sunday evening.
Rita was taken to Fort Bel
voir Hospital for o physical
checkup by her parents, Ma
rine Major and Mrs. Arthur S.
Ohlgren, Of $685. Taney avenue,
last night. Doctors indicated
nothing was wrong with her
that catching up on a few
meals wouldn't cure.
Everything All Right Now
Maria Teresa, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Morley,
of $3.50 Taney avenue, is sched-
uled to see a doctor today but
her father described the entire
happy outcome to q reporter
this morning:
"Everything's all right now"
The children were found by
FBI agents U. Leroy Sweeney,
a 23-year veteran Of the bu-
reau, and Lansing P. Pete) ,
Logan. who has been an agent
for one year. The agents, both
assigned to the Alexandria res
ident agents office. were work
ing as a team in a special
squad Of so agents under
Harry Morgan. Assistant Spe-
cial Agent in Charge Of the
Richmond office.
The discovery Of the girls
in unoccupied Apartment 202
Of 1891 Taney avenue came
when hope for their safety had
virtually ceased. Alexandria po-
lice were convinced the girls
had been kidnapped or slain.
When Mr.. Sweeney and Mr..
Logan saw the children, one
of them said, Are you the little
girls we're looking for?"
Rita and Maria Teresa said
they were.
Girls Are Safe
Mr.. Sweeney left the younger
agent with the children and
walked to the next wing of the
building where Mr.. Morley and
his Guatemala born wife, Mag
dalena, were waiting despond-
emily.
THE girls are safe" he said.
They are safe and we will
bring them to you now"
Mrs. Morley tainted.
Agent Sweeney then walked
to the next wing and repeated
the news to the Ohlgrens and
whatever was said is now for
gotten in the surge Of happiness
that swept the families.
Minutes later, the fathers of
the little girls had led them
back to their mothers, who had
slept but little and then only
under sedation since the chill
dren vanished shortly after 5
pm. Sunday.
Black-haired Rita, whose
mother, Mary, is Japanese, did
most of the talking as re-
porters, photographers and
neighbors fired questions at
them about the ordeal.
