Leland Junior High
Addition Authorized

The Montgomery County Com
missioners today authorized the
Board of Education to ask for bids
for construction of four-room ad-
dition to the Leland Junior High
School in Bethesda, the cost to ap-
proximate $l23 900.
In making the authorization, how
ever, the commissioners requested
to 80 word" the request for bids
that a minimum of 10 days shall
elapse before the opening of the
bids and the awarding Of the con-
tract.
The commissioners said during
this period school and county OH
Gals could confer as to the advisa-
bility of constructing the addition
at this time on the Leland site.
I'VE understand" the commits
sioners said, that the purpose OF
the new Leland addition is to allow
the transportation of students from
the Glen Echo and Cabin John
areas"
The commissioners added that
they are aware of sentiment for
construction of a school to serve
this area near the intersection of
River road, Massachusetts, avenue
and Goldsboro road, and not on the
extensively developed" Leland site

Nearby Maryland Gets
Pickup Bus Service

Greyhound Bus Lines have been
authorized by the Maryland Public
Service Commission to pick UP
passengers between the District line
on Bladensburg road and Hyattsville
until such time as the Capital
Transit Co. is ready to resume this
service, Mrs. Betty Tayman, secre-
tary Of the Prince Georges County
Central Transportation Committee,
has been informed.
All buses going north and south
will pick up and discharge passen-
gers at Cottage City, Colmar Manor
and Bladensburg, C. c. Battershell,
Greyhound regional manager here,
said. The new service also will pro-
vide transportation for Cheyerly
area residents wishing to go to
Hyattsville.
MIR. Battershell said the Grey
hound Lines asked the Public Service
Commission for permission to pro-
vide transportation for areas that
had none. Greyhound buses now
are authorized to give local service
north of Hyattsville.
Authorization of the new service
eliminates an energetic fight on the
part OF various groups In the county
for transportation between Hyatts-
vile and Bladensburg, Cheverly,
Comar Manor, Cottage City and
nearby points.
Mr.. Battershell said, however, the
route via Bladensburg would be un-
able to operate in flood conditions.

Plans have been completed for
scientific cooperation" between the
University of Maryland and the
Naval Ordnance Laboratory under
construction along Paint Branch in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. The arrangement is ex-
pected to make the university an i'm
portant physics and electricity re-
search center.
The tie-up, as outlined by DR.. H. C.
Byrd, university president, in let
ter to Capt. w. G. SCHNEIDER, in
charge of the laboratory, will per-
NIT graduate students at the uni
versity to work in the naval project,
while scientists attached to the lab
oratory will have an opportunity to
continue their training at the uni
versity. ...
In his letter DR.. Byrd pointed out
that the Navy scientists will be able
to avail themselves of the facilities
of some of the laboratories to be
constructed in the 100000 engi-
neering and aeronautical Science
plant which the university is about
to erect, with the aid of a gift from
Glenn l.. Martin.
These laboratories, according to
DR.. Byrd, should afford possibilities
for the solution of problems that will
not be available at the Naval Ord
nance Laboratory.
Aid in Acquiring Degrees.
Brilliant young scientists in the
fields of physics and electricity that
the Navy will bring to Maryland to
work in its laboratory should thus
get an opportunity to take a minor
in related fields and to obtain their
doctors degrees while serving the
Government in research projects"
DR.. Byrd said.
ION the other hand, the Navy
plant will provide university SCI
eptists with opportunities for re-
search in physics and electricity
beyond anything now available in
the world"
DR.. Byrd explained that arrange
ments will be made under which
credit toward advanced degrees will
be given for work done In the
Naval Laboratory, while some Navy
problems are pretty sure to be de-
veloped in the related university
laboratories"
In replying to DR.. Byrd's letter
Capt. SCHNEIDER expressed gratiflca-
ton at this evidence that our close
neighbor, the University of Mary
land, joins with us in the program
designed to guarantee the security
of this country"

Sunday Ruled
Part Of Federal
Work Week
Warren Decisions
Assure Overtime for
Fractions of Hours
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

A series OF rulings establishing
Sunday as part of the basic Federal
work week and guaranteeing Gov
eminent employees regular time
and -a-half rates for fractional hours
worked overtime been issued by
Controller General Lindsay c. War
rem.
Issued in the last few days in
response to inquiries by various
Government agencies, the rulings
are expected to clarity many of the
problems and questions raised by
the new Federal pay act.
Under the Interpretation of the
pay act, Government employees can
be required to work at any time dur
ing the week, including Sunday
That day would be considered on the
same basis as any other day-one
of the days making up the basic
administrative work week of 40
hours.
Essential to Some.
The law states the basic admins
trative work week shall be worked
during not more than six of the
seven calendar days. Usually the
40-hour week Is worked during five
days, Monday through Friday, with
overtime worked on Saturday.
In signing the pay bill last month,
President Truman expressed the hope
that, wherever possible, the basic
40-hour week would be worked Mon
days through Friday. However, some
agencies have reported 1t Is essential
to their operations to have some
of their employees work on Sunday.
1t the employee has already work.
ed 40 or more hours during the week,
payment for Sunday would be on a
time half overtime basis.
This, too, would be the same pay
ment as for work on any other day
of the week which brought the work
week over 40 hours.
Collect on Fraction.
In regard to fractional overtime
pay, the comptroller general held
overtime and night differential pay
may be paid for overtime work in
periods of Is minutes. For example
a worker who has worked a fraction
of an overtime hour is entitled to
time-and-a-half compensation, for
the time, whether the period worked
Is Is, 80 or As minutes.
In another ruling, the comptroller
general held any employe who trans
fers from one agency to another in
the middle of the week is not en-
titled to overtime pay from either
since he does not work more than 40
hours for either agency.

Working on Plan
To Raise Hawaii Mars
From Chesapeake
BY the Associated Press.

ROCK HALL, Md, Aug. THE
Navy worked today on plans for
salvaging the 721a ton Hawaii Mars,
which split her hull and sank in
Chesapeake Bay after rough land
ing Sunday, but there was little
prospect that work on raising the
big craft would start for several
days.
The official explanation for the &C
cident, made by the Glenn L. Mar
tin Co. which is building 20 of the
worlds largest flying boats, was that
the craft developed "roughness"
while undergoing very serious
engineering tests" at 5000 feet alti-
tude.
The Martin spokesman said the
cause of the "roughness" was not
known. The flying boat had COM
pleted II hours testing and was due
for 80 more before being turned over
to the Navy, for which the airplanes
are being built.
However, the second boat of the
series is nearly ready and will begin
tests shortly.
The Martin Co. said that every
piece of. structure Gin the Hawaii
Mars was tested and went beyond
requirements. If it was structural
failure, we don't know what it was"
One man VINO was aboard the
ship said section of the planes
vertical tail fin broke away and
that the ship began to f1utter i'm
mediately and went out of control"
The Martin spokesman said the
ship sank as the result of bad
landing" caused by the "roughness. "
1t. Comdr. William E. Coney, the
pilot, said "It took hell of a lot
of muscle to bring her down, and
that meant the combined strength
Of myself and co-pilot."
Bringing the ship down In circles
made 1t impossible to land properly,
and the ship struck the water side
ways in a skid which carried of
the right wingtip and pontoon.
Then the ship heeled over to the
left, ripping of the right pontoon,
he said.
I'VE couldn't keep her straight
and we spun in circles on the
water. That is what caused the
loose objects In the place to fly all
about and that is what shook the
men UP So"
The Mars now lies in 20 feet of
water, with only part of her tail
assembly and part Of her right wing
protruding. Newsmen said the
metal skin on the vertical fin was
literally shredded and that the tip
of the right wing also was broken
on. One man, Flight Engineer r. S.
Noble, suffered cuts and bruises.

Paralysis Outbreak
Much Less Severe
This Year Than in IA

The infantile paralysis outbreak
has slowed down. and in addition
43 per cent of the cases reported
have been nonparalytic, the Health
Department announced today.
Analysing So cases occurring in
the District and nearby counties
since the first Of the year, the de-
partment said the trend does not
seem to be abruptly upward, as it
was year ago"
Only three cases were reported
last week, for example, as compared
to five the week before and nine
cases three weeks ago. Nine cases
were reported in the week of Au-
gust last year.
The high percentage of nonpar-
alytic cases is encouraging, DR..
Daniel Seckinger, acting head Of the
department, said. He pointed out
that there have been only three
deaths so far this year, as compared
to six at this time last year.
There have been more cases so
far this year, however, but that is
because the outbreak occurred ear
lier this summer, DR.. Seckinger ex-
planned. If only few cases are re-
ported in succeeding weeks, DR.. C. C.
Dauer of the department said. the
outbreak can definitely be said to
be on the wane.
The total of cases now has risen
to 81, 80 from the District and 81
from counties nearby. Through last
week there were % from the Dis
trict and 80 from the counties. In
1914 through the period comparable
to last week there had been % Dis
trict cases and II from out of town.
OF the 80 county cases reported
this year through last week, 81 are
from Maryland and 9 from Vir-
ginia. OF the II last year IA were
from Maryland and 8 from vir-
ginia.
Fifty per. cent of the cases were
children 10 years or over. Eight of
the cases were adults over 20.
