Ruin Of Beauty Spots
On Potomac by Oil
Companies Is Hit

Protests over plans for a 90
900, 0,000-gallon oil terminal at
Piney Point, Md, by a Washing
ton oil firm are now being heard
here from boatmen.
Residents of the Piney Point
area earlier this month objected
to the proposal. Accordingly, the
Army Engineers have called a
public hearing next Friday at VAL
ley Lee, south of Leonardtown.
Frank G. Campbell. we'll known
yachtsman, has this to say:
Just why the oil companies
should seek out the beauty spots
along the river as location for
unsightly tanks is not clear, but
it is a fact that they have per-
sistently done so with great re-
sulting damage to the comnuni-
ties concerned.
Spoiled Potomac Beach.
For example, Potomac Beach,
just above Colonial Beach. This
was one of the most attractive
places along the river. The clean
sandy beach, with the relatively
high banks sloping gently away
from the beach. surmounted by
a hotel, was a delightful spot until
the oil companies. spoiled it with
their Wharves and tanks.
There is no more beautiful
tributary CT the Potomac River
than st. Mary's River. St. Mary's
landing, aside from being beau
ty spot is one of the most historic
spots in the Nation, but that did
not prevent the oil companies
from spelling it by the erection of
oil tanks within a stones throw
of the landing.
Other Instances Noted.
"Tappahannock on the Kappa
hammock is another case in point.
Here was another historic spot
and the old Riverside Hotel
nestled close to the sandy beach
among fine old trees was a de-
lightful place until the oil COM
panies came along and slapped
battery of huge oil tanks almost
in the front yard of the hotel.
"Piney Point is one of the most
beautiful spots on the river. It's
fine bathing beach has caused
hundreds of people to build their
summer homes there. There is
no more reason for the Federal
Government to close it's eyes to
the facts of the case and let a
commercial nuisance set itself
down in a residential area than
there would be for a municipality
to permit a business nuisance in
a strictly residential area. There
are miles and miles of river front,
sparseiy settled. Let the oil COM
panies 60 there If they want

Mrs. Dale supplied the anglers
with food as they stayed with
the fish, riding around and
around the lake. Spectators
called encouragement from the
shore Some of them stayed up
to 3 am, Dale said.
Finally, shortly after s the

Occasionally some one reports a
really good catch in Triadelphia.
but for the most part, mediocre
fishing is the lot of the vast ma
jority of those who fish it. 1t is
our opinion that temperature re-
cords of various depths Of water,
coupled with close observation of
the topography of the bottom Of
Triadelphia Lake is one key to this
problem. That various species of
fish prefer different water temper
atures Is almost elemental know
ledge. With high atmospheric
temperatures resulting in high
top water temperatures, one feels
instinctively that the bass have
sought lower water levels. How
ever, just how one may discover
the proper level can be determined
only by taking the temperature at
various levels. Then by persistant
fishing of those levels and mark
ing spots where good luck has oc-
Cured through lining up various
shoreline objects Of more or less
permanent nature. one should be
able to raise his average catch
considerably. We hope, to be
able to test this system this sum-
mer. and will report any success.
1t works for such expert anglers as
Jason Lucas and Jack Knight.
both of whom have national rep
utations. There's no reason why
it won't work for others.
We are glad to report that Sen
ator. McCarran's bill, S-1870. pro-
hibiting the sale of rockfish in
the District of more than Is
pounds or less than IL inches, has
overcome its first hurdle. 1t was
passed by the Senate on July e.
and now goes to the District Com
mittee in the House. We believe
the bill has an even chance of
passing in this Congress- .~and even
if Congress adjourns it will not
become a dead issue. 1t is a good
bill in every sense.
Waterfowl regulations for this
coming fall are in the course of
being finally processed. They may
be cleared and signed by President
Truman in time for this weeks
publication or certainly by early
next week. While we, of course
do not know what changes. If any
will be made. because Of some in
creases in the supply Of birds. it
is reasonable to suppose that there
will be some liberalizations pro-
vided. The increase is not as
large as hoped for, due to early
conditions on the main breeding
grounds forcing many of the birds
to nest in secondary areas with
resultant smaller matches. How
ever, the ducklings that were
Matched are reported doing well,
and there is every reason to be-
lieve that conditions will continue
favorable during the balance of
the season prior to the fall mi
