Dispute Is Wafer
Over The Dam Now.
~ The Asscsiussd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. IA.
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
issued an opinion yesterday
which it said should ring down
tile last-act curtain in q drama
Of quarrelling neighbors.
The case originated in Mont
gomery County Circuit Court
when Mr.. and Mrs. Herman r.
Hancock sought to have Mrs,
Merriam M. Stull and her late
husband remove q wall the Han
cocks said was damming up
water on their property In the
100 block Of Grafton street.
The Hancocks built their
house on q higher lot than the
Stuiis and the grading caused
water to drain ont6 the neigh
boris property. The Stulls built
an 18-inch wall. 90 feet. along
the property.
In April. 1852, the Court Of
Appeals remanded the case to
the lower court which had re-
fused to demand removal Of the
wall on grounds the Hancocks
had changed the natural fiow Of
the water.
The Montgomery County
| Court. n, n ciIaYacallnr'x flnctsion
then ordered q plan whereby
part OF the water would be re-
moved and a ditch dug along
the property line by the two
parties.
Again the case was appealed
by the Hancocks.
I'VE find nothing In the case
to suggest that there was error
in the decree he chancellor
passed" the court said.

Labor Leaders Apply
Pressure 10 Defeat
'Riqht-to-Work Bill
b. The As.oeia,sd Prs.s

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. a.
Labor leaders from all over Mary
land have started putting pres
sure on the General Assembly to
defeat any effort to outlaw COM
pulsory union membership as a
condition OF employment.
Such q bill. known as the
fright to work law" has not
been introduced this session, but
Is fully expected. The bill never
received action at two past
sessions.
Organized labor is out to beat
it again before 1t gets started.
Strategy Outlined.
The CIO and ALL summoned
$50 Of is local officers to a lunch-
con in the State capital to OUT
line the strategy for the fight.
Afterward, they deployed through
the Statehouse with each officer
contracting his representatives In
the Legislature to solicit their
opposition to the right to work"
bill.
Gov. McKeldin at a banquet of
the Maryland State and District
Of Columbia Federation of Labor
in Baltimore last May 26 spoke
against the right to work. law.
Labor leaders estimated about
100000 Marylanders now are re-
quired to maintain union mem
bership to continue working.
The first Maryland sign of q
movement to make such i re-
qiireine1t illegal came Iii 1857
when Senator ne dden, Democrat,
of Caroline introduced a bill
shy request" He subsequently
withdrew 1t before any action
was taken on 1t.
Didn't Meet Requirements.
Last year, former Delegate
Marshall. Republican. Of Mont
gomery introduced IL again. The
Rules Committe refused to let it
be considered on the ground it
didn't meet requirements for
legislation which is restricted at
the 30-day sessions.
An organization to promote
the fright to work" law has been
formed In Baltimore and is head
ed by Edward P. Colwill, q gem
eral contractor.
Seventeen States have the law
and it has become sueh an issue
that it caused q split in the Els
enhower administration. James
p. Mitchell, the Secretary Of La
Dor. has denounced the law and
urged the II States to repeal it.
President Eisenhower twice
has declined to support his Sec
retary's position.

The Citizens, Committee TO
Unity Montgomery County Plan
ming is in agreement on three
major points, but there the unity
ends.
The committee last night
adopted an interim majority
report calling for creation Of a
MONTGOMERY County planning
commissions and the Maryland
National Park and Planning
Commission
A minority report was filed,
however, by a group headed by
o. w. Anderson. E. Brooke Lee
and Don Lamborne, calling for
abolition Of the upper county
commission and extension OF the
jurisdiction Of the park ana
planning commission throughout
the county.
Points Of Agreement.
Both groups, however, sup
ported proposals that the County
Council appoint the members Of
the planning commission and that
the council. In legislative session,
establish the tax for the COM
mission without putting it In
composition with other budgetary
items during the June budget
hearings.
Both groups also had Ngood
things to say about the park and
planning commission.
The interim report represents
ing the majority viewpoint said
the committee would also like
to pay tribute to the work Of the
MNCPPC." The committee,
however, deleted from the orig
inal draft Of the report submit
ted by Chairman william L.
Slayton q reference that the
planning commission has done
IAN outstanding job" and that
the county lis one of the best
planned areas In the United
States"
Want Curb on Towns.
The committee also ar. ended
an opinion prepared b three
leading attorneys in the charter
movement, asserting that 1t
makes no difference whether the
park and planning commission
Is retained Ia its present form or
q new countrywide planning
commission Is established. Their
coming authority would be jeop-
ardized by municipalities unless
safeguards are provided in the
State general laws under the
Municipal Home Rule Amend
ment.
The three attorneys. J. Doug
las Bradshaw, Frederic p Lee
and David Macdonald, urged
that a bill proposed by the
Maryland Municipal League be
amended to provide that no
municipal corporation be per-
mitted to undertake planning
and coming authority, II such
authority Is already exercised by
another agency, without d ref
erendum in the latter's territory.
The majority wants its pro-
posed county wide commission to
prepare q cO-ordinated schedule
Of public improvements for rec
concentration to the County
Council. to review the irlstaIIa-
ton Of all public facilities and
to undertake social and economic
studies Of the county.
Fear DAILY" Control.
The minority said 1t might be
INSTANTANEOUS to lcAg- sighted
and independent planning II
control Of the planners CON
tinued as q daily or monthly
matter, either In the power Of
the County Council or that Of
the county manager"
The majority emphasized
that the proposed county-wide
planning commission would take
on as many members Of the
existing stan of the two agen-
cies Is possible and all would
be under the county merit
system.
