state on what days or evenings they

Thinks County Has
Great Possibilities
For Recreation Area
Director U. S. Travel Bureau
Visits Many Places This Week;
To Speak Before Rotary Friday

That the "surface hasn't yet been
scratched" in regard to the possibili-
ties of Garrett county as a recrea-
tional area, is the opinion of w.
Bruce Macnamee, director of the T..
s. travel bureau, of the department
of Interior, Washington, D. c., who is
in Garrett county for a two-weeks'
stay.
Mr. Macnamee declared to mum
Der of people here and before the
Oakland-Mt. Lake Lions club on Mon
day evening that he was completely
"sold" on possibilities for develop
ment Of this area not only as sum
mer resort, but as a mecca for hunt
ers in the fall months, and as a recre-
alton area for winter sports.
The "fIy in the ointment" at pres
ent seems to be the lack Of accommo-
dations. Most of the cabins and cot
tages around Deep Creek Lake have
been filled with prospective vacation
ers being turned away, and reserva-
tions in many instances continue until
in September. There are from 300 to
400 cottages around the lake but no
hotels and no prospects of any build
ing until after the war.
Mr. Macnamee during the week has
visited many spots. Tuesday he was
at Swallow Falls and Harrington
Manor with Mayor Lawrence NJ. Fra
ley, and with a major in the Marine
corps, located at Quantico, Va, who
is spending a short vacation in the
cabin next door to Macnamee's at
Stone Tavern.
He told Fraley he would plan a con-
ference with the new head of the
Maryland State Forestry department
upon his return to Washington.
Mr. Macnamee, who is a former
White House correspondent for the
International News Service, will be
the speaker at the weekly meeting of
the Oakland Rotary club on Friday
evening.

Police Discover
spy Suspect" Is
Only Vacationer
Stranger Questioned At Deep
Creek Lake Revealed AS A
Research Chemist

A veteran chemist for a Philadel-
phia drug company was cleared of be-
ing suspected spy over the past
weekend and still retains his place as
just a plain "vacationer."
Several days previous both the
Maryland and West Virginia State
police received reports that a man
who spoke with pronounced accent,
took various photographs and carried
a book written in German, was travel
ing in the Deep Cree1 area and at
Mount Storm, West Va, and nearby
West Virginia points.
State police finally located the man
on Saturday at a Deep Creek Lake
inn. The man was Abraham |. Kop-
pleman, SO years old, wore glasses and
had a mustache, and seemed to be i'm
pressive in his appearance, according
to George NJ. Browning, Maryland
State trooper.
Browning said the man was seem
ingly surprised at being accosted by
law enforcement officers but took the
whole affair Every nicely"
Being brought to Oakland the man
informed the officers that he was a
research chemist for the Abbott Drug
Company Of Philadelphia, and that he
was vacationing in the mountains. His
story checked with information re-
ceived from Philadelphia.
Besides being a chemist, Mr.. Kop-
pleman exhibited credentials which
proved his identity not only as a re-
spected professional man but in ad-
dition he formerly was editor of a
magazine dealing with chemical re-
search
Corporal Thomas Currie, who aided
in the investigation, said Mr.. Kopple-
man was a native of Odessa, Russia.
Troopers Davis, Karickoff and Kelley
of the West Virginia State police,
also assisted in the investigation.
