McDonald's Howard passes smoking' bill 8 THE SUN, Tuesday, June 7, 1977 5 municipal unions file suit for raises approved by City Council hospital sleeping rooms, bars, restaurants witii seating capacity for less than 7S patrons, barber shops and beauty salons. In other action, the council tabled a bill requiring the licensing by the county of door-to-door solicitors. Virginia M. Thomas, the council chairman, said the legislators needed more time to review the measure. Group Against Smokers' Pollution GASP), termed the passage "a major victory.

It is the most comprehensive non-smoking health protection legislation in the state." Mr. Lis said he believes that non-smokers "would be motivated to enforce the bill when they are forced to breathe tobacco smoke." Exempted from the bill's coverage are By MICHAEL J. CLARK Columbia Bureau of Sun The Howard County Council last night passed a bill prohibiting smoking in designated public "non-smoking" areas and' subjecting violators to a fine up $50. A similar bill, but without the enforce-; ment provisions, was passed by the council April 4. However, Edward L.

Cochran, the county executive, vetoed that legisla-' tion, and the council was unable to muster four votes to override the veto. The executive said he favored a bill I permitting the county's Board of Health to take administrative action in those cases where smoking adversely affected public health. i The new bill was approved by a 4-to-l vote, with Councilman Thomas M. Yeager, a Democrat from Fulton, voting against the measure. He has contended that the bill placing prohibitions on smoking is not necessary and is unenforceable.

J. Lis, a representative of the 3 education appointments recommended in Harfordi Bel Air Bureau of Tht Sun Bel Alr-Harford county's Democratic Five unions of municipal employees sued the city government yesterday, asking that the Board of Estimates be ordered to continue to provide pay increases for workers based on the length of their experience in their jobs. The board suspended all such raises this year. It said the city could not afford the estimated $6.4 million the increases would cost. The unions say provisions in their contracts with the city call for these pay boosts and they cannot be withheld.

1 Judge Martin F. Greenfeld met with t'i lawyers for the city and the unions yesterday afternoon and set June 15 for a hear-w Ing. "It's got to be decided before the City Council takes final action on the budget," Judge Greenfeld said last night. "It's got lo be done fast." In refusing to provide money for the in-cremental raises, Mayor Schaefer drew a 'distinction between the negotiated con-' tracts with the workers-which provide for across-the-board raises of 3 to 4 per cent next year-and the longevity raises, which are calculated in steps. For example, a firemen who has been with the city for two years could normally expect to be receiving a higher salary next year as a third-year fireman in addition to his normal 3 per cent raise.

The board's decision would leave him at second-year pay but add the 3 per cent to that figure, ji'si "We think the suit is called for because we have legally negotiated benefits that S- they are taking away," Ernest B. Crofoot, 'V-chief negotiator for Local 44 of the can Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said yesterday. Local 44, the largest union of municipal employees, was joined in the suit by Baltimore Firefighter Local 734, Balti more Fire Officers Local 964, the Maryland Nurses Association and Local 340, United Teachers of Baltimore City, which represents teachers' aides. Jeffrey Austin, the city labor commissioner, said Mayor Schaefer based his decision to deny the stepped increases on the provision in the city's administrative manual that says: "The granting of this advance (the stepped increases is subject to the city's fiscal condition." "The decision was a decision of pure economics," Mr. Austin said.

If the city lost the suit, he added, the Board of Estimates would not raise the property tax rate further. The administration would simply lay off more workers, he said. "The unions have got to understand that if they win, that's what it means-more layoffs," Mr. Austin said. Scanner urged for 5 hospitals SCANNER, from CI gists in Towson who have been operating a scanner in a private office.

They have made no decision yet on hospitals. The health agency has requested that Blue Cross, Blue Shield, commercial health insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid and other health insurance plans pay only those hospitals certified by the state to use the scanners. The recommendation was made "as an incentive" to prevent "the proliferation and use of free standing, private, office-based scanners," a health agency report stated. COUNCIL, from CI Plaza, which is part of the Mondawmin Mall complex, is William L. (Little Willie) Adams, a major West Baltimore political power broker.

Normally on such purely local matters the Council follows the wishes of a majority of the councilmen from the District. But in this case two of the three Fourth District councilmen opposed the McDonald's proposal. The third Council member from the district, Victorine Q. Adams, could take no active role in the matter because she is married to Willie Adams. Therefore, it fell to a councilman from another district, Clarence H.

(Du) Burns 2d), to resurrect the bill from committee and push it through the Council. Mr. Burns is a political ally of Mr. Adams, and his intervention further aggravated the dissension between the city's black political factions. At one point during yesterday's debate, Dr.

Julian complained: "The hand that stuck the dagger was not a white hand but a black hand. We talk about the need to stick together. Well, this is a fine example of solidarity." Senator Verda F. Welcome 40th Baltimore), a political rival of Mr. Adams who spearheaded the community opposition, said after the vote that she would now try to persuade Mayor Schaefer to veto the measure.

"The Mayor will veto it," she said. "And if he doesn't we'll take it to court. We're not going to have it there. That's all." The Mayor is now faced with the troublesome decision. Councilman Burns and Mr.

Adams are both political allies of the Mayor, but he may find it difficult to ignore the vocal opposition of the Mondawmin residents. committee. "I The school board seats are now held by George R. Litchfield of Edgewood and Thomas Snodgrass of Street. The two men, whose terms expire June 30, have said they did not want to be reappointed to the board.

The recommendations were made at a meeting of five committee members and Mr. Mr. Tillery's name was one of five offered late last week by Delegate William H. Amoss 5A), who expressed concern that at least one of the two vacancies be filled from the northern part of the county where Mr. Snodgrass resides.

If appointed by the Governor, Mr. Til-lery will be the second black person to sit on the county school board. Charles Nealy, whose term expires next year, was the first black person appointed to the board. Mr. Tillery's selection came after sev-'eral committee members suggested the board appoint a black person this year, rather than wait until next year when Mr.

Nealy's term expires. A. Freeborn Brown, a committee member, reasoned that a black appointment this year would open the Aberdeen post next year to a white person and thus avoid perpetuating that seat as a black seat In recommending Mr. Boutin, some committee members questioned the wisdom of naming a lawyer to a board whose membership already includes a lawyer and a former judge. State Central Committee voted last night to recommend that Maryland's acting governor appoint a lawyer and a black store manager to two vacancies on the county board of education.

The committee also voted to recommend that Janet G. Philippe, 39, of Aberdeen, be reappointed to a five-year term on the board of trustees of Harford Community College. Mrs. Philippe is currently president of the seven-member board of trustees. In the case of the county school board, the committee voted 3 to 2 to send acting Gov.

Blair Lee 3d the name of John Til-lery, 41, of Street, the manager of. the Timonium store of Levitz Furniture Corporation. The other person recommended for the school board was Charles R. Boutin, 35, of Edgewood, a partner in the Aberdeen law firm of Boutin, Landbeck Kreamer. The three names were also endorsed by state Senator Arthur H.

Helton, Jr. 6th), who said the committee's selection had his "full support." Both Mr. Boutin and Mrs. Philippe had previously won the endorsement by the county permanent nominating caucus, a loosely organized association of civic, fraternal and school organizations. In making appointments to local school boards, Maryland's governors have given great weight to names submitted by the local state senator and by the central Cambridge man drowns in creek Cambridge, Md.

(Special)-A 39-year-. old man drowned yesterday afternoon in Cambridge Creek near the Cambridge Creek Bridge, authorities reported. The body of Joe L. Sampson, 39, was found about 4.15 P.M. after the creek was dragged by the state Natural Resources Police, authorities reported.

The Cambridge resident was pronounced dead at Dorchester General Hospital. Police said Mr. Sampson, who apparently had been swimming in the creek, was clothed but his shoes and socks had been removed. A witness saw him jump off a grain boat docked in the Cambridge harbor, Cambridge municipal police said. The witness became alarmed when Mr.

Sampson failed to surface. City Council actions i A Lr II i I i Schaefer, Burns, Irbv and Clark (the administration). To condemn and open certain alleys within the Oldtown Urban Renewal Project. Highways and Franchises. C.C.
