 Lee, who was shot down while on an OSS mission to China, had flatly testified under oath that "I have never divulged classified in formation in any unauthorized person."
 Rep. Herbert D.-LaD told Lee and Miss Bentley their testimony was so contradictory that it was obvious somebody lied" Both witnesses agreed with that state ment.
 Herbert said: "I don't know who is liar, but l am going to find out" And, he declared, he will insist that the justice depart m ent bring perjury charges against any witness who has lied.

Lee Denies Giving Miss Bentley
 Secret Information

WASHINGTON, (P) Duncan c. Lee, 33-year-old former OSS operative, denied in the face of new accusations yesterday that he ever gave any secret information to Elizabeth T. Bentley, confessed former Russian agent.
 In one-two order, the House un-American activities committee put Lee on its stand and then re- called Miss Bentley to repeat ac- cusations she has made.
 Lee, during the war, was with the office of strategic services, a counter espionage agency. He is now practicing law here.
 Lee swore he was not a com munist and said he had never dis closed secret information to any unauthorized person; he said it was hard to believe Miss Bent ley's charges came from a ''ra- tional person."
 Miss Bentley then took the stand and testified Lee told her about something super secret"

 The longshoremen and their leader, Harry Bridges, and the marine cooks and stewards were accused of following the commun- ist party line in a brief submitted by the employers.
 Bridges denied the charge and said he could prove the Pacific American shipowners association and the Waterfront Employers as sociation had fascist and nazi" connections.
 Both sides accused the other of deliberately impeding negotia- tions.
 The employers made an offer of a five-cent hourly wage raise and certain vacation benefits for the longshoremen. The marine cooks and stewards were offered a 2.3 per cent raise; the firemen 2.3 per cent and for work on steam schooner 6.3 per cent; the engin- eers. per cent on steam schoon-

 All of the offers were consider ably below union demand. Long shoremen had asked an 18-cent hourly boost. The employers also stood fast in the hiring hall con- troversy; they want the present union-named dispatcher replaced by an impartially-hired man. The unions have refused the change.

Jack already pulling out the blue
gills. These two men had arrived at
the lake day early in order to get
in an extra day of fishing.
When we three arrived the fish
were really hitting. Within a $50 foot
wide circle over so fishermen had
eongregated and nearly thirty cars
were parked on the ice. At intervals
airplanes landed on the ice and dis
charged passengers who would waste
no time in setting up their fishing
gear.
Most anglers used a short pole
about three feet in length and a long
leader for a line. A small cork and
sinker with helgramites for bait made
up the rest of the outfit. The poles
were usually a fly rod tip stuck into
short piece of broom handle.
With an ice spud hole was chop
ped down through the ice and the
water depth measured. Most fishing
was done at about l foot off bottom.
The water where the anglers had con-
gregated was only about seven feet
deep, but nearby was a channel so
feet in depth.
Most gills were taken in the shall
low water and in the afternoon the
so fishermen snagged at least 1000
bluegills. Nearly every angler went
home with his limit of 25, except
yours truly. Edwards is doing my
Dragging for me.
To keep warm in above zero
weather required plenty of clothes,
wool sox, galoshes, windbreaker and
gloves. The natives in addition each
had a wooden box with a gasoline
lantern burning inside. They sat on
these boxes to keep warm. Ice
shanties are not permitted in Indiana.
Nearby Clear lake abounds in
large perch. Natives snag these in so
feet of water with the same contrap-
tions but often use small minnows for
bait.
Hamilton lake which is over 100
miles from Bluffton, was apparently
in early years a mill stream. The
mill has been torn down, but the dam
remains which backs up a lake of
over 1000 acres.
Besides blue gills, the lake abounds
in bass, perch, crappies and other
species of fish such as catfish. Roger

Visit Game Refuge

The Conservation Division has a
good plan with their large refuge
program for each county. The How
ard Neff refuge at Hume, Ohio,
which is managed by Donald Range,
Allen county game protector shows
plenty of signs of game. The refuge
has 160 acres and a feeding program
twice a week attracts not only a null
titude Of pheasants and rabbits, but
predators too. Occasional scattered
feathers shows the work of hawks
and owls. But there is an abundance
of game despite the danger. Don has
eliminated a number of game killing
hawks and owls by pole trapping and
with steel traps placed on logs and
along fences baited with dead rabbits
and chicken carcasses. Other preda-
tors are bagged with his rifle.
Rabbits seem to run in regular
paths from the bramble and swale

Ice Fishing in Indiana

Good fishing and an Is inch sheath
of ice on Indiana's northern lakes
attracted a multitude of anglers the
forepart of the week. Hundreds of
small town natives and fishermen
from Ft. Wayne, Lagrange, Angola
and other large cities throng the lake
areas all Drawing the chill of winter
air to try their skill at the ever in
creasing sport of ice fishing.

Lake Erie Fishing Good

Mr.. and Mrs. Emory Benroth who
fished Lake Erie over the week end
said the ice near Catawba island had
hundreds of fishermen engaged in
the sport. The lake has about inches
of ice and fish shanties dot the ice
as far as eye can see.
Minnows are largely used as bait
on Lake Erie and most anglers fish
for pickerel in q water averaging 30
feet in depth. Few autos are seen
on the ice but traffic by air from
Port Clinton to Put-in-Bay was heavy
over the weekend. Between $50 to
400 persons were transported to the
fishing grounds around the islands.
Some good catches were made and
often two fishermen by selling their
catch can net $50 at the fish market.
Not bad for a days work. Mrs. Ben
roth snagged a nice pickerel through
the ice which was brought home for
dinner.
The tOrepart OF last week Monroe
Amstutz, Emory Benroth, son Rich
ard Benroth and Jennie Burkholder
were ice fishing at Lake Erie. The
party had an ice shanty which Emory
had constructed here at home and
which they carted to the lake in a
trailer. While there, a fishing enthu-
siast liked the shanty so much he
finally, after much persistence
bought it from Emory for $75. Emory
says he thinks he had better get in
the shanty business, little work and
lots of profit. Also they hooked g
number of other fish before returning
home.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1948-02-12

Edwards snagged the largest fish
taken during the day. 1t was a Is
inch bullhead and with a helgramite
for bait Roger pulled out the fish l
minute after he started fishing. Sure
made the eyes of the Hoosierites pop
tool
The larva of the June Bug (Cana-
dian Soldier) is also used by the
natives as bait. This writer was using
same and did not learn until after a
couple of hours fishing that the blue
gills had not been hitting on this
type bait. Most of the fish caught
were taken on a small helgramite
which the natives called the larvae
OF the Cahill fly.
Ed Rohm told us about his resort
on nearby Golden Lake. Says the
fishing is plenty good there too. He
has a grocery, cottages, garage,
and 20 boats and his store is the only
one on the lake. He is planning to
retire and will sell the outfit at
very reasonable price. He can be
reached at Pleasant Lake, RR /, In
diana. Write him for all the details.
