.RiverdaIe Aircraft Plant
10 Lay OFF 200 EMPLOYEES

The Engineering & Research
Corp. at Riverdale, Md, manu-
facturer of the Ercoupe sport plane,
announced yesterday 1t is dismiss
ing 200 employees because produc-
tion Is being curtailed.
Before the disnissals, the COM
pany employed 900 persons. The
reduction Of employment will affect
all departments, spokesman said.
Production rate of 10 planes a
day is being reduced to five. Chief
reason given for the curtailment
is the bad weather in recent months
which, is was said, has cut sales
Of airplanes.
The company suspended produc-
ton for about two months last
winter, after some 800 undelivered
airplanes accumulated on its field.
There are now about so undelivered
planes on hand.

Berwyn Group Doubts
Fire Hazard at School

No emergency measures against
fire hazards at the Berwyn Elemen-
tary School are necessary at pres
ent, the Berwyn citizens decided
last night at the school.
The group, called by joint
Safety Committee Of the BerWyn
Parent Teacher Association and the
Berwyn District Civic Association
to decide what action to take
against reported hazardous condi-
tions, recommended that four fire
extinguishers be installed in the
school.
According to Mrs. Walter Perkins,
chairman of the joint committee,
it was pointed out that the 400
pupils of the school vacated it in
less than IL minutes during recent
fire drills. Such drills, she said,
were held at irregular intervals
for the surprise element.
Following inspection by officials
of the Branchville Volunteer Fire
Department and school mainte-
nance personnel, ii was ruled that
the stairways did not constitute a
fire hazard. Mrs. Perkins said the
stairway against which the Ber-
wyn District Civic Association pro-
tested last week because Of its re-
ported oil-saturated condition, ac-
tually "had not been oiled for years. /"

Republican Seeks
Police Pay Rise in
Montgomery Budget

r. Duncan Clark, a member OF
the All-Republican Montgomery
County delegation TO the Maryland
General Assembly. today charged
that the proposed 1947-48 Mont
gofnery County budget totally dis
regards the need for considerable
police pay increases"
He also criticized the recommerl-
dation of County Supervisor Irving
G. McNayr that establishment OF a
traffic bureau in the police depart
ment be delayed for one year. Mr..
McNayr was appointed by the pre-
vious Democratic administration.
Another recommendation by Mr..
McNayr called for a 10 per cent
salary increase for all county en-
ployes, including policemen.
Declaring that the police salary
situation is ''just as serious as the
financial plight of the county's
school teachers" Mr.. Clark said:
"Under the present system, our
police department is, in effect, pro-
viding years training to some
men who then go to the District of
Columbia force where they can get
more money"
At present, according to Mr..
Clark, beginning county policemen
receive $2,10o a year. He said this
is $500 under the salary paid rookie
Washington policemen.
Mr.. Clark said Police Chief
Charles M. Orme had proposed the
following new salary scales for po-
ticemen:
Privates, s2,40o to $2,700; cor
porals, $4,000 to $4,000; sergeants,
S., 300 to $4,000; lieutenants, $3,700
to $1,000, and captains, $4,000 to $4,-
400.
With regard to traffic bureau
Mr.. Clark pointed out that at pres
ent, there are no county policemen
whose duties are limited entirely to
traffic.
Regular members of the force
have to digress from their duties to
cover traffic situations" he asserted
A public hearing on the proposed
budget will be held at 8 pm. June
10 before the county commissioners
in the Rockville courthouse.

Hospital Council Split.
On INDECENT Care Rate
Widens in Alexandra

The breech between the Alex
andria City Council and the Alex
andria Hospital in the 4-month-old
controversy over INDECENT care rates
appeared widened today after a
statement issued by the hospital
suggested the city build and main
tain its own hospital facilities.
David c. Book, president of the
Alexandria Hospital, yesterday de-
clared there was some misunder-
standing" as a result of last Tues
days conference between the City
Councils Hospital Committee and
the hospitals Board of Directors.
Mr.. Book charged it was not up
the the hospital board to consider
anything at this point but that the
next move was up to the City
Council.
Per Diem Offer Reported.
Chairman r. Samuel Luckett of
the Council Committee asked the
board Tuesday whether it would
consider accepting a per diem pay
ment Of $8.81 without any additional
lump sum payment from the city.
Mr.. Book at that time told the
Council Committee he was not in
a position to commit the Hospital
Board. When asked by Mr.. Luckett
if he thought he could answer that
question by next Tuesday, Mr.. Book
said he felt sure it could be an
sWered by then and the special
meeting adjourned.
Informed OF the hospital state
ment, Mr.. Luckett said he had asked
if the Hospital Board would be will
ing to accept the 1881 per diem
payment. He emphasized that he
did not promise he would recon-
mend that rate to. the full council
Last Tuesdays meeting was called
to see If some compromise agree
ment could be reached between the
city and the hospital after a city
recommendation that the INDECENT
care per diem rate be ST. The hos
pital, however, reiterated its original
demand for an 1881 rate plus a
100000 grant from the city.
Deadine Set for June 1.
The hospital informed the city
no INDECENT patients deemed to be
the responsibility of the city would
be accepted after June l unless a
better agreement could be reached
"The Alexandria Hospital is a
voluntary nonprofit organization not
under any city control" Mr.. Book
declared. There is no responsibility
on the part of the hospital to con-
tinue to accept a burden to its finan-
cial ability. 1t wants to do charity
and to give services where required
but must of necessity do so under
financially sound conditions"
1T appears to me-" he continued
that the answer to the present
problem is for the city government
to build. operate and maintain Its
own hospital facilities in order that
their responsibility and their full
cost be met yearly without recur-
renee of these annual discussions.
