60 BOWL CONTESTS
 COME UP
By STERLING SLAPPEY

ATLANTA, Nov. 22-lR-Judging from 60 bowls, some defunct but many still kicking, naming foot hall classic" must be an awful ordeal. 7
 You can imagine how long it must have taken to think up the "Spa- ghetti Bowl" the "Bacardi Bowl, the Lily" or the Beauty"
 No doubt there have been, and possibly, are far more than Go foot eall bowls. But 50 are all avail able after a tireless search.
 As hard as many names must lave been to come by, not ono lowl thought to select something footballish for instance, "The Figskin Bowl or "The Mouse Trap Fowl"
 Instead, names honor in this order: foodstuffs, horticulture, geography, natural resources, ani- mals, history, legend, irritants, or ganizations and alcoholic beverages.
 Also there are 12 names which defy classification. Just call them miscellaneous.
 The various types of foodstuffs honored are: the Spaghetti Bowl tas mentioned above), the Peanut Bowl, Sugar, Junior Sugar, Orange, Tangerine, Pineapple, Peach, Salad, Raisin, Coconut and Chocolate.

Maryland Bonus Bill
Back nCommifee
After Hectic Session
BY O staff Correspondent, Of Ths Sior

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 25.-The fu-
ture of the 100000, 900 veterans
bonus bill was uncertain today,
with the measure back in COM
mittee after 4 hectic House ses-
sion marked by name-calling and
the walkout of the chairman of
the 36-n1ember Baltimore delega-
ton. If
An identical bill was defeated
Wednesday in the Senate by a
one vote margin.
Whether the House bill will be
brought. out of the Ways and
Means Committee for the second
time depends on how much pres
sure can be placed on the COM
mittee by bonus supporters.
After the measure was petit
toned out of committee last night
and put on the floor. the House
beat down, 78 to 81, an attempt to
table it.
The vote was not necessarily
an indication of how the House
would vote on the bonus bill itself.
Several delegates expressed them
selves as against the bill, but op-
posed to killing it that way.
Others changed their votes before
the final tally was announced.

Delegate Benjamin A. Mrozinski,

motion.
1t was after a voice vote sending
the bill back to committee that
Leroy Preston, chairman of the

Army major, arose. Speaking in

said:

Lane S Plan 10 Create
School Building Fund
Greeted Cautiously 3

Gov. Lanes proposal to set up
. $2o,oo0,0oo school construction
fund from which grants would be
made to Maryland counties and
the city Of Baltimore drew cau-
tious comments today. 4
The Governor advanced the
plan last night to counter pro-
posals that the State quadruple
its contributions to the school
construction incentive fund.
Under his latest recommends :
ton. the State would contribute
up to $50 per pupil, provided the
counties put up SO of their own
for each ST from the State. In
Montgomery County this would
mean a maximum grant of ST.
260.540 and in Prince Georges the
sum would total 81, l,642. 800.
g. Gardner Shugart, superin-
tendent of schools in Prince
Georges. said that while Gov.
Lanes latest plan is fairly good
in helping solve the immediate
problem, he believed on first
consideration that his county
might fare better over a long
period If the quadrupled incentive
fund were approved.
The incentive fund encourages
counties to push school construc-
ton by augmenting local revenues
with State money. If a county
levies as much as S cents per $100
for school building. the State adds
enough to assure at least $40 per
child.
The quadrupling proposal would
raise the tax requirement to 20
cents and the State guarantee to
$40. Since Prince Georges al
ready has a school construction
levy of about IS cents, that county
would get a much larger State
appropriation without changing
the local tax.
First comments from Mont
gomery County were more favor
able to the Lane proposal. One
Board of Education official said
that the grant would be IAN
enormous help" although none of
it could be used for debt service.
In that respect. he said, the
quadrupling plan Is more ad-
vantageous.

The release of news that John
L. Lewis had ordered his idle
miners to report for work Monday
was a coal fields mystery today,
but 1t was something less than a
puzzle to industry officials here.
An industry spokesman ex-
pressed the opinion that release of
the story was timed to take the
news play" away from the swear
ing-in yesterday of James Boyd
as director of the Federal Bureau
Of Mines. The planning, he said.
probably was the work of Mr..
Lewis himself. The UNIV chief
has shown marked talent for such
things in past dealings with the
mine operators.
The story is that just before Mr..
Boyd was to take the oath of
Office, amid much fanfare at the
Interior Department, and back
pay checks totaling nearly SILL
600 from Secretary Krug. the wire
services bulletined the news from
Pittsburgh that Mr.. Lewis had
messaged his miners to end their
two-week protest" work stoppage
on time.
The result was that the account
of the Boyd ceremony was come
what buried in the news Of Mr..
Lewis latest executive order" to
his men. He had climaxed a two
year fight to keep Mr.. Boyd out
of Office by calling a mine shut
down in protest Of the appoint
ment. But the action had the
opposite effect on the Senate,
which pushed through the Boyd
confirmation overwhelmingly.
Just why the order was released
IN Pittsburgh instead of at union
headquarters here and who did

comes in.
