A. suit seeking to prohibit the
Mayor and Council of College Park
Md. from levying taxes on property
located in the fifth district of the
town was filed today in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court in
Upper Marlboro.
The plaintiffs are John r. and
Myrtle M. Hess, Hollywood, Md; /;

AutoviIle; Robert E. Michel and
Ernest H. CAM, Oak Springs, and
Daniel N. Prosser, Branchville. The
five communities In which the
plaintiffs own-property comprise the
fifth district of College Park.
The plaintiffs claim that the act
passed at the last session Of the
State Legislature, providing for the
corporation of the College Park
area, is contrary to the provisions
Of the Maryland constitution
They contend that the title OF the
act did not provide for property
in the fifth district to be included
in the corporated town and that
the governing body Of the munich
pality does not conform with pro-
visions of the measure.
According to the suit the act pro-
vided for the corporation of College
Park, Calvert Hill, Lakeland and
Berwyn, but did not embrace the
PROPERTY of the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs assert in their suit
that the bill provided that the
government of the corporated town
of College Park be vested in a
Mayor, treasurer, four district coun-
cilmen and two councilnen at large.

 Governor Baldwin has issued a proclamation setting aside this week for observance by Connecti- cut residents. In this proclamation the Governor cited the excellent record of handicapped persons dur ing the war while the able bodied We on the fighting fronts.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that more than 400 handicapped workers had been referred to jobs in Connecticut during the past month. Others are waiting for referral to the right jobs, he said. Many employers so far have been most cooperative in hiring these workers but more jobs for the handicapped are needed to aid applicants at USES. offices, MT. Fitzgerald said.

60 Handicapped Vets Hired Here in Month

In conjunction with National Elm ploy the Physically Handicapped Week, the Waterbury office of the Veterans Administration has already placed a number of disabled World War II veterans in jobs which will give them opportunities to move on to higher positions. Dur ing the past month approximately 60 handicapped ex-servicemen have been secured employment through the efforts of Hector Langevin, training officer in n-charge, and his staff.
 The VA. staff here is not only placing disabled veterans steadily but is also creating a reservoir of job opportunities for veterans who will be seeking employment in the future. The reserve list of jobs is being built up under the supervision of Porter Lyke, Jr, training facility officer.
 The Veterans Advisory Center, of which Joseph Maher is counselor, is cooperating fully in the special week on behalf of the physically handicapped and also in the con- tinuing employment program of the VA.
 From State Headquarters of the VA. at Hartford come recommenda- tions as to the type of placement for each disabled veteran. The local office then makes contacts with various employers to line up spe- cific job in every possible case.

 Storm Causing

Columbia, S. O., Oct. g. (UP)- Winds of near gale velocity battered the middle Atlantic coast today as the tail end of tropical hurricane crept northWard, causing heavy rains throughout the west and cen- tral portions of North Carolina.
 Storm warnings were hcisted from south of Block Island, R. l., to Cape Hatteras, N. C., and the Weather Bureau warned that winds of 30 to 40 miles an hour velocity would strike the middle Atlantic coastal section from Block Island to Nor folk, Va.
 Heavy winds, generally less than 90 miles an hour, would hammer the middle Atlantic states during the day, the Weather Bureau said
 The storm, which was centered west of here, is the final gasps of tropical hurricane that roared up out of the Caribbean Sea Sunday, devastating the western tip of Cuba and causing at least three deaths, The storm hit Florida with dimin- ishing fury Monday night and has been dying out slowly.
 No casualties and only minor damages was caused bp the storm in the United States.

Police Flank NorwoIk Shop
 Guard Against
 New Disorders

Norwalk, Oct. g. (UP)-One hun dred State Police f1anked the plant of the Norwalk Tire & Rubber O., today to prevent a recurrance of violence which broke out late yes- terday as result of an A.FL.-CI.O. jurisdictional dispute.
 Three were hospitalized and six others were arrested before the sit- uation was brought under control.
 The demonstration started when trucks were leaving the loading fatform and the plant yard. Stones smashed the windshield and the driver, James Dudley, West Inf1eld, Me, was taken to a hospital with cuts and slight brain conclus- sion. Others were injured by stones, and all were discharged after treat ment.
 Only four local police were at the plant at the time and an ap- peal was made late in the after noon for State Police. Commissioner Edward J. Hickey rushed 8 detail from WeStport barracks and the disorder was put down. Early today the State Police detail was greatly enlarged and the situation was re- ported quiet"
 The dispute between the AFL.- United Mine Workers and the C.I.O.- United Rubber Workers started about six weeks ago. The C.IO. had unionized the Company's 600 production work CTS who formerly belonged to the A.FL. union. Picketing started Monday by the A.F.L., bringing charges from the C.I.O. that "Goons'' from New York were brought to Norwalk to stir up trouble.

yielded nothing to substantiate charges that cattle growers and packers were creating artificial shortages in an effort to destroy OPA and get higher prices.
 They said any withholding of meat or cattle was a normal eco- homie reaction to the lower prices prevailing since price controls were restored last month. At any rate, they did not find that packers had much meat.
 Truman Urged to Lift Controls
 At the same time, it was learned that at least two Cabinet members are urging President Truman to re- verse Administration policy and abolish meat controls immediately. MT. Truman believes the meat situ- ation will ease up soon and refuses either to raise or remove ceilings now.
 The two Cabinet members pro- posed that suspension of ceilings be for an indefinite period to avoid charges that the move was taken for political purposes. They refer red obviously to proposal by House Democratic Leader John W. McCor- mack, Mass, that controls be lifted for 60 dayS-until few weeks after the elections.
 The two Cabinet members also are urging MT. Truman to take steps to do away with barriers limiting inn portation of meat from Canada and Mexico to relieve the shortage in this country.
 The Justice Department utilized the resources of the FBI, it's crim- inal division and it's antitrust divi- sion in the search for evidence of possible collision to create meat shortages in order to force an end to controls.
 Sound Economics in Policy
 There just was no evidence of such a conspiracy" an official said They didn't have to get together in the growing or packing end of the industry to decide they wanted to keep their products off the market in hope for better price. That's just sound economics on their part. "
 One official said he had received a "very reliable estimate" from a prominent member of the meat in- dustry that even if price controls were removed on meat, it would be 120 days before any sizeable amount would reach the consumer.
 The reason, he said, is that many of the cattle thus far purchased for feeding have not yet been put in the feeder lots and that other cattle are not ready for feeding or slaugh- ter.

down. It appeared probable that in describing Goering as completely broken man he was speaking in 8 general manner without reference to any current change in his con- dition.
 Writes to Dissolved Tribunal
 He said Sauckel, Nazi slave labor boss, had been propounding Scien- ttfic theories both unique and fam tastic. He recommended, Teich said, harnessing the North Sea winds in order to drain the sea and use the land for farming. He also recom- mended that Germany abandon steam and diesel engines in favor of sailing vessels because of the countrys coal and metal shortage.
 Sauckel believes his death sen tence resulted from mistranslation of a single sentence in the evidence that he would squeeze the most out of foreign workers at the least pos sible cost" He has written long letters to the w-dissolved tribunal about that point.
 Teich said Goering, although a broken man, gets no sympathy from his fellow prisoners.
 Sympathize With JOdl
 Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl has the sym pathy of the other Nazis, Teich said, and they think his request for a soldiers death by shooting instead of hanging should be granted.
 The others are hostile toward Marshal Wilhelm Keitel on grounds that he forfeited the right to any consideration by overstepping the bounds of the Prussian military code.
 He said Raeder was worried and depressed by the disappearance of his wife.

Turks Told SteerCIeor Of Russia
 U. s. Britain
 Advise Nation
 On DordoneIIes

London, Oct. g. (UP)-DiplomatiC sources reported today that Great British and presumably the United States had advised Turkey not to enter into direct negotiations with Russia regarding the future of he Dardanelles.
 It was understood at the For eign Office that British and Amer ican diplomats in Ankara were en- gagged in talks with Turkish off, cials concerning the next step in the political skirmish over the fu- ture of the Dardanelles.
 A foreign Office source said Bri- tain and America held high level consultations concerning the latest Soviet proposal for joint Turkish Soviet defense of the Dardanelles- proposal that was construed here as in effect a demand for Soviet military bases on Turkish soil.
 A foreign office source said Bri- tain considers that any Soy ct de- mand for direct negotiations on the Dardanelles between Russia and Turkey would go beyond the pro- vision of a~Potsdam Agreement on the Straits.
 The British view was that Pots dam provided merely for a ore minary exchange of views" on the problem among the big three powers and Turkey.
 A Foreign Office spokesman said the British government emphati- cally did not consider that the Pots dam Agreement provided for Soviet Turkish negotiations.
 He said Britain and America were agreed that the future of the Straits could be decided only by an in ternational conference of the sig natories of the Montreux Conven- ton, with the elimination of Japan and addition of the United States.

MoIotov's s Proposal Defeated
 Conference
 Votes on ItoIv
 Peace Treaty

Far1S, OcC. S-(UP)-Ine Peace Conference rejected to- day a demand by Soviet For eign Minister V. M. Molotov that it set a specific and early date for the withdrawal of all Anglo American occupation forces from the Trieste area.
 The conference was voting one by one on the 80 sections of the Italian treaty draft after the conclusion of general debate.
 Early in the balloting the Con- ference approved the Big Four com promise boundary line between Italy and Yugoslavia. Thus it ignored a Yugoslav threat to refuse to sign the Italian treaty unless certain frontier demands were met.
 Straight East-West Vote
 The vote was straight east against west diviSion-six for the Soviet amendment and IA against, with Ethiopia sustaining.
 Earlier the boundary proposal was adopted by a roll call vote of 14 to with two abstentions.
 Russia clung to it's compromise Big Four agreement and voted for the line originally proposed by France. Other members of the Soviet bloc voted against it. Bel gium and Ethiopia abstained.
 Compromises Suggested
 Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov of Russia told the Conference before the voting began that the East West division among the nations was becoming absurd. He suggest ed compromises on certain out standing questions" but made it plain that he was not ready to yield on Trieste.
 'It is very important to find com- promises on certain questions here, ! as we have been able to find on many occasions since we started to examine these problems" Molotov said
 Bringing about such an accord is possible because we all recognize that we all want democratic peace, and that we do not want to impose the will of certain countries on others. Otherwise nothing good will come from our deliberations.
 Molotov charged Britain and the United States with trying to set up a semi Colonial regime ir Trieste. He blamed Triete disturbances on the Anglo American occupation forces and asked the conference to set an early, exact date for their withdrawal. He said Trieste should be organized like pre-war Danzig.
 Calls Division Absurd
 Division of the west from the Slav states, or east from west, is becoming an absurdity," he told the Peace Conference 48 hours after his return from Moscow.
 Such labels confuse the issue. It is not question of Slav or eastern group on one hand or an anti-Slav or western group on the other"
 "The Soviet delegation is as anxious as any other delegation to assist in strengthening cooperation among all democratic states" he said. T call on all others to con- sider such cooperation essential"
 Molotov said Britain and the United States were increasing dis sension by trying to isolate the Slav states and punish" them by inter fering with their natural develop ment.
