Is
Fearful OF
.Anti-Red Bill
By MARVIN /. ARRoWsMITH

~ MAkVIN l.. AKKOWSMITH
THURMONT, Md. N-PresideHt
Eisenhower was pictured today as
convinced \ Senate-approved bill
to outlaw the Communist party
would make propaganda mar
tyrs" Of Reds in this country. He
repeatedly will try to persuade the
House TO kill the measure.
An administration official famil-
lar with the views of the President
who Is spending the weekend at his
Catoctin Mountain lodge here, also
told newsmen Eisenhower is in
complete agreement with Atty.
Gen. Brownell and FBI Chief J.
Edgar Hoover on the matter.
Both men have opposed outlaw
ing the Communists on the grounds
It would drive them underground
and make it much more difficult
b keep track of them.
The administration source here,
who asked not to be named, said
the President or his aides proba-
bly, viii talk privately with House
leaders in an effort to get the bill
shelved.
Eisenhower viii have an oppor-
tunity to do 50 Monday in Washing
ton at his regular weekly meeting
leaders.
The bill to outlaw the Communist
party was passed by the Senate
Thursday night by vote of IS to O.
Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) led the
Successful surprise move which
combined the outlawing provision
with another anti Communist weap-
on the administration does want.
That other section of the bill,
authored by Sen. Butler (R-Mdl,
is aimed At wiping out Communist
controlled labor unions. It pro-
videS that labor or business orga-
nizations determined by the sub
versives Activities Control Board
(sacb) to be Communist dominated
would lose their rights under the
Taft-Hartley labor law.
Humphreys proposal would
provide maximum penalties Of five
years In prison and a $4,000 fine
for persons who .wilfully join or re-.
main members of the Communist
party and commit any act to carry
out party purposes.
Despite Eisenhower reported
opposition to outlawing the Reds,
his aides declined to speculate on
whether he would veto the com.
bination bill if the House goes
along with the Senate and ap
proves it.
But the President was said tc
feel that such q measure would bt
most ineffective.
He was understood b have ex.
pressed the view Communist
abroad would be quick to spread
propaganda picturing U.S., Reds as
martyrs and victims of persecu
ton. And he also repeatedly feel.
the security of the country car
best be safeguarded by avoiding
steps which would force the Red.
further into hiding.
The President had an opportuni'
ty here yesterday to talk the mat
ter over with Brownell, who was
Eisenhower's guest - along with
other members of the Cabinet -
at IA informal outing.

DOLPHIN AND AMBERJACK.
BLUES. KING MACKEREL

Hatteras- No billfishes were
landed here during the week
ending Tuesday, August 8, but
plenty of dolphin, amberjack,
king mackerel, bluefish and
Spanish Mackerel have been
boated.
Fishing Center operators pre-
dict that the billfishing for sails
and marlin will pick up now that
August has arrived and the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream
have pushed closer inshore.
All party boats going offshore
have returned with catches of
dolphin if they trolled the sur
face near the edge of the Stream
or amberjack if they fished over
wrecks or reefs. In the same wa
tiers king mackerel have also
been taken along with false alba
core, oceanic bonita and other
varieties.
Trolling the Inlet waters at
Hatteras has produced plenty of
blues and Spanish Mackerel and
fishing for these varieties in the
Diamond Shoals area has also
been very good.

Icelanders. They tap the hot
springs and pipe the water to
nearby cities where it is used to
provide clean, efficient, central
heat for the homes as well as a
constant supply of hot water.
1.-THE Icelandic growing season
is too short to provide many veg
etables and fruits, Mr. White
says, 'but by using the heat from
the hot springs they are able to
grow bananas and grapes and to-
mato plants eight feet tall in hot
houses.
Describing the climate as tenn
perate, Mr.. White reminds one
that Iceland nevertheless Dor
ders the Arctic and that days and
nights follow the Arctic pattern.
During the short summers there
are days, he says, when the sun
never sets and on the other hand
winter nights are long. Time did
not permit Mr.. White to describe
the beautiful northern lights.
"Some Irish Monks were the
first settlers" Mr.. White outlines
the history of Iceland. The
monks were driven out around
$40 by the mighty heather vi
kings who came, first for raids
and then for settlement, from
the Scandinavian homes.
BY $50 enough settlers
had arrived for the country
to establish itself as a republic
with a constitution. Government
was through a national assembly

republic lasted 800 years. Finally
Iceland fell under Danish rule

CHANNEL BASS FISHING
REPORTED GOOD IN SURF
AS REPORTED BY AYcocK BROWN

Channel bass were
being landed in the surf from
one end of Hatteras Island to the
other during the past week end,
with the biggest specimans reel
ed in scaling at 80 to IS pounds.
Dozens of smaller bass in the 10
to Is pound class were caught.
At the same time anglers troll
ling in the Oregon Inlet area
were also catching channel bass.
George Dykstra at Dykes fish
ing Center on Roanoke Island
reported one catch of Is being
boated in one day with rod and
reel. "They are back in the inlet
earlier this year than ! have ever
known them to be in the past"
sail Dykstra.
Usually channel bass, the first
real game fish to make an ap-
pearance in Dare Coast waters
during the spring, move into the
sounds and seldom return to the
inlets and surf until early au-
tumn. This year is an exception.
Edgar Hooper, Buxton mer-
chant who accounted for five of
the copper fighters during the
past week end while squidding
for them with Hopkins lures,
stated that surf casters from Ore
gon Inlet to Hatteras Inlet were
bringing in fish. Hooper's largest
bass was a 80 FOUNDER. Another
Buxton angler Raymond Basnett
also accounted for five channel
bass, the largest weighing ap-
proximately 35 pounds.
Record for channel bass along
the Dare Coast so far this season
was a 621a FOUNDER landed by
Linwood DUDLEY of Hatteras on
the north shore of Hatteras Inlet
early in July. His big fish, the
first channel bass he had ever
landed, is likely to be in the
national prize money, if not first
place winner this year. 1t weigh
ed one pound more than the ma
tional record for 1858.
