New 100000 Marina
And Service Facility
OPENS Next WI eek
By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.

/ oJ motCofm @oWDOfuS, ia
A s1oo, 900 marina and boat service
facility opening on Washington
Channel next week will help ease
q shortage that finds many yacht
clubs reluctantly hanging out stand
ing-room -only signs.
The base, sponsored by g. King
Fulton, Is strictly an offspring of
the war. It's built almost entirely
OF surplus war property formerly
used by the Army and Navy.
The boating enthusiast believes he
has the answer for n1oortng at least
small outboard runabouts and serv-
icing all sizes Of power and sailing
craft. The base Is located at Maine
avenue and p street s. w.
Shortage Of Space.
The facility comes ut q time when
newcomers to boating are clamoring
for space. The industry claims that
new activity ON the water Is limited
only by the various marine docks
and anchorages now In use.
In addition, there appears little
likelihood that Government plans
for building additional yacht ma
rinas along Washington Channel
can advance at this time because
OF high costs and limitations on
public works.
Accordingly, few yachtsinen look
for new space before 1850.
In the meantime, however. Fulton
has pushed work on his project.
A 2o0-foot long dock, 40 feet wide,
Is supported on surplus Army pom
toors which Fulton purchased at
Government sale. Incidentally, they
are the same pontoons that clut-
tered up Washington Channel just
below Capital Yacht Club during
the war. The Army stored them
there for Use in the event any
bridges were blown up in this area.
Barge at End Of Dock.
At the end Of the long dock Is q
surplus Navy aircraft service barge,
also purchased from the Govern
ment. 1t spent most Of the war Oh
Norfolk.
Workmen now are busy convert
ing this into repair shops and Of
fees. Later Fulton hopes to install
a Atom derrick capable Of lifting
boats up to "A feet.
Additional pontoons will create
basin in which space will be pro-
vided for about 90 boats up to 20
feet in length.
To complete the picture, Fulton
is converting small Navy landing
ship to an emergency rescue boat.
1t will be equipped with a pump to
empty flooded or sunken craft and
also will be used as tow boat.
And If there is any doubt as to
interest in small put-puts, Fulton
reports he has received at least 100
inquiries for space thus far. Ex-
actly where 10 of these enthusiasts
will go is anyone's guess.

opinions of sun Bin Leeteh.
dry anglers as to what were the
best lures. One chap who had
good success. took his fish on a
yellow bucktail. Kelso Shipe Of
this city, who is an accomplished
angler, advised that he had been
most successful on nymphs and
showed us four nice fish to prove
it. Mike Hudoba was using q brown
and white deertail streamer and had
caught and released fish by 10
o'clock. A few anglers were using
various patterns Of dry flies with in
different success In the morning.
Some using worms attached to
streamers or spinners and flies, ran
afoul of the law on Big Hunting
Greek where only flies and streamers
are permitted
At Prev Savoy's Otter Valley Run,
John Hutton and others were hav-
ing best success on black flies and
streamers. Over on Floyd Akers'
Little Hunting Greek, we tried our
luck with fan-wing royal coach
men, our favorite fly because we can
see It's float best, but found that
the browns. brookies and rainbows
preferred a gray hackle above all
others, fished dry. Next o1that fur
mace or brown hackle produces best.
All of which proves that trout some
times are choosy and the best fly
is the one that catches the most
trout for the individual fisherman.

With Parties Split on
Ballot Arrangements
BY the Associated Press

its first national election tomorrow
with the dominant Kuomintang

tinues through Sunday.
The first days voting will be con-
fined to the election Of women
candidates from various women's
organizations. Representatives OF
vocational, professional and labor
organization will be chosen Satur-
day. Sunday regional assemblyren
will be elected. Results must be sub
mitted to the national government
within 10 days.
Chinese Seen Apathetic.
Most Chinese seem apathetic
toward the National Assembly.
which December Is must inaugurate
the new constitution with the elec-

|ident. 1
During the past "a hours the AS
|sociated Press correspondent has
flown halfway across China, asking
the Chinese man-in-the-street at
each stopping place what he
thought of the national election.
Most of them said they were un-
aware of any election. And those
who knew of the event dismissed it
as "of little Importance to me-
Nanking itself appeared COM
pletely disinterested. Shanghai
was the only city where even SEM
|blance of electioneering as known
elsewhere was in evidence.
The Kuomintang and the two
minority parties still are at odds as
to how many seats should be as
signed the small groups in the elec-
ton of members of the legislative

New Measures Against Reds.
Meanwhile, the central govern
ment took new measures to cope
with Chinese Communist troops un-
der one-eyed Gen. Liu Po-Cheng
who have made part of Central
China war zone.
Premier Chang Chun said prov
inces in the Yangtze River valley
affected by the war will be zoned
off into paciflcation areas and pro-
vincial governors given authority
over area commanders. Provincial
peace preservation headquarters
will be revived under the governors.
Fighting had been confined to
Manchuria and North China until
Gen. Liu's forces swung southwark,
menacing the rich Hankow area and
threatening to cross the Ys~~tze.
