Declaring that various incorpo-
rated towns in Prince Georges
County are attempting to annex
adjacent areas without the consent
OF residents of those areas, the
County Federation of Citizens As
sociations last night demanded that
public hearings be held in Hyatts-
vile on all bills pending in the leg
islature which would authorize such
action.
Meeting in the Bladensburg High
School. the federation also urged
that hearings be held on any issues
affecting the rights and privileges
OF county residents"
The federation requested the
County Chamber of Commerce to
support its action. A resolution ap-
pealing to Gov. OConor to veto

three adjacent subdivisions was
being made without acquainting

subdivisions affected are East
Riverdale, Gretta and Springbrook
Terrace. with approximately 800
residents.
Riverdale Plan Cited.
He pointed out that residents of
the three areas had been promised
garbage collection even though
Riverdale itself has no garbage COL
lection, and accused the town of
1efusing to hold a public hearing on
the matter,
In addition. he asserted that
the annexation would change the
boundaries of the town without CIV
ing residents an opportunity to vote
on such change.
Similar proposals have been made
by Mount Rainier and Cheverly.

Frank Fierstein, was appointed to
investigate delays in construction of
the new county hospital in Cheverly.

Mach. Shops By Old Glory

At the suggestion of, and through the efforts of MT. Achangel, ma chinist in Dept. BOP, Main Yard, American flags are now flying on practically all the machines in Dept. BOP and 3O7.
 The flags were paid for by all those from the shop, of the day shift main yard, who were willing to contribute.
 MT. Archangel says there are at the present time about 110 flags flying. Although these two depart ments are the only ones to do such thing, it Is felt that other depart ments will soon follow suit.
 MT. Archangel also states that he thought this representation of Old Glory would not only brighten up the department, but would also be an incentive for all employees to keep this flag flying.

Discuss Problems At WelderS Meet

The Shipbuilders & Marine En- gineers Union held an open weld CTS meeting on Sunday, June 6, 1943, at the Groton American Le- zion Hall on Cottage Street. There was a small but very enthusiastic group in attendance who enjoyed full open and complete discus- sion of the special problems of the welders and how the Inde- pendent Union is operating.
 As a result of a full and clear understanding Independent Union activity among the welders has been greatly increased and when a new contract Is being made the welders will be properly repre- scented and their conditions will be adequately taken care of.
 Welders have had extremely unsatisfactory experiences with the CIO in the past. Under pre- text of organizing their own Union they were brought together and dues were collected, then their own Union suddenly disappeared and the welders were asked to sign up with the CIO. Most of them have never received back their dues.

Alabama Yard Violence In

At the Pinto Island Yard of the Alabama Dry Dock and Shipbuild- ing Company near Mobile. Ala- bama, shipyard production was se- riously endangered and affected when workers became involved in race violence incidents.
 A number of workers were inr- iured in disorders and troops had to be called in for protection of person and property.
 A stoppage of work was finally ended when all workmen agreed to return to work pending approval in Washington of an agreement which was designed to end differ ences. @
 The entire matter was another vivid example of the incompetent and irresponsible handling oe working conditions by national union professional organizers who do not work side by side with their fellow employees and cannot offer the workers good leadership.

Heating Plant
By R. Gilbert Gardner

Now that warm weather seems assured, it's fitting that I write not of hot things like furnaces, steam, etc, but cool things Right now, folks are trying to keep cool-to find a cool spot-to corner a cool drink and enjoy 1t.
 Mostly the steam in the Heating Plant, except to the boats, is on vacation. The rasp of the shovel and the clank of furnace doors are on the wane. The birds in the peak are chirping. Summer is here.
 Now, in the category of cool things, I place fan-tailed pigeons, because of pigeons have fan tails, they should be able to fan them selves cool. MT. Moran, here in the Heating Plant, has fan-tailed pig cons in his back yard at home. Just the other day, he was telling about a Swanky new pigeon-house, of fancy three-hole design, which a kind friend had surprised him with, for his pigeons. MT. Moran's description of his pigeon-house was 90 highly interesting and colorful, that we recommend anybody inter- ested in pigeons, fan-tailed or oth- erwiSe to ask him about this snappy pigeon-house now gracing his premices. MT. Moran can be seen any day on the first shift.

Indies Make New Coal Contracts

Last week a special committed of the Shipbuilders & Marine En- gineers Union met with the coal dealers i'm the New London, Water ford and Groton areas to discuss renewal of the special contract arr engagements between the Indepen- dent Union and the coal dealers.
 Under the special contract ar- rangement which the Independent Union has always had with the coal dealers. members of the Un' ion in good standing receive an extra discount in purchasing coal. All workers who purchase coal can receive a cash discount. In ad- dition to the cash discount there is a group-buying discount exclu- sively for members of the Indepen- der Union members amount to even more that the cost of Union dues in thousands of cases.
 The Independent Union expects to continue to produce savings of thousands of dollars in fuel costs fer it's members.

out that many of the lurid fiction magazines are now seeking men of talent and imagination, in story telling way. This, MT. Collins, is of course intended only in jest; and any answer you may wish to make, we will gladly incorporate into this column, free of charge, next edition. What say?
 From an unquestioned authority a report comes that bandits in the yard are still up to their wicked shenanigans. The latest piece of rascalty perpetrated by them was to cut off and steal the metal noz- gle on a Foamite Extinguisher, thereby rendering the extinguisher useless, and saying, Come on. It's all yours" to any potential fire which might have started at that time and place. Smart work, bandits. But might it be that you are playing with fire which some day may catch and consume you?
 Oh MT. Time Clerk, why did you move the Machine Shop time clock and card-racks way over there to the west side of nowhere? Con- ceivablely, under this arrangement, man working in the Heating Plant could of a morning pass through the Main Fate early, but be late to work, by reason of being done-in by fatigue and distance ere he reaches his card and punches it! And when going out he is com pelled to head away from home for a weary length, attain the tail end of the punching-out line. and stick around, and stick around, before he can even get headed in the right direction to go home. Faint fair. 'Tain't bit fair.

Outfit Is al Years Old

Semipro baseball is big business
with the Bushwicks, recently de-
feated by the Washington Home
stead Grays before 10000 fans at
Griffith Stadium. It's a 41-year-old
outfit organized originally to bally-
hoo cigar but for the past 20
years or so it's done all right just
peddling independent baseball.
Every customer who walks into
Dexter Park to view the Bushwicks
is greeted by 67-year-old Max Ros-
ner, Hungarian immigrant who
has seen his team thrive in direct
competition with the Brooklyn
Dodgers. That greeting, says Bar
rley Nagler in the current Coronet,
extends back to the time when Sum-
day baseball was illegal.
The law prohibited the sale of
tickets to sports events on Sunday,
so RoSner stood at the gate and
sold candy. which became the ad-
mission fee. He was arrested %
successive week ends in 1916, but the
Bushwicks survived.
Rosner has no respect for the
business ability of Babe Ruth. Max
signed Ruth for an exhibition game,
guaranteeing him $1,000, or per-
centage of the gate. Ruth feared
the game wouldn't attract many
spectators so he demanded 81 900 in
advance. The game was sellout

The Navy, much more liberal in

football, Is taken rs an indication
that the Navy has found complete
freedom in that regard not entirely

Basically, the Army's attitude is
that men assigned to colleges for in
tensive classroom work and super

sity sports. On the average, the men
have about six hours leisure a week.
The Army expects the men to par

Only four in all who played var

The other two are Clark Hudak, a
