To Catch Dredgers
By J. l. MiehoeI
SpeeioI Correspondent Of The siar

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 5.-An in
spector for the Tidewater Fish
cries Commission was accused
yesterday of incompetence, neglect
OF duty and falsifying official
reports on oyster dredging.
After a seven-hour hearing be-
fore State Employment Commits
sioner Walter D. Owens, attorneys
were directed to submit briefs
within 10 days to support and
defend the charges against Guy
z. johnson. SIS. of Rock Point,

The charges were preferred by
David H. Wallace. executive
director of the fisheries COM
mission. on information supplied
by Chief Inspector John Walter
Smith Foster and Inspectors
George F. Ball and Howard C.
Shenton.
Illegal Sales Watched.
All the inspectors said they had
watched dredge boats operate il
legally and sell their catches to
buy boats from various points
along the shore from Cobb Island
to the Potomac River Bridge, be-
tween December 81, 1948, and
January 3, 1949.
Inspector Johnson, in COM
mand of the patrol craft, Chester
River, was. it was testified, nor
mally" assigned to the Cobb Is
land-Popes Greek section, but at
times was called to help other en-
forcement boats drive dredgers
from oyster bars farther down
the river.
The fisheries commission said
Inspector johnson was guilty in
that he had neither prevented
dredgers from operating in his
territory nor apprehended any
boat so engaged.
He was accused of flasifying
daily reports required by the COM
mission which were intended to
show what areas his patrol boat
had covered each day.
Inspector Johnson admitted he
had not made an arrest for
dredging this season but explained
that the Chester River lis too
slow to catch a good rowboat."
She will only make miles
an hour" he asserted, land I got

powered dredge boats ran away

continued, land how could r.

Says No Details Requested.
Inspector johnson defended his
admittedly laconic daily reports
with the assertion that the Fish

for more detail in the two years
the reports have been in use. He
insisted that the data filed was
correct.
