Jim Hurlbut knows bass like
beetles Of the japanese variety for
lust this week he fished Potomac
feeder stream above Washington,
the shores of which were infested
with this pest of the Orient, and
without luck until he tried bug ap-
proximating the bronze green of the
beetles. The first try was produc-
tive of a 3-pounder. whose stomach
contents proved bass like these i'm
ported bugs equally as we'll as they
did the locusts during the great
hatch of a few years back. Now
Jim is hunting bug made to repre-
sent the beetle and with so many
from which to choose he probably
will find it.
Fishing Always Good at Dam.
The dam at Great Falls always
has been real bass water. Because
it isn't the safest place in which
to fish the practice has been
frowned upon. There is a fence
around the Maryland side now
which makes it impossible for
anglers to get to it. Red found
that with a little maneuvering
around the island above the found
three nice bass in doing it, 1t was
possible to reach the dam. Also that
it was easier of access from the
Virginia shore.
This is tough fishing with normal
water levels. impossible when they
of light flow. 1t requires sure foot,
care and no excess duffle. 1t isn't to
be recommended at any time, even
though there probably is better bass
fishing there than at any other one
place on the Potomac.
Bass, both large and small mouth,
have been stocked here for many
years. Just two years ago the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Chapter of
Ikes planted many hundred large
mouth (tagged, some of them
weighing as much as pounds at the
time of planting. Maryland State
authorities have stocked the Poto-
mac almost continuously with small
mouth fry. Add to these paintings
perfect conditions for reproduction
and you have fair picture of the
Potomac as a bass stream.
The fact that many of these
paintings were made at or close to
the dam does not mean the fish
stayed there. 1t is doubtful that
they did, for the bass is migratory
when conditions get too crowded.
A good example is Little Bennett
Creek, which because it always is
clear usually is fished out during
the first few weeks Of the season.
However, 1t always Is naturally re-
stocked BY the beginning Of another.

Mr.. Biggers was impressed par
ticularly with the tank demonstra-
tion and the obstacle course for
soldiers. That ought to give the
toughness and agility that soldiers
need" he said.

persuade his associates to attempt
the obstacle course-consisting of
a quarter mile of trenches, elevated

An organization meeting of the

Daredevil Driver Manages
To Keep His Fortress
Upright at BeIvoir
BY JAMES FREE,
Star Staff Correspondent.

FORT BELVOIR, Va, Aug. O.
Few professional daredevils have
ever had so distinguished an audi
ence. High-ranking defense Off
cials and Army officers lined the
road on one side. On the other
soldler-engineers sat three deep.
They looked first at the series
Of log obstacles jutting menacingly
above the road surface. Then their
eyes turned down the dusty roadway
to a 13-ton tank about 200 yards
away, its motor idling confidently.
The tank was a formidable ma
chine, to be sure. But crafty anti
tank experts had devised those OBJ
stacles. For starter there was
2-foot hurdle, with logs driven
into the ground like stakes and
braced with horizontal logs lashed
with steel wire Then there were
higher barriers, placed unevenly to
each side to overbalance tank that
had leaped safely over the initial
blockade. And finally, just in case
the others weren't enough. three
giant logs were slanted upward in
the form of a giant take-off plat
form-except that the center log
was higher than those on the out
side. This, of course, was planned
to spill the steel juggernaught.
Everybody Waits.
Two press photographers eaSed
opposite the barriers to get close
up shots as the tank hit the tough
est part of its test run. Get back
there" an officer shouted, you
might get killed if the tank is flung
in that direction" The photogra-
pliers moved without further urg-
ing.
William S. Knudsen, director gen.
eral, and John D. Biggers, produc-
ton chief. of the Office of Produc-
tion Management, watched anx-
iously. One of their big jobs was
turning out more and better tanks,
and performance in a trial of this
kind was important. The soldier
engineers, across the way, were
proud of their log obstacles. All
naturally wanted the tank driver
to come through unscathed, regard
less of the outcome of the test.
At the tank controls sat Sergt.
Ben w. Griffin of Forestville, Nd,
his helmeted head tilted forward
toward the narrow Sits in his mobile

fortress. Known for his coolness
and daring, he was the first man
suggested for this experimental
demonstration. He raced the engine
impatiently.
Given the let 'er 60 signal Sergt.
Griffin spurred his charge ahead,
eased on the gas momentarily, to
get the feel of the acceleration, and
to set the roller treads of his 26,000-
pound vehicle precisely on the course
he had picked out, then let it roar
ahead again. 1t appeared to be
going fully 40 miles an hour when 1t
hit the first obstacle.
Those initial logs broke even with
the ground and gave way, but their
toughneSS bounced the tank 3
or feet in the air. On the way
down the tank veered to the left
and then it crashed atop the next
and higher barrier placed slightly
to the right. Thus, 1t was flung out
of control. But its sheer power,
the second obstacle, too, was broken.
BY this time, some instinct of me-
chanical balance caused it to twist
sufficiently to the left to run only
along the edge of the invented v
trap runway designed to overturn
the metal monster. At last-and
those seconds seemed like minutes
the tank burst into the clear, and
Sergt. Griffin brought it under con-
troll and stopped it.
Mr.. Knudsen and the other o. P.
M. heads inspecting the Army engi-
neers post moved forward. AS Sergt.
Griffin climbed out, grimy and
sweat dripping from his nose and
chin, he found Mr.. Knudsen's hand
outstretched.
THAT was fine driving, sergeant"
said the o. P. M. chief.
THANK you, sir. We had a good
break, barging through all right
after getting out of control"
Not Even a Safety Belt.
The sergeant remarked later that
the ride would have been smoother
had his seat been equipped with a
safety belt. Most of them have it."
he said, "but this one hasn't for
some reason" The tank has no
Speedometer, but the sergeant in
sisted he was travelling only about
30 miles an hour.
The o. P. M. party, which in
cluded Donald M. Nelson, director of
purchases; Edward r. Stettinius,
jr., director of priorities, and E. F..
Johnson, chief of the ordnance di-
vision, was told that the tank was
part of the armored equipment
loaned to the engineers for testing
their bridges, obstacles, etc, and to
familiarize the soldiers with the
noise and other characteristics of
these modern weapons of war.
Purpose of the visit was to en-
able the defense chiefs to see first
hand how some of the material
they have manufactured and pur-
chased for the armed forces is used.
Nothing else impressed them as
deeply as the tank test. But they
saw about all there was to see in
the way of mechanical and engi-

Mrs. Mary Brundage, w. p. A. well

least 40 volunteers to aid in the

health tests before being put to
work.
The Surplus Commodities Corp
has indicated its willingness to turn
over to the group a carload of
peaches at the end of this week ii
sufficient jars have been collected
by that time.
In order to prevent breakage, the
