S35-a-Week Sentries
Face Loss Of Jobs
In Maryland
Can Serve Only 90 Days
Unless Merit System
Is Set Aside
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 23.-The Sun
said today that State Roads Com
mission employees sworn into the
State Guard in order to collect their
pay" are receiving $35 a week to
guard Maryland bridges and other
sensitive points"
Starting out as a small force.
ostensibly only to guard the States
two toll bridges. the roster Of the
special sentry personnel had grown
by February Is to 431 men, who were
paid $23, TAP for the two-week period
ended that date, or at the rate of
nearly 100000 a year." the paper
said.
Ruling Held Necessary.
And, unless the State Law De-
partment comes forward with a
ruling setting aside merit system
statutes, they'll start losing their
jobs on April Is.
THE men have been appointed
for 90-day periods only, under a
merit system statute which makes it
mandatory upon Harry c. Jones,
State employment commissioner, to
approve emergency employment,
although the same statute, as Mr..
Jones interprets it, is mandatory
that the employment cease after
80 days"
The Sun said it was understood
Mr.. Jones had served notice on the
State Roads Commission" that he
would not approve any more such
appointments, which began jan
uary and between January 81 and
February Is jumped from $50 to
49," but had asked the Law Depart
ment how the men would be replaced
at the end of the 80 days.
Few Enlisted in Guard.
"Few of the 431 on the roster as
members Of this special detail were
enlisted in the State Guard, in
which privates receive $125 a day,
prior to January 5 when the IS per
diem pay plan was put into effect, :"
the newspaper continued.
It said Mr.. Jones had insisted upon
the men being enlisted in the State
Guard as qualification ''tn lieu
of examination" for appointment,
and that If the positions are to be
continued after the 80 days, the en-
ployment commissioner must hold
and appointments
must be made under the merit sys-
tenn from an eligible list.
Estimating that the special guard
detail would cost 81 900 900 this year,
State Senator Louis N. PhippS, DEM
ocrat, of Anne Arundel on Saturday
urged Gov. O'Conor to seek Federal
troops to replace them and save the
State from possible financial ruin"
