Compromise Sought
On Rock Fish Bill

A compromise In the contest be-
tween spokesmen for Secretary of
the Interior Ickes and Chesapeake
Bay fishing interests over the bill
to ban sale in the District Of rock
fish less than is inches long was
proposed today by Representative
Harris, Democrat, of Arkansas.
Mr.. Harris, who conducted q
hearing yesterday for opponents OF
this bill, said he would recommend
to the House District COMMITTEES
adoption of plan to bring Mary
land, Virginia and District laws
into conformity within two years.
This would raise the Districts S
present limit of inches to II, the
same as the Maryland law, and
raise 1t again in 1947 to IL inches,
the present Virginia rule. Since
the Maryland Legislature meets
again two years hence, he said,
Maryland might boost its limit to
IL to achieve uniformity.
Mr.. Ickes and his subordinates
have urged the 16-inch rule as a
means of conserving striped bass, or
rockf1sh. Representatives of Vir-
ginia and Maryland fishing inter-
ests, however, told Mr.. Harris such
a plan was not needed for conser-
vation purposes, that it merely
would deprive Washington Of need
ed food, glut Maryland and Vir-
ginia markets with smaller fish OF
kill the trade of a large percentage
of the fishermen.
The 16-inch bill had been re-
ported favorably by the District
Committee but has been held up to
hear formal protests from Maryland
and Virginia interests. Among those
objecting to the present bill yes
terday were Representatives Sas-
seer, Democrat, Of Maryland, and
Beall, Republican, of Maryland; {;

land Legislature and r. o. Norris,

New British Envoy
Insulted by II Duce

May 27-ThiS Is a crucial day
in our relations with Great Britain
II Duce received Percy Lorraine te
present his credentials but the visit
assumed an entirely different char
acter. II Duce, ordinarily courteous
and engaging, was very stern; his
face was like the face OF
an Oriental god, carved in stone.
III Duce asked whether the
agreement of April 16 d938) had
any value left in view of the trans
parent policy of encirclement
pursued by Great Britain.
Percy Lorraine was not expecting
the blow. He blushed and struggled
for words =" His strongest argu-
ment had to do with the attitude
maintained by the British during
the Albanian crisis.
III Duce countered harshly. He
accused British policy of plunging
Europe into war by her guaran-
tees to the small powers.
Agreement between the Germans
and Poles could have been reached
had Britain not interfered. Lorraine
spoke more strongly. = - II Duce
made a brief and cutting reference
to the Angle-Russian alliance, and
then the conversation was ended
abruptly. - His departure was
icy. ,..-
THE chief of protocol who &C
companied the British Ambassador
to his residence said, Lorraine was
flushed and bothered by a nervous
tic. He looked like a man who had
been slapped in the face. He talked

Welfare Board Chief
Opposes Suggested
Organization Plan

Strong criticism of a suggested
plan of organization of the business
activities of the Public Welfare
Board" by Frank M. Gray, business
manager of the board, has been
lodged with the Commissioners by
Arthur R. Pilkerton, District auditor,
who urged the Commissioners to re-
ject the plan.
Mr.. Gray's plan was submitted
a month ago and the Commissioners
named Budget Oficer Walter l..
Fowler, Mr.. Pilkerton and Byers M.
Bachman of the assessors office to
study the plan. No announcement
of the appointments was made at
that time.
Would Integrate Activities.
In his plan, dated May 8, Mr.. Gray
said he proposed Ito integrate the
business activities of all agencies Of
the board" and establish a business
ofdce. He predicted that central
ization of business activities would
save sufficient personnel at the vari-
Gus agencies and institutions to
'cover the expenses" of the business
office.
Mr.. Gray said his review of well
fare activities indicates there is not
sufficient information accumulated
and compiled currently of agency
operations for the board adequately
to control its internal operations and
present a positive approach in COM
munity planning"
Mr.. Pilkerton, who said the plan
would call for 10 or is additional
bookkeepers and clerks, said that
"as no accounting forms have been
submitted and the auditor has not
been requested to prepare forms. it
is difficult to understand how the
system can be put into effect July l.
1t is one thing to write a plan Of
procedure or system and another
thing to put 1t into effect
Would Handicap Heads.
Superintendent of institutions,
who are generally bonded, would not,
under the plan, be in a position to
adequately control, give or receive
counsel without contracting the busi-
ness manager and will not be pos
sessed of facts with which to in
teligently justify the institutional
needs before the Commissioners and
the committees in Congress" Mr..
Pilkerton added.
The auditor said the establish
ment of an expanded accounting
system in an Office substantially
removed from the parties individ-
ually responsible for the mainte-
nance of the activities would make
it necessary that there be a COM
plete duplication of the accounting
work and take away from the super
intendents and others at the insti-
tuition financial control and data
which are absolutely necessary to
properly conduct the affairs of the
institution"
