    This compensation is in no way tied to the Workmen's Compensation statute. An attempt to so tie it ignores the fact that a scheme existed for compensation for injured prisoners under that statute and that the General Assembly in its wisdom saw fit to eliminate that scheme and to substitute the Sundry Claims Board in its stead. It has specified the criteria to be followed by the Board. We have no contention in this case that the statute is unconstitutional because of the absence of sufficient guides and standards to govern the administrative body. See, e.g., Schneider v. Pullen, 198 Md. 64, 81 A.2d 226 (1951), and Maryland Theatrical Corp. v. Brennan, 180 Md. 377, 24 A.2d 911 (1942). Thus, our opinion here is not to be interpreted as approving or disapproving this statute as to constitutionality.
