B. & 0. Files Suit
| Against Club in
Kenwood Crash

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
has filed suit for $35, 900 against the
Congressional Country Club, Inc,
Bradley boulevard and River road,
Bethesda.
The suit, in Montgomery County
Circuit Court at Rockville. stems
from train-bus crash May IA. 1947,
at the Dorset avenue crossing in
Kenwood. in which three persons
were killed and five injured.
The bus was being used by the
club to carry its employees home
from work. The railroad claims
that as result of the negligent
manner" in which the bus was
operated, the company paid a total
Of Sl8,5O0 damages in settling suits.
Through its attorney, Charles w.
Prettyman, the railroad contends
that although the bus had a long
continued opportunity to stop after
the train was plainly visible, it did
not stop" The train. according to
the railroad, was being operated in
a careful and reasonable manner"

Hearing Set on Bill
For Direct Entrance
To St. E|izabeths

A hearing on the Miller bill to
permit chronic mental patients to
go directly to st. Elizabeths Hospital
will be held by the House District
subcommittee on Health at 10 am.
Friday.
Representative Miller, Republican,
of Nebraska, subcommittee chair
man, who introduced the measure
yesterday, said he hopes for early
action to get the bill reported to
the full House District Committee
at its next regular session.
Meeting Today Cancelled.
The House District Committee had
scheduled a meeting for this morn
ing, but this was Cancelled. The
committee decided to wait until
more measures come up from sub
committees, so that the most i'm
portant pending local legislation can
be acted on at once. No date has
been fixed for the next session.
The Miller bill would provide for
some patients to bypass Gallinger
Hospital and enter st. Elizabeths
directly. The measure was developed
after conferences among District
officials, who agreed on the bill as
the best means to divert some OF the
patients from Gallinger's over
crowded, understaffed, psychopathic
division.
Amends 1899 Act.
The bill would amend the Mental
Health Act of 1889. 1t would
authorize the court to order deten-
ton in st. Elizabeths of persons
believed to be of unsound mind.
The court would act on the basis OF
a petition and two affidavits.
Meanwhile. an effort will be made
to get a rule from the House Rules
Committee for special House con-
sideration of a bill to authorize
the Defense Homes Corp. to turn
over to Howard University two resi-
dence halls built to house war
workers.
The bill was passed over without
prejudice yesterday on an objection
from the floor. when it was called
up on the calendar. The residence
halls are known as the Lucy Dlggs
Slowe and George Washington
Carver residence halls.

Maryland Republicans
Set for Convention in
Baltimore Tomorrow
By John V. Horner

The stage was set today for the
quadrennial convention in Balti-
more of Maryland Republicans
whose conflicting preferences for the
presidential nomination left in
doubt the State delegations stand
at the national convention.
The Maryland meeting will open
at 1890 pm. tomorrow at the Lord
Baltimore Hotel. with Representa-
tive Miller of the 1st district presid-
ing as temporary chairman.
Organization leaders said all is in
readiness for tomorroW's short ses-
sion, which will be featured by an
address by House Speaker Martin
and the selection of Maryland's 16
delegates to the Republican National
Convention in Philadelphia June 81.
Jacob France, national committee
man whose organization is in con-
troll of the party, predicted smooth
meeting with few, if any, issues to
stir up the delegates.
Delegation to Be Uninstrueted.
The Philadelphia delegation will
be uninstructed and therefore free
to cast ballots for a number of the
Presidential candidates. Leaders in
dicated that Maryland votes prob
ably win go to several aspirants on
the first few ballots, including Gov.
Dewey, Senator Taft and Harold E.
StasSen.
If anyone holds the edge, Mr.
France said, it is probably Gov
Dewey. This suggests the possibility
that the New Yorker may eventually
pick up the entire Maryland vote,
since the delegation undoubtedly
will act as a unit after the prelim-
mary skirmishing at Philadelphia.
Il know all the leading candidates
except Gov. Warren" Mr.. France
said, land they're all fine men. Any
one of them would be acceptable to
us but 1 believe if any has greater
support than the others, it is Gov.
Dewey"
Stassen Stock May Gain.
Among the other leading Repub-
licans known to be behind the
Dewey candidacy are former Mayor
Theodore McKeldin of Baltimore,
and Galen L. TAFT of Chevy Chase,
retiring chairman of the State Gen.
trail Committee.
Stassen stock is expected to gain,
however. in view of the appoint
ment of a Maryland manager this
week. George c. Doub, Baltimore
lawyer who ran for attorney gen.
eral in 1916, was chosen to head the
State campaign for the former Min
neSota Government.

Committee Sessions
On Federal Pay Bills
Delayed Until Friday

Because the House met earlier
than usual to discuss the Mundt-
Nixon Communist bill, COM
mittee sessions on Federal salaries
scheduled for today were postponed
until Friday, so that members would
not miss the floor debate.
officials said botl. the salary in
crease measure and one designed
to pay salaries to Government
workers improperly separated from
the Federal service were held over.
At 10 am Friday Senate and
House conferees are slated to meet
on the pay separation bill. An
hour later the Senate and House
Civil Service subcommittee that
are dealing with Federal pay raises
are scheduled to meet in joint ses-
sion.
Taft Calls Raise Imperative.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
told the Senate yesterday, during
debate on the Army civil functions
supply bill, that a salary increase
for Government workers is impera-
tive. He made the statement in
connection with plea to reduce
funds in the supply bill, particularly
rivers and harbors items.
After listing recent increases IN
Federal expenditures, including Eu-
ropean recovery and national de-
fense, Mr.. Taft told his colleagues
on the Senate floor:
I'm addition to that, We face In
all probability an increase in the
salaries of Federal workers and
postal workers which may easily
total s40o,OOO.0OO or s5O0,000, ,000
Some of the bills provide even more
than that.
Sees Prior Obligation.
"It seems to me we have prior
obligation to Federal employees to
see that their salaries are increased
at least as much over prewar as
their costs. l believe that is a
prior obligation to undertaking any
public works. 1t seems to me that
we have an obligation to a million
OF more men and women to see
that they receive reasonably de-
cent wage level"
Mr.. Taft joined with the minority
report on the civil functions supply
bill. This report, signed by Senator
Reed of Kansas and Chairman
Bridges of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee and Senator Fer
guson of Michigan, all Republicans.
asks that the measure be trimmed
by $1,000 100000. The minority group
wants the bill recommitted to COM
mittee SO that a system of priority
can be set up, giving the right of
way to the most meritorious
projects.

He pointed out that boys find it
too easy to scale the iron railing on
the bridge and then walk on the
ledge. To prevent further accidents,
netting or wire should be placed in
position to prevent the railing from
being scaled, Mr.. Chadbourn sug-
gested.
A nurse at Children's Hospital re-
called that about three years ago a
small boy and his sister became in
volved in similar accident on the
bridge. and had to be extricated
from trees which broke their fall.
Mr. Chadbourn retired last year

ton. Before that he represented
American oil interests in Russia.
