Maryland Asks
Virginia Action
On Fisheries
Urges State to Back
Bi-Stote Agency and
ForestuII U. S. Control
BY the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10.-Mary-
land today urged united effort"
with Virginia to forestall Federal
control of Bi-State fisheries.
This new plea for interstate
cooperation was contained in the
1949 annual report of the Board
of Natural Resources.
David H. Wallace. chairman of
the board and Of the Tidewater
Fisheries Commission, called for
"a determination to work out
mutual management problems.
His report on the fisheries unit,
one OF five conservation agencies
under the resources board, de-
scribed the passage by the Mary
land legislature of a bill to create
a Maryland-Virginia Chesapeake
Potomac authority.
Mr., Wallace termed this IAN
attempt to show that the states
themselves are capable of han
ding their own fisheries affairs" "
He opposed Federal control of the
fisheries and said, United effort
on the part of States is possible. u
Virginia Approval Needed.
Before the BI-State regulatory
agency could be formed. the Vir-
ginia legislature. in session this
month, would have to approve it.
Maryland officials frequently
have urged passage of the meas
ure as the way to peace on the
Potomac River and Chesapeake
Bay. Gunflre has occasionally
marked attempts by both States
to enforce their conflicting con-
servation laws.
Mr.. Wallace's report called ra-
dio communication "the weakest
spot" in law enforcement by the
30-boat Tfdewater navy. He said
he hoped soon to have two-way
radios aboard all craft. Only
eight are now so equipped.
The annual report, released to-
day by Executive Secretary Will
liam H. Bayliff, covers activities in
the 1949 fiscal year, which ended
last June 80.
DR.. r. V. Truitt, director of the
Department of Research and Edu-
cation. praised plans for an un-
usual fuller life" vocational high
school on the Eastern Shore.
Education Discussed.
"A new concept of practical
conservation education is grow
ing in Dorchester County," Dr.
Truitt said.
"The central idea would parallel
the usual vocational agriculture
curriculum but concentrate even
more on training pupils to live q
fuller and better life with and on
the community's resources" hi
added.
DR.. Truitt said, his department
is working closely" with w. T.
Boston. Dorchester superintendent
OF schools. ION plans to develop a
vocational high school dealing
with the water, marshland, forest
and wildlife resources of southern

Montgomery Citizens
Urge Law Clarifying
Wafer Pipe Liability

State legislation to require the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to repair breaks in
water pipes between the mains
and the property line, was urged
last night by the Montgomery
County Civic Association.
1t was pointed out that prior to
1949 the commission followed this
policy. Since then it has shifted
the obligation to the property
owner. A case now is pending in
the Prince Georges Circuit Court
to determine liability under the
present law. In this case, the
commission threatened to cut of
the water supply unless the prop
erty owner repaired the break.
The federation said it believes
that the public interest requires

Only One Dissenting Vote.
Maurice J. Mccarthy, chairman

ton Committee, made the report
on which the federation based
it's action. Only dissenting vote
was that of Henry j. Smelling
who felt that federation action
at this time would be too strong

Virginia Assembly SET
To Meet Tomorrow;
.Caucuses Due Toniqht
BY the A..eeiofsd Press

%sASAA4A~4>0s odA1. AV!-MCIA.
bers of the Virginia General AS
sembly, primed for the convening
of their biennial session tomor-
row. will meet tonight in Demo-
cratic majority caucuses in an
atmosphere Of peace and harmony
which is likely to wear off in a
hurry.
The major business tonight will
be the nomination of unopposed
candidates for Speaker of the
House, clerk Of the House and
other Assembly posts filled by a
vote of the members.
Delegate E. Blackburn Moore Of
Berryville, present House Floor
Leader, is unopposed for the
speakership Of the House to sue
ceed G. Alvin Massenburg of
Hampton, who failed to win re-
election.
Also unopposed is Col. E. Grit
fifth Dodson. clerk of the House.
Senate Has Two Vacancies.
The Senate organization, per-
fected two years ago and its mem
bers holding over until 1862,
apparently has only to fill vacan-
cies in the Offices of sergeant at
arms and gallery doorkeeper.
Caucuses out of the way tonight,
the assemblymen will convene
officially at noon tomorrow to hear
Gov. Tuck's farewell message on
the state Of the Commonwealth.
And the 60-day session of both
houses is faced by such major
problems as education, elections
laws. taxation, fiscal policy, civil
rights" and other fields of activity.
To the docket posed earlier by
legislative study reports and by
various members announcements,
three matters were added yester-
day. :. IT,
Delegate L. Lake Triplett, of
Fauquier, said he would introduce
a bill requiring state ABC stores
to sell half-pint bottles of liquor
as well as the pint-size and larger
containers. This would be a step
for temperance, he explained, to
provide small quantities for ABC
patrons who want to avoid the
temptation to drink too much.
Delegate w. Griffith Purcell, of
Richmond, said he will sponsor
legislation to have the state share
in paying for local sewage dis
posal plants. Since the states anti
pollution program can require mu-
|nicipalities to construct expensive
sewage treatment systems, the
state ought to help pay the costs,
he reasoned.
There also were reports that
amendments were being prepared
to change the wage-freeze section
lof Virginia's Public Utility Labor.
Relations Act, So that the state
would be permitted to adjust
wages If it had to operate q seized
utility over a long period Of time.
Tax Commissions Report.
Another legislative development
indicated an early conference be-
tween representatives Of the State
Tax Study Commission and the
League Of Virginia Municipalities
to try to reconcile apparent mis-
understandings" over the commits
sion's report.
Meanwhile, about rs members of
the Ministerial Union here went
|on record yesterday unanimously
opposing any bill in the General
Assembly authorizing the sale Of
liquor by the drink"
The clergymen, however, de-
clined to take any action on q
proposal that they support legis-
lation by Delegate Arlnistead L.

Sam Lano Free in Bond
To Await Appeal Of
Threats Conviction

Sdil LdllO, TIlIlCe oeOrSeS COun-
ty slot machine operator convicted
OF threatening tavern keeper, re-
manned free today under $4,000
bond, pending an appeal.
Lano was found guilty yesterday
at Upper Marlboro of threatening
John c. Duffy, when the latter
temporarily stopped using Lano
machines in Duffy's Tavern,
Brentwood.
Circuit Judge John B. Gray, jr.,
sentenced the 37-year-old defend
ent to spend a year in the Mary
land House of Corrections. He said
Lano's act constituted a mild
form Of blackmail."
Lano. who moved to Prince
Georges from New York, was tried
on two counts in a threat indict-
ment. Judge Gray found him
guilty Of a misdemeanor but &C.
quilted him of felony, which
would have carried much heavier
penalty. The judge said a techni-
cality saved Lano. in the felony
case.
Absolved by Good Luck.
"It's probably more by good luck
than by management that the
facts absolve you from the more
serious crime" Judge Gray de-
clared.
Duffy and his wife testified that
last August 10 Lano warned them
some one is going to Jail" unless
they re-installed two of his ma
chimes. which had been replaced
by some owned by Hal c. Bell,
Mount Rainier. They also charged
Lano threatened to use his in
duence with Mrs. Mary c. Brown
ing, chairman of the county ABC
Board. and other officials" to block
liquor licenses for the tavern.
Lano denied the accusations. He
said he went to the tavern to dis
cuss a loan Duffy had requested.
The States case centered on
four checks of $500 each. made
out by Duffy to Lano.
Checks Covered Loan.
The checks covered a $1,000
loan, the Duffys said. All parties
agreed they were postdated and
were to be deposited one at a
time, over a period Of several
! weeks. Lano said he Endorsed
them ahead Of time and turned
them over to a Baltimore novelty
firm, which disregarded his in
structions to delay their deposit.
One check was returned for lack
of funds.
When Lano came to their tav-
ern, the Duffys said, they offered
to pay him what they owed. but
he said he would rather have the
location" Of his machines there.
''Never in my life did I ever
refuse any money" Lano told
Judge Gray, II love it too much"
Asked by his attorney whether
he had ever tried to use influence
to prevent issuance of liquor IL
cense, Lano snapped: "No! I'm a
stranger In this county"
Several defense witnesses testi-
fled that since the threat indict-
ment was returned against Laro
Duffy has tried to extort money
from the slot machine operator
by Offering to withdraw the accu-
sations in this case.
1 Anthony T. DePietro, $500 block
of Varnum street, Brentwood, de-
clared Duffy proposed to make a
deal In exchange for $4,000 from
Lano. Sidney Kearns, former en-
ploye at Duffy's Tavern and the
brother of a Prince Georges police
man, said similar offer was made
to him.
These charges were denied by
Duffy. Judge Gray commented
that they had no bearing on the
case being heard.

For four hi q @ last Thursday,
from four to e. rs m, tiny two
year old Cynth & Z IL, the grand
per, teacher in / 40 oenix school
system, had the SS of her life,
while anxious fri, 8 8 md parents
were trying to fiji IN u e.
Cynthia anSwert IL questions
correctly that were put to her, yet
strangely no one believed what she
was saying. She told all; she was
not lost, but her daddy was, and
she was looking for him.
This is how it happened. Miss
Camper drove to the curb at 720
E. Jefferson where she and the
baby's parents live, opened the car
door and told the child to go in
the house and find her daddy, who
usually was at home at this time
every day, it now being about four
o'clock. After seeing the child go
into the house Miss Camper drove
off to keep an appointment with
her hair dresser.
Cynthia searched the house in
every room, but no daddy was
there. She came out on the porch,
looked, and waited, but no daddy
was in sight, and no one was home.
She skipped to the side walk, looked
at all the men and cars passing, but
no daddy could be seen.
It should be noted that Cynthia
was dressed in a pea green coat
with matching bonnet tied under
the chin, cream shoes and kiddie
riding pants, and on her arm was
swinging little red hand bag.
Looking fresh and clean, this brown
skin kid smelling like a bunch Of
lilacs, did what any other woman
would do under like situation, she
began to promenade, enjoying the
compliments of the passing pedes-

AMOS MILBURN
HIS OWN WORSE ENEMY

That's a strange thing to say about
an artist, but in this case it's true.
He's having rough competition
while heading the weekly Variety
popularity and sales record lists
with his record-smashing disc
Chicken Shack Boogie." But the
competition comes from his own
recordings of "Bewildered." Amos
and his group will appear at River
side Park, Friday, Feb. 10, give
evidence of their recording popu-
larity in their theatre and night
club dates. Every announcement
of one of their recordings brings
cheers of recognized acclaim from
the audience. When the twenty
two year old Amos gives out with
the voice and the piano, his records
really come to life and become hits
all over again. It's a mad, vocal
lifting, piano-pantomine route, the
young Amos goes through. They
call him the Chicken Shack
Boogie Man" for a good reason.

hear Hazel Harrsoin, noted Negro

while on a current tour.
However small, the audience re-
ceived her enthusiastically as she
presented a full program in four
parts, and which included selections
by Lizt, Chopin, Rachmaninoff,
Jelobinsky and other famed COM
posers.
Miss Harrison explained before
playing each number, why it was
written what is represented and the
mood of the composer.
The artists technical ability and
depth of emotion was excellently
portrayed. Particularly brilliant
was the Sonata in B Minor by Lit,
which was handled with exception
al technical artistry.
Miss Harrison is on leave from
her position as associate director

I Jefferson, Cynthia was sure that
her daddy was one of the men,
for he always came that way home.
But as she went among them her
daddy was not there.
The cars were passing first one
way and then the next; the pretty
red lights, yellow and green, flick

AS the last man went across 7th
ST., towards town, he threw a
pretty red thing in the middle of
the street. Cynthia toddled over to
pick it up, and when she stood up
with the empty hull of pack of
Lucky Strikes, she noticed that
every car for two blocks had stop
ped to look at her, until she reached
the uptown side of the street.
Since everyone was smiling, of
course she returned the compli-
