The Biggest Fish Story Of Them All

or scientists whose collecting boats are
trailed by schools of hungry sharks.
1t was all in the days work when a
diver attached to the Joint Army-Navy
Task Force brought up 30o-pound
clam with a shell more than feet
across, from the floor of the lagoon
where demolition teams are setting
charges to blow coral heads from the
anchorage area of the target fleet Fic-
ton and adventure writers say these
giants often clamp pearl divers to un-

to find them 'menacing," they report.
Harmless also, up to this writing at
any rate, are sharks drawn to the lagoon
in large numbers to feed on fish killed
or stunned by demolition charges Men
working beneath the surface see gray
blue shapes circling at safe distance
with only an occasional marauder bold
enough to come within reach, urged
possibly by curiosity rather than hunger.
Sharks Put to Flight

Scientists just back from Bikini say
some of the bolder sharks have been

Vernon E. Brock, director of Hawaii's
Fish and Wildlife Service, who has re-
turned to Honolulu after a two-week
survey of commercial fish which hooked
and netted some 10000 pounds of "dog-
toothed" tuna, skipjack, barracuda,
uluas, sea bass, wahoo and red snapper.
Mr.. Brock made frequent descents to
the reefs in shalloW-water Navy diving
suits to count the finny population and
record his observations with special
underwater writing materials. Sailors
under his direction trolled from three
Navy minesweepers with bone and
feather "jigs" to collect specimens from
the teeming lagoon, described by some
fishermen as a bonafde "sportsmen's
paradise"
Uncle Sam wants exact knowledge of
fish population and migratory move
ments before and after the bomb tests
because if fishermen of the future live
up to their traditions, they are almost
certain to blame i'll luck on some mys-
terious phenomenon like an atomic ex-
plosion, especially if it can be traced to
a solvent party.
Experts here consider it possible that
the subsurface test will virtually wipe
out fish in the 22-by-11-mile lagoon,
but doubt If the lethal effect will extend
far into the deep water outside the
coral reefs.
An amazing and colorful variety of
small fish in these soon-to-be- blasted
reefs are the special concern of DR..
Leonard Schultz of Washington, chief
curator of fishes at the National Mu-
scum, who for several weeks has been
collecting specimens from headquarters
on the U. S. S. Bowditch, which took
large group of biologists to the Mar
Shalls.

not to penalize. Some children will
respond only to the authoritative treat

Jack spent seven years in an orphanage.
His widowed mother saved enough money
to take him home with her when he
was u. She tried to make friends with
him. Jack took advantage of her leni-
ency. She began to give him orders.
Jack wouldn't obey He refused to go
to school. She pleaded, argued. The
boy lashed her.
Some Need Contact
With Other Children
Horrible? 1t. Murphy shrugged.
People don't understand that mother
hood is servicehood," he said. The
mother was just another stranger to
the boy. There was no foundation for
mother-son relationship. He didn't
owe her anything. The orphanage en-
forced strict rules but never taught the
boy individual responsibility.
Jack would react the same way in the
best foster home, 1t. Murphy believes.
He needs contact with other children
who do the right thing because they
know it to be right. A home for de-
linquents isn't the answer. He would
do well in boarding home. But there
is no boarding home available.
More Fairgrounds, better institutions,
more public and private psychiatric
services community meetings and adult
classes on child rearing, better training
in the schools, more concern by parents,
more neighborliness. Much is needed.

Asylum in 1860
Had 20 Children

st. AIMS Infant Asylum, under the
direction of the Sisters of Charity, was
founded in August, 1860, and seems to
have been located in the same spot from
the beginning of it's organization, when
it cared for 20 children. Today it cares
for 80 children and Is mothers.
An earlier diplomatic representative
from Great Britain to this country, and
the first British Minister to reside in
Washington, was Anthony Merry, who
served from 1903 to 1906, during which
period he leased the two buildings still
at 2618-2620 K street, then owned by
and formerly occupied by Thomas Peter
At this time there was but one other
foreign diplomatic representative sta
toned here with the rank of minister,
and that was Marquis Carlson M. de
IruJo from Spain. Edward Thornton
ana L. A. Pichon were Charge dAffaires
from England and France, and Pedro
Petersen, Consul from Denmark.
These two K street dwellings were
linked with two other similar groups in
the same street, built by Robert Peter

about 1897, but the two at Twenty
fourth and K streets were consumed by
fire before they were completed. The

Negro Loses Appeal
In South Carolina
Ry the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 26.-An
appeal by a 21-year-old Charleston
County Negro in a case in which the
International Labor Defense and
other organizations filed brief in
his behalf was rejected today by the
State Supreme Court.
All defense exceptions were over
ruled in the opinion, which upheld
the conviction and 25-year sentence
of Arthur Middleton for criminal as
sault on a white woman.
THE verdict of the jury Is fully
sustained and the sentence of the
court is free from error" the opinion
said.
Other organizations associated
with the international Labor De-
tense included the National Negro
Congress, the Charleston branch of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored people, the
Cosmopolitan Civic League of
Charleston, the Citizens Political Ac-
tion Committee of Charleston. the
National Maritime Union local at
Charleston and the Charleston local
OF the Food and Tobacco Workers.
Representative Marcantonio of
New York and Herman Rosenfield,
New York, were the attorneys filing
the brief as friends of the court"
The main point raised by the de-
tense was the trial judges refusal
OF a motion to quash the indictment
on the ground that there were no
Negroes on the jury or on the grand
jury that indicted Middleton.
In unanimous opinion the court
held that the selection of jurors con-
formed to Federal laws, and that.
IF no Negroes are drawn at anv
one term of court it is merely Incl
dental to the usual and customary
method of presenting the names of
jurors for each week"

CompetitionCh Changing
British Plan 10 Delay
Atlantic Air Travel
BY W. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.,

Growing competition for trans
Atlantic air traffic apparently is
weakening Britain's determination
to hold up the race until she can
enter it with transports of her own
manufacture.
Announcement at Bermuda that
the British had reversed their pre-
vious stand and would purchase five
Lockheed Consultations for the
North Atlantic service came after
three United States lines were well
along with plans for high-speed
flights of increasing frequency to
England and the Continent.
The British had hoped to convert
heavy bomber plants to the manu-
facture of modern, luxury transports
in time to meet competition from
abroad. Meanwhile, they rejected
this country's policy of freedom of
the air, and held out for restrictions
of landing rights, frequencies, rates
and plane capacities.
Others Buy Planes.
Other countries, however, had be-
gun to purchase or negotiate for our
surplus war transports and for new,
postwar types now beginning to
come off production lines-countries
willing to enter into five freedom"
agreements, including the exchange
of landing rights. These included
Holland, Sweden. Norway, France,
Spain, and more recently Argentina.
France is reported to have placed
orders for more than $4,000, 900
worth OF flying equipment with
American manufacturers, and In the
last few days Spain and Argentina
completed negotiations for 13 trans
ports, about half of them four-mo-
tored ships for long-range service.
Spain is planning extensive mod
erniZation work on an international
airpoxt at Madrid.
In the last few days at Bermuda,
Angle American conferees have
moved closer to an understanding,
with the British reported by the
Associated Press to be ready to
leave the control of fares and flight
frequencies to an international as
sociation Of airline operators. The
matter of freedom of traffic between
two pGnts outside the home country
Of the airline, it was said, probably
will be worded to protect the British
from European competition on the
New 4York-London route.
TIE British admittedly are far
behind this country in the develop
ment and manufacture of air trans
ports because of a wartime under
standing that they would concen-
trate on fighter aircraft while the
United States was to produce most
OF the heavy bombers and trans
ports.
Wanted Own Transports.
1t was understood further that
America would make transports
available to the British whenever
possible. The British, however. were
anxious to get their own postwar
models on the market, and we have
been more sympathetic" to the
needs of Nations subscribing to free
dom of the air. Too, national de-
fense policy in both countries calls
for an aircraft industry as nearly
self-sustaining as possible to serve
military needs In case of war.

court-marital should be executed,
only the records in the case will be
referred to Washington for final re-
view and confirmation. In that
event the reviewing officer would
be the Judge Advocate General.
The department added: Follow
