BALTIMORE, Oct. ia street
light blew its top. manhole covers
1eaped into the air and a jet of
flame shot from a roadside pole.
All this happened in one block
of North Baltimore last night as
residents got an unscheduled dis
play of fireworks followed by a
45-minute blackout.
The pyrotechnics were touched
of, apparently, by a short circuit
in maze of underground power
lines. A series of about dozen
explosions followed, winding up in
a power failure for much of the
northern part of town.
While waiting for a streetcar,
Charles E. King. jr., was startled
to see squirt of fame erupt from
a metal power pole and shoot
halfway across the street. Later
it was found that the pole, cast
iron tube feeding cables to a pair
of switch boxes on the top, had a
large hole burned through it's
inch-thick casing about 2 feet
from the ground.
A moment later. Mr.. King saw
the first manhole cover-a 90

County Sets Hearing
On zoning Ordinance

The public hearing on the re-
vised master coming ordinance for
Prince Georges County will be
held at 8 pm. November 20 at the
County Service Building in
Hyattsville.
The hearing was set yesterday
by the county commissioners at
their weekly session at Upper
Marlboro.
Copies of the revised plan,
which is not as stringent as origi-
nally proposed by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, were submitted
to the commissioners a week ago
by committee of three attorneys
named previously to study the
proposals. AS it now stands, it
would create II different zoning
classifications instead of five, as
at present.
Meanwhile, the commissioners
were to meet today for their
monthly coming hearings at the
County Service Building in Hyatts-
vile. On the agenda were nine
requests for commercial coming,
two for apartments and one for
two-family dwelling use. Eight
petitions for special land-use per-
mits also were to be considered.
During yesterdays session the
commissioners exempted from
taxation a 5-acre tract on which
a new parochial school and con-
vent is being erected for the
Mount Calvary Catholic Church,
Marlboro pike at Forestville.

B1 School Projects
Costing S101,O00,000
Cited by Lane in Talk

Gov. Lane said yesterday that
261 school construction projects
costing $101, 100000 will have
been undertaken in Maryland by
next July. three-and-a-half years
after he took Office.
The program includes 121 new
school buildings and 40 additions
to existing schools. The Governor
addressed an audience of more
than 1000 at dedication cere-
monies of one of the larger addi-
tons. the 100000 wing added to
Takoma Park Junior High School.
The new structure includes eight
classrooms, gymnasium, a Ii
brary, a teachers room and Of
fees. 1t extends the schools ca
pacity from $50 students to more
than 900.
Defends Sales Tax.
Once again, Gov. Lane took the
offensive in the battle over the
State sales tax that his admins
tration initiated. He said:
1--WE had the choice, two years
ago. of letting our school system
drift along and deteriorate, or of
making the necessary expendi-
lures to put it In the forefront of
the educational systems of the
Nation today.
1--WE chose the latter course
and I am convinced that the pro-
gram put into effect by this State
administration and the General
Assembly has the overwhelming
support of the great majority OF
our people.
II would hate to have headed
a State administration that saw
these needs-that saw the urgency
for example. of a modern, pro-
gressive school program-and die
not have the courage to take the
steps necessary to assure its &C.
complishment."
Other Speakers Heard.
Other speakers were Mrs. Dur.

Blood for Badly Burned Bow

working due to the steel strike.
However, neighbor heard of
the Froeman's plight and saw to
it that the city's radio and tele-
vision stations were told.
The stations broadcast an ap-
peal for blood donors in the hope
that Is people would respond to
take care of Glenn's initial needs.
So many people showed up last
night to give blood that the hos
pital exhausted all it's donor
equipment.
Donations were taken from II
last night. another IS were regis
tered for donations today and
about 100 others came and said
they would be back to give blood.
Glenn was given five pintS of
plasma and four pints of whole
blood as physicians fought to save
him.
+, One neighbor told Leonard
Freeman, Glenn's father: :.
I Don't worry, If your boy needs
5000 pints of blood, he'll get
them!"

In Wafer Main Dispute

The Mount Rainier City Coun-

Commission in an attempt to force
the agency to repair pipes con-
Meeting homes with street water
mains without cost to home
owners.
Mayor Herbert w. Reichelt and
council members contended there
was no breach of contract be-
tween the commission and the city
and that any legal action would
have to be instituted by the resi-
dents involved.
: The homeowners insist the
commission owns the connecting
"laterals" as the result of it's pur-
chase of the city's water system
in 1922. The commission claims,
however, that the pipes belong to
owners of the homes to which
they are connected.

Bill Forcing Persons
10 Support Abandoned
Dependents Planned

Arlington Delegate j. Maynard
Magruder announced last night he
plans to introduce legislation at
the next session Of the Virginia
General Assembly which would es-
tablish procedure for forcing
persons to support dependents
they abandon.
Mr.. Magruder and George
Damn are running for reelection
as the Democratic nominees in the
November 8 election. They are
opposed by I. Lee Potter, Repub-
lican nominee.
The bill would be a. ''big step
toward solving the problem of
abandoned dependents" Mr.. Ma
gruder told the Arlington Chapter
of the American Association of
University Women in the Lyon
Park Community House.
"At present" he explained,
there is no civil procedure to
enforce the support =. The
only legal hold Is criminal
process which is impractical be-
cause of extensive extradition
costs. the limited nature of Grim
inal statutes and the fact that the
arrest further destroys the source
of income"
In another election contest,
Lester R. Conley. who Monday
submitted his resignation as a
member of the Arlington Public
Utilities Commission. said he
personally" resents a charge by
Robert w. Cox that Basil M. De
Lashmutt has had tender"
attitude toward public utilities.
Mr.. Cox, nonpartisan Town
Meeting candidate, is opposing Mr..
De Lashmutt's bid for reelection
to the County Board. Mr.. De
Lashmutt is the Democratic NOM

BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-Five-
year-old Glenn Freeman was all
logged out in his version of a cow
boy outf1t-a flannel shirt, cordu-
roy trousers and his fathers over
shoes as a substitute for boots.
He was playing in the backyard
when he got too close to an in
Generator. His mother heard a
scream, looked out and saw
Glenn's clothing on fire. She ran
out and tried to beat out the
flames with her hands and, with
the help of a neighbor, finally
smothered them with a blanket.
At Baltimore City Hospital the
doctors said Glenn was burned
over more than so per cent of his
body and would need innumerable
blood transfusions, especially when
migrating began in an attempt
to save his life.
But Glenn's Father doesn't have
too much money right now be-

) Suspended Policemen
RESIGN in Alexandra

Three Alexandria policemen
suspended for conduct unbecoming
officers have been allowed to re-
sign from the force.
City Manager w. Guy Ancell
said he accepted yesterday the
designations of Pvts. Clifton G.
Ferguson, Is, of 314 Prince street;
Jack w. Holmes, 26, of los East
Windsor avenue, and William j.
Vaughn, jr.. "a. Of 1913 Mansion
drive.
Ferguson and Holmes have been
on the force for three years and
Vaughn for a year and half.
Mr.. Ancell and Maj. Edgar Sims,
superintendent of police, refused
to elaborate about charges against
the three. They were given a
hearing before their suspension
and allowed to resign after Mr..
Ancell studied the charges.
In refusing to make public de-
tails of the charges, Mr.. Ancell
said he believed the adverse pub
licity the men already had re-
ceived was sufficient punishment.
