IT'S NOT often that Charlie
l. Mccarthy bites the hand of
Edgar Bergen-but the steel
industry's public relations
tried just such stunt at hear
ings being conducted by the
Presidents F a ct F in d n G
Board.
Up to the witness stand, to
argue against wage-welfare-
pension demands of CIO steel
workers came Ira Mosher, big
shot of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers. Mosher
didn't like the u n ] o ms de-
mands, and he didn't like the
Presidents F a ct Fin d ing
Board-Which he seemed to
think was a form of "statism"
and of compulsory arbitration.
But pay-off in fancy words
came wh e n Mosher sharply
criticized steel industry for
agreeing to appear at all be-
fore Presidents Board. Steel
industry is well represented
on MANS "attack" on steel

planned out in advance.
Steel unions rebuttal testi-
mony is expected to make big
dent in corporations elabor-
ate, wordy arguments. But un-
ion also stuck in a couple of
pins while industry was pre-
senting its case.

Your
Congressman

Dear Constituent:
H.R. 5939, my Aid to Educa-
ton Bill, would provide fed
eral funds for teachers sala-
ries in public schools. 1t was
written a nd introduced be-
cause everyone seems to be in
agreement that the greatest
single need in education today
is the raising of pay for teach
ers. Evidence of this feeling is
found in the editorial COM
ment of practically very
newspaper in t h e country,
articles in magazines of ma
tion a / circulation, cartoons,
and even radio comedians
gags.
There also seems to be gen.
eral agreement t h a t more
teachers are NEEDED in the pub
lie schools. The only way in
which we'll qualified people
can be attracted in sufficient
numbers to the profession is
making the pay conform more
nearly to the qualifications.
I do not think there can be
any valid objections to the
proposal on religious grounds,
because the bill addresses it.
self not to general federal aid
to education, but specifically
to the admittedly most press
ing need.
BY focusing + e d era aid
legislation on the problem of
more adequate Institutional
stating, there can be no place
for the argument on whether
or not services to the child, as
a child, should be included in
this legislation. Those matters
can and should be left to other
b ills, just as assistance in
school construction can and
should be left to public works
legislation.
One of the proudest lads in
the Ninth Ohio Distric C { is
George SelZ, who on July 80
becamse a midshipman at the
us. Naval Academy at An
napolis. Although his qualifi-
cations for entrance were very
high ] didn't have much hope
of appointing him to the Aca-
DENY this year. Appointments
are made a year ahead and
when j got to Washington all
appointments for 1949 had of
course. been made except that
of third alternate to one of the
principal candidates.
Midshipman Selz, at that
time the highest ranking man
on my list of candidates, was
offered tn e opportunity to
take the entrance examina-
ton as third alternate and he
decided to try it although it
there would be three
men ahead of him. 1t proved
to be a smart decision, because
the OF h er three candidates
failed to qualify for admission
and the post went to Midship-
man Selz.
The only redeeming feature
Of the Minimum w &c Bill
last week by the House
is the raise in the minimum
wage from 40 cents to rs
cents. Members voted to sub
stitute the Lucas Bill for the
Administration B i'll offered
by John Lesinski, chairman of

Reports

the Education and Labor Com
mittee, but we did manage to
salvage the hike in the mini
mum. However, the Lucas Bill
curtails coverage of the law
so sharply that should the bill
become law, we would have
a rs cent minimum with prac-
tical1y no one to pay it to.
There is some hope of
remedying this situation in the
conference between House and
Senate members to shape the
final legislation. The Senate
already has p passe ed a bill
which is somewhat more lib
era1 than the Lucas Bill.
I voted against substituting
the Lucas Bill and my first
vote on passage of the bill,
once it had been accepted as
a substitute, was no, because
I found it difficult to accept
the curtailed coverage feature.
However, when l realized it
was the best we could do in
this session, / changed my
vote on passage of the new bill
to a yes vote.
1t is estimated that the new
bill cuts the number of per-
sons benefiting under the law
by one to three million. No
body knows exactly what the
figure would be, because 1t
would take much long and in
volved litigation to determine
who would or would not be
covered.
The Lucas Bill may bar
h u n d r e d S of thousands of
workers from receiving the
rs cents minimum by chang
ing, in the clause which limits
coverage, the word necessary
to indispensable. 1t will take
many judges in many courts
long time to decide whether or
not a worker is indispensable
in the manufacture of goods
for commerce.
Among the many who are
excluded from coverage by the
proposed law are retail work.
erS. Retailers who manufac-
ture are exempt from the law
even in the manufacturing end
of their business. Agricultural
workers continue to be ex-
cluded under the law.
AT last the Buckeye State
has won recognition in our
National Capital by having a
street named in its honor. 1t
is one of. the incest streets in
Washington, too. Formerly
called Riverside Drive it runs
through the park areas around
the Ericsson, Lincoln and JEFF
ferson Memorials, and the
Washington Monument and
extends around Haines Point,
one of the most popular rec
reation centers along the Po-
tomac, II will probably be
travelled by more tourists than
almost any other street in
Washington except, perhaps,
famed Pennsylvania Avenue.
Much of the credit for the
naming of Ohio Drive goes to
Rep. Thos. A. Jenkins, 10th
District, who made a strong
plea for the change to the Ma
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.

FISHING REGULATIONS ADOPTED
BY STATE FOR 1850 SEASON

The Wildlife Council of the
Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources last week adopted tenta-
tive regulations for the fishing
season beginning March /, 1850.
The tentative regulations will
be confirmed at the January 27
meeting.
Approximately 35 lakes are ex-
pected to be added to the liberali-
zed waters where there are no
closed seasons, minimum legal
lengths and bag limits. The new
list of liberalized waters will in
clude all state-owned lakes total
ing nearly so.
In addition, the Council approx
ed opening one stream, and its
tributaries, in each of the seven
conservation districts in the State
to liberalized fishing. These in
clude Riley Creek in the north
western district; Vermilion River
in the north central district; Beav-
er Creek in the northeastern dis
trict; Salt Creek in the east CEN
tral district; Big Walnut Creek in
the central Ohio district excepting
Black Lick and Alum Greeks
Little East Fork of the Little
Miami River in the Southwestern
district and Shade River in the
southern Ohio district.
The lifting of the restrictions
on both the streams and lakes is
for experimental purposes to de-
termine whether or not fishing
has any harmful effects on fish
populations.
The experiment was started in
1945 with the lifting of restlic-
tions on Lake Alma in Vinton
county. In 1946, Al and 4S eight
additional lakes and one stream,
Shade River, were added and last
year the total number of lakes

opened to liberalized fishing was
26.
According to the records to date,
fish management officials of the
Division of Wildlife show that the
effect Of fishing pressure and
the fShermen's harvest exerts
little, if any, effect on existing
fish populations compared to the
natural reproduction in the lakes
and streams.
The Council increased the pos
session limit for live wild bait
minnows from SO to 100. The
fishermen last year, through their
farmer and sportSmen district re-
presentatives, asked for the limit
to be reduced to so but this year
requested that it be changed back
to the 100 limit.
No changes were made in the
bag limits, seasons and legal
lengths for those waters not in
cluded in the liberalized expert
ment.
The action of the Council fol-
lowed the recommendations made
at the public hearing preceding
the Council meeting where one
farmer and one sportsman repre-
sentative from each of the seven
districts in the State presented
suggestions and views Of the fish
ermen themselves.
Other action of the Council in
cluded authorizing H. A. Rider,
chief of the Division of Wildlife
to contract for the services of a
deer consultant from Colorado to
assist in conducting the winter
deer census to be made in Ohio
early in 1850.

MARBLEHEAD residents should
be mighty proud of their
beautiful home town, especially
after all the publicity the "tip of
the peninsula" received recently.
Firstly, the Ohio Development
Commission featured picture of
the Marblehead Light House
which appeared in hundreds Of
newspapers. In the Sunday, De-
cember 4th, issue of the Chicago
Tribune, another photo Of the
Marblehead Light House was fea-
tured among 'Best Vacation Spots
in the U. S. A" Most elaborate
publicity for Marblehead, however,
was the excellent feature story of
the villages Kelley Island Lime
& Transport Company, which ap-
pears in the current issue of
"BIG," published by Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company. On
the front page of this magazine
is photo of the X. I & L. T.
dock at Marblehead with the
freigher Ben E. Tate loading at
the dock. The lengthy story is
entitled "Flux for Hungry Fur
naces" and % photographs are
used to illustrate. Among those
pictured are Norm d. Shafer, man
ager of the company, and Louie
Smith, Port Clinton.

around the stems Of water plants,
other lie free on the bottom. They
are brown and l-l2th Of an inch In
diameter. But inch-long tadpoles
hatch from them within 2 weeks.
These pollywogs grow fast. BY
the time their front legs break
through the sheathing. the lively
