SIXTEEN EVENING TIMES, CUMBERLAND. MD-, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1955 Dial PA-2-4600 for a WANT AD Taker Jobless Pay Compensation Holds Steady Furlough Piclure Bright Despite Seasonal Layoffs BALTIMORE UP) New claims for unemployment compensation held almost steady in Maryland last week after rising the previous week to a level about a third greater than the average for the final half of 1955. The State Department of Employment Security reported 3,129 new claims, compared with 3,085 the previous week, 4,967 in the corresponding week of 1954 and 4,106 in the first full week of December in 1954. The layoff picture brightened in most sections of the state. Contract Terminated Only 140 new claims were filed at Hagerstown last week, compared with 361 the week before.

Fairchild Aircraft Division at Hagerstown has been steadily reducing its force for. several weeks from a peak of almost 10,000 because it reached the end of an Air Force contract for Flying Boxcars. Benefit checks were issued to 603 persons at Hagerstown last week. On the side of the picture was the situation at Cambridge, where there were 317 new claims for benefits last week, compared with 197 the week before. Unemployment always hits Cam bridge at, this season of the year when the canning industry is at low ebb and the seafood business fluctuates with the.

weather. Of the 317 who applied for benefits last week, 211 previously had received unemployment compensation at least once since last April 1. Sharp Rise Noted Applications at Westminster also showed a big jump percentagewise, but the situation here also involved off again-on again operations. Of the i47 claims, 142 were from workers who had been laid off and drew benefits previously this year. One large industry in the area has a policy of working at least part of its force o'nly every other week.

The department paid out $191,814 in benefits to 8,433 claimants last week. The figures were just barely higher than the previous week and compared with the $506,962 paid out to 20,761 unemployed persons in the corresponding week of 1954.

The revenue experts attributed the sharp increase over their original estimates, "to a substantial upward trend in the movement of the national economy." This, they noted, "is in contrast with the stability that characterized the year 1954" on which the 1955 budget estimates were based. Booming auto sales, which boosted the entire economy, was credited for much of the increase. How long this higher revenue trend may continue is unpredictable, they said, but they're basing revised estimates on belief it will conlinue in 1956. Also, Comptroller Tawes noted the upward estimate is also bascc on only one quarter of receipts from the Stale's pay-as-you-go in come tax. "With this withholding, we don't know wnal we're going to run into," he said.

New Authorit For Maryland Ports Okehed Hagerstoivn Man To Be Moderator Legislative Group Tentatively Approves Financing Proposal BALTIMORE (tf A Legislative Council subcommittee approved today the creation of a Statewide authority to improve and promote ports on all Maryland tidewaters. The committee took the action in a major bverhaul of a proposal to set up a five-man authority to boost business in the Port of Baltimore. The port subcommittee, headed by Sen. Bertorelli, (D-Balto 1st) tentatively approved today a plan to finance operation of the authority through 3 one-quarter cent increase in'the gasoline tax.

This would be in addition to a $15 million bond issue floated on State credit. The gasoline levy increase, expected to yield ah estimated $1.7 million a year, was agreed upon after vigorous opposition was raised against a special commission's" original financing plan. The. commission had suggested supporting the authority's ppera- by recalling the package Donds on the State's three big Bridges and the Baltimore harbor Lunnel in 1962 and refinancing them .0 include port costs. Noting that many county legisla- objected to this, Bertorelli said the proposal "goes no where." "These kind of people pass leg- slation or kill legislation," said Bertorelli, "and if they object to increasing the bridge tolls we can't do it." The'subcommittee also approved the Anne Arundel County plan restricting land acquisition power the proposed authority.

This would require the authority to clear with county officials before exercising properly condemnation or purchase iowers in Anne Arundel or Baltimore counties. It also would not exempt property owned by public utilities from condemnation, as pro posed by the port commission. Two Men Trapped As Pit Caves lu FORT SMITH, Ark. W) The sides of a deep pit in which two men are buried beneath tons of dirt and debris crumbled again early today, thwarting efforts of rescue workers to find the victims.

State Council Group Rebuffs Airport Head Lawmakers Approve Proposal Expanding Commission's Work BALTIMORE Wi-Walter F.

Per kins, chairman of the Baltimore Airport Board, last night reopenec his attack on the State Aviation Commission, predicting it will "ei ther sink into obscurity or become a vehicle for personal aggrandize ment by publicity-seeking mem' bers." But no sooner had Perkins' letter been read to the Legislative Council's Budget and Finance Committee, than the lawmakers approvec a proposal which would'expand the commission's activities in the fields criticized by Perkins. The feud between the Baltimore airport board chairman and the State Aviation Commission broke out a year ago when Perkins balked at a proposal for holding the 1955 National Aircraft Show at Friendship International Airport. "Arrogant, Dictatorial" The Baltimore Aviation Board operates Friendship. The State, aviation board called for his resignation, describing Perkins as "arrogant and dictatorial." Perkins referred to that incident iniis letter to State Sen. Bertorr'el- li (D-Balto calling the attack "unwarranted' and undignified ill-advised and ridiculous." Perkins also said there is little to "justify" the continuation of the commission "on its past record." But at another point, he said the aviation commission may be "justified" if it confines its work to "promotional activities with assistance and advice to local communities who request such assistance." Federal Functions He said existing law giving the commission powers to register silots and aircraft and to regulate flight of aircraft are-functions which are handled by the federal government.

And Perkins said the State's participation in such activities is "a waste of taxpayers' money and a nuisance to all concerned. After hearing Perkins' letter, the sudget and finance committee approved a measure which would ex- Bids Sought On Route 36 Bridge Work BALTIMORE Oft The State Roads Commission today adver tised for bids on construction of a 61-foot bridge and a concrete re taining wall on relocated Maryland 36 over Braddock Run.at the June tion of the State route and U.S. 40 about a mile west of Cumberland.

The legislators proposed a registration fee of cents per pound yearly on all aircraft, in lieu of personal property taxes now imposed on airplanes.

To License They also proposed' issuance of yearly licenses to pilots for $33 Charles B. Allen, new, head of the' aviation commission, estimated two proposals would raise about $2,000 a year, enough to support ihe agency. Perkins noted in his letter that le has no objections to Allen or other hew member of the commission, George H. Langenfelder. But he wrote that the, other three members, Charles Adler Varies W.

Purcell and Charles A. Vlassen, had joined in the demand for his resignation. "It would seem to -me." Perkins added, "that there is little hope for any intelligent contructive action jy the commission as long as these are in the majority. The two new members are men of proven itfelligence and dignity," Del. A.

Gordon Boone (D-Baltimore) later quipped to Allen: "It ooks like you haven't attacked Mr. 'erkins yet." The largest station on British ailways, Clapham Junction, covers acres. Council Unit RejectsESB ShakeupPlans Delay Requested Until Commission Study Completed BALTIMORE and Finance Committee of the. Legislative. Council last: night', turned thumbs down on two proposals ing for top-level reorganization the Department of Employment Security.

The committee tabled measures- to replace the present three-man. Employment Security Board with a single administrator and to set. up a three-man board act on: appeals "in unemployment cases. As it stands now, the ESB handles both administrative and peals work. Jose'ph Sherbow, former judge, appointed by the attorney general to investigae the employment agency, -'recommended the shakeup earlier this year.

So did Department of Labor. Last night's action, however, postponed any top-level reorganiza- until at least 1957. Sen.
