Police Hunt Youth Who Flashed
Fake Distress Siqnu| to Plane

Greenbelt MD police today were
attempting to learn the identity of
youth who last night combined
his knowledge of Morse code and a
f1ashlight to bring seven pieces of
fire equipment, three ambulances
and Prince Georges County, State
and town police to the Greenbelt
ball park in response to a fake dis

Also involved in the confusion
were two commercial transport
planes, Washington police, Ma
tional Airport officials and approx
mately 5000 Greenbelt residents
who focked to the scene when they
heard the police and ambulance
sirens.
Greenbelt Police Chief George
Panagoulis said it all started when
an unidentified boy attending a
softball game at the park aimed
his f1ashlight at the sky and started
flashing an SOS in Morse code.
An American Air Lines plane en-
route to New York from Washington
picked up the signal and radioed
National Airport officials, who called

pertinent.
Both expressed their satisfaction
with the outcome and were pleased
that the new DDT in water suspen-
sion did not kill one fish in the
area, although considerable
amount of the underwater insect
life was destroyed.
The results are in contrast to
former tests and experience in the
use of DDT suspended in oil. The
scientists were hopeful that the
water suspension method would
prove more satisfactory because it
is cheaper and easier to handle.
Previous experience with the DDT
suspended in oil showed that large
numbers of fish were killed.
Mr.. Surber is aquatic biologist at
the fish hatcheries at Leetown, and
DR.. Hoffman represents the United

Solution 10 Pay Cut
OF State Employees
Sought by 0'Conor
sy the Assooiofed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July 27.-Many
State employees, faced with higher
living costs, are receiving lower pay
checks in July than during last year,
and Gov. O'Conor said yesterday he
Is trying to correct the situation.
He said he was consulting with
legal advisers to see whether the
Board of Public Works cannot act
to solve the problem which resulted
from a good-hearted legislative
bonus of $3.50 to State workers.
1t was Chief Deputy Controller
Joseph O'C. McCusker who disclosed
the lower salary problem.
He explained it this way:
The l945 General Assembly appro-
priated money for $180 bonus to
State workers, spread over the 1916
or 1947 fiscal years or both.
1t tackled onto the bonus these
conditions: the employees salary
must be less than $4,000; any in
crease he got above $4,000 would be
deducted from his bonus and any
promotion resulting in raise would
cut out just that much of the bonus.
The bonus went to regular State
salaried employees, per diem Roads
Commission workers and returning
veterans but not to most employees
who received State maintenance.
A large number, which Mr.. McCus-
ker said he could not estimate, re-
ceived their bonuses over the 1916
fiscal year in mi-monthly pay
ments.
Thus. when June 80 came, the
bonus increase was used up and the
July checks went back to the 1945
rate except for the normal S per cent
annual raise.
