Prelude 10 Independence
BY the Associoted Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May IL.
Williamsburg soon will celebrate
the 40 days of legislative activity
that led directly to two of the

This period in 1776 produced the
Virginia resolution calling for
American independence and

rights that later became the basis
Of the Bill of Rights in the Con-
Stitution.
Williamsburg now looks much
as it did in pre-Revolutionary
days as a result of restoration by
John D. Rockefeller, jr. The city
annually celebrates the period
from mid-May to July 4 as the
prelude to Independence"
During the celebration, 48 grand
union flags will fly here. An ex-
hibit, centering on Mason's dec
laration of rights, will be on dis
play in the court house of 100.
Another highlight will be HUI
man Rights Day, June IL, when

South S Shooting Teams
Defeat North Again
BY the Associafed Press

RICHMOND. May 1.-THE
YankS and Rebs shot it out again
yesterday on a plain northeast Of
Richmond.
Front line observers reported a
decisive victory for the South.
It was the fourth Dixie triumph
in five skirmishes with Northern
musketeerS in the past three
years.
Actually, though, the score
stands at 4 to 2 in favor of the
Confederates. The North won
the first meeting, a little to-do in
the early 1860's. But, Of course,
the rules were different in those
days.
In yesterdays fray. there
weren't any casualties. The con-
testants fred at inanimate tar
gets and gave no thought to firing
at each other. The shooters this
time were gun collectors from
both sides of the Potomac.
The riflemen wore gray and blue
uniforms, just as the Rebs and
Yanks did nearly a century ago,
and they fired muskets that were
in vogue during the Civil War.

Trial Justice Indicted
On Grand Larceny Charge
By the Associated Press

DANVILLE, Va, May. 12.-Dun-
can M. Bird, trial justice in Bath
County, has been indicted on a
grand larceny charge by a Pitt
sylvania County grand jury.
Bird is charged with passing a
worthless check to a woman whom
he represented three years ago in
an alienation Of affections suit in
Appomattox County.
A spokesman for the Pittsyl-
vania Sheriff's Office said the
woman won 1880 in the suit and
a sum for this amount was turned
over to Bird by the defendant.
He said Bird kept out part of
the money for his attorney fee
and sent the woman a check for
$708. When the woman tried to
cash the check, he said, it proved
worthless.
Bird later made the amount
good, but the grand jury indicted
him last week. His case is due
to come before Circuit Court May
%.

Development Plans
For Jamestown Will
Include New PARKWAY
BY the Associated Press

JAMESTOWN. Va. May 12.-
They're getting ready to make
some more improvements at this
James River peninsula where the
'Colonists settled in 1907.
E. A. Hummel, superintendent
of the Colonial National Park, to-
day outlined a development pro-
gram for Jamestown Island which
will Include the following:
Removal of the present road
and ferry landing from the island
and restoring the old road from
Glass House Point.
Development of Glass House
Point.
Construction of a museum and
exhibit rooms to tell the full story
of Jamestown.
Marking the town site and prob
ably a few typical restorations.
Completion of the Colonial Ma
tional Parkway, which is aimed
at connecting Yorktown, Will
liamsburg and Jamestown, from
Glass House Point to Jamestown.
Mr.. Hummel said the National
Park Service, which will under
take the development, hopes to
complete the work before the
350th anniversary of the landing
of the first settlers, an event
which will take place in May,
1857.
The Park Service has already
acquired its right-of way between
Williamsburg and Jamestown for
the restored road and has COM
pleted a bridge across q nearby
creek.
Mr.. Hummel said the Park
Service feels the visitor to James,
town should have the opportu-
nifty to come to the island by
land over the same route as the
early settlers Travelled when they
went to Williamsburg.

Sewer System
Control Upheld
For Belle Haven
Appeals Court Says
U. S. Has No Right in
Condemnation Action

The Fourth Circuit Court Of
Appeals has upheld an Alexandria
Federal Court decision awarding
residents of Belle Haven owner
ship of the sewer system in their
subdivision.
In an opinion handed down at
Richmond late Saturday, the ap-
peals court held that the Federal
Government has no right to con-
demn sewer systems that already
are in operation.
Effect of the ruling was to dis
miss a condemnation proceeding
against the Belle Haven sewer sys-
tenn because the owners consent
was not obtained.
Controversy Since 1943.
The Belle Haven sewer con-
troversy dates back to 1943. One
of the major issues involved was
over monthly sewer service
charges. Belle Haven residents
claimed the Government had no
right to acquire their sewers, and
therefore no amortization costs
should be included in the monthly
rates.
The Government and the county
argued that condemnation of the
Belle Haven system was permitted
under the Lanham Act, the AsSo-
ciated Press reported.
About $50 residents use the
Belle Haven system. It was in
stalled before the Holmes Run
trunk sewer, but was connected
to the trunk sewer when it was
built 10 years ago.
The county bought the Holmes
Run sewer from the Government
for $500,000.
Existing Projects Cited.
The decision said the Lanham
Act, which enables the Govern
ment to obtain land for public
works projects in defense areas,
was not intended to affect exist
ing projects.
The Government, the ruling
said, is attempting Ito acquire
the Belle Haven system by pay
ing SO to the company which
constructed it and ignoring the
rights of those who are as truly
the real owners of that system as
if it had been built by them as q
cooperative enterprise.
There is nothing in the Lam
ham Act which authorizes this to
be DONE"

History repeated itse1f on the Mshagalr :.
River during the 1852 rod salmon season>
After a short operation the Fish and Wild :
life ssrvaeo ordered an early closure. :
suppos ed1y, tho purpose Of arch an early :
closure Is to allow rod salmon to reach th95
spawning grounds in sufficient numbers to x
insure good return ef rcd salmon TO tho y
river at some future dates IF it served X
that purpose. no one could object; or.sif
tho closures were ordered only occasionally
and 80 caused only mi nor dis1ocatton Of
our economy. then We might bear WI tn them
in silence. However. 1852 was the FOURTH
straight season during xss4oh SUCH a closure
was ordered for tho Mssha gak River. Early
closure has become a major factor in rsdues
ing the earning power Of every Fisherman
living here.
From the best sources Of information
availahle it is becoming more and more ev1-
dent that an early closure Of commercial
fishing does more harm than eood. There
are many diff erent races OF red salmon
which spawn in the Nushagak watershed. They
come at different times and they spawn in
different areas. Spawning conditions arc
most favorable to those races which enter
tho river in early July3 consequently those
races comprise the bulk Of the annual sal~
mon return to the river. That early es-
capement cannot b replaced by rcd salmon
from later runs or differing raAess There
fore, early closure Of the river to COM
mercial fishing IL worse than uselesss...
it is also wastsful and unreal onable1
TIA Fl sh and Wildlife Service has schedp
GOD an open hearing at Dillingham; FOR a
date early in August. We should 500 that
there is a good attendance at that hear
ing. And va should, for the sake Of the
record, that strong protest is
lodged with the Fl sh and Vf1d1ife Service
against administration Of tho salmon
Fishery in which early closure has be-
come rule and not an exception.
The primary aim Of the Fl sh and Wild
life Service should be to insure the per-
petuation Of the red salmon resource while
PERM tting reasonable annual catch to be
taken. The record Of repeated closures
thr;ug3a an entire spawning cycle demon
strates the utter failure Of the Fish and
Wi1dlife Service to accomplish this.
