sportsmen Conservative in Fishing ,n~
Use of Light Lines Advocated ~,

There is a definite movement
among sports fishermen toward the
conservation of all our fishes. Be-
cause it is only natural that con-
tinuous action is the idea in back
Of any fishing trip, during past years
there have been catches brought in
to the docks that run into many
hundreds Anglers today aren't
proud of such catches. In fact, they
do not care to lay themselves open
to the criticism they are likely to
find instead of the acclaim of other
years for catching more than they
ever could use or give away.
One need not 60 back many years
to remember docks Uttered with
castoff catches. Only on rare occa-
sions are like conditions encountered
today. Though sports anglers aren't
taking so many fish. they are having
Just as much fun for they are using
lighter tackle. Rods that would

encountered more and more. Those
using them do not catch so many
fish, but there Is so much more Of
a sporting chance for the fish to get
off and such longer period of &C
ton that a small catch doesn't
matter.
We advocate the use of cotton
thread at every opportunity for it is
heavy enough for all upper Chesa-
peake Bay fishing excepting that on
the big blues that come-sometimes
in the fall. Some anglers say their
nine-thread is productive enough of
sport. Well, possibly it is. We're
not going to force an idea down any
ones throat, but We would like to
see every one try cotton thread until
he understands its use, then de-
termine the type of tackle be be-

Trout at Wachapreague.
Trout are continuing to run good
at Wachapreague with many of the
catches totaling so or more. 1t is
very likely the northeaster slowed
fishing Saturday and yesterday, but
with a change in the wind it should
be better than ever. This week

that is fishing hard to beat.

Ron Two Fastest Miles

In regard to speed the fastest
horse I ever saw, not even barring
Man O. War or Whirlaway, was
Johnstown. Just before his last two
races he had two workouts for a
mile around 1885.
According to timing experts the
two fastest miles ever run were by
Seabiscuit in the Santa Anita Han
dicap-when he was beaten by
tagehand-and by Phar Lap, the
Australian wonder, in the Coffroth
Handicap. Both broke world rec

Walks in Clouds

For slightly more than three
months now, she's been playing
romantic and dramatic scenes
opposite Cooper, continuing her
school studies and vocal lessons
and between times walking in
the clouds.
There's something sincerely
heart-warming about the I'M
spoiled youngsters happiness
and her wholesome reaction to
success. The nearest thing TO a
splurge she's INDUCED in was a
one-day shopping expedition. She
spent almost $40. but that buy
ing spree included dresses for
her mother and two sisters.
Joan's real name is Joan
Brodel. The studio changed IL
TO Leslie because OF the close
resemblance to Joan Blondell.
She lives with her father, mother
and two sisters. Mary and Betty.
in a rented house not far from
Warner Brothers studio. The
house. a very modest bungalow.
is another concession to Joan's
success. The Brodels formerly
lived in furnished apartment.
Along with the prize role in
Sergeant York" and a promise
of early stardom that has since
been fulfilled, the studio threw
in an automobile as Joan's six
tenth birthday present. At this
writing, Miss Leslie still hasn't
had time 10 learn TO drive the
car. but she has hopes she'll be
at the wheel by Summer.
The Detroit girl was tabled
as a winner from the time she
put her signature to a Warner
Brothers contract a year ago.
She simply had too much YOUTH
full verve, enthusiasm and bub-
bling vitality to be left at the
post, not TO mention the beauty
that caught the booster clubs
eye and brought the Sun Cod
dess' nod.
More or less as an experience

given the starring role in a
short subject called Alice In

capable of bigger opportunities.
so she was popped right into a
featured part in High Sierra"

Bogart. That was fast company
for a 15-year-old, but she held
her own in it.

There's still another Of Miss

Working opposite Cooper has
been a marvellous experience,
Miss Leslie says. She thinks he
is not only a great actor. but
one OF the very incest persons
she had ever met.
Until she played her first
scenes with him in Sergeant
York" he was only a glamour
Gus figure on a silver screen TO
her. They were introduced on
the set by Director II oward
Hawks a few moments before he
rehearsed them in their opening
scenes.
Miss Leslie had slipped onto
the stage day or two before,
when Cooper was working with
Ward Bond and Noah Berry Jr.,
just TO see him in the flesh and
watch him in action. She slipped
out just as quietly. with scarcely
member of the company
knowing she had been there.
After they played their first
scene, Cooper made some casual,
joking remark and started q
friendly conversation. Joan had
always heard he was a very
silent chap perhaps not aloof
but certainly taciturn. She was
happily surprised, put at ease
by his conversational overture.
Cooper q Friend
When she did her first close
up, Cooper stood just out Of
camera view and played out his
part OF the scene just az
though he actually had been in
the shot. The ordinary pro-
cedure is TO merely read lines.
That clinched il for Miss Leslie.
He was a friend who was help
ing her. She knew no more ner-
vous awe.
Director Hawks Is enthusiasts
tic about her work in Sergeant
York" confident she has a re-
markable future. Cooper shares
Hawks belief. He says she's
splendid actress right now. will
become a great star IL she IL
handled properly.
Warner Brothers having had
sufficient confidence in her TO
give her the leading woman
role in their biggest picture. can
he trusted 10 sec that she con-
tinues TO receive the proper
handling.
The present is glowing. and
the future is rosy for Miss Les
lie. Some OF these days John
Brodel. her father, is going TO
be glad he lost his job as teller
in the First National Bank in
Highland Park during the
height Of the depression-if he
isn't already Otherwise il might
have taken longer for Joan to
get to Hollywood and show
what a Detroit girl can do N
The movies.

Perkins Victory

No one expects the board 10 be
able to stop strikes Even in Eng
land a law against strikes failed 10
prevent several recently. What
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to get now IS
a general acceptance by labor OF
the principle that disputes should
be taken to the cancellation service
and the board for fair judgment
before the drastic strike weapon IS
used.
It remains to be seen what sue
cess this moral suasion viii have.
but il is only fair 10 say few Of
the well-informed have hopes as
high as Mr.. Roosevelt.
The new arrangement repre-
sents a rather complete victory OF
Miss Perkins over Sidney Hillman.
Up until an hour. before the
executive order was finally signed.
it contained a phrase connecting
the board with the OPM, of which
Hillman is demi-boss. This phrase
was stricken out, not only upon
the request of Miss Perkins but
uDon the advice of the other head
Of OPM, William Knhdsen, who
thought his organization had
plenty to do with production with
out getting mixed up in labor
settlements.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-23
ProtectiUe Move

Obviously Miss Perkins was try
ing TO protect her brood in her
labor department against super
imposed authority of the OPM.
But her prevailing argument was
that this should be free and in
dependent agency under the
President.
Hillman also wanted a big name
az the top. A good many advisers
around the President shared Hill
mans view that a dominant per-
sonality would aid the purely ex-
tra=leGal purposes etatAe- settiP.-
At one time, about a week be-
fore the announcement, Bernard
Baruch was practically signed TO
furnish the glamour. But he
backed out. pleading his years and
health. and the Presidents choice
of Clarence Dykstra represented a
reluctant compromise between the
Hllman and Perkins viewpoints,
Dykstra already having two other
Jobs. either one of which would be
enough to keep him busy.

Secretary OF the Navy Knox

Demands were still widespread
in Congress. however. that the

greater legal power to enforce its

opinion would force compliance
