Maryland Assembly
Fight Certain on Bill
For Roadside Control
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. at will be
States rights against county rights
in. General Assembly debate over
roadside control
For the third time in four years,
the Legislature next month will con.
slider bill to give the State in.
creased powers to regulate the
growth of billboards and hot dog
stands along Maryland highways
AS approved by the Legislative
Council-Interim Committee of
State legislators-the bill is modi-
fed version of measures killed by
the General Assembly in 194S and
1947.
Explained In Report.
The Maryland Roadside Council,
created by an act of 1913 to help
preserve the natural beauty of State
highways, gave its explanation in o
report last year:
Strong opposition developed to
any roadside control bill in 1945,
practically all of it quietly engi-
neered by some badly advised COM
mercial interests, who stirred up
farmers and roadside property own
ers by giving them false advice as
to the meaning of the legislation"
The latest bill would give the State
Roads Commission power to desig.
nate any key artery as a roadside
protected highway" The commits
sion could regulate commercial
establishments in a zone 200 feet
back from the right-of-way on
either side.
Clause Waters Authority.
One clause waters down the
States authority. 1t gives county
coming regulations precedence over
any conflicting State Roads Com
mission regulations.
House Speaker c. Ferdinand Sy-
bert, Democrat, of Howard County,
chairman of the Legislative Coun-
ellis Roadside Control Committee,
says he will support the measure as
okeyed by the council.
Speaker Sybert was voted down
last month on an amendment to put
more teeth in the bill by giving
State regulations precedence over
county regulations.
While taking no stand on the bill
itself, Gov. Lane has said he favors
some form of roadside control" to
prevent the beauty of our road
sides from being unnecessarily
Anne Arundel Is one of five
counties which have set up their
own highway coming regulations.
Others are Montgomery, Prince
Georges, st. Marys and Baltimore

Elliott Roosevelt Talk
With District Attorney
Delayed by Icy Roads
BY the Associated Press

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Dec. 20.
Icy roads today delayed the ap-
pearance of Elliott Roosevelt to
answer questions of authorities
about how his wife, Faye Emerson,
the actress, slashed her wrist.
Both of them said yesterday In
New York that she received the cut
when her wrist accidentally struck
O razor blade as she was reaching
In a drawer for some aspirin.
However, Duchess County Dis
trict Attorney w. Vincent Grady
summoned Mr.. Roosevelt to appear
here at 10 am. today to testify
about the episode.
Joseph McCabe, attorney for the
late Presidents son, announced at
noon that Mr.. Roosevelt had been
delayed and that a new time of
2:30 pm. had been set.
Mr.. McCabe said his client left
New York by car this morning but
had to turn back because of sleet
and bad roads. He then boarded
train, the attorney said.
Earlier, the Duchess County
sheriff had said he understood the
wound, which put Mrs. Roosevelt in
a hospital for 80 hours, was SELF
inflicted.
The injury occurred early Sunday
after Roosevelt family Christmas
gathering at the couples Hyde Park
home. Eight stitches were taken to
close the wound at Vassar Brothers
Hospital in nearby Poughkeepsie.
After questioning three witnesses
about the affair, Mr.. Grady said he
was satisfied that DR.. H. Sherman
Hirst, the physician, who treated
Mrs. Roosevelt, and the hospital had
not violated any law in not reporting
the incident. DR.. Hirst was one OF
the witnesses at his inquiry.
ut appears" he said, "the case
was not reported because the wound
was not sufficiently serious to be
likely to result in DEATH"
Sheriff c. Fred Close had quoted
the doctor as saying he had been
told the cut was self-inficted. and
that the 31-year-old actress had
to be restrained from injuring her
self further.
Richard F. Russell, attorney for
DR.. Hirst, said after Mr.. Grady's
closed inquiry that the doctor had
refused to testify.
The attorney minimized the in
fury to Mrs. Roosevelt, saying the
stitches were taken purely for
esthetic purposes. After all, the girl
Is an actress. Her wound is purely
superficial
Ellison Capers, administrator at
the hospital, said after testifying
before Mr.. Grady that Mrs. Roose-
welt seemed in excellent spirits when
he talked with her Sunday.
The other witness, George Dennis,
hospitaly night clerk, told reporters
after testifying that Mr.. and Mrs.
Roosevelt appeared on perfectly
friendly terms when they came to
the hospital. There was no evidence
Of any strain"
Mr.. Dennis said Mrs. Roosevelt
was draped in a blanket when she
arrived at the hospital early Sunday
and that Mr.. Roosevelt, his brother.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. jr., and DR..
Hirst remained with her in her
room until $50 am. Sunday.
The clerk said he made no report
On the affair because DR.. Hirst told
him there was to be no publicity. |
Sheriff Close added that he now
was satisfied there was no intent
10 conceal anything by the hospital
or the doctor. It was . ease of
misunderstanding"

.0'Conor Pledges Aid
To Postal Employees
BY the Asseeioted Pros

BALTIMORE, Dec. Ex-senator
O'Conor, Democrat, of Maryland
said today he will introduce legisla-
ton at the next session of Congress
Ito better the welfare and working
conditions Of employees of the postal
service"
mo group in Government, am
convinced" he said in a statement,
lis compelled to work under greater
stress than are the post office en-
ployes, but many benefits &C
corded to other Federal personnel
have been denied to post Office
workers because the department has
shown a continuing deficit. $50
1T Is unfair to refuse to its en-
ployes equal benefits to those OF
other governmental functions which
do not face the stigma OF a deficit
each year."
He said his study of the situa-
ton indicates that there should be
an increase granted to the postal
personnel in annual and sick leave,
and in salary schedules, to eliminate
a number of present inequities."

Council Changes Mind
On Authority, Amends
zoning Ordinance

Montgomery County's interim
council, with Just two weeks of life
remaining, yesterday changed its
mind about its own authority and
amended q coming ordinance.
The council also passed on num-
Der of applications for rezoning. ap-
proving a change for construction
of a 81 100000 apartment project at
Grub and Brookeville roads, Silver
Spring, and several others.
The coming amendment will allow
more than one door on any side OF
a semidetached house.
The councils attorney, 8. Barnard
Welsh, had advised against any
action which might be considered
legislation. He held that this might
be in violation of the new charter
which limits to the month of May
all legislative action Of the county's
governing body.
After the amendment was adopted
yesterday, Councilman Charles II.
|Jamison declared:
IF anyone doesn't think we have
the right to do it, they have the
privilege of challenging u.s."
The rezoned property at Grubb
and Brookeville roads is four-acre
tract owned by Speridon S. SIAM
ates. who said plans call for 1875
units.
The council denied an application
of Henry J. Conner, Inc, Bethesda,
for rezoning of land on Old George
town road at Wyngate drive, for a
shopping center costing upwards of
$780,
Other coming action included ap-
roval of these petitions:
Samuel E. Bogley, Bethesda. property at
G-eentree and Old Georgetown roads, for
establishment of small shopping center.
James W. and Nancy S. Richards, tract
in Jones Bridge Court, Rock Creek Knobs,
for an apartment development.

81 Searching Planes
Fail 10 Find Trace
Of Missing Air|iner

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 29.-Hope faded
rapidly today for a charter airlinel
missing more than "a hours on a
flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico
to Miami with 80 persons aboard.
A fleet of 81 Air Force. Navy and
Coast Guard planes went out at
dawn to resume an intensive search
over the 1,200-mile air route to San
Juan and famed out over the Flor
ida peninsula and the Eastern Gull
Of Mexico.
A Navy blimp from the Boca Chi
ca Air Station at Key West joined
the search, but the Coast Guard
said at midmorning mo results" had
been reported.
Two Infants Aboard.
The official passenger list, released
at San Juan last night, named Is
passengers and crew of three as
aboard the missing craft. Earlier,
Airborne Transport, Inc. of New
York, which leased the plane, said
two infants in arms also were
aboard.
Crew members were Capt. Bob
Linquist of Fort Myers, Fla, pilot;
Ernie Hill, jr., %, of Miami, CO.
pilot, and Miss Mary Burke of Jersey
City, N. j., stewardess.
Many of the passengers who
boarded the plane at San Juan at
1908 pm. Monday were described
as Puerto Ricans returning to the
United States after holiday visits to
relatives.
The twin-engined DC-3 airliner
was due in Miami at 4:30 am. yes
terday. The last of its fuel would
have been used up about 5:45 am.
so Miles Of Miami.
At Alb am. the Civil Aeronautics
Overseas Radio at New Orleans
picked up a position report in which
Capt. Linquist said he then was so
miles south of Miami. The overseas
radio repeated the position to the
plane and asked confirmation.
There was no answer. Repeated
calls brought no response. An alert
was sounded and other stations at
tempted to reach the aircraft by
radio.
The plane was owned by Karl
knight of Miami, but had been
leased to Airborne Transport. Mr.
Knight said he had nothing to do
with the operation of the leased
craft

give up two or three days of their
26 days of annual leave each year.
Those advocating the plan do not
favor deducting any of the Is days
annual sick leave time instead. be-
cause most Government employees
don't use up their IS days year
and really wouldn't be contribut-
ing anything If sick leave time
were deducted.
In other words, the sponsors want
the plan made as attractive as posi-
Bile to Congress, which would have
to approve ".
Those advocating the plan con-
tend that, in the long run, it would
cost the Government scarcely any
thing. They contend the millions
of work days that would be saved
annually by taking away leave time
in return for the group hospitaliza-
ton privileges ultimately would en-
able the Government to require
fewer employees for future needs.
And it would wipe out some of the
cash payments that the Government
now must pay employees for unused
annual leave when they leave the
Government.
They also contend this plan would
not give Government employees any
thing more than what many en-
ployes in private industry already
enjoy. Many companies here pay
half of the whole expense of hos
pitalization insurance for their en-
ployes.
These officials contend Govern
ment employees are entitled to the
same protection as many private in
dustry workers in having hospitali-
zation insurance to pay for a goodly
share of their hospital bills when
they are sick.

PAY-President Truman hasn't
finished drafting the message he
will deliver in person before Con-
gress next week, but Administra-
ton insiders predict he will not ask
for a rank-and-f1le Government
pay raise. Instead administration
officials say, Mr.. Truman will ask
for top-bracket Federal pay in
creases as well as q general re-
vision of the Classification Pay Act
A general revision of the CLASH
fication Act would mean upward
pay revisions for most Federal en-
playes, but they would be very mod
est ones-not averaging more than

insiders say that their task force re-
port on the National Defense Es-
setup was considerably
stronger than the report that was
made public last week.
At the last minute, some of the
criticisms were deleted because top
defense officials complained it would
affect national security adversely If
the details were made public, these
Hoover members say.
