Disputed Line

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission yesterday
deleted a s6.6 million. 34-mile-
long sewer line from It's, Ave.
year programs.
The commission approved 0
$e.2 million five-year water
line program without change,
but reduced the sewer con-
struction plans through 1884
to $i9.8 million.
The deleted sewer line. most
ambitious In size among the
WSSC's projects, was to run
from the Lanham- Bowie road
around Upper Marlboro, to the
Patuxent River, six miles down.
stream from Upper Marlboro.
The Prince Georges County
Commissioners had protested
that the project was premature
because there were too few res
idents to pay for 1t. The WSSC
members ignored this view al
the meeting yesterday but took
note that the four counties
which dump sewage into the
Patuxent were studying the
Patuxent River Valley.
The study. begun last year
by Baltimore. Howard, Anne
Arundel and Prince Georges
Counties, is due to be CON-
pleted next year. The WSSC
members agreed that the sewer
project could be re-considered
next fall.
The commission postponed
construction Of q sewer line in
the Northwest Branch Valley
in MONTGOMERY County from
1860 to 1861. It will cost $746.-
900. The Montgomery County
Council had asked for the de-
lay pending completion Of q
master coming plan for the val
ley.
The water program includes
10 new projects estimated to
cost Sal million. Three are in
three miles Of water line and
the remainder are In Prince
Georges consisting Of 1875 miles

PayoffsLaid
ToCoaI Firm

SCRANTON. Pa. Mar. q
(AP).--A United States grand
jury has returned two criminal
indictments charging the Knox
Coal Co. Of Pittston, Pa. with
making payoffs over a five-year
period to a United Mineworkers
official.
Government sources in WASH
ington said the alleged pay
ments involved q so-called
sweetheart contract designed
to preserve labor peace at the
mine. Sweetheart contract Is q
term used In labor circles TO
describe q pact which allegedly
gives greater benefits to the
company than to the employees.
One indictment charged DOM
inic J. Alamo. committeeman
Of UNIV Local 8005 at Port
Grifith, near Pittston. with ac-
cepting $30.755.2l from the
Knox company and two Of its
officials. in violation Of the
Taft Hartley Act. between
May, 1854. and January, 1853.
The Justice Department in
Washington described Alamo
as one Of so men who attended
q reputed "gangland conven-
ton" at Apalachin. N. Y. No
vember IA. 1857.
Justice and Internal Revenue
Service officials here said the
current investigation has no
connection with the January
% disaster at the Knox shaft
at Port Grifith in which IL
men were entombed when the
swollen Susquehanna River
chewed through its bed and
tons of water cascaded into the
Knox mine and several others.
They have been closed since
the food while giant pumps Sd
phon OF the billions Of gallons
of river water.
The second indictm e n
charged that the payments to
Alamo were made by the Knox
company. its president. Robert
L. Doughterty. and its acting
general manager, Louis Fab
riZio.
The Taft-Hartley Act prohib-
its employers from making any
payments to representatives OF
its employees and also bans ac-
ceptance of such payments. The
act provides penalties Of up to
one years imprisonment and q
$4,000 fine for violations.

attorney.
The report based in part on re-
suits of a QUESTIONABLE which was
mailed to boards of realtors, home

associations, Chambers of Com

Reporting for the sub-commit-

report and excerpts from replies
to the questionaires from various
sources. The committee report con-
cluded that there was widespread
discrimination in the housing field
against Negroes and Indians and
some but less di ii on
against members Of the Mime

Another conclusion was that
such discrimination costs the

considerably more to buy a home
than his counterpart In the white
community.
