The accident which is the basis
of the litigation, occurred Dec. 8,

reel fell on him, crushing him and
causing instant death, the writ
states. The reel in question is
reported to have weigh $500 pounds

Manual To Speed
Construction Plans
Will Help Authorities To
Secure S tate Financial
Aids, O'COnOr Says

The Maryland Commission on
Post War Reconstruction and De-
velopment has moved TO expedite
the preparation of county and
municipal postwar contraction
plans through the publication of 4
manual detailing the procedure for
applying for State grants for the
preparation of plans and specifica-
tions, Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
has made known.
While the me thod aims at simpli-
city, the Governor said, it also
takes steps to guard against un-
justifiable requests for State plan
ming funds by calling upon the
local governmental unit to cer-
tify that its share of the costs =
at least half = is available, and by
requiring the local legislative body
to adopt resolution guarantee
ing the units participation.
Two preliminary steps toward
obtaining the grants are provided
in the Manual for the local units,
Governor O'Conor emphasized.
1. Make application to the Com
mission on Postwar Reconstruc-
ton and Development, subject
to approval by the Board of Public
Works.
2. Give assurance that the local
share of the costs will be available.
The application to the Commis-
sion, Governor O'Conor said, should
describe the project, give a preli-
minary estimate of its contruc-
tion cost, the value and desiraLi.
lily of the project as a com
munity and postwar project, the
man-years Of employment the pro-
ject may provide and other infor-
nation as indicated on sample
form included in the Manual.
If the Commission approves the
recommendation and favorable ac-
ton is taken on it by the Board
Of Public Work, the Chief Execu-
tive stated, the Board will send the
local governmental unit an offer
for it's acceptance, setting forth the
amount the State will contribute to
the preparation Of plans and speci-
fications.
The local unit will have thirty
days in which to accept the terms

Early Mailing
of Christmas
Gifts Is Slow
Postal Manpower Shortage
Will Be Eased By Novem-
Der Mailing

Public response to the Post Of
flee Departments "Shop Now!
Mail In November" campaign is
good but needs to be better, accord
ing to Postmaster General Frank
c. Walker.
Extraordinary wartime condi-
tions face u.s." Mr.. Walker said.
"Unless more people buy and mail
this month the Postal service can
not do its job of delivering ali
Christmas gifts on time. A''s0
"It is not pleasing to us to have
to ask the American people to mail
packages SO far in advance of the
delivery date. We do so only be-
cause it has to be done. The job is
tremendous one, but we are con-
fident that it will be done because
we know from experience that
given sound reasons America
cooperate magnificently.
Unprecedented shortages OF
man power and transportation ia
cilities growing out of the war
compel early mailing. The Postal
Service mas given $4,000 experien-
ced employees to the armed forces
and 100000 railroad workers have
gone to war. Equally serious is the
fact that rail and other transport
facilities are taxed to the limit
with the great burden of war traf-
fic which all of us know take pre-
cedence.
"In a great numper of our 49,
900 post offices the man power
situation is critical. The 100000
extra workers whom we normally
recruited to handle the swollen
Christmas volume of mail were
able to work long hours of over
time and to do heavy work. This
cannot be expected from the wo-
men and high school boys and girls
to whom in large part we must
look this year to meet the situa-
tion.
"The way in which everyone re
sponded in making it possible foi
us to handle volume of 70,000,00C
parcels for the armed forces over,
seas leaves no doubt in my minG
that the November Christmas mail
ing will be equally succe ssful.
