Baltimore ronsit Seeks
Upset of Seizure Law

BALTIMORE, Mar. % (P.-
An April 4 court test is planned
for the new State public utilities
seizure law which put Balti-
more's transit system back into
gear after 39-day strike.
The Baltimore Transit Co. has
asked the Federal court here to
upset the law, which it contends
is unconstitutional. The company
also said it is being denied its
rights under the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Union officials, whose men
have been working under State
seizure since March 9, said if
the law is thrown out the strike
could start all over again. The
only reason we went back to
work was to comply with the
law" Frank P Baummer, presi-
dent of the AF'L-CIO local, ex-
planned.
The company's action came
after Gov. McKeldin invoked the
arbitration section of the law,
giving him the power to order
compulsory arbitration after nor
NAL negotiation efforts broke
down.
The union complied with the
order to name an arbiter, but

acres Of low-lying property for
further building development.
They collided. however, with
objections from other communi-
ties in the odzcontrol area.
Opposed to any change in plans
were North Brentwood and
IBladensburg officials. who fear
that alterations at this late date
could delay construction of
other sections of the project.
These two communities have
been among the most heavily
victimized in past floods of the
Anacostia and its branches.
The engineers. moreover, while
polite and sympathetic to the
wishes of the Brentwood dele
CATION. indicated f1rmness in
standing by the original plan.
Hearings Held on Plan
William J. Yarnoff, chief of
the hydraulics structures of the
local Army Engineer Corps dis
trict, said that long before the
engineers settled on a final plan,
approved by Congress in 1946,
his office held numerous hearings
and the views of the localities
were given full consideration.
Brentwood townsmen, led by
Mayor William H. Smith re-
neWed their pitch for relocating
the proposed levee parallel to
and on the Northwest Branch
side of Arundel road and Allison
street. The engineers plan calls
for a curving levee that takes
off from the creek bank near
Thirty-seventh street and crosses
Allison street and Window road
to a point near Webster and
Thirty-fourth streets.
Mr.. Yarnoff emphasized that
the levee plan favored by Brent
wood would cost an additional
$356,000. In addition to ievee
Longer than the one planned by
the engineers. the suggested al
tentative would require erection
.of a pumping station and
STRENGTHENING and partially con-
creting a drainage ditch that
emptieS into the branch.
Need Congress Approval
To get the additional funds,
Mr. Yarnoff emphasized, the en-
gineers would have to return to
Congress for authorization. 1t
lis uncertain how promptly Con-
gress would act, he said. and
this could certainly delay con-
struction of the upper regions
of the project.
Further, he said, the extra
cost would be difficult to justify
in terms of f1ood-relief benefits.
Brentwood's only ally yester-
day was G. M. Holmes, president
of the Prince Georges County

Average Teacher
Raise Is S338.00

The average increase in the
salary schedule of Noble county
teachers will be $338.00 per year,
according to Supt. H. c. Secrest
of the county school system. This
will affect only the teachers in
the county system.
Since there are Il districts in
the system, the salary wage
schedule is different in each dis
trict, governed, of course, by the
board of education.
Under the new law, the in
creases will range from zero to
$500 for some teachers with the
average listed at $4,000.
It was explained that the diff
ference in the amount of increase
for respective teachers is deter
mined on the basis of the num-
ber of years of training and the
number of years of teaching eX-
perlence. 1t is also largely depen-
dent on the enrolment at the
school.
Most of the teachers in the
Caldwell school system will also
receive raise this fall and il
will likewise be governed by
their experience and training.

Just IN case anyone IN Noble

made it one of the wettest Mays

A total of 1886 inches of rain
