Walsh Emphasizes
Adequate Defense;
Strict Neutrality
Senator Addresses
St. Thomas Episcopal
Church Mems Club

Strict neutrality and adequate ma
tional defense are the principles that
must be maintained if the United
States is to remain at peace, Sena-
tor David I. Walsh of Massachu-
sets declared last night at a meet
ing of the st. Thomas Episcopal
Church Mems Club held in the home
OF Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
of naval operations.
america never will be involved in
another war except through inter-
meddling," Senator Walsh empha-
sized, stating, however, that he con-
sidered it proper for the Nation off,
cially to make known its views on
injustices, provided that it were
made plain that there would be no
bearing OF arms in support Of the
wronged.
Cites Key Role Of Navy.
The chairman of the Senate Ma
val Affairs Committee pointed out
that the United States geographic
position makes the Navy its first
line of defense and obliges its con-
scientious maintenance to back up
the country's position as a great
neutral power.
He paid high tribute to the off,
GERS and men of the Navy, stating
that his conviction of their vigorous
loyalty and constant desire for self
betterment was based upon personal
observation.
Expressing regret that the retire
ment law forces men of the caliber
Of Admiral Leahy to pass completely
from the service while their wealth
of experience still would be of in
estimable value, Senator Walsh
voiced the hope that he would be
able to obtain approval Of legisla-
tion calling for placement of re-
tired officers on the Navy General
Board and providing remuneration
for them.

Recreationa| BOATING
On New Hampshire
Lakes Growing

CONCORD, N. H., Aug. 5.-Recre-
ational boating still is growing on
New Hampshire's inland lakes, Nell
son Lee Smith, chairman of the
Public Service Commission, revealed
In announcing that current registra-
tlons are running we'll ahead of last
year when record number of 5,626
craft were in use in the State.
Keeping abreast of the increased
boating activity, the Public Service
Commission has buoyed four ad-
0tional lakes this year, bringing the
Total to 81 where navigational aides
have been established.
An aerial survey of Lakes VIM
nipesaukee, Squam and Wentworth
also is underway to check the loca-
tions of lights and buoys and to
search for any unchartered rocks or
lodges.
Another chart, this one of Lake
Winnisquam, has been issued.
More inboard boats are being reg
istered and there is trend to larger
craft.

this month and all of September
and October, and even later in the
year, until it becomes too cold, is
the time for bronzeback fishing. The
bass do not bite well in midsummer
anyway, and they have been held
back further this year by almost
continually muddy waters.
So there is plenty of time
for you to practice casting and
prepare to snare some s.
FOUNDERS.
The Capital Casting Club holds
sessions every Saturday afternoon
and Sunday morning at the Lincoln
Memorial Pool, and all local anglers
are invited to attend. For those who
already know how to cast it is a
means of gaining even more ease
and flow of motion, and for those
who know nothing about it, here is
good opportunity to learn about
one of the most exciting types of
fishing.
Chesapeake Bay Fishing Fair.
1t is time to begin thinking about
and making serious preparations for
the Chesapeake Bay Fishing Fair,
which will be held this year at An
napolis on August 26 and 81. This
is the fourth annual event, and it
promises to be even bigger success
than any of the others.
About 1000 or more anglers
from all over Maryland. Vir-
ginia, the District and even
Pennsylvania and Ohio an
nually attend the contest.
They come in boats and by auto,
and last year several even came by
plane. The idea is to fish and have
fun for two solid days and Incl
dentally try for some of the valuable
prizes. There are prizes for every
thing. There are awards for the

The miniature brigantine race at

To Obtain Data on
Their Habits
Tosk Is Made Difficult
As They Usually Live
In Remote Places
BY the Associated Press
rDE EAYJ &c ~

Ds 'be
GREAT FALLS, Mont.-The pri-
vate life of an elk would be a lot
easier to prv into if elk lived in
bowls like gold fish. Their home
usually is some remote place
hemmed in by canyons, cliffs and
forests
No exception are the elk in the
Lewis and Clark National Forest in
Montana, where game experts of the
United States Forest Service want
to know more about their travelling.
their love-making and eating habits
and the state of their health.
Must Locate Baby Elk.
So when snow started to melt this
summer in Sun River territory. 80
miles west of Great Falls, Mont,
Chief Ranger A. j. Cramer had
job of work on his hands. He was
assigned to locate a number of baby
elk: carefully place metal tag on
an ear and turn them loose without
harm
The numbers on the tags were
recorded. AS the elk grow to ma
turity their meanderings will be
disclosed to game experts, for the
animals are bound to show up oc-
casionally in the feed lines the
Government maintains in various
parts Of the West in winter, and
when they do their ear marker will
identify them. Each time the
marker comes under scrutiny the
time and place will be recorded and
the Government thus will have a
pretty good diary of an elk'S life.
Likely to Travel Far.
The elk may even wander many
miles to the south, over toward the
Yellowstone National Park herd,
largest on the North American
continent. and join that elk lodge.
In the end when death comes the
Government will know how long he
lived and how he died-whether by
hunters bullet, disease or old age.

largest fish in every bay species
and a grand award for the largest
fish of all. There are prizes for the
youngest angler and for the oldest.
for the one travelling the longest
distance. for the best fish caller and
for the boat getting the largest va
riety.
Naturally, when such big affair
is in the offing, there usually is
shortage of boats. So it is advisable
to make boat reservations in ad-
vance. A guide book listing the
available boats and guides may be
had free of charge by writing the
association headquarters at Preston,
Md, or a phone call to this ONCE
will supply you with a few sugges-
tions.
Previous contests have been held
at Tilghmans Island, Solomons and
