Social Security Report
Asks Health Insurance
BY the Associated Press

The Social Security Administra-
ton says the Government should
close what the agency described
as a large gap in security for
American workers by adding health
insurance to the social security
program.
The agency made the recon-
mendation yesterday in its annual
report to Congress.
Congress has been cool thus far
to administration suggestions for
a health insurance program paid
for by compulsory payroll de-
auctions.
The report said private health
insurance cannot meet the needs
of all the people and that Govern
ment-subsidized private insurance
would be costly. complicated and
only partially effective"

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 20.-Tide-
water Fisheries Department agents

bars for any other than official
Requirements in the future will be
subject to penalties up to dismissal.
Chairman Arthur H. Brice of
the Fisheries Commission issued
that order last night.
And Gov. McKeldin assured Mr..
Brice that his order "has my full
support"
The actions came with a report
by Mr.. Brice of his investigation
into the illegal dredging of oysters
by departmental inspectors.
Replacing Borrowed Oysters.
The inspectors were caught
dredging on a Chesapeake Bay bar
set aside for longing. Mr.. Brice's
report said his investigation
showed that the oysters in ques-
ton were scraped under instruc-
ton of Capt. Amos S. Creighton,
the chairman's chief assistant.
The illegally dredged oysters
were to have been used to replace
some borrowed March / for party
given members of the Legislature.
In accepting with some reluc-
lance" Mr.. Brice'S recommended
ton that no disciplinary action be
taken in the case, Gov. McKeldin
wrote the Tidewaters chairman:
q. Because carelessness ap-
pears to have been tolerated and
even encouraged in the past, I am
accepting, but with some reluc-
lance. your recommendation that
no action be taken against the
offenders in the present case. But
there shall be no such tolerant
action in the future"
Lease Measure Introduced.
In another action regarding the
States oyster supply, three Tide
water Senators introduced last
night a bill to specify that the
General Assembly approve any
leases of oyster bottom.
1t is designed to restrict the

ing over bay and river rocks to in

ing.
The bill was sponsored by Sena-
tors Phipps. Democrat, of Anne

House Approves Payment
For Damage 10 Oyster Bars

The House yesterday passed anc
sent to the Senate a bill author.
izing payment of $4,000 by the
Federal Government to the State
of Maryland for damage to nat.
ural oyster bars in the Patuxent
and Severn Rivers by Navy dredg-
ing operations.
The measure, sponsored by
Representative SaSScer, Demo
crat, of Maryland, was reported
favorably by the House Judiciary
Committee. 1t passed the House
quickly by voice vote.
The dredging operations in
volved were in two different
places. The Severn River project
was construction at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis of addi-
tional drill fields and recreational
facilities. The Patuxent River
dredging occurred during con-
struction of the Naval Air Station
and deepening of the channel en-
trance to the Patuxent River.

Separate Voting
On Montgomery
Council Backed
State Senate Fuvors
Dote Independent
Of General Election
BY staff Correspondent Of The Star


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. 2O.-A
bill requiring that partisan
elections of Montgomery County
Council members be held on
date other than that on which
general elections are held had the
tentative approval of the Senate
today.
The separate date provision is
contained in a proposed constitu-
tional amendment sponsored by
Senator Louis L. Goldstein, Demo-
crat. of Calvert County.
The Goldstein bill affects a
measure sponsored by Senator De
Witt S. Hyde, Republican, Of
Montgomery County, which would
clear the way for non-partisan
council elections. The latter has
passed the Senate and is awaiting
House action.
In voting Senator Goldstein's
proposal last night, the Senate
also tentatively approved a pro-
vision in the bill which would re-
quire non-partisan elections Of
Montgomery School Board mem
bers on date other than regular
election days.
The elected School Board bill
has passed the House and is be-
fore the Senate.
Senator Hyde, who submitted
the proposal for separate elections
of School Board members, said he
believed it was logical that both
non-partisan elections should be
held on the same day.
Under the present law, School
Board members are appointed by
the Governor, while County Coun-
Gil members run with party labels
at regular party elections.

Hearing Slated
Tomorrow on
Cut in Bus|ines
Morylunders to Fight
Capital Transit Plan in
Silver Spring Session

Maryland bus riders faced with
prospects of losing their rides after
March 81 will converge on the Sill
yer Spring Armory at 10 am. to-
morrow to protest Capital Transit
plans to drop eight lines.
The occasion is a public hearing
called by the Maryland Public
Service Commission which is
breaking precedent to conduct the
sessions away from its Baltimore
headquarters.
Capital Transit has notified the
PSC it will not ask for annual
permit renewals on the eight
feeder lines in Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties. The action
threatens to isolate several COM
munities without any public trans
portation.
Riders Dispute Stand.
The transit company contends
the PSC is without authority to
force continuation of the service,
but the riders and the PSC itself
think differently.
A big turnout from citizens as
sociations, county and city gov
ernments and other groups is
expected to attend the hearing,
the first part of which will be
devoted to Capital Transit's side
of the controversy.
Ever since the announcement of
the proposed plan, communities
along the bus routes have been
organizing for action, and a long
string of witnesses is expected to
testify.
Greenbelt to Be Represented.
One of them will be w. Paul

Basin Officials
Concerned al
SurveyD Delay
Sewage Abatement
Facilities Declared
Needed at Once

Two officials Of the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac River
Basin have expressed concern"
over the amount of time that
would be required for a sewage
disposal survey of nearby Virginia.
Such a survey which would re-
quire about six months was
recommended Thursday by an
Interim Committee composed of
Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and
Falls Church representatives.
In a letter to the governing
bodies of these four jurisdictions,
Harold A. Kemp, chairman of the
Interstate Commission, said that
ne and Edwin r. Cotton, the COM
missions director, had given the
Interim Committees recommen-
dations carefully study.
Calls Delays Discouraging
ut appears that the results Of
the survey will not be available
for many, many months" wrote
Mr.. Kemp. These continued de-
lays are discouraging when it is
recalled that the Virginia COM
munities were first approached in
October of 1947 regarding such a
survey"
THE Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin has for
some time held the opinion that
an engineering survey of sewage
treatment abatement facilities for
the Virginia communities in the
Washington Metropolitan area
would be desirable" continued Mr..
Kemp's letter. However, because
of the critical condition of the
river. the Commission feels that
unnecessary delays in the con-
struction of abatement facilities
should be avoided. 1t is, there
fore. urged that immediate steps
be taken to construct tangible IA
cilities at the earliest possible
time"
Arlington Decision Slated
Arlington County officials al
ready have indicated they are I'M
willing to participate in the SUR
vey because of the time involved.
A final decision is expected at the
Arlington County Board meeting
on Saturday. Governments of
Alexandria. Fairfax and Falls
Church have not yet considered
the proposed survey. It would cost
a total of 100000.
Object of the survey would be
to determine the most economical
and efficient method for the four
communities to dispose of their
sewage. At present, the commu-
mites have plans for separate dis
posal facilities.
