14-Th Unclassified State Jobs At Issue ANNAPOLIS (AP)-Mary- land's largest organization of a employes announced Thursday it will file suit to try to force the state to place some 5,000 unclassified jobs in the state merit system. Arthur Caple president of the Maryland Classified Em- ployes Association, said cabi- net-level secretaries have en- gaged in a "planned course of the rape of the merit system." He said the more than 5,000 jobs--a high proportion of which have been created in recent years-carry salaries ranging from $5,000 to $35,000. Caple said the secretaries "claim that they need special people in these special posi- tions," but that "we have people in the classified system who could do all these jobs." "There's nn reason to go to the outside," he said. Caple and other officials of the assiciation met with Gov. Marvin Mandel and Henry Bosz, state personnel secretary, Thursday afternoon to inform them of the suit.

Caple said the governor told them he would ask for an in- vestigation of the complaints. The suit will be filed against Bosz and Harry R.

He said if MCEA wins its suit against Hughes, other secretar- ies would be asked to comply with the court order. In addition to the court ac- tion, Caple said the association also will ask the General As- sembly to enact legislation re- quiring virtually all jobs below the deputy secretary level to be filled through procedures. merit system is designed to bring to Wheeling successful urban a stories, and asked that whoever attends the meeting should plan a half-hour presentation with a question and answer period following. Arrested For Two women yesterday after- noon were arrested by city po- lice on charges of shoplifting at the Acme Market in White Oaks. A hearing will be held in District Court.

The women, ac- cording to police, will be repre- sented by Paul public defender. Michael Shillingburg, store manager, said there hag been a rash of shoplifting incidents at the business plice and it Is becoming serious problem. He said there have been an average of six or more cases a week and he is "trying to break" the problem through prosecution. Store personnel, he nid, watching tor shoplifters jty State Treasurer Edwin Scha- Schamel said that although there is a paper deficit, it is "vary rare" that a state check arrives at a bank when there ac- tually isn't enough money cover it. He citfid three such occasions since the state policy con- cerning its interest-free, de- mand accounts was changed in to As 1971.

Schamel Potomac Edison explained the practice, the deficits are sim- ilar to paper deficits which sometimes occur in personal checking accounts when a de- positer writes a "hot check" knowing he will make a deposit to cover the check before it reaches the bank for payment. The only real deficit is that in the case of the state, the amounts are counted in the mil- lions instead of a few dollars. Schamel said, for example, that at the close of business on Wednesday, the state account at Maryland National Bank showed a deficit on paper of about $42 million, but that there was actually $9.3 million sitting in the bank. Mandel offered the allega- tions that banks are allowing the state to overdraw its ac- counts to back up his efforts to discredit a genes of articles in "The Washington Post" con cerning the operation of the state treasurer's office. Although the articles were critical mostly of the system and not of Luetkemeyer, Man del has gone to great lengths to extol the virtues of th treasurer, who is also the head of Equitable Trust Mary land's second largest bank.

"Mr. Luetkemeyer is one of the best public officials I've ever met in my life, and the bank suffers because he is the the governor said.
