Medical examination Of the
body of the Opanowich infant
revealed no evidence of NOR
phine or barbiturates, Dr.. Geof-
frey Mann. chief Virginia medi-
cal examiner, reported at Rich
mond today.
DR.. Mann said the request by

ton was limited to determining

Mrs. Marian Lowe, 81, of Shir-
ley-Duke Apartments. had told
police of driving her mother to
the spot Wednesday night.
Yesterday, DR.. Mann had re-
ported that he had found no
trace of human remains in ashes
from the Opanowich furnace in
their home at Ills South Eight
zenith street.
Mrs Opanowich. AZ. arrested
and charged with the infants
murder, had answered. "yes." to
a police question whether she had
thrown the baby in the furnace.
Police went to the home after
a neighbor called and said she
had heard that Mrs. Opanowich
was planning to dispose of the
5-day-old infant.
Mrs. Opanowich is in the jail

tion by three Washington psy-

Action PaVes Way
For State 10 Help
Build Canal Pa ParkWay
By Chorles l. Hoffman
Stor Stoff Cogrespondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. lS.-The
way was open today for intro
= duction of a bill permitting
Maryland to participate in con-
Struction Of parkway along the
old Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal
from Hancock to Cumberland.
Western Maryland Delegates
yesterday induced the House
Ways and Means Committee to
kill a resolution urging that
ownership of the canal be trans
ferred from the Federal Gov
eminent to the State.
Delegate H. P. Whitworth, jr.,
Republican, of Allegany County
said favorable action on the
canal parkway resolution would
have jeopardized the construc-
ton of the 48-mile stretch
sought by the western coun-
ties.
The committee was told by
Joseph Buscher, assistant attor-
ney general. he understood Sen
ator Beail, Republican. of Mary
land feels Congress would grant
funds for construction of the
parkway during this session. He
said Federal and State officials
are cooperating on the mat
ter.
Mr.. Buscher said the 48-mile
link would cost the Federal Gov
ernment from So million to $40
million.
The State, he said, would be
called on to spend about $3.50, 900
to 100000 for purchase of some
400 acres of right-of- way.
The original proposal for the
canal parkway called for it to
extend from the District to Cum
berland, some $50 miles. 1t would
have cost the Federal Govern
ment SIT million and the State
more than 81 million.
The original proposal for the
parkway met opposition from
some sections of Washington,
Frederick and Montgomery
Counties.

Deficit Of S378,292
Faced in Calvert
By J. L. MichoeI
Stor Staff Correspondent

PRINCE FREDERICK, Md,
Feb. 18.-TaXpayerS of Calvert
County-the smallest in Mary
land-today faced the prospect
of making up a $378.292 deficit
In school funds.
DR.. 4 Thomas G. Pullen. jr..
State superintendent of schools.
disclosed that a joint audit by
State and county officials shows
the school system has an oper-
ating deficit of $205,942 and a
deficiency of $172.350 in its con-
struction fund account.
After comforting here yester-
day with the County Commits
sioners, William R. Hughes, the
county school superintendent
for more thanH20 years, and a
group of businessmen, DR.. Pull
len said:
There is not a scintilla of
evidence of dishonesty or
fraud"
Rather. he said, it is a case of
the School Boards accounting
system and general procedure
being faulty. Funds from vari-
Gus sources, he said. were placed
in one account with the result
that money intended for one
purpose had been spent for an
other.
For example, he said, $4,000
more than was appropriated had
been spent for maintenance.
Meanwhile, the county's mem
bers of the General Assembly
were working on two new laws
resulting from the situation here.
Yesterday. Delegates James
Hance and John w. Hall spon-
sored a bill to give the Calvert
County commissioners authority
to make an annual audit of the
school boards accounts. State
Senator Louis Goldstein said to-
day he was having a bill pre-
pared that would apply to all
counties and will require school
boards to maintain separate ac-
counts of their construction and
operating funds. This. he said,
was at the suggestion of DR..
Pullen.

.Ex-Pub|icity Official
Tells Of Fees Paid 10
Maryland Road Aide
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. ia for
mer public relations company
executive testified yesterday that
he paid for frequent trips for a
Maryland highway Official. and
also gave him an unspecified
amount Of money for his in
formation and advice.
The executive, Reynolds Grid
Ter, formerly with Carl Byoir AS
sociates, said in a deposition
taken at the Federal Court House
that he frequently entertained
Clinton M. johnson, a former
public relations official of the
Maryland State Highway Com
mission.
Mr.. Girdler said that to "his
best recollection or knowledge"
he had not boasted that a pub
licity release issued by Mr.. john
son had helped get Gov. Fine of
Pennsylvania to veto a bill
favored by truck operators.
Thirty seven long distance
trucking firms and the Pennsyl-
vania Motor Truck Association
filed $3.50 million antitrust
suit in Philadelphia last month
charging that 35 Eastern rail-
roads and the Carl Byoir firm
had engaged in a secret cam
paigr to discredit truckers in the
eyes of the public, and to prevent
passage of the truck bill.
The truckers also complained
in their suit that the Byoir Or
ganization had paid Mr.. John
son for issuing "a misrepresented
and distorted account" of road
tests made in Maryland.
Richardson Dllworth, attorney
for the trucking firms and also
district attorney of Philadelphia,
charged Mr.. Girdler was evading
questions in replies he gave yes
terday during the taking of the
deposition preliminary to the
trial
This evoked a storm of pro-
tests from about IS lawyers pres
ent as representatives of various
defendants.
Mr.. Dilworth charged the
Byoir firm had destroyed some
Of it's records. Francis C. Reed,
Byoir lawyer, limited strongly
that some of the records missing
had been stolen.
The contract between Byoir
and the railroads, which was in
troduced at the deposition hear
ing. showed the railroads agreed
to pay Byoir a 900 fee an
nually, plus expenses up to
$250,000 annually.
One years estimated expenses,
it was testified by Byoir Presi-
dent Gerry Swinehart, was
$274.190. There was no break
down of what the expenses went
for.
The vetoed bill would have
permitted trucks to carry heavier
cargoes on Pennsylvania roads.
