BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOClHte0 Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-England's
situation in her war against the
axis powers, while far from desper-
ate, is admittedly grave, three AS
sociated Press correspondents, who
have gone through the entire bat
tie of Britain, agreed yesterday on
their arrival in New York,
The three. William G. MCGaffin,
Dwight L. Pitkin and Taylor Henry,
who left England December II,
reached New York on the Amer
lean Export liner Siboney.
In a three-point analysis of Brit
aims position as the old year end
ed. the correspondents stressed
that:
l. Britain's greatest need is not
airplanes. but merchant ships and
oestroyers to protect them against
German and Italian surface raid
ers, submarines and coastal bomb
ers
2. Continued German blitzkriegs
against British cities have done sur
prlsingly little damage to Britain's
essential war industries.
3. British confidence in ultimate
victory with American aid, far from
being shaken by the punishment
her cities have taken, has been
strengthened 100 per cent by the
Italian defeats in Greece and Libya.
Raiders Take Heavy Toll.
THE surface raider and sub
marine have become a far greater
menace to Britain than the night
blltz bomber" said Mr.. McGaffin,
native of David City, Nebr.
While the food situation in Brit
ain is nowhere near as serious as
1t was in 1917, German raiders are
taking heavy toll of conveys bring
ing needed imports to the embat-
tied island.
This, OF course, adds up to a
cumulative loss of merchant bot
toms, but even more serious is the
lack OF Varshlps to convoy the
merchantmen.
For example. as we passed
through Bermuda We saw a CONVOY
OF 18 vessels assembling. AS pos
slble protection there were only
one armed merchant cruiser and
two destroyers.
From food point of view, it is
fortunate that the British have
stored stocks reported in we'll

Difficult to Win Unaided.
Mr.. Pitkin. who was born in Alta
mont, Ill, said the British did not
think it possible for them to lose
the war. "but it will be difficult for
them to win unaided," he added.
Evening star., 1941-01-01

The British-both the man in the
street and the authorities-mak
no bones of this.
In fact. they are so anxious for
people in the United States to have
a clear picture of their needs that
the censorship except for obvious
military secrets might be said to be
almost nOn-eXlStent.
Il have known the censorship in
Spain, for example, both during the
civil war and afterWard, and there
is no comparison.
The reason partly, think, is the
overwhelming confidence you find
among all classes of Englishmen
from the London cockney to White
hall executives"
Mr. Henry, from Mineola, Tex,
said Britain's three main domestic
problems were "conquering the night
bomber, financing the war and in

Skeptical of Night Fighter.
Informed aviation circles are con-
vinced that night fighter is being

he said, adding:
This same prediction has been
made several times in the last two
months, however. but has never ma
terialized. 1t is hard to have faith
in a weapon against night bombers
when they still come over by the
hundreds and the maximum brought

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Jan. l.
Eight of nine colored men examined
Yesterday by the Berkeley County
Draft Board were found physically
fit for Army service.
This is the highest percentage of
men passing the physical examina
ton of any group in the county and
is the first Negro contingent to ap-
pear.
The percentage of whites passing
the physical tests in the county has
been around so.
In contrast also to the number of
dental defects in white men, no
colored man was eliminated on this
basis in the group examined.
The men passing the examination
were thus automatically placed in
class IA, making them eligible for
immediate service in the Army for
one-year period.

HoqanNowAims at Snead:s Cash Record
BrowneII Passes Up
Beach 10 Play Hot
Golf al Home
Time Spent on Courses
Making Him Leading
Player Hereobout

Bobby Brownell, the Duke gradu-
ate, decided late III May to take the
summer off for golf. His daddy,
an ardent golfer himself. backed
Bobby's idea that summer playing
golf is as good as summer lolllng
on an ocean beach.
BrownellS decision was poison to
the rest of the amateur brigade
around Washington, for the lanky
towhead from Manor is smack in
the middle of an astonishing win
ming streak; one that may bring
him nearly every big title open to
amateurs in this sector this year.
So far he has played in three big
Journeys around town and has won
them all, or the amateur end of
them. Saturday he shot a "a for
an unofficial course record at Manor.
Bobby Imports Partner.
Bobbys initial tournament ven-
ture this year was the Bannockburn
best ball affair. He imported part
ner for this one-one Hank Russell
of Miami, Fla, They did all right,
whipping the Jansen brothers of
Charlottesville, Va. in the final.
Next major sectional affair on the
BroWnell list was the Middle At
lantic championship at Hot Springs,
Va. He grabbed this one, too, lick
ing the veteran Spencer Overton
in the final.
His latest tourney victory came in
the Baltimore Open. where he not
only led the amateurs with 75-67-
142, but also cracked competitive
record of long standing for the Elk
ridge course. Bobby didn't play in
the Maryland amateur champion
ship or he might have won that one,
too. He was playing in the national
intercollegiate championship at the
time of the Maryland amateur. 1t
was his last whack at the rah-rah
title. and he went to the quarter
final.
Maryland Open Next.
Next big tourney for the Brownell
lad is the Maryland Open champion
ship at Elkridge tomorrow. And its
even money that he will lead the
amateurs again. and may even lick
the pros to win the championship
That 81 last week was a neat chunk
of Stroking. Another round similar
to that. and he may become the
first simon pure TO whip the pros in
what heretofore has been strictly a
pro affair.
Unless the draft catches up with
him. Brownell is heading for the
National Amateur at Omaha. He's
a cinch to qualify sectionally at
Baltimore August IA. and he can &C
a long way in the championship
itself. For Bobby right now is just
about the best amateur playing golf
in this or any other sector i'll the
East.

who would have knowledge and
interest in marine fisheries.
Several other States-New York,
Rhode Island and Delaware-al-
ready have passed such an act.
If the Virginia Legislature, when it
meets in the spring of 1912. will
enact a like statute a start to OBJ
tain Federal regulation then could
be made. There is little doubt New
Jersey and North Carolina would
Jump on the bandwagon, for both

fisheries.
We would have more and better
sport fishing, commercial men
would take better and more uni
form catches for which they would
receive a better price and the States
could be proud of shipping a prime
product of the sea.
A Tall Fish Story.
Here's one for the book. and it's
the best we've come across in a
long time. A woman angler had
hooked an amberjack at Boca
Ration, and in the manner of the
species it headed for recess in
the reef and the line was cut just
above the steel leader.
Several hours later she hooked an
amberjack, and landed it. 1t weigh
ed II pounds, and that's lot of
fighting fish The oddity of the
catch was that it was the fish she
had hooked and lost earlier. Add
to that it was caught by the hook
becoming twisted in the leader with
out even touching the fish. The
story is going to become hard to
believe by those who have fought
amberjack, but that's the way we
got it.
Marlin Limit Far OFF.
Large Atlantic blue marlin have
been hooked by anglers, but never
landed. 1t is easy to believe their
top weight may reach 1900 pounds,
but if the record fish do not in
crease in size any faster than dur
ing the last five years. it will be
long years until the limit is reached.
1t was in 1886 that Tommy
Shevlin caught the 636-pounder that
held first place until 1899, when
the 730-pound blue of Mary Sears
displaced it. Every one hailed this
as real feat. We would have pre-
ferred to see her keep this most
sought-after record in the big game
fish world unless it could have been
topped by many more than the 7
pounds by which the new title

The need for cooperation be-
tween the States in the manage
ment of their fisheries long has
been recognized by conservationists.
In the Chesapeake particularly all
species of fish migrate back and
forth between Maryland and Vir-
ginia waters. Blue crabs do the
same. In one State the minimum
size limit is II inches for the taking
of stripers. There also is maxi
mum limit of Is pounds. In the
other State there is a minimum
limit of 10 inches on the striper.
Both are inadequate.
In spite of recommendations from
the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service and tagging operations that
have proved conclusively that these
fish migrate and should be at least
Is inches long before being taken,
these old regulations still are in
effect. There are destructive prac-
tees in Bay fisheries and dragging
operations offshore. We have seen
the latter operate in inlets. when
they are not supposed to come with
in the 3-mile limit.
The new Department of Tide
water Fisheries, created by the 1941
Maryland Legislature, recognizes
this disregard of our marine re-
sources and say in the third issue of
their bulletin, Tidewater News, that
with the new authority granted the
State by the same Legislature to
"enter into compact" with other
States toward the better utilization
of these resources, they (the States
through joint action could ask for
the necessary Federal legislation to
protect them.
Federal Regulation Urged.
We always have advocated Fed
eral regulation of our fisheries, for
all food fishes are migratory. Just as
much so as waterfowl and other
migratory birds which have ade-
quate protection. not only in this
country, but in Canada and Mexico
as well through treaties.
Federal regulation would end the
continuous squabble between COM
mercial interests and sport fisher
men and between the States, hardly
any two of which have comparable
regulations We are for the new
commission and hope it gets started
on this important mission quickly.
Each State entering into the COM
pact would be represented by three
persons, one a member of the fish.
