trying to force the couple and two
other people out of the house to
arrest them for having a noisy
party.
The Mayor said the chief told
him the arrest fell through be-
cause the four people escaped out
the back door and got away
through a marsh.
But yesterday, Pvt. Dorsey and
Samuel Brooks. colored, A. said
that the two of them had talked
together Immediately after the
gas attack and Pvt. Dorsey made
no attempt to arrest Brooks.

He said he is waiting for the

PTA Council Backs
Green Teacher Pay
Plan in Prince Georges

The Prince Georges County PTA
Council last night recommended
that member units back the Green
Commission formula for higher
teachers pay as the best obtain
able at this time.
Then, without debate and with
out a reading, the council pigeon
holed a resolution which would
have urged the General Assembly
to override vetoes of pay meas
ures passed at the last session
Also approved was a resolution
urging support of proposed legis-
lation providing for the addition
of 40 cents per capita in State
aid for county libraries.
All three actions were taken at
a meeting in the County Service
Building at Hyattsville. The
meeting was called by Mrs. Muriel
Stelzer. PTA Council president.
Mrs. Mary keenan, Hadley out.
lined the library aid plan to 8
group of so council members anc
leaders of other county civi'
groups.
Proposal Explained.
The Green Commission pay plaI
was explained by School Supt
Williami S. Schmidt, Thomas v
Warthen, president of the Count!
Teachers Association and Byror
Allen, the councils Legislative
chairman.
They told the group that thu
Green plan is imperfect but ad'
vised that it be accepted as ths
only proposal with a reasonable
chance of becoming law at tht
session beginning January Z.
Two other teacher pay bill,
passed last winter and vetoed BY
Gov. McKeldin will be reviewed a.
the first order of business. But
there is little likelihood that either
will survive. Even if veto were
overriden, implementing fund.
probably would not be available
next year.
On the other hand. Gov. Nc.
Keldin is backing the Green plar
and has included necessary appro.
priations in his Forthcoming
budget.
Furthermore, enough votes tt
upset a veto would be difficult tt
obtain, partly because the ques'
ton crosses party lines and agar
because legislators are sick Of tn,
long wrangle.
Seen as Compromise.
The Green proposal, in th'
opinion Of some legislators, offer
a workable compromise.

County 10 Seek
Law Revamping
Hospital Setup
Prince Georges Plan
Would Shift Control,
Ease Financing
BY J. L. MichoeI

Legislation designed to shift
administrative control of the
Prince Georges General Hospital
from the county commissioners to
a new board of directors has been
prepared for consideration by the
next General Assembly.
The measure also would make
mandatory a special property levy
to finance operational deficits.
1t has been approved "in prin-
ciple" by the hospitals present
directors. the County Medical So
|ciety and the county commission
|ers. Final approval by the county
commissioners is expected shortly.
It's passage would end a long
continued struggle for control of
hospital affairs-a dispute which
has centered around appointment
OF the institutions superintendent.
Thomas E. Latimer, chairman
OF both the commissioners and
hospital boards. said one Of the
chief objectives is to reduce the
county's financial responsibility
for the operation of the hospital.
Under existing law. the COM
missioners have full authority to
operate and maintain the hospital
and thus must assume complete
financial risks.
Repeals 1941 Statute.
The current measure proposes
to repeal this statute enacted in
1941, and to replace it with a new
act differing substantially from
the old.
The new bill calls for a board Of
directors with IL members instead
of the present 10. The new board
would consist of a president named
by the county commissioners: a
member chosen by the active
medical staff of the hospital; an
other selected by the hospitals
guild; three to be named by the
County Medical Society of whom
not more than two would be doc
tors, and six laymen. three ap-
pointed by the commissioners and
three elected by the hospital
board.
The bill specifies that the three
doctors certified by the medical
Organization shall be the only
physicians on the board.
Appointment Of the new board
would automatically end the in
cumbency Of all present board
members. Members of the new
; board would serve three-year stag
gered terms.
Would Retain Control.
\ The comissioners. wever.
&. would control appointments Of
board members under a provision
giving them the right to reject
any name certified to them. They
also would be authorized to re-
move members for cause. after .
public hearing.
i Bylaws necessary for hospital
operation could be adopted by
the board, but they would be
subject to approval by the COM
missioners.
The proposed special tax on
real estate would be calculated to
provide funds not exceeding Is
per cent Of the hospitals operat-
ing expenses in Immediately pre-
ceding calendar years. The bill
also would authorize the commits
sioners to borrow for the hospital
not more than $50.000 a year and
to repay the loan from special
tax revenues.
i Previously. the commissioners
have delegated virtually complete
administrative authority to the
J, hospital board. except for ap-
} pointment of the superintendent.
The new bill has been prepared
/ as an emergency measure and
!, thus would require a favorable
vote by three-fifths Of the mem
bers of both Houses. 1t would
become effective Immediately
after passage.

TOadstOOIs on Wood

What would cause toadstools to
appear on a woodpile? Evidently
the wood stored was already in
fected with fungi. The cut ends, and
the partial drying, stimulated these
fungi to produce the fruiting bodies
known as toadstools. They will prob
ably continue growing until the wood
dries out sufficiently to kill them,
or to hold back their further growth.
There would probably not be any
danger in handling this wood.
