(International) Search Widens for Missing Young Model Hollywood OP) The search for a pissing 19-year-old model who posed ' for pin-up pictures and was feared a possible "love captive" widened Saturday with detectives reporting only one possible new lead in the case. Officers said a motorist had reporte l he gave a ride Friday night to a girl who closely re sembled pictures of missing Mrs. Judy Ann Van Horn Dull, moth er of a year-old daughter. The unidentified man said he gave the girl a ride because she mo tioned to him for aid when two men in a sports car pulled up to a corner where she stood and tried to engage her in conversa tion. The motorist said the girl told him she was a model. He said he dropped her at a fash ionable Hollywood night club. The girl vanished Thursday when she left her apartment with a man who said he was a photographer and contracted with her to pose for pin-up pic tures at his studio, detectives said.

Wl A University of Illinois landscape specialist advises those seeking lush, green lawns to "replace grass with other-plants in spots where grass simply will not grow." "There are many types of ground covers," said H. R. Kem- merer, who pointed out that ground covers are especially use ful on slopes. "They prevent erosion and don't have the burnt-out appear ance that grass often has in such areas," he explained. "Ground covers also can be used under ktrees and between the walk and the house." Kemmerer suggested purple leaf . euonymus which . has green leaves in summer and turns purplish red in fall and winter as one "ground cover." "The leaves remain on this plant the year around," he said. "It can be grown either in sun or shade and grows in any type of soil." Other plants suggested by Kemmerer for replacing grass in difficult soil or terrain were: Myrtle can not be grown in sandy or other dry soil but slays green all year. Prostrate Japanese juniper Fairly expensive but provides close ground cover even in dry soil. English ivy Looks like house ivy and can be grown in sun or shade. ' Hall's Japanese honeysuckle can be grown in sun or shade and in any soil. Should be used mostly for banks or other large areas. Aberdeen Post Office Safe Poses Problem Aberdeen, Wash. OP) For a time Friday the wanted sign was out for a qualified safe cracker at the Aberdeen Post Office. Postmaster George D. Magee couldn't open his safe.

Magee sent out a call to the General Services commission in Seattle for a safe expert. A jack-hammer was brought in to action and chewed its way through 12 inches of steel mesh and concrete in the top of the safe, allowing the safe expert to crawl inside and open the safe. - .
