COUNTY MOVES
TO PURCHASE
SIX BRIDGES

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Dec.
Negotiations have been started
by the Prince Georges County
Board of Commissioners for the
purchase of six overpaSSeS on
county and State roads over the
abandoned Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis railroad.
The commissioners bid Of 500
for the bridges made several weeks
ago was accepted by the Boston
Iron Company of Baltimore, which
purchased the equipment of the
electric line at the time the road
was abandoned several years ago.
The bridges were taken over by
the county as safety move, mem
bers of the board said. The over
passes were built and maintained
by the railroad company, but the
repairs had ceased with the aban.
donment of the line. Procure
ment of the bridges by the county
was necessary before the commits
SionerS would have jurisdiction to
institute needed repairs.
The oVerpasses to be bought are
located at the end of the Addison
Chapel Road, in Seat Pleasant;
Sheriff Road, at Huntsville; Land
over Road, near Columbia Park;
Defense Highway, near Buena
Vista; Branchville Road, near
Bowie, and the Laurel Road at

CCC KEPT BUSY
FIGHTING FIRES
International News Service

International News Service
Forest fires, widespread through
out timberland because of the
extensive drought. brought 1,0O9,-
227 man-days of forest fire fight
ing for the Civilian Conservation
Corps in the first nine months Of
this year, Director Robert Fechner
revealed today.
This was more time than the
CCC had put in fighting fires in
any one year since the emergency
conservation program was launch
ed in 1888. Fechner said:
"The 1886 forest fire fighting
season has been the most haZ-
ardOus which the CCC has faced.
A severe series of fires in the
South during the early spring
prompted the first call for en-
rOlleeS in large numbers.
During the summer and
early fall, hundreds Of thou
sands of man-dayS were ex-
pended by CCC men fighting
fires in the northern lake States
and in Montana, Wyoming, Ida
no and South Dakota. During
the late fall, fires in Oregon and
other sections of the West fur
nished emergency fire fighting
work for thousands Of en-
.rOlIees."
Hundreds of CCC men still are
fighting fires in oregon and Wash
ington. Director Fechner said,
while more thousands are engaged
in removing fire hazards.
He added:
despite the increased haZ-
ards of an abnormal fire fight
ing season, casualties among
CCC fire-fighting personnel have
been few.
"T am confident that the low
accident rate and the gOOd &C
count which enrOlIees have
given of themselves on the fire
fighting lines is due to special
training that has been given,
and to the capable leadership
OF the forest service and ma
tiOnal park field personnel"
Special classes in fire fighting
we're held in all camps located in
wooded areas, and only expert
enced men were assigned to fire
fighting duties. the director said.
Since the CCC was established,
enrollees have put in more than
100000 man hours in fighting
forest fires.

HOPE TO SETTLE
STEEL STRIKE

DETROIT, Dec. l G.N.S).
Early settlement of the "sit
down" strike of more than 900
union employees at the Midland
Steel Products Company here was
in prospect today as officials Of
the company and representatives
of the strikers resumed negotia-
tionS.
A. L. Faulkner, Federal labor
conciliator, was to sit in at the
conference today and seek a
final adjustment. Only a dispute
over a proposed pay increase
which would average about 10
cents an hour remained to be
ironed out, it was learned. The
confereeS were noncommittal, but
it was learned they hoped for an
early settlement.
Meantime. officials of large
automobile company here denied
they were forced to halt opera
tions because of shortage Of
supplies from Midland, an import
ant parts manufacturer. opera
tions at Midland were at stand
still as the 900 employees still held
possession of the plant. A total
of 2.100 men and women were
idle,
The strikers were represented
by the United Automobile Work
ers' Union affiliated with the
committee on industrial organi-
Zation.
