Maryland Alters Bill
To LET Virginia Try
It's Own 0ystermen
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-The oyster
men of Virginia who use the Poto-
mac River to do their dredging
stand in danger of losing their boats,
but their trials would still be in VII
ginia courts.
Acting at the suggestion of Gov
Lane, the House Chesapeake Bay
and Tributaries Committee named a
Senate-approved bill which would
have permitted Maryland to try any
Virginians accused of illegal oyster
ing in the Potomac
The House approved the report
and the bill will be up for passage
today, along with a resolution to
appoint three Marylanders to joint
commission which would thresh out
all the Potomac fishing problems
with the Virginians.
May Seize Any Boat.
AS amended, the Maryland bill
now says that the State may seize
any Virginia boat caught by the
"oyster navy" but the operators
would 60 back to Virginia for trial
This has been done since 1885
under concurrent laws passed by
both States. -.
Gov. Lane explained at his press
conference yesterday that Virginians
could go into Maryland courts and
defend seizure of their boats, but
the bill as now drafted would give
the Free State some powerful au-
thority in enforcing the laws against
oyster dredging. Virginia law per-
mits dredging, Maryland law does
not.
Says Airplane Spotted IS Violations.
The Governor also disclosed that
since last November II the States
airplane had spotted IS cases of
Virginia violations. Six cases, he
said, have been thrown out by Vir-
ginia grand juries, three are await
ing action of Commemorative attor-
neys, Maryland has heard nothing
about 10 cases, and in 10 instances
the boats in question could not be
identified.
The Interstate Commission AL
ready has been approved by Vir-
ginia, whose Governor has strongly
protested passage of any restrictive
legislation by the Free State.
The Joint Commission is. sched-
uled to meet at Mount Vernon
March %, the 162d anniversary of
a 1785 pact covering fishing rights
in the. historic river.

the control class French. She also
teaches two other French classes
for the third and sixth grades.
Experiment 10 Years Old.
Those two classes are taking
French because last year the present
experiment began on an unscientif1c
and informal basis.
Actually, the experiment dates
back 10 years. 1t was then, that the
Wilson Teachers College girls began
teaching French to young children
in the Truesdell Elementary School.
which is a laboratory school for the
college.
Mrs. Catherine Gardiner, in
charge of the foreign languages de-
partment at Wilson Teachers Col
lege, said French is taught at Trues-
dell from the second through the
sixth grades as much to give the
student teachers actual language
teaching practice as anything else.
Barnard Has Two Classes.
Two classes are getting French
lessons at Barnard Elementary
School also, but through voluntary
arrangement, Miss White said. Miss
Vivian Vestel of the MacFarland
Junior High School teaches the
two groups at Barnard through an
agreement between the principals.
The ultimate aim of the expert
ment?
1--WE are hoping to show the value
Of a foreign language in a child's
general education" Miss White ex-
planned 1--WE want TO prove that
foreign languages should be taught
in one elementary school in each
section of the city so any child who
wants to get an early start in
languages may do So"
If the experiment is success,
which will be determined when it
Is concluded this school year, school
administration officials may include
foreign languages in the curriculum
of the elementary schools as soon as

Charter Board Asks Views
On Repeal Of Lindsey Law

The Charter Board of Montgom-
cry County today inquired, Should
the Lindsay law be repealed or
amended"
The law prohibits the nomination
or election of members of the Coun-
ty Council on a nonpartisan ballot,
and also prohibits any restrictions
on eligibility for the County Council
except that such candidates must
be voters, the Charter Board ex-
planned.
The 1914 charter made State or
county jobholders and members Of
Congress ineligible for the County
Council while holding such jobs.
As the law now stands, the Char
ter Committee cannot provide for
nonpartisan election of members Of
the County Council even though
every voter In Montgomery County
desired that method, the Charter
Board stated.

9-Yeor-OIds at .Jonney School
Take French in Experiment
By Colt HendIey

Little children like things that
are novel, they do not have the self
consciousness of the adult, they
mimic naturally - therefore, they
are able to learn foreign languages
more easily than older children.
Using that as basic principle, a
scientific experiment has been set
up at the Janney Elementary School
this year to prove that foreign Ian
guages should be taught in grade
schools.
At the Janney school are two
control groups" formed from the
9-year- olds in the fourth grade.
These groups, IS pupils each, are
as nearly alike as it is possible for
them to be-physically, intellectu-
ally, educationally and emotionally.
One Group Learns French.
One group is being taught the
French language. The other is not.
That is the only difference in their
study program.
At the end of the year, the two
classes will be tested again-this
time to determine the difference, if
any, between them.
Miss Emile M. White, head of the
foreign language department for
one section of the public schools, is
confident there will be a difference
in favor of the class studying
French.
Children Are Enthusiastic.
"This is a pure experiment and
so far has been brilliant success"
Miss White said. 1.-THE young chill
dren get large vocabulary of every
day words and show great enthusi-
asm for the work."
All of the work Is oral, as no text
books are printed for children of
that age group, she explained. The
children learn songs-17 SO far
carry on their class requests in
French and give skits in French.
They even count in French when
they do their calisthenics.

Navy Studies Pilot Effect
OF Frequent, Fast Climbs

The Navy has launched an in
vestigation into the effects on avia-
tors of repeated fast climbs during
operational flying.
The need for the study became
apparent during the Navy's Opera
tion Everest" recently held at Pen
sacola, Fla, to determine the effects
of oxygen deficiency on humans. The
tests were being made in a pressure
chamber, when it was discovered
that six of the 20 attendants who
entered the chamber daily to serve
food and make physiological tests
were stricken with attacks Of
bends" or aero-embolism.
These attendants, equipped with
oxygen masks, entered by way of a
lock to which simulated altitude was
raised 1000 feet minute until 1t
reached the altitude of those in the
chamber.
The doctors say that aero embo-
lism does not usually occur below
10000 feet. But since the seizures
occurred at the moderate altitude
of $4,000 feet and at rate of climb
not uncommon in modern military
aircraft, it is the preliminary belief
Of the investigators that the key
factor is the repetition of the ascents
several times in the same day.
Therefore the Nays School of
Aviation Medicine, at Pensacola Sc
lected $50 men of navy pilot age
and physical qualifications for the
sllbSeouent tests.

Drug Traffic Arrests
Rose in '46, Buf Dope
Seizures Declined

/ Arrests OF traf1ckerS IN Illicit
drugs increased sharply last year
as result of the continuing offen-
Isive against gangs operating in
major United States cities, the
Treasury Department announced
today.
| A decline In contraband drugs
seized, however, was noted both in
customs operations at ports and
borders and in internal operations
| by the Bureau of Narcotics The
total for 1916 was $500 ounces, as
compared to 10,400 ounces for 1915.
The decline, officials said, was
due in part to a shift in shipping
following the end of hostilities,
which interrupted supply lines" for
the narcotics trade. A similar sharp
decline, it was noted, occurred with
the shipping interruption following
the outbreak of war.
5000 Arrests Made.
In the departments report, off,
cials pointed to total of some
5000 arrests for narcotic and mar
tijuana law violations in 1916, COM
pared with around 2,200 in 1945
Wholesale indictments were OBJ
tanned in some major cities, the de-
partment pointed out. Among these
was Washington.
w. r. Johnson, commissioner of
customs, said the Customs Bureaus
Operations against smuggling other
than narcotics shifted sharply into
peacetime lines, such as jewels,
watches and other luxury goods, as
world travel expanded.
Emergency controls enforced by
customs, the announcement said,
were mostly removed during the
year, but the bureau had to exercise
continued vigilance to combat, ex-
portation of automobiles in VIOLA
ton of controls still in effect.
Gold Buttons Seized.
A typical smuggling attempt foiled
by customs was the seizure of $4,000
worth of gold buttons" found in
the baggage of Canadian traveller,
while the largest seizure of smoking
opium made in the United States
since 1889 was affected at the years
end. The contraband, weighing 30
pounds, was of Mexican origin, OFF,
cials said, and was seized in San
Francisco and Vallejo, Calf.
Other large seizures included "a
pounds of Iranian opium found
aboard a British ship and two 23-
pound seizures made on the Mexican
border, one at Ell Paso and one at
Douglas, Ariz.
Commissioner of Narcotics Harry
j. Anslinger said a series of cases
against members of the so-called
"107th Street Mob in New York
City were established during the
wear.
