Garhart Is Greatest
Husky Stroke, Says

SEATTLE, July 4.-In the back

Coach AL Ulbrickson is ready to
rate Ted Garhart, the blond giant
who never has rowed losing race
as the greatest stroke in his 15-year
regime at the University of Wash

Names Him Over Hume.
In naming the willowy Garhart
as the best of them all, Ulbrickson
hemmed and hawed at the thought
of Don Hume, the youth with
smooth power and perfect timing
who stroked Washington to world
title in the 1886 Olympic Games
Hume's performance that day ir
Berlin almost is legendary in Wash
ington crew annals-how, under
weight and suffering from a severe
cold. he rose to inspired heights
to raise the stroke to 40 a minute
in the final 500-meter squirt.

of the Chesapeake, from Annapolis
to Solomons Island and from the
latter up the Patuxent to Hills

The catches mainly are hard
head, for the trout which first
showed more than two weeks ago
have not increased beyond the
straggler stage. Those catches
which show more than half dozen
are ous Of the ordinary, and small.
The 6% FOUNDER caught by Frank
DelVecchio off Chesapeake Beach
continues to hold top honors so far
as we know.
Best Fishing on the "Hill."
Annapolis and South River boats
are fishing this side for hardhead
and the Kent Island shore and the
mouth of Eastern Bay for stripers
in the early morning and late eve
ming, and giving bottom fishing
whirl during midday.
Shady Side and West River boats
have been taking large catches
around the black can on the edge
of the channel but the best fishing
continues to be had on the Hill
on the other side.
Herring Bay boats fish this area
also as we'll as Poplar Island and the
"Gooses," although the latter is
easier reached from Chesapeake
Beach and Breezy Point. The large
school of small stripers that have
been cavorting around Herring Bay
for more than a month still are
there and rising with fair regularity
in the evening.
Solomons Islanders are expert

will surpass the exceptional one of
last year. Catches of hardhead num-

The real fishing in this area is for
stripers, off Cedar Point, at Point

ming with shore shrimp is the &C

Few Out for Bass Opening.
The opening OF the black bass
season on Wednesday found fewer
anglers astream than first days on
many years past. That was true of
the trout season, too. The crowds
will appear with the week end. The
appearance Of the Potomac here
easily may have Influenced many,
but above Whites Ferry it was
reasonably clear Even the Monocacy,
which usually pours load OF silt
into the main river for many days
after rain such as we had last
week, was clearing fast.
With no additional rain above bass
fishermen should find all streams
flshable by tomorrow. and there will
be no need for up-country fishermen
to concentrate on the lower stretches
of Little Bennett Creek at the mouth
Of the Monocacy, which for some
strange reason runs clear when all
other waters are impossible. Because
it is fished heavily early in the
season it usually is pretty well flshed
out before the second month rolls
around.
The high waters and the. heavy
content of silt coming down the
Potomac during the nesting season
will make short crop of bass this
year, but that will not affect this
summers fishing. Given clear waters,
preferably low, there should be fish,
ing as good or better than last year.

Enough 10 Be Issued
To Permit Runninq

Maximum Is ESQ GuIIons
With Four Per Unit

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

Pleasure boat owners in the East
Coast ration area, including Wash
ington, will be allowed gasoline
sufficient to operate their boats for
approximately so hours through the
rest of the summer, the Office of
Price Administration announced
this week.
Under a revised plan designed to
permit each yacht enough gas to
remain in commission through the
season, inboard boats will receive
4 gallons for each unit of horse
power in it's engine for six-month
period.
A maximum limit. however, has
been set at $50 gallons. On the
basis that the small cruiser now in
vogue today consumes an average
of S gallons an hour, this top
limit would permit so hours Of
operation.
While the revision announced
here was not as broad as many had
anticipated-water front rumors had
it the Government would allow
enough fuel for 100 hours of opera
ton this year-the announcement
came as good news to all boat own
ers here.
Means Return cf Long Trips.
First and foremost it means local
shippers can take those long-dls-
tance trips which were shelved
when fuel rationing went into effect
and permitted them only gal
Ions a week In addition, the Gov
ernment is anxious to see as many
yachts in commission as possible
because of their value in the event
Of emergency.
The horsepower on which owners
will base their claim for new ration
cards is the highest power the
manufacturer of the engine claims
that particular power plant will
generate. In other words, if your
engine rates 40 horsepower, you will
be permitted to buy up to 100
gallons.
If your engine is over 62.5 horse
power, you can purchase the top
$50 gallons, but no more, regardless
of the horsepower, OPA claims.
AS for outboard engines, they will
receive 5 gallons per horsepower,
with the ceiling set at 40 gallons.
Must Prove Ownership.
According to OPA, yachtsmen
may apply to local rationing boards
for their coupon books beginning
July 9. When you apply, take along
some evidence or proof of the manu-
facturer's rated engine horsepower,
as we'll as your certificate of award
of number or some form indicating
your ownership. Ration boards are
not going to take your word.
Yachtsmen applying will be issued
either "E" or "R" non-highway
coupon books containing the proper
number of coupons to be torn out
when gas is purchased.
The basic ration may be used as
the owner likes, OPA reports.
Boats actually engaged in defense
work through the Coast Guard
Auxiliary or boats used for training
purposes prior to entering the Re-
serve may apply for the fuel neces-
sary to carry on this work.
Those craft used for commercial
purposes where the boat is the
owners means of livelihood also will
be granted additional amounts of
gas as needed for such use.
Beginning with July II, yachts
men can count a total of IL week
ends of cruising through September
Under the present system the best
he could expect, regardless of horse
power or fuel consumption, is SO
gallons, which is a piddling amount
to any motorboat man.

in Prague wounded Reinhard
Heydrich, Hitler's chief gunman
and executioner in Czecho-
slovakia. The circumstances of
the attack are obscure; a bomb
exploded, killing the driver of
Heydrich's car, wrecking the car
and wounding the lord high
executioner of the Nazi terror.
Who did it? No one knows.
1t might have been a German, of
course, Gestapo man. There
are wheels within wheels in the
Gestapo Trained by the notori-
GUS Canaris, who was an organ
izer of the infamous underground
ReichSwehr, and collaboration with
Ludendorff's intelligence officer,
Col. Nicolai, Heydrich, for years
a spy, is Hitler's leading blood
hound.
He started even in the Nazi
movement as spy; the indus
trialists put him into the move
ment as their man. He ended
up as Himmler's assistant-and
also as his secret supervisor.
Or the assassin might have
been the father or brother of one
of the students masSacred a year
ago. Thousands have highly
personal reasons for a blood feud
against this monster.
For Heydrich has been the
organizer of the shooting Of
hostages all over Europe. The
blood OF thousands of innocents
is on his hands.
Killing Hostages Is Murder.
The shooting of hostages is
absolutely forbidden by inter-
national law 1t is not war, it
is murder. If an act is COM
mltted against the occupation
authorities, 10, 20, so persons,
against whom there is not
shade of suspicion, are taken
out and shot.
These hostages are collected in
advance for this purpose. How
are they collected? The GeStapo
rounds up personalities of social
or political influence in various
circles-amongst workers, mid
dle-class people or upper-class
people. The question in the
mind of the Gestapo is only:
Whose arrest will intimidate the
largest circle of people?
Then, when an act is COM
mitted against the regime these
already arrested hostages are
executed. 1t is blackmail plus
murder and a crime against the
first principle of justice and
civilization, namely, that no one
can be punished for a crime that
he did not commit. In the whole
history of modern Europe, in the
last war and this, no regime has
practiced this outrage except the
Germans. They did it in the
last war, but on an infinitely
smaller scale.

Meanwhile, the Germans, ac-
cording to many reports, have an
imposing force in Greece and the
Grecian and Italian islands of
the Aegean. Concentrations of

noted in that area for several
months. Military observers be-
lieve that eventually the Nazis
will decide, in view of the strong
Russian position in front of
KraSnodar in the Caucasus, that
a campaign in Syria might be
more profitable in their efforts to
obtain oil.
