LEONARDTOWN, Nd, April
30.-Better schools and adequate
pay for teachers must be pro-
vided. regardless of the source
from which the money is OBJ
tained, Frank Small, jr., said here
last night.
Making it clear that he agrees
only party with Gov. McKeldin's
view that responsibility for higher
teachers pay rests with the
States subdivisions, the Republi-
can candidate for Maryland's
5th district House seat declared: !:
"The Governors theory is okay,
if the counties can meet the sit
uation. If they cannot, we should
get the money from the State or
Federal Government-but let's
get it,"
Mr.. Small took up the fight
for an improved educational sys-
tenn in addressing 400 persons
jammed in the courthouse here.
Observers said it was the biggest
local political rally of the cur
rent campaign.
In a speech ending a two-day
swing through Calvert and st.

chairman of the State Racing
Commission, attacked President
Truman's seizure of the steel in
duStry and administration policy
in Korea. He warned against
unqualified support of United Ma

Mr.. Small was accompanied on
the tour by Carlton Pyles, his
campaign manager, and Larry
Slater, his promotion director.

father heads the Small forces

Navy Plane Sought
After Pilot Crashes in
River, Swims Ashore

Harbor Police today hope to
find the fighter plane a Navy
commander ditched in the Po-
tomac River to avoid crashing
into a residential area of Alexan-
dria, Va, last night.
Comdr. William I. Martin, A.
had nothing but a head scratch
to show for his plunge, followed
by a strenuous three-quarter mile
swim to safety on the Alexandria
side Of the river.
The officer, who lives at 2026
Hanover street, Silver Spring
Md, was treated for immersion
and slight shock at Alexandra
Hospital and then transferred to
the Naval Hospital at Bethesda
Md. Officials wondered how he
managed to survive the nose dive
swim the long distance against
the heavy current, and then walk
onto shore.
Comdr. Martin, who is assigned
to the Pentagon, took off from
Anacostia Naval Air Station short
ly before Z pm. He was in a
Grumman F-6-F Hellcat, on a
routine night proficiency flight.
Tells of Faulty Engine.
Soon after 9 pm, he radioed the
Anacostia tower that his single
engine was running roughly and
he was losing power and altitude
rapidly. He told the tower he
would try to ditch the plane in
the river to avoid a crash in the
Alexandria area. That was the
last heard from him.
Soon afterwards, people began
calling the police stations in Alex
andria and Arlington. They re-
ported seeing a plane go down
Most of the callers said the ship
crashed in mid-channel of the
river, which is about one and one
half miles wide at this point.
Virginia police were joined by
those from Washington, the Coast
Guard and Boiling Air Force Base
personnel. Washington Harbo1
Police boats cruised in the chan
mel, their searchlight beams pene-
trating the darkness.
The police and men from the
Alexandria Fire Department
sloshed through a wet, grassy
area near the Norton Co.'S grease
plant. at the foot of Madison
street.
Whistles for Help.
About 10 pm. Policeman Bruce
Proctor heard a piercing whistle.
It was Comdr. Martin, weak but
erect after his long swim against
the incoming tide. His flying
clothing dripped water. He was
carried to the hospital on q
stretcher.
In the hospital Comdr. Martin
told a doctor he might have para
chuted, but decided against it
when he thought of the plane
running wild in the heavily pop
ulated area.
The Harbor Police quit their
search for the plane shortly after
midnight. BY that time they had
sighted an oil slick in midchannel
of the Montgomery street area
of Alexandria.
