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. Investigators developed the
"love captive" theory after the
photographer's telephone num
ber proved to be fictitious. Mrs.
Dull shared the apartment with
Betty Carver, 18.
The missing girl is estranged
from her husband, Robert Dull,
24, of nearby La Crescenta, offi
cers said.
House Revamps
Bill on Planting
Washington P The
House revamped and returned to
the Senate Saturday a bill to
relax wheat planting restrictions
on poultry and dairy farmers
and other noncommercial grow
. ers.
The bill would allow any
farmer to plant and harvest up
to 30 acres of wheat without a
government planting allotment
so long as all the wheat is con
sumed on his farm.
Under present production con
trols, farmers who harvest more
than 15 acres of wheat without
a planting allotment are subject
to a heavy penalty tax for each
bushel produced.

Specialist Advises
New Ground Coyer
Champaign. 111. 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. Neither
could the assistant postmaster
or postal clerks.
The safe held paychecks of
the local postal staff, stamps,
the master key for stamp meters
and other paraphernalia.
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. - .
