Washington flJ.PJ Sen.
Olin D. Johnston (D-S.C.) wants
to put Capitol page boys under
t ' j4"?, one roof with
to look after
them.
The senator
introduced a
perennial bill
Tuesday aijned
at protecting
the pages from
wickedness i n
Barman Nli-noli tne Dig Ctiy. II
calls for planning a dormitory
for them.
The young men, who range in
age from 14 to 18, are now scat
tered around town in rooming
houses.
Johnston told the Senate the
pages often are exposed to "ex
orbitant rents" as well as "the
vils of a large city."
"Not only that," a spokesman
in Johnston's office said, "there
is no way to check up on playing
hookey. A lot of landladies don't
much care what happens so long
as the board and room is paid."
Conduct of the kids, all of
whom are carefully screened, "is
a reflection on the Senate and
the House of Representatives,"
he said. "After all, these boys
are government employees."
Plenty of Work
Actually, if the boys work
hard at what they are paid for
they hardly could find time to
get into trouble. Take an ordi
nary day:
Shaving is no problem for
most of the young men. But
showers are and they must be
over with in time for the first
class at 6:30 a.m. at the page
boy's school in the Library of
Congress.
The youngsters pore over their
books until 9:45, gathering
knowledge in English, mathe
matics, science, American his
tory, U. S. government and other
assorted things aimed at im
proving the mind.
Goal of the kids, who must
wear blue suits and dark ties
and say "Yes, sir and no, sir," is
to prepare them for college.
Final Check
When classes are dismissed,
the pages cut kitty-corner across
the Capitol grouhds to the Sen
ate and the Hoyse to see that
writing implements are in order
and that no dusty flakes have
settled on the polished desks of
their leaders since the char
women shucked their aprons and
headed home.
Then they spend the afternoon
running errands for senators and
congressmen.
Of course when their leaders
are in temporary recess for lunch
the pages occasionally have a
little fun.
It isn't unusual to see a half
dozen of them sitting behind the
mahogany desks in the Senate
imitating some well-known po
litical types.

McDonald Kidnap
Jury Refuses To
Issue Indictments
Hollywood U.R) Refusal by
the Los Angeles county grand
jury to issue "John Doe" indict
ments in the kidnaping case of
Marie (The Body) McDonald
spelled a setback today for both
the shapely blonde and police.
Both lost prime objectives by
the grand jury refusal Tuesday
and the bizarre case appeared
as unresolved as ever.
Both Sides Fail
Miss McDonald failed to get
the indictments that she asked
against her two abductors, which
she wanted as an answer to po
lice skepticism concerning her
kidnaping and police failed in
their attempt to establish that
the case was a possible hoax.
But Jerry Giesler, Miss Mc
Donald's attorney, indicated he
felt police had scored some suc
cess when no indictments were
issued for the two swarthy men
the actress said kidnaped her
last Jan. 4, held her captive for
24 hours and then released her
on the desert.
Giesler said he thought police
threw a monkey wrench into the
possible issuance of indictments
by throwing in last-minute wit
nesses at Tuesday's closing ses
sion of a three-day hearing into
the case.
Majority in Favor
"It is quite obvious that the
majority of the jury was in fa
vor of the indictments," Giesler
said. 'That's the reason why po
lice brought in witnesses and
testimony in an attempt to
change the minds of one or two
jurors and apparently they were
successful in their plan."
The grand jury refused to is
sue indictments despite stating
its belief that "a serious crime
might have been committed" in
the abduction of the actress, and
urged police to continue work
on the case. The refusal to in
dict was the last official act of
the 1956 jury.

Bathroom in Package Prize-Winning Idea
Stillwater, Okla. (U.R) A
bathroom in a package is the
prize-winning idea of an Okla
homa A&M college architect stu
dent. Kinney E. Coleman, senior stu
dent from Okemah, Okla., thinks
a bathroom of molded plastic,
made in two pieces, will be fea
tured in the house of the future.
"The home builder would make
his selection of the whole bath
room at a salesroom, not just
the separate parts as he now
does," Coleman said. "The two
halves would then be taken to
the new home location and put
together on the job."
Coleman's design, which won
first place in the Society of the
Plastics Industry, Inc., home de
sign contest, calls for walls, win
dow frames, shelves and fixtures
to be molded in plastic. Only the
metal operating fixtures would
be added.
