With Curb on Costs
Star sta6 Photo.

A projected Chamber Of Com
merce campaign to attract in
dustry to Prince Georges will
have the backing of the county
commissioners. provided taxpay-
ers are not required to shoulder
all the costs.
The commissioners at Upper
Marlboro yesterday indorsed the
plan in principle but baked at
mandatory provisions of a reso-
luton submitted by the cham
Der to county legislators for in
PRODUCTION in the Maryland leg
islature.
Language of the resolution di-
recrs the county heads to name
an 11-member committee and to
appropriate up to $25,000 to f.
nance technical and clerical aid
in appraising the county's in
duStrial potentialities. Members
Of the committee would serve for
two years without pay and would
report by December l each year.
Attorney Ralph w. Powers,
representing the chamber, said
approval of the resolution by the
legislature and the commission
ers would help convince indus
trialists of the county's friendly,
attitude. He added that he did
not believe the resolution as
written would require a county
appropriation but agreed to
amend it to permissive form.
The board held the value of q
survey is questionable, and said
the county's businessmen should
pay a substantial part sof the
cost Of such a drive in whatever
form it may take.
In other business the commits
sioners tentatively accepted an
offer Of the l.. g. S. Construction
Co. Of Laurel. to build 5000 feet
Of sidewalks in Chillum Special
Improvement District No. 48 for
$8.881.50. The bid. lowest Of
seven. will be referred to the
district residents for their ap-
proval before the contract is
awarded.
Administration of all of the
county's special improvement
districts was placed yesterday
under the supervision of the Pub
lie Works Department.
The commissioners denied,
without comment. a request of
the County Policeman's Associa-
ton for insurance covering off,

Beverley Would LEI
Voters Decide on
Buying Water Firm

Alexandria Mayor Marshall j.
Beverley. who is on record OPP
posing city purchase of the pri-
vately owned Alexandria Water
Co., wants referendum to let
voters decide the issue.
The referendum was proposed
by the Mayor at a meeting Of
the council last night. He asked
City Attorney v. Floyd Williams
to see how much time the city
has to request a referendum so
it may be held at the council
election this June. No other
member of council volunteered
to support his proposal.
Vice Mayor Leroy Bendheim,
who first suggested that the city
consider buying the water COM
pany, told Mayor Beverley he
didn't favor a referendum before
hearing results of an engineer
ing survey which the council
authorized last month to de-
termine If municipal purchase
of the water company is prac-
tical.
Trial Board Amended.
In other business, the council
instructed City Attorney Will
liams to amend police trial board
regulations, eliminating the po-
lice chief as an advisory member
of the board and giving the
board authority TO make punish
ment recommendations.
At present the police chief sits
as an advisory member of the
trial board, but has no vote in
its decision. The trial board
only can return findings of guilt
or Innocence, but cannot. rec
ommend the, extent of punish-,
ment. Mr.. Bendheim said he
thought it inadvisable and un-
fair to the accused for the de-
.partment =, head who presum-
ably would be the chief prose-
cutting witness-to sit with the
trial board in It's deliberations.
Trailer Park Denied.
An application for a special
use permit to operate trailer
park on one and half acres of
land on South Early street was
denied by unanimous vote of the
council. Approval Of the appli-
cation had been recommended
by a AZ vote of the planning
commission.
Councilman Daniel F. o.
Flaherty failed to get any sup
port for a motion to place police,
f1remen and traffic control en-
ployes on a f1ve-day week begin
ming July /. Employees of these
city departments now work six
days a week. Reduction Of their
work week by one day would cost
an estimated $150,000 for new
employees.

Right-to-Work
Legislation
House Move Aimed
At Lifting Federal
Sanction of Law
BY ChoTIeS I. HoffFnon
Star Stuff corraspandent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Debate
over so-called right to work"
legislation was out in the open
today. with labor forces getting
in the first licks.
Delegate Samuel A. Culotta.
Republican, of Baltimore City
yesterday introduced a resolu-
ton in the House condemning
such legislation.
The measure, to be trans
mitted to Maryland's S Representa-
tives in Congress if passed, also
calls on Congress to repeal the
section of the Labor Manage
ment Relations Act on 1948
which permits this type Of leg
islation at the State level.
The resolution declares that
only II States-12 of them in
the South-have such right-to-
work laws.
"T'he majority of such laws
have been enacted by Southern
States with the express intent of
Turing industries from Northern
States to low-wage areas in the
South" the resolution reads.
Resolution to Committee.
Right-to-work laws are aimed
at barring union membership or
non-membership as prerequisites
for holding a job.
The measure condemlling such
laws was referred to the House
Labor Committee.
Even as Mr.. Culotta's resolu-
ton was being introduced Sena-
tor James c. Weinroth, Demo-
crat, of Cecil County was putting
new touches on a right-to-work
bill he said he will introduce. The
Senator said he would strike
from the proposed bill any prohi-
bition to the collection of union
dues by employers.
Fear Bid for Fight.
Opponents of such a measure
fear that Mr.. Culotta's resolution
is inviting a fight on a proposal
that its hackers have had trouble
even finding a sponsor for.
Right-to-work legislation has
been tagged as labor's leading
target in the Assembly. The
seriousness with which it is
viewed by labor is indicated in
the announcement yesterday Of
a $59-a-plate dinner-free to
legislators on invitation -
planned here February Is by the
District Of Columbia Maryland
Federation of Labor-something
new in the legislative routine.

Council Freezes
Jobs on Eve Of
Recess Study
Votes. 4 to 3, to
Wait Results of
Managers Survey

Montgomery's new $13,000-a-
year county manager today faces
the prospect Of tackling as his
first assignment a full-scale in
vestigation of the county govern
ment's manpower.
And he'll have to do 1t with
no extra help.
The all-Democratic County
Council in a surprise move yes
terday clamped a freeze on hir-
ing until the employe review is
completed.
The freeze order split the
board, 4-3, after it had unani-
mously approved the appoint
ment of Melvin L. Reese. 47-year-
old Federal administrator, to the
county managers post.
Mr.. Reese will take over his
new job on February %.
Bitter opposition marked the
passage of the freeze resolution,
proposed by Councilman Wilbur
N. Baughman. He called 1t an
economy move in line with
Democratic campaign promises
last year.
No Request by Reese.
He said he believed Mr.. Reese
would welcome the freeze, but
acknowledged that the new man
ager didn't ask for it."
Joining him in support Of the
order were Councilmen Jerry T.
williams, Charles H. Jamison
and Robert T. Snure.
Mr.. Reese himself. contacted
last night, declined comment on
the freeze order.
He was instructed to deter
mine the number of county em-
ployes, their qualifications and
grades and to discover. what de-
partments are overstaffed or
underStaffed.
Mr.. Baughman said the study
might uncover some suggestions
for changing the setup of the
Personnel Board.
officials privately predicted the
freeze would have a demoralizing
effect on county employees. since
it bans promotions and the
granting of permanent status to
temporary employees. +"
The council itself ignored its
own stand by appointing a cost
accountant, George B. Bloomer,
jr.. and two clerk-typists, Doris
Thorn and Mary Louise Stanton.
These appointments, however.
were on the council agenda,
whereas the freeze resolution was
an unscheduled move.
13 Positions Listed.
Ironically, the County Per-
sonnel Board yesterday issued a
bulletin listing 13 positions open
in county government. The
vacancies included the job Of
chief of division of tuberculosis
at top salary of $3.50. The
other IL jobs had beginning
salaries ranging from $3,328 to
$6,427.
The council wrestled with the
controversial community pool
issue once more, reaffirming it's
support of the coming ordinance
that requires a majority Of the
membership of a community
swim club to live within a half
mile Of the pool. However, it
promised to schedule a public
hearing on the issue.
1t authorized the preparation
Of new ordinance which would
remove the half-mile restriction
in special cases. Requests for
pool permits would take into ac-

Television sooner or later gets
around to everything, even to
startling PHILOSOPHERS developed
in the gloom of night clubs.
The philosophy in point at the
moment was spawned by a man
who had quite q success, though
1t was temporary, operating a
plush bistro here.
He owed this largely to the
producer with whom he was al
lied, a man who put his faith
In both tasteful shows and stel-
lar names. The man IN charge,
however, made q brave try at
understanding the mysteries of
show business. Hints of his
search for this knowledge kept
cropping up. There was for in
stance, the time when he was
happily surveying his room filled
with paying customers.
II know now what you got to
do to do business in this busi-
ness" he said to his producer.
"You got to hire big names. But
what we're going to do is get
big names nobody ever heard of.
They're cheaper"

1t was inevitable that some
body would translate this stroke
of sheer genius To television
terms and February 8 will see

proach to play casting. Star

star billing for the first time to
