State Unit Files Action On Rentals The State Commission on Hu man Relations has filed an equity suit in Allegany Countj Circuit Court seeking a man datory injunction to require William Diamond to cease dis criminatory practices the com mission alleges in the rental 20 apartments located over his restaurant at 49 East Main Street in Frostburg. Miss Linda Scott, a black stu- dent at Frostburg State College from Aberdeen, filed the com- plaint against Mr. Diamond, July 3. 1972.

She contended that she attempted to rent one of his apartments for the summer of 1972 and was told that "no colored" would be rented apart- ments. Treadwell 0. Phillips, ex- ecutive director of the commis- sion, and the commission staff investigated the complaint and, according to the equity suit, fil- ed a finding August 31, 1972, that probable -cause existed for believing that discrimination had occurred. The bill of complaint states that attempts were made to eli- minate the misunderstanding through conferences, conciliation and persuasion but to no avail. A public hearing was con- ducted by the state commission in Allegany County March 30.

The commission noted that at least one of the 20 apartments was vacant and that Mr. Dia- mond had rented none of his apartments to Negroes. The commission filed an order April 19 instructing Mr. Dia- mond to post a sign noting the existence of a vacant apart-, ment, to notify Frostburg State' College of the vacancy and to; pay Miss Scott S150 damages. Mr.

Diamond has not complied! with the provisions of the order, the bill of complaint concluded, and it sought a mandatory in- junction requiring him to carryj lne Sanitary Market, 300 Virgi- out these provisions. a last night due to Frostburg man filed an a faulty compressor line in a from the commission's order ini ora area the first floor.

Barton Gets Check For Recreation Land The Town of Barton has received a state check for $3,713 representing 50 per cent of the money the community paid some time ago for nearly two acre: of land for a recreation center. The acreage is in the center of Barton adjacent GRADUATE William C.

Menges Jr. of 12 Forest Drive received a A degree in psychology yester- day from Lafayette College, Easton. Pa. A son of Mr. and Mrs.

William Menges, he is a graduate of Fox Chapel High School, Pittsburgh. He participated in intramurals at Lafayette and was social chairman of his fraternity. Firemen Get Three Calls Citv firemen were called to Cub Scout Pack Plans Fun Fair Cub Scout Pack 23. sponsored to Main Street and Conroy's Hil Road. Barton paid $7,426 for the 1.76 acres, and the state check was made through Maryland's Program Open Space.

Plans call for a baseball field with two dugouts, fencing and backstop. A 300-seat bleacher will be constructed and two parking lots will be provided. One of the lots will be flooded and used for ice skating in the winter months. Other features of the recrea- ion project will include a con- cession stand, toilet facilities, drinking fountain and sewer and water lines. The Project Open Space ef- forts are coordinated through the local office of the Depart- ment of Natural Resources and in the case of the Barton proj- ect, the local project coordinator was James Shaw, the mayor of Barton.

Ray E. Johnson, Project Open Space officer for Wash- ington and Allegany counties, said yesterday the role the local project coordinators play in se- curing state funds for various recreation projects is one that usually receives little attention. He said many of the coordina- tors are volunteers and they spend countless hours wading through paper work, making tel- ephone calls and writing letters in an effort to get their projects approved and the money al- lotted. Besides Mr. Shaw in Barton, another coordinator now active is James Ma-thews, president of the Ellerslie Athletic Associa- tion.

That community is plan- ning a ball field area. Dr. Har- old Cordts of Frostburg State College handles Frostburg's pen Space efforts and Dick Blair, a Midland councilman, is active in that community.

The hearing will start at 9 a.m. in the Interior Department auditorium, 18th and streets, N.W. It will cover regulations proposed to the department, un- der the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, in the Federal Register of January 15, 1973.

The hearing has been called in response to a request from the Bituminous Coal Operators' Association. Last A i Congressman Goodloe E. Byron (D-Sixth), conducted a black lung clinic in Lonaconing and more than 400 miners and their widows at- many of them process- ing applications for benefits as a result. By law, coal miners with medical evidence i development of pneumoconiosis (black lung) may transfer to jobs in work places where dust levels are lower than those allowed elsewhere in the mine. Purpose of the proposed rules is to make certain that places where eligible miners a transferred meet the stringent dust limits set by federal law.

Under the proposed regula- tions, whenever such a transfer is made, the mine operator would be required to sample the miner's new working place to determine the dust concen- tration. The sampling require- ment would also apply to work- ing areas from which, because of existing low dust levels, eligi- ble miners do not have to be transferred. An eligible miner's workplace would have to be sampled again whenever the area of the mine in which it is located was cited for a respirable dust violation. Persons wishing to testify at the hearing should write or call the Deputy Director-Health and Safety, Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior, Wa- shington, D.C., 20240, or call 202- 3434041 no later than Monday.

(Obituaries on page 10) Garreft Freeway Bids Due Maryland's final portion of National Freeway will be con- traded out this month when the Stae Highway Administration opens bids for a segment Garrett County. The National Freeway is Maryland's portion of Development Highway System which will connect Baltimore to the Ohio River Valley and the midwest.

The bids will be opened at noon on June 19 in the SHA building at 300 West Preston Street, Baltimore. When the Freeway is com- pleted, Western Maryland will have the opportunity to develop a self-sustaining economy and increased employment opppor- tunities, according to Bernard M. Evans, state highway ad- ministrator. This particular a begins in Garrett County at a point nine-tenths of a mile west of U.S. Route 219 North, and extends westerly to a point .54 of a mile east of Shade Hollow Road, for a distance of 2.474 miles.

Other aspects of the contract include grading, drainage and paving of eight-tenths of a mile of interchange ramps located in the National Freeway, Maryland Route 495 interchange area; of Maryland Route 495 throughout the interchange area, for a distance of .38 of a mile; of relocated New Germany Road from U.S. Route 40 and extend- ing south to existing New Ger- many Road, .95. of a mile; and of a service road beginning at Route 495 and extending east parallel to the centerline of the National Freeway, a distance of 1.02 miles. Another major part of the con- tract will be the construction of a dual three span continuous rying the Freeway over the Casselman River.
