Several Contractors
Cited on 'Inf|ationary
Wage Charges

Several shipbuilding contractors
In Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, Atlantic City and several
cities in the Lehigh Valley section
Of Pennsylvania have been cited to
appear at hearings before Regional
Wage Sterilization Board No. at
Philadelphia on charges that they
violated Wage Adjustment Board
regulations.
Sterilization Board Chairman j.
Perry Horlacher announced today
that more than so such hearings
have been scheduled or authorized
in a drive against payment Of in
f1ationary wage rates in the in
dustry. He did not disclose the
names OF the contractors or the
dates OF hearings. Several contract
ors cited earlier for hearings have

that the hearings involve payment
of wages and other wage practices
in violation Of the rates established
by WAB for mechanics and labor
ers on construction jobs. These
rates for the various Job classifica-
tions, he said, were determined by
joint action of labor, industry and
public representatives on the WAB
and are enforced by regional Wage
Sta biltzatiofIs Boards.
bui1dfng and construction
industry is the only one in which
direct wage controls which existed
during the war have been con-
tinued, Mr.. Horlacher said.

CoImar Manor Man
Burned in Boat Blast

A Prince Georges County man
was critically burned while his COM
panion escaped unhurt when a A.
foot cabin cruiser exploded and
burned yesterday at Woodland
Beach, about 9 miles south of An
napolls.
Lewis Carter. ys6,, of s6O5 Forty
third avenue, Colmar Manor, oper-
ator of an air conditioning business,
suffered first-degree burns about the
body. His companion, Miss Erna C.
Neidecker, 81, of 4511 Burlington
road, Hyattsville, telephone oper-
stor, escaped uninjured.
Mr.. Carter was admitted to Emer-
gency Hospital, Annapolis.
Anne Arundel County police said
the boat had just received a full
tank of gasoline and was drifting
away from the wharf when Mr.. Car
ter started the motor. An explosion,
apparently generated from gas
fumes in the bilge, set the boat on
fire. Mr.. Carter and his companion
managed to jump to the pier.
The explosion sent debris high In
the air. The Woodland Beach VOL
unteer Fire Department was unable
to extlnguish the flames until the
craft had burned to the water line.
T1mmerman's Boat Dock said the
boat, owned by Mr.. Carter, was
valued at $4,000.

Botson Faces Big Job to Rewin
Tree Growth Lost in War

forester TO teaCn recognized Sa1eCy
techniques to his climbers.
On the mechanical side, Mr.. Bat
son is shopping around for new
gasoline-powered tree hole digger to
speed up planting and replanting
of trees. To cost about $4,000, the
machine digger will treble the num-
ber of holes now dug manually each
day.
10000 Gaps to Fill.
In addition to replanting every
tree removed incident to highway
widening projects, Mr.. Batson in
tends to fill the estimated 10000
gaps which wartime shortages
opened in existing tree lines. He
also plans a restudy of treeless
downtown E and G streets to deter
mine whether putting back long
absent oaks or ginkgos Is practi-
cable.
In his replanting program. Mr..
Batson will adhere to a policy
adopted several years ago Of sub
stituting slow-growing, long Lived
hardwood trees for faster-growing
but less hardy types. Thus the
gradual elimination of such trees
as the silver maple in favor Of Nor
way NAPLES, red oaks and American
elms will continue.
At the same time, his men will be
making a respacing study of the
older treed sections, such as George
town, with a view to lengthening
the now too-close gap between trees
from 80 feet out. to 50 or. 80 feet in
the interest of the trees health and
their scenic value.
He win have plenty Of trees ready
for the planned expansion when
fall weather makes transplanting
possible. A February inventory Of
the city's two nurseries at TT. Du-
pont and Poplar Point showed 6,632
trees ready to be moved into the
streets. Untold thousands more were
terminating in seed beds.
