Hodgdon Defends Firm
Against SEC Charges

A. Dana Hodgdon, denying
charges in a report by the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission, contended today that
his investment firm gives dis
interested advice to its clients
on stocks.
Mr.. Hodgdon is president of
Hodgdon g. Co., Inc, with Of
fices in Washington, Falls
Church and Bethesda. His
firm was one of many criticized
yesterday in a l,600-page re-
port on securities markets by
an SEC study group. =
The report said Hodgdon &
Co. advises customers to divide
most of their investment capi-
tai between mutual funds and
real estate syndications, and
describes the real estate stocks
as "blue chips"
About one-third Of the real
estate stocks bought by Hodg-
don's customers in the period
studied were in enterprises pro-
NOTED by the firm, according
to the report, and half the
mutual fund shares sold were
in a fund in which Mr.. Hodg-
don had an interest.
Hodgdon statesmen are paid
extra compensation on sales Of
this fund and of real estate
syndications promoted by the
firm, the report said.
Emphasis on real estate and
mutual funds is so great, the
report said, the Hodgdon has
recommended fewer than 20
stocks in industrial companies,
and eight of these we're UNDER

Charges Called "Nasty"
Mr.. Hodgdon complained to
a reporter that the SEC charges
were pretty nasty"
He said his firm has recon-
mended many industrial stocks
to its customers, although 1t
does frequently advise clients
to purchase real estate shares
and mutual funds.
The real estate shares are in

Rabid Hamsfer
CausesAIert
Through Area

The District Health Depart
ment has placed two pet stores
and a hamster breeder under
quarantine following the re-
port Of a rabid hamster in
Northern Virginia.
The Virginia Health Depart
ment had notified the District
that two Northern Virginia res
idents were bitten by q ham,
ster last month. The hamster
was purchased from a nearby
Virginia pet shop supplied by
the District breeder now under
quarantine.
Health authorities In nearby
Virginia, meanwhile, have sur
veyed all area pet shops and
other stores where hamsters are
sold and have, in some cases,
ordered q precautionary, tenn
lporary quarantine on the sale
OF the animals,
No more hamsters are to be

In Fairfax County, Sanitary
Engineer F. Payne johnson said
about 20 hamster dealers in
the county voluntarily agreed
to withhold the rodents from
sale until further word from
Fairfax health officials.
Health officials stressed the
point that the two Arlington
girls bitten by the hamster last
month were apparently not in
fected but have been given
routine anti-rabies treatment.
The girls are sisters and Of
ficials said the second sister
to be bitten had taken the
animal with her to Mary WASH

hamster which proved to be
rabid, and all warm blooded
mammalians In two pet shops
which bought hamsters from
him, have been quarintined I'M

No Alarm
"It's not q cause for alarm"
Mr.. Cary said yesterday. Until
we have an opportunity to
check the whole thing out we're
Just taking necessary precau-
tons. There's no indication
that people should 60 out and

Mr.. Cary said it isn't GER
tain whether the rabid hamster
was infected while at the breed

was purchased, or after it was

WINCHESTER, Va, Mar. IS
(AP).-Nineteen days ago. one
or more persons viciously
stabbed to death two women
in a modest but pleasant cot
tage near Double Toll Gate, q
tiny community eight miles
south Of Winchester.
The many knife wounds that
struck Mrs. Waltine Naomi
Hoover, AZ, and her mother,
Mrs. e. M. Snow, IS, were in
flicted with viciousness and
with heavy force.
Investigating authorities have
not come up with a prime sus-
pect.
What's more. they don't have
a clear-cut motive. The lack Of
any sort Of reason for the crime
is making their chore that
much more difficult.
$1,000 Reward Posted
A $1,000 reward has been Of
fered by an anonymous person
for information leading to the
arrest and conviction Of the
killer.
Authorizes have given Denis
Hoover, husband Of the younger
woman and principal Of Ste
phens City school, q clean bill.

monwealth's attorney Joseph A.
Massie. IT.. "for every single
minute Of Mr.. Hoover's COM
ings and going from the time
he arrived at school that morn
ing until the telephone call
came after the murders were
committed"
At Mr.. Hoover's request. he |
was given q lie detector test
covering not only the circum-
stances surrounding the slay-
ings but his private and family
life as well. The results, Mr..
Massie said, were completely
negative - indicating he was
telling the truth.
Cry For Hep
Here. briefly, is a review Of
the case:
About 1855 pm. on Monday,
February IS, the Stephens City
telephone operator erceived q
call from the Hoover home.
That telephone exchange is
non-dial; when q person picks
up the receiver, the operator
answers.
The telephone operator recog-
nized the voice as that Of Mrs.
Snow.
Help usl Someone's trying
to kill usl"
Then the connection was
broken.
But the operator remembered
hearing a woman's screams in
the background.
The operator Immediately |
called first the State Police at
Stephens City and then Mr..
Hoover, at the school.
There's trouble at your
house." she told him. He asked
her to ring his home telephone.
There was no answer.
He hung up and hurried
home.
Mr.. Hoover said later he as
sumed the call meant his moth
er-in-law. Mrs. Snow, who had
q heart condition, had had q
heart attack.
He arrived at his house about
2:l0 pm. He noticed as he
walked toward the house there
were no tire tracks in the I'M
paved driveway. wet from melt
ing snow.
He found Mrs. Snow In the
dining room, slumped on the
floor beside the telephone. I'M
conscious.
He saw blood on her head
and on a radiator close by. He
said he first thought. she had
fallen and struck her head on
the radiator.
While Mr.. Hoover was call
ing the rescue squad, a State
trooper arrived.

BOTH PULL UPSETS
Grant and Ball Reach
Seniors Tennis Finals

Father Son semifinal match
between Wa hington area
teams. The McNairs play the
SteeleS, who advanced earlier,
for the title at / pm. today.
An overflow crowd, one Of
Edgemoor's largest in years,
cheered almost every move by
Grant, the 5-foot-4, 139-pound
wizard, as he blunted Hoff-
mans power game with spins,
chops and half-lobs.
The Steele-Ball affair pro-
duced the long rallies, but the
Grant match produced the
most interest. Little Bitsy al
ways livens up things. He
chats with the crowd, twists
in anguish at a missed shot
and is so clever that even the
rankeSt novice appreciates his
def racket touch.
The drama came midway in
his match. After winning the
first set handily, Grant ap-
peared alarmingly to be run
ming out Of puff when he lost
five of the last six games in
the second set. Although they
took a 10-minute rest period
between the sets, 1t didn't seem
long enough for BitSy.
Grant Charges Back
Hoffman, opened the third
set by blasting through Bitsy's
service without the loss of a
point for a 10 lead. Then sur
denly the match took a pin
wheel turn. Hoffman, dou-
ble-faulted twice, lost his serv-
ice, and Bitsy came charging
back.
II Hoffm a nm, nicknamed
the Iron Man" for his stamina,
who began to yield. Bitsy
quickly ran off four straight
games. Three good passing
shots made it five games in a
row and another service break
for a 5-1 lead. Then, with the
loss of only one point, Bitsy
closed it out on his own service,
completing a run Of six straight
winning games.
Ball, with Just a few excur-
sions to the net, kept the pres
sure on Steele for his upset,
which reversed last years title
match. The New York school
team built UP a quick So lead
in the first set, watched 1t dis
appear, but then came back to
win, breaking Steele's service at
love in the 18th game.
There were service breaks in
seven of the 10 games in the
second set, including the last
three games. Ball actually won
it by holding his service in the
seventh game for a 4-3 lead.
Steele, who won the senior
hardcourts title earlier at La
Jolla, Calf, and had been
hoping for a grand slam Of
senior outdoor titles, said he
lacked the finishing shots. I'D
