other possibility.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Navy

Motorboat Owners
Receive Break in
Gas Rationing
Will Be Allowed Nearly
Same Amount as Lost
Yeor, OPA PIons

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.
Motorboat owners will fare much
better than motorists ashore as a
result of the lifting of the pleasure
driving ban this week, it was
learned yesterday.
Under present plans of OPA,
yachtsmen will get nearly the same
ration of gasoline they received last
year. One important difference is
this.
Instead of being able to pur-
chase their maximum allotment for
a six-month period which just
about covers the yachting season.
boatmen will get their ration every
three months.
Horsepower Governs Ration.
AS it now stands, you can apply
to your ration board for gasoline for
three-month period equivalent to
twice the manufacturated horse
over of your engine. with the maxi
mum allowed for that period set at
125 gallons. For example, if you have
a 45-horSepower engine, you rate 80
gallons for three months. At the
end of that period you are eligible
for another 80 gallons.
Outboard motor users are included
in this plan, and may receive up to
20 gallons for any three month
period
Yachtsmen were allowed up to
$50 gallons for a siX-month period
last year, although the differential
was three instead of two. Under
the new plan. boats with lower
horsepower will receive less fuel
while those whose engines are of
IS horsepower or more will get the
same ration as last summer.
Comes in Nick of Time.
In any event, the lifting of the
so-called pleasure cruising ban came
just in time as many boatmen are
turning their thoughts to the wa
terfront these spring days. Up un-
til this week it appeared yachts
would only gather weeds on hulls
this season.
For many shippers the ration will
be close to starvation limits, par
ticularly those craft with tenden-
cies for consuming fuel like motor
torpedo boat. However, as one
yachtsman commented. still it's
better than no gas at all.
At least yachtsmen won't have to
get by on a gallon and half
week.

OUTDOORS
with BILL ACKERMAN.

1t is more than half a century
since the first carp were brought to
America, so it is not surprising these
mud-rooters have become widely
distributed. In some waters they
have crowded out better species.
Strangely enough, however, where
carp have established themselves in
bass waters. the bass have immedi-
ately grown large and multiplied
greatly in number.
The stream fisherman dislikes
them on account of their habit Of
stirring up the bottom of an other
wise clear pond or stream and looks
down upon them as unworthy of at
tention until by chance he hooks
big one and learns carp are game.
Just this week Wally Tabor and
Jack Nelson fishing the Wicomico
in Southern Maryland learned that
10-pounders are not landed in a few
minutes, even with baitcasting
tackle. They found, too, that carp
taken in clean waters make a tasty
dish.
Carps are plentiful around WASH
ington and because Of transportation
the few carp fishermen who have
f1shed Washington Channel and the
Potomac from the seawall through
the years will most likely find their
ranks swelled considerably this sum-
mer.
These newcomers will learn that in
addition to being a good fighter the
carp is extremely cagey when it
comes to taking a baited hook.
Quietness and patience are prime
requisites. Without both good
grounds will prove unproductive.
Neither is the bait to be considered
carelessly, for although the carp
occasionally will gobble a worm or
some form of crustacea common
to the neighborhood their prefer
ence is vegetable. Green peas or
corn is best with dough bats. mixed
with cotton to hold it on the hook
a close second. Where it is possible,
batting the ground pays big divi-
dends.
From early summer until late fall
the surface waters of the Potomac
literally are alive with carp. They
are, however, the youngsters and
worth no attention. It is only on GER
tain grounds. best learned by fol-
lowing the oldsters in the game, that

hand that the carp is game fish.
