400 students who will be COM
missioned this year have said
they are afraid to fly, Col. Peck
said. The main reason they de-
cline to volunteer is that they
would have to spend four years
on active duty, two more than
other ROTC graduates will serve.
All Air Force ROTC.
The Maryland ROTC unit
is 8kAir Force and Is the largest
in he country. training 5000
students. In charge is Col. Jo-
seph R. Ambrose. professor of
military science and tactics.
All male students who meet
physical requirements must take
two years of ROTC training.
After the first two years. a
student may volunteer for the
advanced course of another two
years, making him eligible for a
commission. About 870 students
are taking the advanced course.
Students in the advanced
course are deferred by selective
service. In return, they agree to
spend two years on active duty
with the Air Force after they are
commissioned second lieutenants.
The two years on active duty
is too short a time. officers say,
to make it worthwhile to train
a pilot, navigator or bombardier.
Cadets who desire this special
training must agree to serve for
four years. including the time it
takes to teach them a speciality.
Col. Peck is disturbed that such
a large percentage of students
are holding back from this op-
portunity.
Flying is a complex business.
requiring the best talents of the
most able young men in the
Nation. the colonel says. If
enough college students won't
volunteer for these jobs. he asks,
where will the Air Force find
the men it needs?

this division will continue to
prosecute the action which it has
initiated in the courts to have
the Virginia seizure law declared
invalid.
"Our agreement to return to
work while the operations of the
company are temporarily under
State seizure is in difference to
the recommendations of Repre-
sentative Joel T. Broyhill and
with the assurance of Mr.. Joseph
L. Arnold and Mr.. Manuel j.
Davis that the seizure by the
Commonwealth of Virginia will
be lifted as quickly as possible
to arrange for return of the
carrier to private operation.
Our return to work during the
time the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia is in control is under
protest.
Seek Return of Line.
Mr.. Davis. who is general
counsel for the Arnold company,
stated the busline will immedi-
ately contact William Seibert,
commerce counsel of the State
Corporation Commission, to get
the bus line back into company
hands.
Both sides Joined in express
ing their gratitude to Mr.. Broy-
hill for his work in effecting the
agreement. In a joint state
ment, they said:
Congressman Broyhill en-
tered the picture when negotia-
tions appeared to be hopeleSsly
deadlocked, when no solution
was in sight. The manner in
which he brought about new
negotiations took patience. per-
suasion and courage. His own
suggestion for settlement formed
the basis upon which COM
promise was reached and the
dispute ended
Management and labor are
happy to commend him for his
successful efforts. Not only did
he perform an outstanding Serv-
ice to us but to his more than
$4,000 constituents who depend
on the Arnold Bus Line to pro-
vide their transportation.

justified the confidence placed
in him by the citizens of the
10th Virginia district in electing
him as their Representative to

they will be included in the con-
solidated area.
A public hearing on the pro-
posed Maryland city is to be held
shortly by the county legislative

Few in Maryland u. ROTC
Volunteer for Pilot Truininu

Officers in charge of the Uni
versity of Maryland ROTC
unit have been making a stren-
uous effort to recruit cadets to
meet a shortage of pilots, bonn
bardiers and navigators.
Chief Warrant Officer T. D.
Caster, public information Off
Ger of the Maryland unit, said
only six cadets out of 81 sched-
uled to be commissioned in the
Air Force next month have
agreed to undergo special train
ing.
Officers said they are trying
to find out. in interviewing this
group. along with 800 others who
will complete the ROTC course
in June, why they are un-
willing to volunteer to become
pilots.
Thorough Questioning.
The questioning has been so
thorough that some left the in
terviews with the impression
that, if they did not volunteer,
they would not receive their
commissions and would be sub
ject to the draft.
1t. Col. Douglas M. Peck, COM
mandant of cadets, said no STU
dent will be refused a commits
sion because he declined to par
ticipate in special training.
I'VE have a contract with these
boys that is as binding on them
as it is on U.S." Col. Peck said.
IF they complete the work we
told them they would be re-
quired to do; they will be COM
missioned."
Of the 81 February graduates
who refused to volunteer, it is
believed all will be commissioned.
Col. Peck said. If any are re-
fused commissions, he said, it
will be because their total records
fail to measure up to the stand
ard required.

Unlawful Lease
Charged 10
Mcmillan
S. c. Representative
Indicted in U. S.
Oil Lund Contract
By Howard L. Dutkin

Representative McMilla
Democrat. of South Carolina
yesterday was indicted or
charges of violating Federal
law, which forbids members OF
Congress to hold or execute con-
tracts involving the Federal
Government.
The indictment. returned by a
grand jury in the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Colum-
bia. charged that Mr.. Mcmillan
"unlawfully" held an oil and gas
lease to about 1,480 acres OF
Government land in Utah.
The true bill asserted the
agreement for the lease, which
Mr.. Mcmillan said cost him $74O
at the Government rate of so
cents an acre. was entered into
with an officer of the Interior
Department. The latter is in no
way implicated in the indict-
ment.
Possible $4,000 Fine.
The offense charged is known
as IAN indictable misdemeanor"
and provides a fine of up to
$4,000.
Mr.. McMillan's attorney,
James M. Earnest. told reporters
the Representative did what
"any other citizen of the United
States may do"
The lawyer stated that Mr..
Mcmillan applied for lease of
Government lands and followed
all the rules and regulations of
the Interior Department.
Sought Ruling.
Later, Mr.. Earnest said, Rep
resentative Mcmillan was told
there was law against such
leases by members of Congress.
Thereupon, according to the at
torney, Mr.. Mcmillan asked for
a ruling from the Interior De-
partment. When the depart
ment agreed there was such a
law, Mr.. Ernest said, Mr..
Mcmillan requested cancellation
of the contract.
But Mr.. Mcmillan never did
get back his $740," the lawyer
said.
Before the indictment, MIR.
Mcmillan had termed the in
vestigation into the lease a
more or less friendly action"
and asserted he himself had
brought it to a head" to see just
what rights he has. He said the.
land was leased in 1850.
The case was presented to the
grand jury by Attorney Ben
Brooks Of the Justice Depart
ment. The true bill was returned
before Judge Alexander Holt
zoff.
Mr.. Mcmillan had been chair
man of the House District Com
mlttee from January, 1948, until
the present Congress.

McKeldin and Senator Della.
his II Republican Senators to
break the Democratic deadlock
over who was to become Senate
president. The Republicans de-
cided to cast their votes for Sem
ator George w. Della, who has
been Senate president for two
years. as against Senator F. Fer
dinand Sybert, of Howard
County the nominee Of a group
of insurgent Democratic Sem
ators bucking party leadership.
1910 Vote.
The final vote, the 18th taken
since the battle broke out, was
II for Mr.. Della and 10 for Mr..
Sybert.
The Republicans have been
maintaining. during the past
week. that the Democratic fam
lily squabble was none of their
business. Some G. o. P. Senators,
however, have been straining to
throw enough votes over to the
Democrats to give one of their
candidates the necessary ma
jority of Is. And late yesterday
afternoon, those "straining"
Senators won over Republican
Governor McKeldin, who di-
rected the Republican Senators
to jump the fence so that the
States business would not be
delayed indefinitely"
The Republican Senators then
went behind closed doors to de-
termine which way to go in their
unprecedented maneuver.
Afterwards. Senator Robert
B. Kimble of Allegany County,
who until then had been the
Republican nominee for Senate
president, said the Republicans
had agreed to vote as a unit.
although they were divided in
the caucus. It was learned later
that the split was 6 to S.
Sybert Had Support.
Had the Republicans been all
lowed to vote as individuals, Mr..
Sybert would have won. He had
10 Democrats with him, and the
five G. O.P P. votes would have
given him the majority.
Before the final vote was
taken in the hushed Senate
chamber, Senator Kimble took
the floor to withdraw as a NOM
inee.
I'VE have waited what we be-
lieve constitutes a reasonable
time" he declared. THE States
business should be placed above
party and personal ambition. It
is now our responsibility to per-
form task we did not seek, nor
ask"
With that he announced that
the Republicans would cast their
II votes as unit for Mr.. Della.
Observers feel the Republican
decision was predicated on the
belief by most G. o. P. Senators
that Mr.. Della has treated the
minority fairly during his term
in the chair. Mr.. Sybert, on the
other hand, was an unknown
quantity.

Texas Utility Held
In Contempt Of Court

The West Texas Utilities Co,
Inc, and its president, yesterday
were held in civil contempt of
the U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia for dis
obeying a court decree in a
labor dispute.
The utility and it's president
were given 80 days to comply
with the decree. II they fail to
do this. the company must pay
a 100000 fine and the president
$4,000. An additional $1,000
daily fine was levied on the
company and $500 on the official
for each day Of continued non
compliance.
J In 1850. the court had upheld
a ruling of the National Labor
Relations Board naming the
Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers as the exclusive bargaining
agent for employees. The COM
pany was ordered to post a notice
to this effect with the under
standing that the notice would
not be altered in any way.
Subsequently the company
posted a second notice which
stated that the matter Of ex-
elusive bargaining as to wages
and hours had not finally been
determined.
The appellate court today held
this to be in contempt of its
decree. The court also directed
the company to withdrew from
negotiations with a second
employees group.

For the first time you can get all these
qualities in one economical, compact car
selling at a low price-the Hudson Jet!
This new kind of car is possible only because
of Hudson's exclusive "step-down" design,
which provides the lowest center Of gravity
among American cars.
That's why it safely handles more power to
weight, provides far greater performance
than any other low-price car.
