Soon after Lees plea, Edwin S
Hege, president of the Citizens Asso-
citation of Chevy Chase, opposed a
1899 budget in excess of the current
appropriation of about s46 5000, 900
unless the United States increases its
payment and earmarked funds pro-
vided by new motor vehicle taxes are
spent.
Hege declared municipal taxpay-
ers look to the Commissioners and the
Budget Bureau to preclude for the fis-
cal year 1899 a municipal spending
spree that would necessitate a further
increase in local taxes or new forms
Of taxation"
The only things Hege asked of the
Commissioners was an appropriation
of about $4,000 for additional per-

and completion of the Woodrow Will

STATE COMPACTS
/. ON FISHING URGED
Dr.. Higgins Offers Plan as
Means of Conserving
Marine Life.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 10.-Crea-
ton of interstate fisheries commissions
for each type of fish as means of
halting depletion of marine resources
was proposed today by DR.. Elmer Hig-
gins, director of the Division of Fish
Culture of the Commerce Department
DR.. Higgins made his proposal be-
fore conservation officials of nine
States who met here to discuss inter-
state cooperation in conservation of
fisheries.
DR.. Higgins said shad fisheries were
most in need OF regulation by States
ranging from Connecticut to Florida
with lobster fisheries from New Jersey
to Maine probably second
He explained that because of the
migratory habits of many fish taken
as food the problem cannot be ade-
quately handled by individual States
and suggested interstate compacts
subject to congressional approval as
a solution.
AS an example of the need for reg
ulation. DR.. Higgins said, "Tremen-
dous quantities of weakf1sh or sea
trout are wasted by fishermen who
take fish, particularly in Southern
waters, which are too small for mar
keting"
He said lobster fishing would not
pay at all within few years, which
would mean a discontinuance of that
kind of fishing until the supply was
revived and then another depletion
of lobster resources.
DR.. Higgins suggested that in any
interstate compacts each State should
grant complete regula tory power
throughout the range of each par
ticular fishery.

BURGOS, Spain, September To-
Young Mrs. Harold E. Dahl, whose
personal plea to Insurgent Generals
simo Francisco Franco won a promise
of freedom for her imprisoned aviator
husband, asked the International Red
Cross today to see it fulfilled.
81 knew my letter would help" the
bride of eight months exclaimed at
Cannes, France, when she heard the
news. 1T was desperate effort
The young American wife's written
plea of please don't destroy my hap
piness" won promise of lie and
freedom for her husband.
Franco read her letter, studied the
picture of herself which she inclosed
and decided to exchange 28-year-old
Harold Dahl. Champaign, H.. war
pilot, for any insurgent aviator held
captive by the Spanish government.
Mrs. Dahl wrote from her tempo
rary residence in Cannes. asking life
and freedom for her husband, whose
Spanish government war plane was
shot down behind insurgent lines
July IL.
In quaint, studied Spanish she ad-
dressed the generalissimo as chief of
fascism," a term Franco dislikes.
Attracted by Picture.
What offset the mistake was Mrs
Dahl's picture-a photograph of a tall
beautiful, young American girl with
blond hair and sparkling eyes.
Il am the wife of the American
pilot Harold Dahl, who has been held
in military prison at Salamanca since
July 49," she wrote.
Il. received a letter from him two
weeks ago. Since then 1 have heard
nothing.
II am writing you to explain that
he was and is neutral. He joined

pilots in the United States air force.

Plea for Happiness.

Il have had no dealings with tn,

tions you give me will be carried ou
faithfully"
Franco wasted no time with tn,
problem, once he got the letter ava,
from general staff officers, who wer,
reluctant to give up the photograph.
The generalissimo wrote assurance
that he had neither need nor desir
for the life OF the young aviator, who
he said, was in excellent health.
He told MRS. Dahl to ask the Span
