Garbage piles take on smell of money By TOM HORTON To "Joe Tyler," Baltimore's 'neglected garbage has the smell of money. He and an assistant, running a private collection service during the city's 10-day-old sanitation workers' strike, are clearing as much as $300 a day. The only drawback to the Job and the reason Joe will not let his real name be used) is the possibility of retaliation by angry strikers. But judging from a trash-; can survey yesterday in the back alleys of Baltimore, from Highlandtown to Home-wood, the profit motive is operating to help keep the garbage buildup to a minimum. Private entrepreneurs were toting trash to the city's landfill at Edison highway and Monument street yesterday in everything from horse carts and dump trucks to a gleaming Cadillac hearse from a local funeral home', according to sanita-, tion supervisors.

"Age was no barrier either. Wayne Trembly, 12, and his cousin, Charles McNeal, 9, both of the 400 block Ellwood avenue, said they figured to clear at least $30 for days of collecting garbage on their toy wagons at 50 cents a bag. "Almost every kid on our block is out hauling," young Trembly volunteered as he trundled another load down to the reeking, dusty landfill. The adult garbage collec tors' rates varied from 25 cents a bag up to whatever they thought the traffic would bear. Somewhat predictably, the better the neighborhood, the more available private service seemed to be.

One woman in the 4400 block Greenway said she had three different offers to haul her trash since Monday. The inner areas were for the most part ignored by private trash collectors. In many eases, residents said they simply couldn't afford tr pay to have their trash taken away. Also, one hauler at the Monument street landfill said the inner city areas ware too far away (from the landfills) and too congested with traffic to make them worth his while. Some inner city bh such as the 1000 block Mc-Kean street, banded together to rent a truck to haul their garbage.

And two of the trucks at the Monument street landfill said they were trash for inner city neighbors. Most businesses, such as restaurants and bars which are small enough to depend on city sanitation service rather than regular commercial haulers, said they too were paying from $4 to $10 a load to have their trash taken away. Most of those interviewed yesterday who said they paid to have their trash hauled expressed little bitterness toward the private collectors. may By THOMAS B. EDS ALL Washington Bureau of The Sun Washington The Urban Mass Transit Administrator warned yesterday that rapid rail may have to be scrapped in the proposed 1980's second phase of the Baltimore-area transit system in favor of express buses and rejuvenated commuter railroads.

The warning follows a recent withdrawal of what most state and city officials had considered a commitment by the federal government to finance 80 per cent of the $1.1 billion first phase: Two lines running out of downtown Baltimore to Owings Mills1 and Marley, near the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. After reiterating to a Senate subcommittee the inability of tne federal government to as sure 80 per cent funding of the system's first phase, Frank C. Herringer, the federal adminis trator, pointed to the consideration of "alternative" traa sportation systems as a means of saving money. The failure of the federal transit agency to abide by ear- lier commitments provoked an angry response from Senator Charles McC. Mathias who described the com mitments as statements eas ily made and not usually ho nored at the cashier's window at the bank." He was referring to a September 29, 1972 statement by John A.

ERLAXDSON George Beall, the U.S. attorney, yesterday gave Baltimore city and county prosecutors federally obtained information for use in thair investigations of alleged corruption in the state parole and prison systems.

Milton B. Allen, the. city state's attorney, said after the hour-long meeting that, "There are a great many persons involved. I did not think it was so extensive. I thought it was only a simp'-! matter involving only Senator Clarence Mitchell and Mr.

Robert M. Gordon." Mr. Allen. said he plans to turn the inch-thick file over a team of lawyers in his office to work with the federal and county prosecutors. Mr.

Beall, Paul R. Kramer, his deputy, and Joseph A. Kiel, head of the federal Organized Crime Strike Force, met for an hour with Mr. Allen and Charles A. Ruppersberger 3d, an assistant county prosecutor.

The Mitchell-Gordon matter arose during the recent police corruption trial in U.S. District Court when one of the men lied on the witness stand about their relations with Donald 3. Harrington, a convicted gambler. Senator Mitchell and Mr. Gordon were business associates.

1 Mr. Gordon testified that he and Senator Mitchell got $1,500 each to arrange phony jobs so Harrington could get from pri son to a work-release program so he could resume his gam bling activities. Senator Mitchell denieJ the allegations as a witness under oath. He admitted writing a letter to state prison authori ties in an effort to help Harrington, but said it was a routine action he had done "hundreds of times" for pri soners. Mr.

Beall said that although he turned over the file of wit ness statements, transcripts, check photocopies and other evidence accumulated in tho Strike Force investigation, the federal government retains the right to prosecute either Sena tor Mitchell or Mr. Gordon for perjury or making false state ments. Mr. Gordon testified under an immunity grant wnicn would be negated if he per jured Harrington was not required to testify the trial and Mr. Beall said he is still refusing to co-operate with prosecutors.

Harrington's' state parole was revoked when he pleaded guilty to the federal charges and he is now serving tne tour years remaining of his term. He also faces an additional 18-month federal sentence.

The three major Democratic contenders and the two Republican hopefuls all are spending most of their time putting the finishing touches on their campaign organizations! Except for a handful of ad lib speeches before political clubs and conventions, the candidates are sitting out this heat wave in their cool air-conditioned offices.

"I doubt that the campaign will really get moving until August," said George E. Snyder, the son of the Hagerstown state senator "I don't own a car. I just feel very fortunate there is someone around to keep it garbage from piling up," said Helen M. Herbert, of the 1200 block East 36th street, echoing the sentiments of many. A great many citizens continued to take their own trash to the landfill' by car, although not always with a smile on their face.

At the Monument street landfill yesterday, Al Weller, a sanitation supervisor, handed out free plastic bags and took considerable abuse.

"The first time they came See HAULER, C3, Col. 1 remain at the zoo overnight, i There were fears that the union action would keep food away from the animals, since the supplies are located outside the zoo grounds. But. an agreement yesterday between zoo and union officials allows the animals to be fed.

According to Dr. W. Ted Roth, assistant zoo director, 7 cubic yards of dung from the numerous wild species must be gathered each day in carts. This could weigh between 1 and 2 tons, and is being collected with the sanction of the striking union. But it must not leave the grounds.

"We can move it away from the animals, because of the health hazard," said Arthur R. Watson, the zoo director, who added that the zoo has enough remote areas and roadways to deposit concentrations of dung temporarily without danger. But Dr. Edward C. Melby, president of the Baltimore Zoological Society, yesterday issued a statement saying "that if sanitary conditions are allowed to deteriorate during the strike situation, the rat population will take on an increase.

Dr. Roth said that the dung might be burned, "just smouldering it over to keep away the flies." He said that the consistency of the sub stance would cause no serious fire hazards. The zoo will remain closed Baltimoreans continued to swelter in muggy, 98-degree heat yesterday as health officials maintained an air-pollution alert for a second day. There were scattered cases of heat prostration reported by metropolitan area hospitals as a heavy mass of stagnant air continued to hover over the city and most of the mid-Atlan tic states. The National Weather Service was predicting some relief last night and today as a rapidly moving cold front moved into Maryland and northern Virginia from the Great Lakes area.

Increasing winds preceding the front and a 50 per cent chance of thunder showers last night prompted health officials to think they may be able to lift the pollution alert by late this morning. The National Weather Service was predicting a cooling trend today and tomorrow, with highs in the mid- and upper-80's and clear skies. 1 decree cooler Yesterday's city high of 98 was 1 degree cooler than the high Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday's high recorded at the Baltimore-Washington International airport was 95 a record for the date. The previous record was 94 in Iflfifi.

There was less pollution yes terday because winds were "quite a bit stronger," said Felipe Lebron, meterologist for the Bureau of Air Quality Con trol in the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. He said he was somewhat puzzled, however, by rather "elevated" early morning pol lution readings in Baltimore. These readings had been .02 and .03 parts a million at 9 A.M.

The Baltimore Zoo yesterday was allowed to feed its ani mals, but the union representing striking city laborers refused to permit the removal of accumulating dung left by the zoo's nearly 1.000 animals.
