fendant Virgil Densil Hclmick,
was rendered by a jury in the
circuit court here on Monday. Hell

by the Erie Insurance Exchange

some cattle on U. S. 219, south of
Oakland, which were attempting
to cross the road that day.
The cattle were owned by Claude
Swartzentruber. Helmick struck
eight cows, killing five of them.
Mr.. Swartzentruber was covered
by a liability insurance policy car
ried with Farmers Comprehensive
Personal Liability company and an
amount totaling 81 500 had been
paid by the company to Mr.. Swart-
zentruber. The company was suing
Mr.. Helmick for 81 500.

alleged that Helmick was driving
in reckless and careless manner
and at an excessive rate of speed.
The defendant denied having COM
mitted the wrongs stated in the
declaration.
S. R. Pagenhardt was attorney
for the plaintiff while W. Dwight

Marylanders Prepare
Bloomington Support

MARYLAND Members of Congress
are preparing their support for
initial appropriations toward con-
struction of Bloomington Dam on
the North Branch Potomac.
The sum of 100000 for precon-
struction planning has been in
cluded in President Kennedy S
public works budget for fiscal year
1864 which starts next July. Total
planning costs of the $51 million
project come to SIS million, of
which The requested 100000 is
the first installment
The Bloomington project, de-
signed for flood control, loW-floW
augmentation and recreation bene-
fits, is given top priority by the
Army Corps of Engineers in its
Basin-wide water resources devel-
opment program.
Senator j. Glenn Beall noted
that Senate committee hearings
will be held in about two months.
At the appropriate time in the
hearings, Senator Beall said, he
will testify personally in favor of
the Bloomington item.
Il am very much interested in
this project he stated. Il am do
ing all ! can to obtain appropria-
tions in an orderly fashion for
Bloomington Dam, and | will con-
tinuc to do so. 1t is my firm be-
lief that the project should pro-
cecd without delay"
In the House, Representative
Charles McC. Matthias, Jr., gave
assurances that ne, too, will testi-
fy as a witness in favor of the
appropriation when House COM
mittee hearings are held, probably
in June. Mr.. Matthias said he
strongly supports the project, and
will do all in his power to obtain
the initial financing.
Under law, planning money can
be appropriated by Congress in
advance of agreement among the
local interests on sharing the
actual construction costs of the
dam The local sharing is based
proportionately on the benefits to
be realized by the various munich
palities, counties, States and other
The total local share of the pro-
ject is SIC million, with the bal
ance of the cost tab picked up

biles to Monday midnight. They

Seeing Eye Dog
Gets Free License

A dog license was obtained yes
terday afternoon from the treas
urer's office, for a seeing eye"
dog. The only unusual thing about
that was, it was the first time such
a license had ever been issued.
And the dogs owner, Raymond
Hostetter, Charleroi, Pa, didn't
have to pay anything to get it.
There is a law on the statute
books that such licenses shall be
issued free. Mr.. Hostetter was

tanned a fishing license also. The

Delaying Action
EendS Off New
School Aid Plan
Secretary Of State Finun To
Give Opinion On Passage
Of Late Bills

A stubborn delaying action
Tended off a heavily-backed new
aid to education program early
Tuesday and gave Gov Tawes his
hardest earned victory in the
Legislature.
But the parliamentary method
by which it was achieved left a
bad taste in many mouths and
threatened an end to the custom
of playing tricks with the calendar
and clock The school bill died
without a final vote being taken.
The Democratic administration
had its back to the wall since Sat
urday when unfavorable committee
was upset in the House of Dele
gates.
TaWes leaders went into a slow
down act 1t ended at Alb a. M
Tuesday in the Senate-more than
four hours past the official time
for ending the 9O-day session
when proponents of granting more
money for schools capitulated.
They had enough votes to increase
state aid by S13.5 million but we're
trapped by the rules. They needed
twenty votes to force a count down
on the bill and had only IT,
Frantic mancuvering over "legis-
lative DAYS" in disregard of the
real calendar, turning back the
clock, to never let it reach mid
night and attempts to adjourn
marked the five-hour struggle.
A third attempt to adjourn un-
til next year and leave the cdu-
cation bill in a state of suspension
was a talemate-14-14. But two
! senators surrendered and the ses-
sion concluded by a 1912 vote.
Thus a bill which had been
passed by a decisive 95-34 margin
in the house and had support of a
senate majority died because Gov.
Tawes didn't want it.
1t would have radically changed
the state system for distributing
aid to schools on pupil ratio in
/ I'D Of teacher salaries.
/ When the senate passed the mid
night deadline the clock was
pushed back but this device was
challenged by Sen. Robert p Dean.
He and others argued this would
make any senate action unconsti-
tutional. Debate continued on the
school bill and nine others subse-
quently were enacted. Atty Gen.
Thomas B. Finan will probably
rule later on constitutionality of
the bills passed after the deadline
In other final action Monday
night a senate committee also
adopted negative stands on repeal
of the primary unit vote and eX-
pansion of small loan operations.

Four Young Men
Held On Assault,
Robbery Attempt
Quartet Placed Under $1,000
Bond For Action Of
Grand Jury

Four young men of the area
were arrested on serious charges
of assault with intent to rob, fol-
lowing a complaint by John Dever
Lee, of the Table Rock area.
Mr. Lee told authorities that he
had received some $500 from Harry
White, for a quantity of pulpWood,
and the four young men, who
knew of the transaction. apparent
ly had determined they would OBJ
tain that money
Charged with assault with in
tent to rob are Glen Mayhugh, Jr..
John Harry Beckman. Bushrod
Kenneth Hardesty and Edward
Leonard Rathbun. Brought in for
preliminary hearing March %,
before Trial Magistrate Robert M.
MarOney they were all held for ac-
ton of the September term grand
jury and placed under $4,000 bond
each. All but Hardesty furnished
bond and are now released
Sheriff James E. Frantz said
yesterday that Hardcsty had asked
for an immediate trial and that
the court had appointed Jack Tur-
ney and Clarence Penman as at
tOrneys to defend him. He said the
seriousness of the charge war
ranted the appointment of two de-
fensc attorneys.
The attempt at robbery occurred
the night of March 81, the sheriff
said. When MIR Lee heard a knock
on the door he hid his pOcketbook
containing the money When he
opened the door one of the young
men knocked him to the floor.
Apparently they then became
frightened and fled. Mr.. Lee got
a shotgun and fired at the fleeing
four couple of times, Frantz said.
Only a few persons knew Mr.
Lee had received that amount Of
money from Mr. White, and it
wasn't too difficult to track down
the attempted robbers. The case
was investigated by Trooper first
class Milton Hart and Corporal
! Robert Henline, of the State
police, who made the arrests at
their homes.
