that his department will likely
be manning the bastions in
opposition" to the inundation
of recreational land along the

A report recommending con-
struction Of q series of dams
in the Potomac River basin is
expected in February or March
from the regional office of the
Army Corps Of Engineers.
Assistant Secretary Of the
Interior John A. CARRIER, jr.,
said President Kennedy's exec
utive memorandum of last No.
vember calling for preserva-
ton Of open spaces, including
parks, woodland and scenic re-
sources in the National Capital
region is vital to whatever
public use can be made Of the
river once 1t is finally cleaned
up"
Mr.. Carver, who directs In
terior's public land manage
ment programs, spoke at the
winter banquet Of the Inter-
state Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin. After his
speech, he told q reporter that
the Department would not op-
pose dam construction as such,
but would try to preserve as
much recreational land as
possible.
Proprietary Interest"
He told the regional officials
attending the banquet that the
department has a proprietary
interest" In the approximately
l20, 900 acres Of Federal park
lands in the Potomac watershed.
The two-day winter meeting
OF the commission concluded at
the George Mason Hotel in
Alexandria today. 1t focused on

On Teacher

William s. Replane, husband
Of the 25-year-old Laurel Md.)
teacher who vanished mysteri-
ously four days ago, appeared
at police headquarters In
Washington early today in q
futile search for news of his
wife's whereabouts.
The visit was prompted by
the discovery on Q Northwest
Washington street Of the snap
shot Of q woman.
Mr.. Replane, 20, a general
science teacher at Laurel
Junior High School, told de-
tectives the woman in the pic
ture resembled, but was not his
missing wife. Allene Carol Re-
plane.
The missing woman's car, Its
headlights still burning, was
found on a lonely rural road
three hours after she finished
teaching an adult sewing class
Monday night at Laurel Senior
High School. Police have been
unable to find any trace Of a
struggle in the auto.
Takes Lie Test
Maryland State police inter-
viewed Mr.. Replane for several
hours yesterday at State police
headquarters in Pikesville, Md.
During the session, the science
teacher was given q lie -detector
test described by one official
as "a routine investigative
guide"
Il was happy to do It," Mr..
Replane said. They have alb
solutely nothing to 60 on and
can't afford to overlook any
thing"
The Monday night sewing
class was her first such assign
ment in the Prince Georges
County adult education pro-
gram. For nearly a year, she
has been q substitute home &c
onomics teacher in Laurel area
schools.
State police are admittedly
baffled by her sudden, mex
plicable disappearance.
More Witnesses Found
Police have located several
witnesses who reported seeing
Mrs. Replane's car between
1910 pm. and 1920 pm. at
the spot where it was later
found-some 500 yards from
the Snow Hill apartment the
Replanes share at 1909 Mis-
tletoe Spring road, three miles
south of Laurel. She was last
seen leaving the Laurel school
building at 10 pm. Monday.
State Police Detective Sergt.
Wilton r. May said full results
of the polygraph test given to
Mr.. Replane will not be known
until I'VE study the charts" but
he added that investigators
have no reason to doubt the
teachers account Of what hap
.pened Monday.
An FBI spokesman in Wash
ington today said Federal au-
thorities are following the in
