Oyster Bed Leasing
Receives Endorsement
OF Resources Board
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-The Tide
water Fisheries Commission pro-
posal to lease Chesapeake Bay
oyster beds was bolstered today by
Endorsement of the Board of Natural
Resources.
The board voted approval of the
plan, which has been submitted to
the General Assembly, with the stip-
ulation that possible monopolistic
control of the bars should be guard
ed against and that small watermen
of the State should be encouraged
to lease the beds.
Board Chairman Edwin Warfield
jr., said the leasing proposal has
been misrepresented," in that "it is
our desire to see that large corpora
tions do not take over the bay bars. u
Negative Vote Recorded.
A board member, Norman E. Carr
of Anne Arundel County, asked his
negative vote be recorded, because
Il believe the bay rocks may come
back"
He said "the oystermen are more
prosperous now than they have been
for years. Ishaye known times when
the oysternen could flnd no buyers,
and that time may conae again.
II still fear that, regardless of
what safeguards are developed, the
bars will fall into the hands Of big
interests, thus depriving the small

Education Plan Suggested.
DR.. r. v. Truitt of the Depart
nent of Research and Education,
asked:
How in the world do you expect
the oyster bars of the bay to come
back? ." 9
"It probably took nature 1,250,000
years to build up the bay bars to
what they were when dredging be-
gan in earnest, and now, after a
relatively few years, we find the
rocks depleted" .-
George Harrison Of Tilghman
suggested the State "try intensive
education among the oystermen as
the best way out"
A group of Senators have intro
duced measure to abolish the Tide
water Fisheries Commission and
substitute for it chesapeake Bay
Authority" which would have vir-
tually the same powers.
Some legislators have described
the bay authority measure as rip
per bill" designed to get rid of the
present members of the commission.

Republicans Charge
Lee Policy Lowered
Montgomery Credit

Montgomery County's credit rating
has been lowered by Democratic
administration policy of refunding
bonded Indebtedness instead of re-
firing bond issues with current rev.
enues, the all-Republican delegation
to the General Assembly charged to-
day.
The statement followed meeting
yesterday between the legislative
delegation and the Republican,
controlled Board of County Com
missioners in Rockville. 1t was in
reply to Democratic organization
statement Saturday charging failure
to introduce constructive legislation.
The Democratic statement was
merely another indication of the
half truths and misleading publicity
which has been the practice of the
Lee Democratic organization during
the past 20 years." the Republicans
charged. They referred to E. Brooke
Lee, Democratic Party leader.
Welcomed Suggestions.
Chairman Anders R. Lofstrand, jr.
of the delegation to Annapolis said
members have welcomed suggestions
for laws affecting the general wei
fare of the county.
1--WE have attended more than 80
public meetings in every section OF
the county" he said. Our course
at Annapolis has been set by these
suggestions. 1t is an overall pro-
gram which cannot be fulfilled in
seven weeks When the legislative
session is over, we will stand on
our record"
In reply to the charge that no
attempt has been made to provide
new county schools, Mr.. Lofstrand
said the commissioners have been
requested to withhold recommended
tions and the legislative delegation
to withhold action until Montgom-
cry County's share of State funds
under the Sherbow plan is deter
mined. This has been requested by
School Supt. Edwin w. Broome,
he added.
and delegation have continuously
urged the superintendent of schools
and Democratic Board of Education
to give recommendations as to ac-
ton to be taken to insure an ade-
quate school program over the next
two years." Mr.. Lofstrand said. I'm
spite of this urging, no recommended
tions have been forthcoming"
Replies to Charges.
Replying to charge of failure to
provide rural road or suburban street
construction, Mr.. Lofstrand de-
clared:
"The county administration has
been operated in the red year after
year under the Democratic Lee ma
chine and each year it has been
necessary to issue tax anticipation
certificates to meet current needs.
During the war years, when no road
construction was possible, the Lee
failed to build up the
necessary postwar construction re-
serve and continued to refund bond
issues as they came due"
"The net result" he added, lis
that Montgomery County bonds
have fallen from a preferred Glass
A position to a Glass B position on
the Moody index. 1t is necessary
that money for school and road con-
struction at this time come from
greatly increased taxes or from the
sale of bonds at increased premium
rates.
The delegation is pledged to sup
port county control over boards and
agencies which was withdrawn
from the control of the voters by
the Lee organization the statement
said.
The Legislature has not adjourned
"and the delegation expects to keep
every promise it has made to the
people," Mr.. Lofstrand concluded.

7-2-3 -RecreotionDe Department
Has Beginners Dancing
By George W. Fey

The reasons are varied, but the
purpose is the same-they all want
to learn to dance.
Some come to learn new steps,
many are beginners who have never
been on a ballroom floor. Several
married couples turn out regularly,
to polish their technique.
There are a few Chinese such as
C. c. Zip, of 1920 Belmont road
NV, and K. S. Lin of 2019 Con-
necticut avenue NV, who have been
a bit confused by American ball
room steps and want to get into the
swing of things themselves. They
all like the idea of the District Rec
reation Department holding public
dance classes for beginners.
Dance Director Harry Matthews,
of the Recreation Department, starts
each new class with a few basic
steps, working from simple side and
forward steps to more complicated
tango and rhumba routines. The
dance class is in the gym at Central
High School, Thirteenth and Cliff
ton streets NV, each Wednesday
evening at $3.50 with music for the
group furnished by the piano play
ing of Mrs. Mabel Thickstun.
25-Cent Charge.
The group of nearly 100, which,
surprisingly enough, is nearly always
evenly divided between men and
women, spends the first hour on
basic steps. This with the entire
group in a circle around the gym.
The second hour is spent with
couples pairing off for individual
instruction and practice. Every
other Friday night at the school,
they bring in juke box for 2-hour
dance session.
Miss Virginia Inbody Of Arling-
ton, Va, said she knew a few dance
steps before she came to the dance
classes, but not very many. She
thinks a public dance class is swell
idea. Richard Allen of 1927 P
street NV. agreed and didn't seem
to mind at all the 25-cent admis-
sion charge.
Recreational Director Frank
Davis, who is in charge of the dance
classes, said many of the people
keep coming back week after week
getting to be better dancers all the
time.
Servicemen Attend.
1--WE have even had some ro-
mances flower here" he said. THAT
was bound to happen, since most
of our pupils come singly."
There was scattering of soldiers
and sailors over the room, with all

Bethesdo-Chevy Chase
To Give Charter Views

Residents of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase area will be afforded an op-
portunity to express their views on
a proposed charter form of county
government when the Montgomery
County Charter Board holds public
hearing at o'clock tonight in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School.
The hearing is one of series held

heads bobbing in time to a samba.
More than one couple had a near
professional kick and very con-
vincing hip swing. Marine Corpl
Robert L. Glogowski, stationed at
the Quantico Marine Base, revealed
that dancing helps to timber up
that stiff knee of his. While Yeo-
man &c Eddie Lowry frankly ad-
mitted he came to class to meet
some girls.

with me-" he explained "danc-
ing just didn't come naturally like
it does for some of these young
people. So I had to have some in
struction."
A story got in the papers few
weeks ago that the Recreation De-
partment was going to start dance
classes for males only-an attempt
to eliminate the male wallfower
The first class period came around
and a large, group of eager males
attended. But it wasn't the class in
ballroom dancing they anticipated
The class was in the modern ballet
dance.
Interest Stalls.
The idea was to get the men good
enough with their pas de bourree
to join the women's group, which
has been thriving for a long time.
The combined dance group was to
give a few public recitals. When
the men got the word, however,
they didn't seem to take to the
idea. The class dropped to four
members overnight. And the plan
is still pending.
The classes in ballroom dancing,
however, are attended by young
and old. At a recent dance a group
from the French Supply Council
was having a fine time. David
Bernard and Laurette Boulanger
were getting the hang of that in
tricate cross-over step, while Their
ese De CARMEL watched. Blanche
Davidson, who works for the State
Department, had never danced be-
fore. Now, with a few lessons under
her feet, she feels a lot easier
about stepping out on the dance
floor.
