Talbot Bunting already has a
great number Of bookings for
1866. It is our understanding
that boats out Of Indian River
Inlet are also heavily booked.
In spite Of our fishing trip being
on Monday, we counted As boats
fishing the Jack Spot at one
time and undoubtedly many
others were nearby.
We expect to hear any day
now of the first marlin being
taken, although it is still a little
early for these fish. There is
great rivalry between the boat
captains for the capture Of this
first fish season.. Meanwhile,
the bluefiSh will continue to hold
the spotlight. It is astonishing
what a battle one Of these
relatively small flsh can make.

Senate Group May Not Act
On Capitol Police Bill

The House-approved bill to re-
organize the Capitol Police force
today ran into a Senate Rules
Committee road block that might
prevent congressional enactment
at this session.
The committee acted on sew
eral other bills at a two-hour
closed session but recessed with
out a decision on the police
measure. Members said it was
"anybody's guess" as to whether
the committee eventually would
report out, or even vote on the
bill before adjournment.
The committee set no date for
any further session but could
meet at any time at the call OF
Chairman Jenner, Republican,
Of Indiana.
The bill would. provide a pro-
fessional force of 200 men select
ed on a merit system and
trained by the Metropolitan Po-
lice Department here and the
FBI. Members Of the present
police force would have an op-
portunity to qualify for the new
force.
Such legislation was advo-
Gated as a result of the shooting
of five House members last
March by Puerto Rican terror
lists. A bill was worked out as
a result Of conferences between
Senate and House leaders OF
both parties. Details of the bill
however, aroused some opposi-
ton in the House Administra-
ton Committee before the
measure finally was reported
out. More recently the bill en-
countered still stronger oppoSi-
| ton from some Senators.

Dulin said.
AS time permits between
handling the gripes Of the citi-
zenry and conducting routine
inspections, the division staff is
being trained on the niceties of

Dulin Is to his, are Immediately

Mr.. Gwathmey said he is in no

we are able to see what demands
the overall housing code will
impose on us how many more
inspectors we will need" he said.
The two officials agreed that,
once they know the demands.
1t will be imperative that they
have enough inspectors at their
disposal.
IF there is a big enough
staff" Mr.. Gwathmey said,
then we can take preventa-
tive rather than curative ap-
proach. This will work out to
our benefit administratively,
since it would enable us to con-
duct thorough inspections reg
ularly and spot defects before
the complaints come in to tie
us up. This approach would
drastically reduce the number

In any event, Mr.. Dulin said,

Districts defective housing is
ultimately in the books. He
said he has not decided yet
whether the worst housing areas
Of the fringe" areas should get
attention first.
Leans to Tackling Worst.
Mr.. Gwathmey observed that
he inclines to the theory-ex-
pressed by Mr.. Dulin's former
chief. William n. Cary, jr.
Of '.nit the worst areas first to
reach pay-dirt."
Coordination Of all inter-
ested agencies must be achieved
to preevnt duplication Of In
spections and to prosecute a
program whose parts will not
conflict. Mr.. Gwathmey said.

cheering degree from Cornell

E. Milton Dulin Clears Decks

New EneineerMust
Reorgunize Division
While Awaiting Code
By John w. Stepp

E. Milton Dulin, q big soft
spoken man. who has spent
nearly half his life in District
government. today was clearing
some cluttered decks, prepara-
tory to launching the city's drive
to stop housing deterioration.
The 48-year-old engineer was
named chief Of the new Housing
Division Of the License and In
spection Department yesterday.
The Commissioners chose him
from among a dozen applicants
in and out of city government.
What apparently impressed
them was the fact that Mr.. Du-
Inns municipal experience in
cludes IL years in the old build
ing inspections Office and 10
years as assistant director Of the

The job Of preventing or re-
facilitating slums calls for a
man with an eye trained for the
health as well as building aspects

Faces Early Delays.
Actually, Mr.. Dulin will find
himself frustrated in the main
job. - for the next several
months, at least-according to
his immediate boss. Cabell
Gwathmey, director of the Lii
cenSes and Inspections Depart
ment.
In q sort Of three-cornered
interview Of Mr.. Dulin by the
press, Mr.. Gwathmey pointed
out that the real housing bet
terment program cannot get
started until the District has
adopted an overall housing code.
Such a code is now being
studied by a special citizens adj
visory committee. But Mr..
Gwathmey estimated 1t will be
at least a year before the COM
mittee recommendations are in,
picked apart at public hearing
and finally acted on by the
Commissioners.
This doesn't mean Mr.. Dulin
will be sitting around twiddling
his calipers in the meantime.
