recommendations. Generally, the
industry's attitude is that it is
willing to negotiate over the
boards proposals. But some major
companies have taken a stand
that any pension system ought to
call for contributions from the
workers as well as from the in
dustry.
Mr.. Murray said the union had
accepted the boards proposals
with regret, but that the conf
panies thus far had rejected those
recommendations as a basis for
settlement.
/ They attempt to raise the false
issue of collective bargaining" he
said. 1T is a false issue because
the union and the companies have
bargained at length prior to the
appointment of the board without
arriving at settlement.
What the companies are at
tempting to do is to go through
the motions of collective bargain
ing without reference to the
boards report and recommends
tions."
| The union, Mr.. Murray de-
clared, docs not propose to per-
NIT the companies to ignore" the
boards report.
81 Companies Represented.
Thirty seven companies were
represented by the 10 industry
officials at the meeting. The
United States Steel delegation
was led by Benjamin F. Fairless,
its president.
Henry j. Kaiser. president of
Kaiser Steel Corp, was not pres
ent. He sent the Cancellation
Service a telegram saying he
would not attend the meeting be-
cause his contract with the union
does not expire until October Is,
In the meantime, Mr.. Kaiser
said, cit is our expectation that
we will ,be able to negotiate q
mutually satisfactory agreement" ."
Mr.. Ching's efforts will be
closely watched by President Tru-
man. The White House was re-
ported to be ready to intervene
again if necessary after Mr..
Ching's talks.
What the President would do
beyond applying more pressure
on Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Fairless
remained matter of speculation.
Those involved in the Govern
ment's peace-making efforts say
they have no secret formula for
settlement, nor does Mr.. Truman.
Would Agree to 4 Cents.
Mr.. Fairless said his company,
which usually leads the way in
the industry, would agree to up to
4 cents an hour for social insur-
ance, but baked at the company
bearing the entire cost of pensions
and insurance as suggested by the
Presidents fact-finding board.
One of the things that Mr..
Ching must find out is whether
the companies are determined to
fight employer-financed pensions
as a principle, or whether they
are opposed to accepting any
fact-f finding boards solution. If
they accept readily, in the opinion
OF some, they fear they will be
turning over their collective bar
gaining to future fact-flndine
boards whenever the going gets
rough. &
What John L. Lewis coal miners

Commission Advises
Montgomery 10 Deny
'3Rezoning Petitions

The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
yesterday recommended denial OF
three petitions for rezoning and
sapproyalof two on which hearings
WIN be held by the Montgomery
County Council in Silver Spring
within the next three weeks.
Il One Of the applications recon1-
fmended for disapproval is thai o1
Gary H. Smith for the reclassifi-
cation of two lots on the west
side of Sutherland road. Indian
Spring View, Silver Spring. from
residential to commercial use.
The commission and its staff
stated the request does not con-
form with the master zoning plan
for the area.
Attempts by Mr.. Smith to have
the lots rezoned have been vigo-
rously opposed by the Northwood
Park-Four Corners Citizens Asso-
citation. Mr.. Smith Withdrew a
petition to have the lots rezoned
for apartment use in 1941 after
the commission recommended dis
approval. In 1947. the county
commissioners disapproved a SIM
liar request.
Also recommended for denial is
the request of Esterlene Bell for
commercial zoning of property
now zoned for apartment use,
which is a part of the Brooke
Tea House property, Silver Spring.
The commission pointed out the
proposal is not in accordance
with the master plan.
The third application which
the commission recommended be
denied was that of Eugene Harriss
for commercial classification of
seven-tenths of an acre on the
west side of the Georgia avenue
Brookeville pike at Olney.
Approval was recommended for
the applications of Alfred and
Daisy T. Steiner for commercial
zoning of land at Paint Branch
Farms. Colesville, and of Edward
c. Musgrove for commercial zon-
ing in the Triangle Park subdl-

Attorneys f6 a convicted Coz
lonial BeachDyster dredget ais
nounced today they had With
drawn an appeal which would
have questioned Maryland right
to try Virgilians charged with
violating Potomac River Conserva-
ton laws.
The case involved Oliver G.
Hopkins, who was arrested with
two colored men. Louis Davis and
John Brown. by Maryland Tide
water Fisheries officers last Oc-
tober IS.
Trial Magistrate j. Ralph Abel
of Leonardtown convicted all
three of dredging illegally near
Blackstone Island. Hopkins was
fined $3.50 and Brown and Davis
paid fines of S100 each. The lat
ter two had previously withdrawn
appeals.
Get No Financial Aid.
Defense Counsel George Mason,
jr., Colonial Beach, and Philip
H. Dorsey, LeonardtoWn. said they
had Withdrawn their appeal be-
cause Of their inability to obtain
financial aid from Virginia.
1--WE had expected aid from the
Virginia State government, but
were denied" Mr.. Mason ex-
planned.
Under the terms of a 1785 COM
pact between the two States. vio-
lators were granted the right of
trial in their own States. A 1947
act of the Maryland Legislature
provided for trial of citizens of
either State in Maryland courts.

Soon after the Maryland As
sembly approved the measure,
Gov. Tuck of Virginia protested
that the legislation was a breach
of the compact. The Governor,
however, reversed his stand last
fall, explaining that the Virginia
General Assembly had passed a
concurrent measure in 1948.
The defense decision gives
Maryland title to the 42-foot high

State'sCredit
Offered 10 Help
County Schools
Lone to Ask Assembly
To Set Up so Million
Pool for Purpose
By the Asseeiated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 19.-Gov
Lane today answered the coun-
ties cry for help with new school
construction by Offering to let
them use State credit to borrow
money.
The Governor said he will urge
the Legislature Monday night to
establish a $50.000.00 credit pool
for use by the counties.
In so doing. the Governor re-
jected proposals for diversion of
State funds to school construction
or increase in the States share
of school costs.
Bills to float a 100000 State
bond issue for school construction
and to quadruple the amount the
State now gives the political sub
divisions for such building already
have been introduced. Another
bill would divert proceeds from
the motor vehicle titling tax to
schools.
Hearing Scheduled.
A hearing on all three measures
will be held at 3 pm. Monday by
the Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Committee.
Gov. Lane said that making
State credit available would en-
able the counties to get loans
with to 1 " per cent lower inter-
est than at present.
Under this plan" the governor
said, mo county need forgo or
delay the essential classroom con-
struction needed to house its
school population by reason of
the existing limitations created by
its bonded Indebtedness"
Many counties have said they
have reached the end of the line
in financing schools because of
their own limits on bond issues.
Contribution Increasing.
The governor noted the State
is increasing its contribution to
public school operation from
$9,648,060 in 1947 to $24,694,671
in 1850. Coupled with increasing
distribution of State revenues, the
payments to Baltimore City and
the counties will amount to $56,-
008, ,258.25 next year. the governor
estimated.
Beyond this, in providing local
tax relief. the State cannot go
without an increase in taxation
at the State level, or impairment
of its own essential functions, =
he said. .-s.zs,-
Il must oppose. any move to
divert rn6tor vehicle revenues toi
other than support Of the existing
highway program.
Il cannot approve any program
for providing additional tax re-
lief for the political subdivisions
through new or additional State
taxes"
Basis of Distribution.
Gov. Lane explained that the
credit pool will be made available
to each county in proportion to
what each now receives from horse
racing, the incentive fund, licenses,
and recordation. amusement and
income taxes.
These samef undS will be offered
as guarantee for the redemption
of bonds issued by the counties.
The Governor said he under
stood Baltimore City is able to
finance school construction at IA
vorable interest rates without
using the State credit
Adoption of this method of
using the States credit. to under
write the issuance of bonds for
school construction would operate
as a guarantee that no group of
children anywhere in this State
need be deprived of adequate class
room facilities" Gov. Lane said.
