Alexandra Moves
To Take Control Of
Taylor Run Project

Alexandria moved today to as
sumo operating control Of the
Taylor Run veterans housing
project, which was established
during the war emergency on
Duke street, near the Fairfax
County line.
The Alexandria Council last
night authorized City Manager w.
Guy Ancell to enter negotiations
with the Federal Government for
the transfer Of control. This step
was recommended by the Councils S
Housing Committee.
The committee said it would be
"in the city's best interests" to
take over control of the housing.
Alexandria already owns the land
but the Federal Government built
the small one-story frame struc-
lures. There are about rs houses
on the tract.
Plan to Act as Agent.
The Council plan is for the
Alexandria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority to continue
acting as business and rental agent
for the property.
Mr.. AnceI said that while there
may be some small financial gain
from rentals, the city would bene-
fit principally by having the prop
,erty under full control.
Under the arrangement with
the Government, the city is re-
sponsible for the eventual demoli-
ton and removal Of the houses.
City Manager Ancell said, how
ever, there is no present plan to
remove them while they are still
useful.
Payment Authorized.
The Council last night also au-
thorized the payment of $2,546
for patients admitted to the Alex
andria Hospital and $500 for
emergency room service. The
Council had been told patients
were taken to the hospital by po-
lice. Mr.. Ancell said that after
payment of these bills, plus others
owed for INDECENT care, there will
be deficit of $1,000 in the hos
pital account and no funds for
patients until January.
Deadline for payment of per-
sonal property taxes WAS extended
until November 80.

Ruling on 0ber Law
Called Too Sweeping
By Author Of Statue
Bv the AxxoeinYed praxs

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. "a
Baltimore judges ruling that
Maryland's -subversive law is
unconstitutional has been called
so sweeping that it would in
validate substantially all'' sedi-
tion and loyalty legislation Of the
States and the Federal govern
ment.
Frank B. Ober, Baltimore at
torney who headed the State
Commission that drew up the
Maryland act, makes that state
ment in a brief on file in the
Court of Appeals.
He contends that If Circuit
Judge Joseph Sherbow's decision
is allowed to stand lit will deal
death blow to the remaining
rights of the States under our
Federal Constitution by denying to
them the most important police
power Of all-the power of self
preservation
Passed in 1949.
The act was passed during the
1949 session Of the General As
sembly and was signed by Gov.
Lane.
It provided that all employees
and off1ceholders Of the State and
its subdivisions would have to sign
loyalty afi1davits. It called for
heavy penalties to those who re-
manned members of subversive or
ganizationS or who advocated ov-
erthrow Of the Government by
force and violence.
Proponents said the. act was
drawn up to destroy communism
without destroying Americanism. =,
An independent group of Bal
timore professional and business
men attacked the constitutional
ity Of the new law. So did the
top officers Of the Maryland Com
munist Party.
Violates Press Freedom,
Judge Sherhow ruled August s.
that the law violated constitu-.
tional guarantees of freedom Of
the press. speech and assembly
and due process Of law, is q bill
Of attaindef and Is too vague for
q criminal statute. The State
appealed and the Court Of Ap-
peals will meet next Wednesday
to set a date for hearing Of the
case.
Mr.. Ober's brief contends that
"the opinion (of the lower court)
is SO sweeping that it would In
validate substantially all the
legislation Of the as States which
have passed statutes Of sedition
l38) and1or loyalty (24)."

f1c signal be installed at the in
tersection of New Hampshire ave-
nue. and Ray road, near Takoma

George N. Lewis, jr., safety direc-
tor for the State roads agency.
The commissioners two weeks ago
had asked the commission to re-
survey the intersection after de-
scribing 1t as the worst unpro-
tected corner" in the county.
Urged by Citizen Groups.

repeatedly has been urged by citi-
zens' groups and the parent
teacher association. The inter-
section is located at the j. Enos

sented a letter from I. William

COOK Inlet
+ I5HIN 6 is
STARTED now.

( ANCHORAGE, May 26-lR-Fish-
ing boats ranged over Cook Inlet
today after a settlement of pay
dispute between the Alaska Salmon
Industry and the United Fishermen
of Cock Inlet (AFL).
The settlement provides $2.40 each
for king salmon; &C cents for reds
and silvers on the lower inlet, and
go on the upper inlet and west
shore; Is cents for chums; 16 for
gillnet-caught pink salmon and 10
for seine-caught pinks.
Few fish were reported running.
Alfred Owen, union business
agent, said a straight seven cents
hourly boost across the board has
been granted all cannery workers.
The increase is equivalent to Az
per cent, which is equal to boosts
received for fish prices. The union
had asked a l0-cent hourly wage
hike for members, but bargaining
power had been handicapped by
skidding salmon prices, Gwen said
He said that while the union is
satisfied with the increase for can
merry workers, fishermen still are
being paid labor wages for skilled
job.
