of Maryland, will open testimony,
officials said, to present "the broad
general complaint of Montgomery
County citizens and officials regard
ing the development"

Representative Snyder, Republican,

complaints have been made against
the low-cost veterans housing
project:

praised at excessive values for
loan purposes by the Veterans Ad-
ministration and the Federal Hous-
ing Administration.

not meet the minimum specifica-
tions OF the Montgomery County
DullQlng cOde.

proved by, VA and FILA officials.

number of private builders and
architects have made separate ap-
praisals. Their findings are ex-
pected to be made public at the
hearings. In statement to the
press, the committee said:
THE sole purpose of the hearing
is to establish the truth or falsity
of the charges made, and to deter
mine whether the Federal agencies
involved have exercised prudent
judgment in the loan appraisals.
We seek also to determine If FHA
and VA have maintained proper
inspection over the project. to pro-
tect the Government-guaranteed
mortgages"

subcommittee include Representa-
tives Harvey, Republican, of Indi-

To Act on State Raises
By the Assocjoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, April 3.-Another
special session OF Maryland's Gen.
eral Assembly may be called, this
time to enact cost-of living raises
for State employees.
Gov. Lane, though not saying SO

Budget Department to study the
report of a special committee on
the salary problem. After that
study, he said. he would confer with

Call Seen Before July.
The next fiscal year starts July
/. 1t was believed that any raise
would be made effective by then
and the special session would have
to be called before that date.
The General Assembly met last
in extraordinary session in Novem-
ber.
If 1t should convene this summer
State employees salaries would not
necessarily be the only subject fol
action. Various appropriations fol
State agencies may be requested and
approved at the same time.
Staff Shortages Cited.
State officials recently indicated
that they viewed a cost-of- Living
increase necessary. The problem
also has engaged the attention OF
the Legislative Council as a factor
in acute staff shortages at State
hospitals and mental institutions.

adopt the increase:
Gov. Lane did not disclose the
contents of the special salary COM
