Dream Of Capital
|Yachtsmen Results
In National Group

The long-standing dream Of
small group Of Washington yachts
men for q national organization
Of boat owners banded together
for mutual interests 10 becoming .
reality.
It's the American Yachting As
sociation, o non-profit group
headed by James A. Councillor, jr..
former general chairman Of the
Presidents Cup Regatta and q
member Of the Corinthian Yacht
Club here.
Since the outfit was launched
on o national scale early last
month, 1t has signed up yachts
men In Al States-all the way to
California.
The AVA might be compared
with two national groups well es-
tablished In their fields-the
American Automobile Association
and the Airplane Owners and
Pilots Association.
Chart Service Offered.
For q nominal annual member
ship fee. AVA offers such things
as prompt chart service. special
marine insurance. a newsletter
reporting on legislation and reg
ulations from Congress and Fed
eral agencies, and q lifetime serial
number which may be stenciled
on yacht equipment and will be-
come q permanent record in an
AVA lost-and-found service.
The idea for AVA goes back
several years. After much dis
cussion and planning. the organi-
zation was incorporated In Mary
land last September. During the
past winter. officers carefully
mapped plans for q Nation wide
KICKOFF in time for the 1850 boat
ing season.
Other officers are DR.. Alvin A.
Shapiro, vice president. who is
one Of the sparkplugs In the
Coast Guard Auxiliary here: Ward
M. French, of Washington, SEC
retary; Temple B. Marmaduke,
Arlington, treasurer. Two new
trustees were named recently.
They are William A. Smith of
Staten Island, N. Y, general
counsel of the American Power
Boat Association. and william
c. Horrmann. prominent st.
Petersburg (Fla.) yachtsman.
Boat Basins Planned.
Under such leadership. AVA is
looking forward to continued
growth.
On its program for future
development are the establish
ment of approved AVA marinas
(boat basins). adequate inspection
standards, and elimination of ex-
cessive repair and docking charges.
The chart service is the as
sociation's newest wrinkle. Mem
bers are promised latest charts
and Government publications the
same day their order arrives in
Washington. This will eliminate
having to write to several agencies
to procure various literature.
AVA headquarters has been es-
tabliShed in the Warner Building
here, with Fred Hamlin as man
ager.

Gambling Attack Not Aimed
Al Sasscer, Carr Says

Thomas S. Carr, declared yes

concerning gambling in Prince

as an attack on the integrity of
Representative Sasscer, Democrat,

can candidate for Congress in the
Fifth district, said his remarks
were misinterpreted when he ad-
dressed meeting of the Maryland

Clubs in Baltimore last Monday.
MY statement was clearly
pointed at the fact that gambling
has been prevalent in Prince
Georges County and that proper
enforcement had not been insti-
tuted by authorities, Mr.. Carr
asserted. "In no way did I even
remotely imply that Mr.. Sasscer
was or ever had been connected
with such operations.
The COP nominee said he was
sincerely sorry that this state
ment was misinterpreted because
I doubt that anyone can fairly
attack the character of a man who
has served this district openly and
