Virginia Co-opeTa!tes
In Maryland S War
On Oyster Poachers
By J. [. MichoeI
S,oy S,off CORRESPONDENT

SO0O4NA1AD SG111S44s Nd', OCN'
11.-VHginia. working in har-
mony with Maryland, has low
cred the boom on Potomac River
oyster pirates.
Charles M. Lankford, jr.,
chairman of the Old Dominion
Fisheries Commission, today dis
closed all-out moves that are
swiftly chasing the picturesque
poachers into the shadows of
the past.
Time was when Virginia's bold
dredgers, about to pillage the
Potomac'S lush oyster bars, all
on the Maryland side, had only
to- watch for slow Free State
navy" craft and an occasional
airplane zoom.
Virginia Orders Cooperation.
Today two regular patrol boats
based here and a rowing high
powered ship have strict orders
from Virginia to aid Maryland
in enforcing conservation laws.
Virginia'S four-seater Piper PAGER
plane makes frequent runs over
the river.
The new policy. promising an
end of the bullet-spattered BIZ
valve feud which had plagued
the two States for 168 years, is
the result of series of good
will conferences between Vir-
ginia and Maryland commits
sionerS.
Mr.. Lankford and Arthur
Brice, chairman of Maryland's
Department of Tidewater fish
cries. have led the peace-mak-
ing parleys, held at unannounced
times and places.
Both believe the new era in
enforcement of Potomac River
fish and oyster laws will prove
to be a major step toward solu-
tion of all bi-State conservation
disputes, both on the Potomac
and Chesapeake Bay.
Only Hand longing Legal.
Under Maryland's law, only
hand-tonging is legal on Poto-
mac River oyster bars. Vir-
ginia statutes permit dredging
with small hand scrapes but the
bi-State Compact of 1785 re-
quires Maryland concurrence.
Dredging was banned by both
States in the 1930s.
In recent years, Maryland has
made strong efforts to rid the
rivers of dredges but has been
handicapped by lack of cooper
alton of Virginia. Nevertheless,
the Free State navy" has re-
duced this towns one-tine 100
strong pirate fleet to a mere
half dozen. -
About the same number of
Virginia dredgeS planned this
season to sweep across the river
in swift boats, "hit few fast
licks" and speed home safely. h
That isn't easy now. Based
here are the Dawn" Capt. w.
B. Marchant and the 'Nomini."
Capt. Harry Miller, with sharp
eyes and telescopes trained on
craft heading to Maryland.
These commanders telephone
Maryland State police at Wal
dorf when they sight prospec-
tive marauder and the police
radio relays the word to the
Maryland navy"
To dredgerS, that means the
likelihood of being caught in a
pincer movement, a risk few, if
any. are willing to take.
Favor Hand Dredging.
Mr.. Lankford said he believes
that hand-dredging should be
permitted in the Potomac be-
cause otherwise oysters accumu-
lating under water too deep for
longing will just lie there and
die"
The Maryland Fisheries Com
mission agrees.
But Mr.. Lankford made it clear
that until Maryland's Legisla-
ture enacts laws concurring with
those of Virginia, there will be
no letup in his States enforce
ment activities.

Views on Social Security

Because of the widespread current
interest in social security, would like
to convey to The Stars readers little
bit about the work of the House Sub
committee on Social Security of which
l am chairman.
While my subcommittee and its staff
will be engaged in fact finding only,
want to first make a few personal
observations about social security. 1t
is here to stay. No individual in my
district or in any other CongresSman'S S
district will have the benefit he is re-
ceiVing taken away Or cut. I have
always felt that such program should
be for all the people and not for only
part of the people. Several years ago I
wrote and introduced some Of the
earliest bills to extend coverage to pub
lie employees and the self-employed.
Now, concerning the subcommittee
work, in order for Congress to do the
best and soundest job in the field of
social security, it is important that all
possible facts be obtained The social
security program involves many billions
of dollars. 1t touches the lives of all
of the American people. Our inveSti-
CATION of social security is a fact
finding study. The regular legislative
hearing, where those for or against
various proposals may testify, will be
conducted by the full Committee on
Ways and Means early next year 1t is
my hope that the results Of the sub
committees work will be helpful to the
full committee when they deal with the

Now, buying suit is something
Jones just naturally hates to do
Probably most human males feel that
way.
1t is not the expense, so much as
facing the clothing store clerk.
This wight is superbly dressed, as
BELTS his calling.
His tie is just right, and his trousers
have an immaculate crease.
His shoes are shined to the limit,
with edge and heel finish freely used.
All in all, the modern clothing store
clerk is perfect sample of what the
Well-dreSSed male should be.
And as such, he gives Templeton
Jones an inferiority complex, first class.
Jones has, in his time. walked in on
great generals. even kings, without
batting an eye.
He has seen the great climb up the
ladder and be pushed off. He has
watched the visible become invisible,
and the invisible become visible.
Nobody gets his goat quite as much
as the haberdashery clerk.
1t does no good for Jones to remind
himself that the guy does not make a
fourth or sixth as much as he does
or that he probably never went past
the eighth grade in school.

Bishop Dun on Americunism

Bishop Dun's views on Americanism,
as reported recently, were puzzling to
say the least.
The Right Rev. Angus Dun is quoted
as warning us against the vague gener-
ality of political demagoguery'' that
seeks to stifle differences of opinion
lin the name of Americanism."
Just as did former Secretary of State
Dean Acheson, Bishop Dun also strongly
advocates peaceful and harmonious
'eo-existence with the Soviet power
system" and recommends strongly
against any action by this country di-
rectly inciting revolts within the So
Wet dominion. The clear and obvious
fact that Christianity based on faith
and brotherly love cannot conceivably
exist side by side with goddess, murder
Gus and depraved communism is evil
IDENTIFY something that the learned
bishop has never taken the time to
consider.

Warfare a la Mode

In these days of extraordinary development
of new weapons, and of rapid obsolescence OF
the old, it is interesting to read that one of the
favorite accessories of American fighting men
from the early days of the Republic has been ice
cream.
AS long ago as 1894, when American ex-
peditionary forces were fighting Indians in the
Northwest Territory, the diary of General
Mad Anthony Wayne recounts that his off,
GERS sat down after victory to enjoy dishes OF
ice cream, a dainty which the Army had not

so than the ingenuity which members of the

of a supply of the frozen delicacy. Air Force

Neglect of Wilson College

AS a native Washingtonian, an Eve
ming Star carrier, and student at
Wilson Teachers College, I desire to
bring to your attention the neglected
needs of Wilson Teachers College.
The college, with present enroll
ment of $50 students, is located in a
building constructed in 1918, which
building together with improvements
and betterments through the interven-
ing years represents a present capital
investment of public school funds ap-
proximating 100000. Current operat-
ing expenditures approximate 100000.
It's high academic standards; its out
standing reputation throughout the Ma
ton as teachers college: and the
accomplishments of it's graduates in
the field of public education in the
District of Columbia and other States
justify the faith of the Board of Edu-
cation in its continuation and eX-
pansion.
Both the president of the Board of
Education and the Superintendent of
Schools have stated at congressional
hearings that the plant facilities and
equipment are woefully inadequate for
preSent-day college standards and that
the curricula should be expanded so as
to provide postgraduate courses and
degrees required for teachers who desire
to instruct in the secondary schools of
the District of Columbia comparable,
of course, to the requirements of other
teachers colleges throughout the coun-
try. The "Strayer Report" so called,
makes these same recommendations
foi nf m 10
new plant facilities so sorely needed and
to authorize expanded curricula con-
sidered in the light of capital expendi-
lures authorized for primary and sec
ondary schools in the District of Co.
lumbia can only be explained as the
neglect of that portion of the youth Of
the Nations Capital who desire to pur-
sue their education beyond secondary
school leVels-an opportunity that is
afforded every youth in every one of
the forty-eight States.
1t is not urged that facilities sorely
needed at primary and secondary levels
be deferred in favor of providing new
plant facilities for Wilson. 1t is, how
ever. urged that present facilities for
which there is a declining need at the
secondary level be converted for the
use of Wilson Teachers College. In
1880 the enrolment of Western High
School constructed in 1899 numbered
1910 students. BY 1949 this enrolment
had declined to 691. Western High
School with minor notifications would
provide adequate quarters for Wilson
Teachers College even with expanded
curricula. The transfer of this facility
to Wilson Teachers College, it is be-
leved, temporarily at least, would pro-
vide the opportunity for the youth of
the District of Columbia to obtain a
college education upon terms more
nearly comparable to those offered in
every other State of these United States.

Make 1t Public

The Northern Virginia Regional Planning
Commission has placed itself in an untenable
position in refusing to make public certain
portions of an independent survey report on
deficiencies of the system for controlling juve
nile delinquency in nearby Virginia. The only
explanation given reporters for Withholding
a part of the report dealing with court facilities
and procedures was that it stepped on the
toes" of several judges. That is not an accept
able excuse for suppressing findings of survey
sponsored Jointly by the governing authorities
of Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun Counties and
the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church. The
study was paid for out of public funds and the
public has right to know what was revealed,
no matter whose toes may be stepped on.
The survey was made by Frederick Ward,
Southern director of the National Probation
and Parole Association. A section of the report
recommending construction in the area of
Jointly financed juvenile detention home was
released to the press by the planning group,
but the remainder of the report, said to contain
constructive recommendations for improve
ment of court activities in the delinquency field,
was held back Mr.. Ward author of the report,
and Herbert Kruger chief Of the Virginia
Bureau of Juvenile Probation and Detention,
urged that the full report be given out, in the
interest of arousing public support for the
detention-home proposal. The commission,
after rejecting suggestion that an "edited"
version of the report be released, decided to
send the report, unpublicized, to the county
boards and city authorities concerned.
If there has been any mishandling of
Juvenile delinquency cases by any of the Judges
or any one else in nearby Virginia full airing
of the facts is in order. Trying to cover up the
facts is peculiar way of stimulating public
support for the detention-home plan or other
proposals for improving the setup.
