SalaryDispute This Friday Night During September On next Friday evening at 8 P- | Judge F. Cortez Bell of Clear- | field Co. has agreed to hear the | second suit in the salary dispute |of Cambria Co. Court employes. | The common pleas judge will rule {on the question whether the coun- [ty judges or the county salary board has power to fix salaries of court employes and to deter- mine their number. | This some question was dis- cussed several weeks ago when Judge J. Colvin Wright of Bed- ford Co. heard a similar civil suit in Ebensburg. Judge Wright has not handed down his decision as yet. In the second suit, three court stenographers challenge the con- stitutionality of the 1947 Act of Legislature involved. The act tak- es jurisdiction over court per- sonnel away from the court and gives it to the salary board. The second complaint asserts the “in- herent” powers of the court can- not be removed by legislation. Episcopal Program m., Miss Jane Cowl, one of tne | great ladies of the American stage | will be heard over station KQV, Pittsburgh, and WJSW, Altoona, as the star in- Emlyn Williams’ famous Broadway hit, “The Corn Is Green.” This is the second ra- dio presentation of Great Scenes From Great Plays, sponsored by the Episcopal families of Patton. Miss Cowl, an active member of the Episcopal Actors’ Guild, will be introduced by another fa- mous star, Walter Hampden, who acts as host on the Episco- pal radio series heard every Fri- day night at the same hour. Miss Cowl has retained the loy- al affection of her great public $hrough the years. “Lilac Time,” which she wrote for herself as star, ran for two years on Broadway, and was followed by “Smiling Through” which had 1170 performances and was film- ed four times in Hollywood.
