D. {. RACE BILL
SEEN BEATEN;
FOESGR0W

While full consideration Of the
Norton race track bill, should 1t
get to the Senate, was promised
today by Senator William H.
King CD, Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, out
spoken opposition to the meas
ure leaves little doubt that it is
doomed.
Members of the committee who
have announced their antago-
nism to the proposal to bring
horse racing to the Nations Capt.
tai include Senator King, Sena
tor Arthur Capper (R0, Kansas;
Senator Thomas P. Gore 3D.
Oklahoma, and Senator Robert
D. Carey (R0, Wyoming. AL
though Senator Willard Tydings
CD. Maryland, is out Of the
city, it is understood that he op
poses the measure. Senator Royal
s. Copeland CD, New York. Is
noncommittal.
How They Reason
Several members Of the com
mittee base their opposition on
the charge that horse racing will
have a bad effect on the city.
Senator King said:
T want 1t thoroughly under
stood that, although 1 am OPP
uosed to this measure and sew
eral members Of the District
Committee have come to me ana
said they oppose 1t, 1t will be
given full consideration should
It be brought to the attention OF
the committee.
81 believe in giving each bill
its due but l have announced
nv opposition to q similar
measure two years ago and
have not changed my position.
Horse racing will take money
out of the city. 1t will be bad
morally for the Government
clerks here and it will bring In
the hangers-On that will not be
desirable"
SENATOR GORE OPPOSES
Recently Senator Gore said.
II don't see any need for horse
racing here. Any true lover of the
races can go right across the
line into Maryland.
81 don't like the thought Of
salaried persons using their
money in gambling. / saw some
of that in Florida"
Senator Capper agrees with
these members, and said:
81 am opposed to such a
measure. I worked to block it in
the Senate two years ago and I
will continue to oppose it.
"It's a bad thing to have
horse racing here and gambling,
with all these Government clerks
concentrated in the city"

CCC Camps Attractive
We have been interested for many
months in the CCC camps. After a
visit to Swallow Falls it was not
difficult to see what had been accom-
plished there; also Potomac Camp.
But our curiosity was aroused regard
ing Camp S-65, or Backbone Noun
tain Camp. Many years ago we were
there and somehow we couldn't fig
ure it as of much Importance. How
ever, we were forced to change our
mind, and here's the reason.
Backbone Mountain is in the south
eastern portion of this county and is a
section of the Potomac State Forest.
We have been told that it is a tract
six miles long approximately, and
this is divided by the mountain ridge.
We quote from the Conservation
Chronicle the following description:
"On the north side of this mountain
it reaches down mile of steep slopes
to Grab Tree Creek. On the south side
by more gradual slopes, it reaches for
about the same distance to include the
headwaters of important streams
emptying into the North Branch of
the Potomac River. Thus it forms a
watershed protective area for a re-
gion of from 25 to 80 square miles
lying between Grab Tree Creek on
the north and the Potomac River on
the south"
So much for that. Now we discov-
cred further that this section has
very little mature timber, consequent
ly there is scarcely any game. The
coal has largely been taken out and
there are many cleared spaces, all of
which was explained to us, makes
this a section badly in need of fire
protection, and this it has.
The tract is being encircled with an
unbroken chain of fire trails, and also
divided into control units with fire
breaks. The roads must be opened for
| fire crews. Up until July a total of
! 1178 man-days had been used.
! The person in charge of this work
is Project Superintendent W. I. lib
bets, with a splendid camp personnel.
Mr.. Tibbets is from Johns Hopkins
University and has had wide expert
ence in his work. Mr.. and Mrs. lib
bets were former Park summer resi-
dents.
Anyhow we found plenty of reason
for the existence of Camp S-65.

All Campers Told of Alarming
Decrease in Game Birds

Maryland farm youths camping on
Deep Creek Lake were told last Thurs
day by Richard T. Norris, chief deputy
game warden, that a continued de-
crease in the number of quail in the
State might necessitate a year-round
closed season.
Norris addressed members of All
clubs in Allegany, Garrett and Wash
ington counties, encamped at the Oak
land Boy Scout camp.
The decrease was said to be due to
mankind not furnishing protection,
nesting sites, food and cover during
winter period when food is the most
scarce.
He outlined the history of efforts
to raise quail in captivity and pointed
out the speed of game reproduction
was powerful aid in restocking game
areas. If rabbits could raise all the
young of two filters per year, there
wound be 1854 rabbits in five years,
from one pair, he said. Two quail, if
they could successfully raise all the
chicks from one setting of eggs per
year, could have 65,536 offspring in five
years.
