|0pen-Pi|e Oil Wharf
AT Piney Point, Nd,
Approved by Army

The Army Chief of Engineers
announced last night that a per-
NIT had been granted l.. p
Steuart and Bros, Inc, Of Wash
ington for construction Of an OPEN
pile wharf at Piney Point. Md.
for sea-going tankers.
The announcement drew i'm
mediate reaction from Louis N
Phipps, executive secretary Of the
Maryland Commercial Watermen's
Association. He called on the
State Tidewater Fisheries Com
mission to seek q court order to
block construction Of the wharf.
Mr.. Phipps said in Annapolis
that the installation would de-
stroy "a natural oyster bar, which
the State allows no one to do"
Project Brings Opposition.
The proposed 81, ,250,000 oil ter
minal. plans for which were dis
closed last July, also has been
strongly opposed by property and
boat owners in the area and Gov
Lane has voiced objection.
Maj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, Chief
of Engineers, ruled that the pro-
posed construction will not inter-
fere with navigation, which, he
said, lis the sole concern of the
Federal Government in the mat
ter" =.
Last nights announcement
noted that the State of Maryland
had opposed the project "for rea-
sons other than navigation" but
that the st. Marys County COM
missioners, on the other hand
favored the project.
At a public hearing in August
opponents of the project declared
it would lower property values,
ruin bathing beaches and harm
oysters. fish and crab life on the
Potomac. Rivermen had argued
the !, 1,100-foot long pier also would
be a hazard to navigation.
The Steuart firm proposes to
pump fuel from large tankers to
storage tanks across Piney Point
Creek. The fuel then would be
loaded on barges for shipment to
Washington. At present, oil for
the company is barged from Balti-
more.
Opponents had expressed fears
that oil would leak from the facil-
|ity in the unloading and reloadine
operations. Mr.. Steuart has stated
there would be no refining at the
terminal and therefore there
would be no waste oil.
County Favors Terminal.
The county com m missioner:
backed the project by a 2-to-1
vote. The County Planning Com
mission informed the commits
sioners the terminal would bring
$21 900 yearly to the county treas
ury and that some 40 to so en-
|ployes would mean a yearly pay
roll Of from $150,0o0 to 5000. 900
Commissioner Matthew r. Bal
ley, in announcing the boards de-
cision in August, expressed the
view that the installation will have
mo detrimental effects on naviga-
ton, fish or oysters and that I'll
should be a good thing for St
Mary'S County"

Prince Georges County detec-
tives last night were searching for
a 20 caliber automatic used in the
murder Of a filling station attend
ant at Berwyn on Tuesday.
The body Of the attendant,

eyard, an attendant at a nearby

the Berwyn station about a week
or two before the murder oc-
CURED. He said that Mr.. Spring
mann also told him the man drove
a car similar to that seen leaving
the station shortly before the body
was found.
Following this clue, 1t. Thom-
sen and MIR. Springman went to
Baltimore yesterday to view pic
lures at police headquarters there
in an attempt to identify the man,
He added. however, that Mr.
Springman was unable to make
any Identification from the pic
lures.
Reward Offered.
Prince Georges County Detec-
tive Richard A. Pearson said Al
bert L. Kirwan, College Park, who
operated the filling station, had
planned to open another station
soon and give 1t to young Clay
and another employe, who would
own it as partners.
Mr.. Kirwan and the youths
father each have offered $500 re-
ward for information leading to
the arrest and conviction Of the

"This means that whenever the
net operating income from a rental
property is less than certain per-
centage of the gross income" "
Woods continued, "the landlord is
not receiving a fair net operating
income and is entitled to an in
crease in his rents.
Woods said that generally speak
ing landlord will not be granted
more than one rent hike year
under the new formula.
He said exceptions might be made
where an entire area or an import
ant class of dwellings is affected
by a general expense increase, such
as a boost in taxes.
Housing authorities said there is
no way of knowing how many land
lords are not receiving the 25 to 80
per cent returns called for in the
formula. For this reason, they said
they could not determine how wide
spread would be the rent hikes-or
what the percentage increase would
average.
Think Many Not Eligible
Real estate interests were Of the
opinion many landlords-particu-
larly those who have been granted
previous increases-might not be
eligible for the new boosts.
The formula does not permit
"smalP' landlords to seek increases
unless their net income is now be-
} low 25 per cent. A similar restric-
ton governs large" landlords now
receiving 20 or more per cent mel
income.
Woods announcement gave nc
explanation for this quirk in the
: formula, which associates acknowl
r edged will work to the detriment o.
: small" landlords whose operating
income is, for example, 26 per cen
4 of their gross income.
Although the new procedure was
: designed primarily to cover indi
5 vidual cases,Ait also will be useC
: to determine general area increases
when such boosts are approved IL
the future, Woods said.
: The new rent law, which becam
t effective April 1, also provides
: procedure by which states, countie
: and municipalities can shrug OF
e federal rent controls if the COVER
& nor of the state approves. In addi
e ton, a state may supersede fedora
controls with its own. law.

Making their first start and pre-
senting somewhat of a patched up
lineup, Ralph Snowberger's A. C.'s Z
gave good account of themselves
against "a strong Milton array that
included some of the peninsula's
top players. In fact, as late as the
9th inning, the A. C.'s were still
threatening, with the tying runs
on the base paths when the final out
was made.
Horace Wiley. veteran right
handler, was on the mound for the
home club and went the route, al
though touched for ten safeties, all
of the single base variety. A bad
third inning, in which Milton scor-
ed all four of it's tallies, spelled de-
feat for Wiley and the A. C.'s. IN
this frame, the visitors combined
three singles and two walks with
two costly errors to go out in front,
to 0. Milford got one of these
runs back in the home half of the
fourth. when singles by Hal Davis
and Horace Wiley were followed
by bases on balls to Irv Bowls and
Roy Mccullough, the latter's free
pass pushing Davis across with a
tally
With two away in the home ninth,
Herman Clark singled, advanced
on Jiggs Greenley's single and
scored ahead of Hal Davis two

line. Pinch-hitter Elmer Wilson
went down, third baseman to first

ball game.
