Fishermen. See
Confusion III,
Interpretation
OF Regulation

Key West crawfishermen
today were generally not
able to determine immedi-
ately the possible effect a
new state conservation law
will have on their businesses,
q check of the waterfront
showed.
The legal crawfishing sea-
son started yesterday, but
dealers said that quantities
have been small. But, they
said that all crawfish taken
have been within the legal
size that is, the tails on
the crawfish measure at
least six inches. Most of the
crawfishermen had earlier
expressed fear that they
would have a hard time find
ing fish meeting the new
regulations.
Meanwhile, there has been some
confusion among fishermen con-
corning the wording Of the new
law. II has been pointed out that
the ruling does not lhit llel
catching Of crawfish weighing one
pound, which was the former min
imum standard Of measurement.
The new law does, however, state
that no matter what the weight, the
crawfisi must haEe a tail measure.

f1cials today that if they plan
technical assistance programs in
other parts of the world along
the lines followed in South
America, they will "break this
Government"
AS Senate hearings on the $5.1
billion budget request for foreign
aid drew toward a close, Sena-
tor Ellender complained that the
Technical Cooperation Ad-
miniStration has contributed
some of its funds in Latin
America to capital investments
which he said we're not con-
templated by the technical as
sistance law.
Notes HarbOr Outlay.
The Senator said a 100000
expenditure was made on plans
for harbor facilities at Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. He also criti-
cized funds he said were made
available to co-operatives in
Peru and used partly for a farm
machinery pool and the reopen
Ing of small rice mills.
Senator Ellender agreed that
the Peruvian projects have been
successful, but charged that they
constitute state socialism.
Held Aid to Farmers.
Stanley Andrews, administra-
tor of the TEA, contended the
Peruvian programs promoted pri-
vate enterprise because they
helped re-eStabliSh more than
1900 small rice farmers.

U. 5. 10 Keep Trying
For German Food Aid

The White House said anew
today that the United States will
continue to try to move food to
Eastern Germany although the
gift has been srurned by Soviet
occupation authorities.
President Eisenhower told
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of
the German Republic in an ex-
change of communications that
I'VE shall continue to make clear
to the Soviet government that
the offer which was made on
July 10, 1858, was motivated
solely by humanitarian impulses
and that the food is available if
that government wishes to per-
NIT its entrance into the Soviet
zone of occupied Germany"
A food shipment left New York
last Friday for Germany. White
House Press Secretary James C..
Hagerty said today that food will
continue to be made available.
The Presidents message to
Chancellor Adenauer was in re-
sponse to one from the German
leader, expressing appreciation
of this Governments offer of SIS
million in food to relieve distress
in Eastern Germany, and ex-
pressing regret that the offer
had been rejected by the Soviet.
Chancellor Adenauel asked
that the food be placed at the
disposal of West German au-
thorities who, he said, would do
everything possible to make it
available to their fellow country
men across the line.
Chancellor Adenauer said the
American offer "has caused great
joy in all Of Germany and espe-
cially has given new hope and
new courage to the people in the
Soviet occupation zone of Ger
many"

FBI agents questioned Watson
in this case because Watson, too,
worked at the Pentagon-as a
shoeshine boy in the Pentagon
Shoe Repair Shop.
William Thomas, manager of
the shoe repair shop where Wat
son worked, said he doubted that
Watson knew Johnson. He ex-
planned that Watson worked in
the shops dye department and
his only contact with the public
was when he went on errands.
Had Not Read Description.
Asked why he had no suspicion
of Watson. in view of Watson s
close resemblance to the descrip-
ton issued by police and the fact
Watson had gone on a trip soon
after the murder, Mr.. Thomas
said he had not read the de-
scription in the newspapers.
Mr.. Thomas added that Watson
had asked permission in June
to go away for a week in July
and Mr.. Thomas thought he had
left town July 3.
If the police had indicated
their suspect was Ieft-handed." ;"
Mr.. Thomas went on, II might
have checked further because, Of
course, Watson was left-handed.' -
But he acknowledged he might
not have noticed that in the
newspapers either.

case. Police Chief Murray, Chief
of Detectives E. E. Scott and
