U. 5. Zone Industry Far
From Goal, Speaker Saws

Industrial development in the
American zone of Germany is
making rapid progress, but much
still remains to be done, billiard
E. Bird, national president of the
Society for the Advancement of
Management. told the Washington
chapter last night at the Willard
Hotel.
"The German suffers from in
ner emotional conflicts" he said.
Hes been told he's superior and
yet he feels inferior. This is one
of the roadblocks to the develop
ment of a free society that are
imbedded in historic social insti-
tutions."
Mr.. Bird pointed out that Ger
man business is at least so years
behind American business, mainly
because there is no system of ex-
changing information.
Mr.. Bird recently returned from
a two-month assignment for the
military government in Germany
where he consulted with more
than 600 German industrialists on
American techniques of manage
n1ent.

Latest Oyster Dispute
Between States |s0ver
Use Of Patent longs
By J. L. MichoeI

Maryland and Virginia today
began gnawing at a new bone Of
contention in the 150-year-olo
conservation dispute between the
two States.
The issue is whether oysters
may be taken from the Potomac
River by patent tongs-an en-
larged steel shafted version OF
hand tongs operated from a boat
equipped with mast, a boom and
Winder.
A new Maryland law said no
but Virginians, relying on theil
Interpretation of a compact OF
1785, have unofficially refused tt
agree.
Some Wait for Ruling.
The question arose with thu
opening of the Potomac River
oyster season yesterday when
watermen learned that a bill
passed at the last session Of the
Maryland Legislature banned pat
ent tongs in the Potomac and its
tributaries. Before that the de-
vices were legal in both States
Uncertainty as to whether the
new rules would be enforced i'm
mediately caused watermen to
use only hand tongs yesterday
Several, whose boats were
equipped for patent longing. de-
cided to stay ashore until the
issue Is settled. ...i
Reports from rivermen in
dicatad that only about six boats
worked at Swami Point and the
same number at Cedar Point. The
two are the main oyster bars In
the lower Potomac.
Some 80 to 40 boats were over
oyster bars near Blackstone Is
land with each tonger catching
an average of 10 to IL bushels
Most boats carried two man
crews. A few had three aboard
Price About So . Bushels

area paid about 81 a bushel. About
the same price was said to pre-
vail at the one packing house at
Colonial Beach, Va, and the two
at Rock Point. Md.
John Walter Smith Foster. chief
inspector for the Tidewater
Fisheries Commission. said that
Maryland Attorney General Hall
Hammond has held that patent
longing was illegal under the new
law.
Soon afterward Mr.. Foster sent
orders to patrol boat officers to
begin strict enforcement.
Mr.. Foster hailed the new
statute as "the finest thing that
could be done" to combat illegal
dredging. He said that masts,
booms and winders were outlawed
along with patent tongs and said
such equipment aboard a boat will
be considered prima facie evidence
of dredging or patent longing.
The question as to why passage
of the bill apparently remained
unnoticed was partially cleared up
when it was learned that the
bill sponsors, Senator's Monroe
Charles County, and Bailey, St.
Marys County, believed the bill
had died in the House Chesapeake
Bay and Tributaries Committee.
First reaction from the Virginia
shore came from the 300 member
Potomac River Oystermen's Asso-
citation. whose attorney, John E
Mayo said he believed the law
could not become effective until
it had the concurrence of the
Old Dominion Legislature.
Maryland Opinions Cited.
The compact Of 1875, he pointed
out, requires that laws effecting
Potomac River fish and oyster
problems be agreed upon by the
assemblies Of both States.
Mr.. Mayo said his organization
would oppose the Maryland view
point and that he would take the
question up today with State au-
thorities.
