"Details Awaited
On Transit Plan

Proposal to P. U. c.

The District Public Utilities
Commission today settled down

Commission Chairman George
E. C Hayes said Mr.. Colladay
and his client, Morris Fox. pres
ident of the B&F transportation
Co., called on the commission
yesterday afternoon. They said,
he reported, that they would try
to firm up" their deal and then
return to the commission.
Meanwhile, House Commerce
Subcommittee hearings on the
Washington transit crisis were in
recess to see how the maneuver
would work out.
The hearings, held to consider
the District Commissioners bill
setting up a Washington Metro
politan Transit Authority, were
called off until further notice"
after Mr.. Colladay had assured
Subcommittee Chairman Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas, that he
planned to have something
definite" from the present own
ers of the CTC stock in the sim
mediate future"
Three Plans Outlined
Mr.. Colladay had outlined
three different proposals to buy
either the stock Of CTC, It's
assets or just the controlling
stock owned by the interests OF
Louis E. Wolfson, Florida multi
millionaire. There was no in
dication the stockholders would
sell on Mr.. Colladay's terms, but
he insisted he was optimistic.
! He also called for a new
franchise which would guarantee
the company a 7h per cent re-
turn on its investment, tax relief
until that amount of profit was
learned and set up labor arbitra-
Ition procedures which union
leaders indicated they would OPP
pose.
Earlier, the subcommittee
heard District Commissioner

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. q. The
Baltimore Transit Co. and union
officials were under an ultimatum
from Gov. McKeldin today either
to settle the 33-day-old strike
there or have the company seized
by the State.
The Governor was slated to
sign the seizure bill at IL am.

In a statement last night, the
Governor indicated he would not
invoke the powers Immediately.
Throughout the evening, At
torney General c. Ferdinand Sy-
bert, an aide and Public Service
Commission counsel Joseph Allen
conferred with the Governor on
the bill.
Asks Orders Prepared
The Governor said he would
ask the Attorney General to pre-
pare all the legal orders and
documents necessary for seizure
when these preliminary steps
have been taken, the law will be
invoked unless the strike has
been settled in the meantime, or
the contending parties can con-
vince me that they are making
a serious effort at sincere nego-
tiation and that a settlement is
imminent" the Governor said.
The Governor warned both
parties that mere offers and
counteroffers would not suffice.
II am convinced that the I'M
settled issues can be re-
solved around the conference
table by negotiators who sin
cerely want the strike brought
to a quick end" he said. 1T will
be either this or seizure"

that unless the buses start roll
ing, the seizure law will be in
voked.
The Governor also congratu-
lated the General Assembly for
passing the measure.
1.-THE Legislature is to be COM
mended for showing concern
for the people, which obviously
was lacking in the company and
union,' the Governor said, in
the text of his Baltimore speech.
The seizure bill. which pro-
|vides for compulsory arbitration
lii the parties cannot get to-
gether, applies to all public utili-
ties. It will expire Is days
after adjournment of the 1857
Legislature.
Wants Permanent Solution
In his Baltimore speech text
the Governor said the strike and
subsequent developments have
pointed up on thing:
"In our highly industrialized,
urban society. we no longer can
view the labor relations of public
utilities in the same light as
competitive industries. A per-
manent way must be provided
for the settling Of dispute be-
tween management and en-
ployes without resort to danger
Gus, costly work stoppages."
Two days ago, the Governor
met separately with company
and union officials and after
wards expressed optimism at
the possibility of their reaching
a settlement.
The union wants a 20-cent-
an-hour wage increase, fringe
benefits including a funded
pension plan and a one-year
contract.
The company's best offer has
been an 18-cent-an-hour in
crease IN three instalments, a
three year contract, study of
the funded plan and other side
benefits.
The seizure bill was bitterly
opposed by both union and
public utility officials.

Washington has 668 classes with

simply can not do an adequate
job. Mr.. Gilliland said:

At 90 Years of Age

tai of 10000 square feet of retail
sales space The expansion also in
cluded practically doubling the
parking facilities to provide for 260
cars and additional parking for en-
ployes in a private alley.
Bonds son. William, was in
charge of the development Of the
center and now manages the build
ing. Bond acquired the 10-acre site
in 1921 for about $4,000 He built
his family home on one corner and
the balance of the property con-
sisted of citrus groves and some
pecan trees. The development be-
gan in 1850 and the family home
was moved nearby in 1858.

Owners Are Key
To Future Timber

How adequately this Nation is
able 10 meet its future timber needs
depends in large part upon farm
woodland owners and owners of
other small woodland tracts, ac-
cording TO Harry W. Dengler, Uni
versity of Maryland Extension for
ester.
The Forest Service of the US.
Department of Agriculture recent
ly released a survey Of United
States timber resources. The re-
suits of this survey point TO the
"a million farm forest owners and
over million other owners of
small private forest tracts as the
key" to this country's forest prob
lem
A comparison of estimated United
States timber needs by the end of
this century with supplies that can
be expected on the basis of present
trends in forestry indicates that we
will be considerably short of saw

That's the problem, says Dengler
Here's how the small-acreage own
er of forest land farmer or other
figures in it.
Three-fourths of all commercial
forest land is in private ownership.
Only IS percent is owned by the
forest industries. Sixty percent of
all our timber lands occur on farms

are small in size, and "a million

Farmers and other small land
owners lag behind public agencies
and forest industries in maintain
ing and improving the growth and
yield on their forest lands. Condi-
ton of recently cutover land is
related to the size of the holding,
with the smallest acreages faring
worst Yet these smaller holdings
are vital part of our total timber
resources.
Bringing all our forest lands up
TO the level of productivity neces-
sary to meet our foreseeable future
needs calls for increased stocking
through better forest practices and
planting, better control of insects
and diseases, and more complete
utilization of cut timber. cor timber
cut in 1852, one cubic foot out Of
every four was wasted.) All these
needs apply particularly to the
small forests where present pro.
ductivity is lowest.
