was smashed by a Boston-bound
Pennsylvania Railroad train.
The two occupants of the
car were killed instantly, about
80 minutes after the Seabrook
crossing guard went off duty
at 10 pm, according to Police
Pvt. w. j. Switzer.
Dead are Bertram F. Toney,
%, of 2728 Twenty-eighth street
NE, and his companion, Helen
L. Hopkins, 20, of ia Eighth
street. Bowie, Md.
Charles Maize, chairman OF
the board of directors of the
Citizens group, said the rail-
road should keep a watchman
on duty at least until 1890
am. After 10 pm. the crossing
is guarded only by stop signs.
This area is growing every
day and the heavy traffic is
making Seabrook road a major
highway" Mr.. Maize said.
He said completion of a new
high school next fall at Glenn
Dale and Telegraph roads will
bring even more traffic over
Seabrook road.
Any request for longer watch
man hours would be referred
to the PennSylvania's engineer
ing division, according to Craig
E. Taylor, the company's public
relations director. He was not
able to estimate how much
time would be required for a
decision.
Three teen-agers reported to
police at the wreck scene that
they saw Mr.. Toney's car turn
onto the rain-swept road only
minutes before the crash, ap.
parently eliminating the theory
the sedan might have become
stuck on the tracks.
The three also said a fourth
boy, unknown to them by name,
had stopped at the crossing and
attempted to wave down the
car before it crossed in front
of the l1-car passenger train.

On the reapportionment issue,
Gov. Tawes is going to have 10
use a big club if he is to get
enough support to pass his pro-
gram. 1t will require three
flfths vote Of both houses Of
the General Assembly to get
the plan onto the ballot in a
constitutional referendum.
The reapportionment bill
would increase the House Of
Delegates to give more repre-
sentation to fast-growing coun-
ties. Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Anne Arundel and Bal
timore Counties would be the
first to benefit.
The Governors plan is op-
posed by rural legislators who
don't want to dilute their
strength in the General Assem-
bly, and by Baltimore City law
makers who object because
their city would not get addi-
tional delegates.
Gov. Tawes has called a
meeting of legislative leaders
for Tuesday to TRY to get the
team organized for action" on
reapportionment.
A committee hearing is
scheduled at 8 pm. Wednesday
on another major piece of legis-
lation. This is an administra-
ton sponsored bill to revise the
state road building program.
Under the road bill, con-
struction for the next five years

The joint hearing will have

One is Gov. Tawes' pay plan,

would give $500 raises to teach

The other is a bill sponsored

raises for all teachers and a
State minimum pay scale of
$4,000 to $4,000.
Bill to Finance Cost
A bill which won't be intro

at the hearing, but which un-
doubtedly will be brought up
in the discussion, is one to
finance the cost of the teacher
