โฆ Synopsis
Towards the study of finite projective plane of prime order, the following result is proved in this paper. Let 7r be a projective plane of prime order p and let G be a collineation group of n. If P[I G I, then either n is Desarguesian or the maximal normal subgroup of G is not trivial. In particular, 7z is Desarguesian if G does not leave invariant any point or line. * Partially supported by NSERC A8460. ** Partially supported by CNPq.

## Abstract In this article, we prove that there does not exist a symmetric transversal design ${\rm STD}\_2[12;6]$ which admits an automorphism group of order 4 acting semiregularly on the point set and the block set. We use an orbit theorem for symmetric transversal designs to prove our result. A
