more than 400 residents to the
proceedings.
The hearing was specially
granted the home owners on
their petition to rezone the en- :
tire university campus from it's
present residential A status to
residential A-restricted. BY this
means they hope to forestall
hospital construction not only on
the southern portion Of the cam

university property.
Lawyer Criticizes University.
The University has given the
hospital nearly seven acres of
the campus, fronting University
avenue near lockwood parkway
to build a 250-bed institution.
Both the university and hos
pital are Methodist Church in
Stitutions.
In his opening statement on
behalf of the home owners, At
torney James c. Wilkes criticized
the university as having de-
veloped physically 'like a back
ward child"
tits planning has been very
poor, and its housekeeping
equally unfortunate" Mr.. Wilkes
charged.
Chief point in the citizens
case against the hospital is the
fear that property values will be
deprecated in the adjoining
areas where homes range in
value from $4,000 to $150, 900.
Residents Win First Round.
Mr.. Wilkes won an opening
skirmish with counsel for the in
stitutions who had wanted to
postpone the meetings until later
in the month. The coming body
decided to hear the proponents
Of the petition today and to let
the hospital give its case jan
uary 16.
After the opening statement,
the citizens presented expert
witnesses who testified on the
planning aspects of the proposed
change in the community.
Earl s. Draper, a city plan

Strike Closes
Most Schools
In Baltimore
Public Buildings Left
Without Heot in City
Employees WoIkout
By the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.-The
strike of $500 city employees
which has choked off garbage
collections in this city of nearly
a million virtually paralyzed the
public school system today.
Two-thirds or more of Balti-
more's some 100 public schools
had to close down shortly after
opening this morning because
there was no heat, authorities
estimated on the basis of early
reports.
In those schools, teachers were
giving students assignments and
sending them back home.
Meanwhile, the School Board
prepared to put on television
classes. The program, worked
out with the city's three TV sta
tions, will include 81 hours Of
instruction.
Intimidation Charged.
One school official said "our
people are being intimidated" by
the strikers. The schools re-
opened today after the Christ
mas holidays.
Janitors and firemen in the
schools are among the city la
borerS affected by the f1ve-day-
old strike.

which represents the striking
garbage collectors, street clean
erS, water and sewer depart
ment workers and other manual
laborers.
But number of janitors are
not represented by the union.
School officials. in a preliminary
guess, had estimated 40 to so
schools would have heat and
would be able to operate today.
John w. Lewis. business man
ager Of the Board of Education,
said the preliminary guess was
made before "intirpidations"
were reported.
He listed two cases where
workers-"not our employees but
men from other departments"-
entered the schools this morning
and intimidated janitors and
firemen.
'Most of our people wanted to
work today" Mr.. Lewis said,
"but they have received anony-
nous phone calls and have been
generally intimidated."
Rubbish PiIing Up.
Garbage and rubbish is piling
up at the rate of about 1000
tons day in the Nations sixth
most populated city. Pickets
have curtailed private firms from
hauling the refuse away by
threatening to tip over their
trucks
Union and city representatives
scheduled another meeting to
try to settle the dispute. The
laborers, who are paid from
$1.19h to $1.2212 an hour. are
asking for 10 per cent general
increase. The city has refused
any general increase.

10 Pct. Police
And FHePoy
Rise Sought

Legislation to increase the pay
of police and firemen by 10 per
cent is being prepared by the
Commissioners, it was learned
today. The bill is being drawn
up for introduction in Congress
as soon as possible, it was said
An increase in pay for retired
members also will be proposed.
In addition, provisions are be-
ing planned for quicker attain
ment of top grade pay for pri-
Yates, and for more liberal holi-
day pay.
At present, a policeman does
not work UP to the top until five
years. The city heads favor re-
ducing this period to three years
After the worker reaches top
grade pay for private, corporal
or sergeant, a longevity clause
would give him an increase of
$120 a year after five years.
The longevity increases would
be limited to five.
Holiday pay is now figured on
a pro-rated basis by dividing
$50 days into the yearly pay.
Under the proposal, only 260
days would be used.
The force works eight holi-
days in a year. This year, In
auguration Day would be added.
Privates' pay now ranges from
$3.410 to $4,160.
The increase would cost the
District about $1,292, 900 for
policemen and $677. 900 for fire.

for the cost Of increasing the

High Court Refuses
To Review Taft Act
Injunction Decision
Rejects Union Request
For Quick Opinion to
Put Aside Buffalo Edict

The Supreme Court today re-
fused a request to give an i'm
mediate ruling on constitution
ality of the 80-day strike injunc-
tion provision of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act.
The request was made last
week by the CIO United Steel
workers Union. The union asked
the high court to reverse a de-
cision by a Federal judge in
Buffalo, N. Y. December 20, that
the provision is constitutional.
A<main purpose of the unions
petition was to bypass proceed
ings in the United States Court
Of Appeals and bring the issue
Immediately before the Supreme
Court. The high court today
merely noted that it has denied
the petition for review.

tion under the Taft-Hartley Act

members from continuing a

plant of, the American Locomo-
tive Co. The Government sought
the Injunction to keep the plant
in uninterrupted operation for
production of defense materials.
The plant produces nickel-plated
pipe necessary for atomic energy
work.
The Supreme Courts action
today did not close the door to
further court moves to get a
ruling on the constitutional issue.
The union still can go ahead
with its appeal in the United

President Truman's annual

to be read in Congress on
Wednesday. His budget message
for the fiscal year beginning

The new President, however

Bridges. Republican, of New
Hampshire, who remarked that
the Eisenhower message will
differ from Truman,s."
Senator Bridges also predicted
that the G. o. P. will trim the
budget to- be submitted by Presi-
dent Truman. This is expected
to call for spending of about
$50 billion during the next fiscal
year. Senator Bridges said he
believed overall economies would
reduce that figure, but he added
that the new President might
recommend additions to the
military budget if the Korean
war should develop more &C

Assignments Difficult.
The committee assignment
task is more difficult this year.
This results not only from the
change in party control in both
branches but also from plans to
give some key posts to Repub-
licans with good records of party
loyalty. Leaders also are study
ing a plan to give newcomers a
better representation on some of

chairmanships and top positions
will continue on seniority
grounds. The Democrats, with
211 present members and two

selves with fewer assignments.
This will mean the dropping of
some members from committees
