Gas Storage Issue
Revived at Brondywine

eminent domain the right to
store gas 1900 feet under
ground,
Businessmen say the project
would be a major lure to new
industries. especially those
needing large sources Of fuel.
They add that the gas COM
pany's annual $338,000 pay
ment in taxes to the county
would be increased $500
The staff Of the State Eco
nomic Development Commis-
sion, referring to the increased
acceptance Of underground gas
storage, noted that four years
ago there were 1873 such areas
in 20 States, compared to so
areas in II States in 1914.
To insure safety, the Prince
Georges delegation introduced
a companion measure requir-
ing the storage be guided by
regulations drawn by the State
Board of Health, Bureau Of
Mines, Water Pollution Control
Commission. and the Depart
ment Of Geology, Mines, and
Water Resources.
The gas company has tested
the area, lowering 10 million
cubic feet Of inert gas. 1t re-
ports no loss or seepage from
the sand level where water was
displaced by the gas.
Gas officials say they would
never even consider such q
project If there was the slight
est prospect they would lose
money by gas seepage or an
explosion.
The Prince Georges Civic
Federation does not oppose the
project If proper safeguards
are guaranteed, but does oppose
acquiring right by eminent
domain. Other protests have
been promised Tuesday by the
Prince Georges Citizens League
and the Intercommunity Coun-
Gil Of Southern Maryland.
Members iof the delegation
and Board of County Commits
sioners refuse to commit them
selves on the bill.

'Friinges' Push
Legislator Pay
Above $4,000

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb. 1s
(AP) Many Maryland legis-
lators should receive in excess
of $4,000 this year for serving
in the General Assembly and
the Legislative Council.
Only $1,000 Of it is regular
salary. The rest is in fringe
benefits-$20 q day expense al
lowances; postage and mileage
allowances and free phone
calls while the 90-day session
is in progress.
Most delegates fell, however,
their compensation is made
quate for the time spent away
from regular jobs and profess
sions, the year-round nature OF
their legislative duties, and the
expenses the noncommuters
incur in staying in Annapolis.
Seventy-nine members OF
the House of Delegates voted
last week to let voters decide
whether their constitutional
pay (the $1,000 salary should
be doubled to $500.
Thirty-three voted against II
after one Of the hottest debates
Of the current session. op-
ponentS questioned both the
need for a raise and the wis
dom Of voting for it at a time
school teacher and State en-
ploye requests were being
spurned.
The bill cleared by five votes
above the number required for
q constitutional amendment
and now faces action by the
Senate Finance Committee. On
the Senate floor 1t will need
18 Of the 29 votes.
Every legislator at Annapolis
will get a minimum of $3.50
this year because Of the 90-day
session. and If he works this
summer on the Legislative
Council or one Of its many
committees-as most do-he
will receive more.
Here is the way they are
compensated:
$1,000 annual salary-This
is paid in four quarterly in
StallmentS in advance. Legis-
lators are the only State en-
ployes paid in advance.
$1,000 expenses-They will
get $40 q day for the 90-day
session. The figure drops to
$500 for a 30-day session.
Free telephone service-All
senators and delegates can
make State-paid calls any,
where in Maryland and the
District of Columbia during a
legislative session. The bill
was $1l,591.72 at last years
30-day session, an average of
$76.26 each for the 20 senators
and l23 delegates. The COM

AS the Democrats battle, the
Republicans back in Baltimore
County are chortling over the
position Mr.. Boone and his
colleagues have found them
selves in at the General As
sembly.
And whatever wash Is put
on the line in 1862 in Balti-
more County may flap into
other election races.
Gov. Tawes' Position
Gov. Tawes. who appears
likely to seek q second term,
may be affected indirectly. Mr.,
Boone is his legislative leader
in the House. Gov. Tawes sup
ported the Tydings bill but he
didn't take q public stand; ;
some legislators thought he
should have. And the acrimony
engendered by the battle may
overflow into items on the
Tawes Administrators legis-
lative list.
In addition to the Republi-
cans. Mr.. Hume, former State
Democratic Party treasurer.
has been firing broadSides at
Gov. Tawes for months. He has
retained Mrs. Doris Solomon,

On another governmental
level is the End district con-
greSsional seat occupied by
Representative Brewster, a law
partner Of Mr.. Boone and a
political ally Of National Com
mitteeman birmingham. Mr..
Brewster has denied any con-
nection with the savings and
loan activities Of his law as
sociateS.
Mr.. Brewster Is high on the
list Of possible candidates for
the Democratic nomination for
the Senate seat held by Repub-
lican Senator Butler, whose
term expires In 1862. It's no
secret that Mr.. Boone would
like to take another shot at
the congressional post. He
tried twice unsucceSsfully be-
fore his law partner took 1t

The Washington Gas Light
Co. on Tuesday night again
will present its arguments in
favor Of legislation needed to
obtain underground storage
rights in Brandywine, Md.
The hotiy contested proposal
has the support of State and
Prince Georges County busi-
ness groups. while a group OF
southern county area residents
promise to resurrect the attack
that defeated similar bills ir
three previous sessions of the
Maryland Assembly.
The conflicting views are
to be presented before the
county legislative delegation al
a public hearing at 8 pm. In
the Senate chamber Of the
State House, Annapolis.
At issue is a proposed stor-
age Of 80 billion cubic feet oi
natural gas in a dome strata
some 1900 feet under $4,000
acres.
Gas company officials say
the underground storage of a
three months supply Of gas
would be safe, insure an ade.
quate peak-period supply foI
the areas burgeoning popu-
lation and save SIS million
annually.
The SIS million project woulc
not cut present gas rates, but
would help stabilize them, the
company says. Gas could be
bought when summer prices
are low, piped here and stored
for winter use.
Opponents claim underground
gas storage in an area exactly
like Brandywine's exist nowhere
in the United States, and the
project would contaminate
fresh water supply. They also
predict property depreciation
and gas explosions.
The Prince Georges Chamber
Of Commerce, Industrial De-
velopment Committee, and the
Real Estate Board have voted
in favor Of the bill enabling

inspired by the big Federally
chartered and Federally insured
associations who see the brash
new State-chartered multi
stock firms taking business
away from them. Some of the
opponents of the bill sponsored
by Delegate Tydings, an attor-
ney for two Federally insured
companies, claim that bill was
aimed at putting Security FL
nancial out Of business and was
part of the move by the Fed
erals to keep most of the saw

8. How far should a legis-
lator 60 in participating in
legislation in which he has a
personal financial interest?
Success Was Limited
There is no question that the
Delegates involved in Security
Financial have thrown their
weight around in the battle
against the Tydings bill. They
were successful, however, only
in getting a reprieve Of two
years to bring their insurance
in line with provisions Of the
bill.
Mr.. Tydings says this So
called compromise" - which
has not yet received final ap-
proval-does not do violence to
the principle Of his bill. He
said a court Of law probably
would have given the firm time
to comply anyhow.
The fight now moves to the
Case regulatory bill, which has
the strong backing Of Gov.
Tawes. In the House it Is in
the Ways and Means Commit
tee headed by Mr.. Boone.
II there Is any tampering
with the Case bill in the House
committee, Mr.. Boone Is gcing
to get a good share of the
blame. The bill was sent
originally to the House Judici-
ary Committee but Mfr. Boone
asked that it be pulled back and
re-referred to his group.
Considerable resentment has
built UP against Mr.. Boone IN
the House. At the beginning
Of the session, there were q

ARE WE: SAFETY CONSCIOUS OR ACCIDENT PRONE? Consider our daily lives, filled wi tn horrendous news stories of traffic, accidents, magazine articles on the per- ills of living at home, and ceaseless on- the-job campa igns.
 And one might conclude, that as a nation, we are ei ither the most accident prone na ion in the world, or the most safety conscious.
 Whatever the conclusion drawn, fo4A eign observer would be right, for we, ,a90 a nation, are not only the top contender for dubious accident honors, but undoubt edly spend the most money in trying to surpass or lower this very same accident toll.
 Unfortunat tely, individually and col1- actively, we give harbor to a very dan= gerous mental attitude that accidents just don't happen to us. Such blind thinking has been the fertile ground which gives rise to as high an accident rate accumulated by this nation.
 On the working front alone, private and Government industrial plants & act-> ivities have spent, and continue to spend, mi illions of dollars to rectify this thinking on the part of individuals
