Governorship Cledr
In reply to inquiries from
the Islands at to the stand of
the American Virgin Islands
Society on the Governorship,
Alberto Senior, president
writes in part:
Il have made it quite clear
to those on the mainland that
I am not seriously concerned
about the political affairs of
the Virgin Islands. My main
interest is in the social and
benevolent phase of our peo-
pie here M.Y.) and to that I
have not been devoting all my
time and energy. However, /
have not been viewing the po-
litical situation with complete.
Indifference. To do that is to
evade a responsibility that be-
long to all Of us"
Mr.. Senior expressed the
hope that the President will
give careful consideration to
all natives who have applied
for appointment as well as
those who have been men
toned. 1T was my hope that
the candidacy Of James Bough
would have gathered form and
substance and so become gen
eral in strength. Politics, how
ever, is hard, scheming, prac-
teal and I dare say, a%varicious,
and the impact Of its conni-
vance is no less felt in small
groups"
Continuing Mr.! Senior said
it was with a great deal of dis
appointment that he noticed
jim Bough's candidacy fad
ing in the picture and the can
didacy Of Ashley Totten is
now looming Bough left the
District Attorneys Office and
joined the UN to broaden his
perspective.
"The enrichment Of b j
knowledge and experience to-.
gether with his educational
background, not to mention
his great love and genuine
understanding of the people
and their problems. fit him for
the appointment to the Cover
norship."
In conclusion he wrote: Il

Angling in Chesapeake Bay
has picked up somewhat, which
is to say the pinhead croakers
have grown from four to six
inches. Some trout of about eight
inches or under have appeared,
the rockfish are mostly pan
sized or under. and were it not
for the perch and spot and the
occasional keeper hardhead it
would be a sad situation
Many anglers. are passing by
the upper Chesapeake and tri-
butaries for points farther afield
where the fishing is better, par
ticularly toward the Atlantic
coastal ports such as Ocean City,
Md. Chincoteague and Wacha-
preague, Va, and on up and
down the coast. Bluefishing on
the Coast has been superb and
now that the marlin are hitting,
practically every charter boat is
booked solid for weeks ahead.
This doesn't mean you cannot
catch fish in the ocean simply be-
cause you cannot rent one of the
party boats that run offshore to
the Gulf Stream. Boats leave
most all ports daily loaded with
hook and line fishermen for bot
tom fishing and at SO much per
head, every one gets his moneys
worth catching many species of
hard fishing fish. Also bays and
inlets all down the coast are
piled by a host of skiffs with out
boards, and anglers manning

them catch plenty Of founder,
trout, whiting and other species.
Surf casting opens up a whole
new field for most anglers, and
is a fascinating sport. Among
books written about this type
of fishing, one of the most
popular is Surf Casting" by
Vlad Evanoff which covers the
subject completely and sells at
books stores for a nominal price.
The Shenandoah and Potomac
Rivers have been clear lately and
for live bait fishermen, angling
for smallmouth black bass has
been good. Casting and trolling
will capture little fellows under
or barely legal limit. but for the
big bass a lively minnow fished
in deep holes is preferable.
There have peln so many
deaths from drowning while fish
ing from small boats that the
Coast Guard is strictly enforc-
ing regulations, especially con-
corning life preServers. The men
who rent small boats dislike, with
good reason, to furnish them.
Anglers have a habit Of losing
or appropriating them. AS a
consequence. when you next rent
a roWboat. don't be surprised if
you're charged with the rental of
life preservers which the law re-
quires. If you own your boat,
make sure you comply with the
law, otherwise You may be in
for a stiff fine.

courses were great deal differ

Carnoustie where he won the

Negro Golfer Shares
81. Paul Open Lead
With Six Under Par
BY the Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July IT.
Red-trousered Ted Rhodes and
Jimmy Clark. a self-assured Cali
fornian, held a one-stroke lead
today as a par-mauling field
teed off in the second round of
the st. Paul Open Golf tourna-
ment.
Neither had been given more
than passing glance in the pre-
tournament guessing. Rhodes,
one of a handful of Negro pros,
has never hauled down first
money in a major PEA event.
Clark won a pair in 1852, but is
a long distance from the high
income brackets this year.
Both licked off six-under-par
Cos yesterday to lead a free
swinging opening round which
saw the Keller courses par 70
split wide open. Doug Ford I'M
corked a 81, five others had 68S
10 more were grouped at SO and
another IA were congested at 10
and II.
The biggest surprise was the
38-year-old Rhodes, Joe Louis
personal pro. Aside from a first
round flash at the Tam O'Shan-
ter last year, Rhodes has been
obScured in the tournament
Scrambling.
Hits Peak of His Game.
Yesterday he broke out with
what he said was the greatest
competitive round of his career.
Recovering from a first-hole bo-
gey, the slim Negro produced
superb iron game which kept
him within easy reach of the pin
all day.
Then on the par five 18th
when he had to get down in
three to catch Clark. Rhodes
came up with the best shot Of
the day. His second came to
rest on bunker. some IS feet
from the cup. Rhodes hitched
up his outlandishly red pants,
studied the lie for almost
minute, and sank the shot for
his tie.
Clark, man with a solid con-
f1dence in his golfing talent.
methodically sliced up the course
with seven under-par holes. The
Laguna Beach (Calif) pro was
over on one hole.
FIuffs Two Short Puts.
Although he was thrilled by
his hot round, Rhodes bemoaned
a couple of fluffed short puts
which cost him the undisputed
leadership.
Two strokes back with 68s
were Freddie Haas. New Orleans;
Harry Barber, La Canada, Calf;
AL BesSelink, Grossinger, N. Y:
Wally Ulrich, Austin, Mimi, and
a University of Minnesota golf
ing instructor; Les Bolstad.
Between there and II the
traffic was terrific. And the
pros saw no reason why the
well-pummeled 6,557-yard lay
out wouldn't get another jostling
today.
After today's round, the field
will be pruned to the low go plus
ties. The winner will get $4,000
of the tournaments $4,000 mel
lon with an extra $500 tossed IN
for Minnesota pros.
