Act, Mr.. Green declared.

great loss, Mr.. Green added.

For-Reoching Results Forecast
From Lower Potomac Inspection

A long-range educational pro-
gram on conservation. conducted in
the schools, would do much more for
the preservation of marine life than
the most rigid set of laws devised,
the group was told by R. V. Truitt,
director of the Maryland Depart
ment of Research and Education.
Mr.. Truitt said the schools in Mary
land are already attempting to carry
out such program He pointed out,
however, that it would take about
generation for the full effect of
the campaign to be noticeable.
Little Effect from Pollution.
Most of the commission members
came away from the conference con-
vinced that pollution has little to do
with the decline of commercial fish
ing in the lower Potomac. The real
answer, they believe. is simply that
there is less fishing than there used
to be.

Maryland Department of Tidewater

are being exploited by commercial
fishermen.

The three-day inspection trip of
the lower Potomac by members of
the Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin may have far
reaching results in the months
ahead the commission members
agreed last night when they re-
turned to Washington.
Principal advantage gained from
the excursion is that commission
members now are familiar with the
waters where their problems are
concentrated Their trip took them
down the river to Colonial Beach,
Va, where they arrived Thursday
night. They spent Friday inspect
ing the oyster beds in the vicinity
and discussing the fishing indus
try.
The Technical Committee, an
adjunct of the commission. will
spend the next two months sitting
data anr, making scientific tests on
pollution in preparation for the
next meeting of the interstate
group. to be held IN Washington
around the middle of November.
Co-ordinated Action Sought.
In addition to studying the effects
of pollution on marine life in the
Potomac, commission members will
consider means of bringing together
authorities from Maryland and Vir-
GINA to coordinate enforcement of
fishing laws in the river.
I, Maryland State Senator l.. Harold
,Sothoron, commission chairman. said
the present system of individual en-
forcement of fishing laws by the two
States along the Potomac was &C
tually holding up expansion of the
commercial fishing industry. He
said the commission would do what
ever it could to bring about joint
action along these lines.
