bill.
The administrators position is
that anything other than per-
centage increase would throw the
Federal salary classification struc-
ture out of kilter. This is denied
by sponsors of the House bill, who
say a fiat $400 raise would still
keep the balance of the classif1ca-
ton pay system.
Although he has not revealed
what he is going to do there are
some indications that Chairman
Murray of the House Civil Service
Committee will throw his support
to the Senate's 10 per cent bill.
Whether the other four House
conferees will do likewise, remains
to be seen.
The AFL American Federation
OF Government Employees has
asked House-Senate conferees
that. in the event they do adopt a
percentage increase bill, a $400
minimum guarantee be established.
Unless a minimum guarantee is
established, the bulk of Federal
employees who need a raise the
most. will only get 5000 to $500 a
year increases, while $4,000 a
year officials viii get $780," the
AFGE declared. Under the Sem
ate bill. the raises would range
from 1920 for employees in GS-1

Bland and Bank Drop
Liquor License; Face
County, State Probes

The Prince Georges County
States attorney and the Mary
land bank examiner today were
investigating possible violations of
the law by James B. Bland. for
mer Democratic county treasurer,
and an Upper Marlboro bank.
The possible violations. revealed
in a Circuit Court hearing yester-
day, center around a contro-
versial liquor license held until
yesterday by Mr.. Bland.
Mr.. Bland gave up the license
during the court hearings. after
admitting he signed false state
ment to obtain it and made a deal
to have it transferred to C. Norris
Hartman, owner of Hartman's
Grill. 4701 Suitland road.
Court Hearing on Appeal.
The Liquor Board approved
transfer of the license to Mr..
Bland last July 25 and then ap-
proved transfer of the license to
Hartman's Grill August 16, despite
protests of Suitland residents
The final step in the procedure
transfer of the license. from Mr..
BANDS name to Mr.. Hartman's--
was scheduled to come up 1T this
months Liquor Board meeting,
but was put aside when 10 Suit
land residents appealed the August
16 decision.
Yesterdays court hearing was
on that appeal. After Mr.. Bland
announced he was relinquishing
the license. Judge Charles C.
Marbury dismissed the case. The
license, thus, is dead and so is
the transfer to Hartman's.
Mr.. Bland, a director of the
Upper Marlboro branch of the
County Trust Co. of Maryland,
testified he was acting as agent
for the bank when he succeeded
in having the license put in his
name last July.
Must Be Part Owner.
He admitted that he signed his
name to false information on the
original liquor license application.
County liquor laws require license
holders to be at least part owner
OF the business for which the
license is issued.
States Attorney Carlyle j. Lam
caster said today he intends to 90
over Mr.. BANDS testimony to de-
termine whether perjury is in
Volved.
State Bank Examiner H. E.
Meeks said. at his Baltimore Of
flee. he is looking into the matter
to see whether the County Trust
Co. was engaging in the liquor
business, which probably would be
illegal.
The bank several months ago
purchased the Prince Georges Ho-
tel in Upper Marlboro, where the
controversial license has been IN
use, for a new branch. The bar
continued to operate, however,
while Mr.. Bland negotiated the
three-step transfer of the license
to Mr.. Hartman.
Mr.. Meeks said that unless the
bank leased the bar to some other
individual or group. it very likely
violated its State charter. The
charter outlines what a bank can
do. Mr. Meeks explained, adding
I'm pretty sure selling liquor
isn't one Of those things"
