WOODMONT ROD AND GUN
CLUB, NEAR HANCOCK, MD.
Mar. 22.-I've had it. l walked
% miles along the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal tow path yester-
day following Supreme Court
Justice William o. Douglas.
The pace was not fast. So We
were walking for almost 10 hours
and Washington is still almost
$50 miles away. I'm ready to
die any time now.
About IS mixers started off this
morning in brilliant sunshine
under cloudless skies. am going
to start the day with ride in
the truck.
Enough is enough.
Start in Blizzard.
The start yesterday was in a
minor blizzard. We took off along
the tow path just before it enters
the long canal tunnel opposite
Paw Paw, w. Va. 1t was the
first day of spring but it GER
tainly didn't feel like it.
Our cookies had been warmed.
however. by a wonderful break
fast of bacon and hot cakes
dished out at the Cardinal Club
by three members of the Po-
tomac Appalachian Trail Club.
There are a lot of remarkable
people among these mixers. eS-
pecially the men who drop every
thing they are doing to go along
and cook for the hiking crowd.
They are Bill Richardson, an ex-
pert on the post Office stamp
cancellations operation; Charley
Thomas, a retired letter carrier.
who just loves to go walking. and
c. F. (BilD Mersch. who runs a
pool room opposite the Four
tenth street car barns.
Mersch drives the truck which
carries the gear. Charley helps
out with everything. and Bill
Richardson does the cooking.
Good Pancake Recipe.
The way he takes care of men
constantly coming back for more
pancakes is amazing. There is
only room on the griddle for
two cakes at a time. But he
keeps popping them on to the
plates as fast as they are brought
to him. The bacon is cut by
hand and cut thick. Bills recipe
for his cakes, which we're deli
cious. is simple one: One-third
underground corn meal, two
thirds white flour pancake mix.
He adds two tablespoons full of
dried milk powder. one teaspoon
of baking powder and an egg for
every cupfull of the dry mix.
The long canal tunnel is two
f1fths of a mile long and so dark
that we had to get out our flash
lights to avoid holes in the
planking where the mules toWed
the boats until 1924.
The cut on the east side of
the tunnel was rough going.
The tow path had been COM
pletely washed away. But it was
easy for the justice who tackled
the Himalayas last summer. AS
for the rest of us, it's a good
thing we tackled it at the start
instead of the end of the day.
We never would have made it.
Hospitality Is Deterrent.
Back on the tow path we had
just stretched our legs and put
a few miles behind us when we

DR.. Byrd Says
He Still Earns
University Pay
Accuses Mohoney
Of Political Trickey'
In Criticizine 1t
By the Associated Press

~ wv NSsSssSHVO VtOSe
Or. H. c. Byrd said last night
he is earning the salary being
paid him as president emeritus Of
the University of Maryland and
accused George P. Mahoney. his
opponent for Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor of political
trickery" in criticizing it.
THAT kind of political chican-
cry is in keeping with the three
campaigns which my opponent
has previously carried out in
Maryland, in which he claimed
he would destroy or ruin his OPP
ponents." DR.. Byrd said.
Cites misunderstanding"
DR.. Byrd said a statement by
the manager of his headquarters
that he had declined an annual
salary of $22, 500 voted him by the
Board of Regents of the univer-
sity was a misunderstanding on
the spokesman's part. He said he
was receiving the salary at that
rate but did not plan to continue
it beyond the beginning of the
next fiscal year, July /.
Mr.. Mahoney had said Satur.
day that records at the comp
troller's Office showed DR.. Byrd
was still drawing his full salary
at president emeritus despite q
statement to the contrary by E.
Brooke Lee, manager Of. the
Byrd headquarters.
After Republicans in the leg.
islature had attempted to strike
the Byrd salary from the budget.
Mr.. Lee said DR.. Byrd told him
he had notified the Board of
Regents he wanted terminal
leave pay instead of a full salary.
This. Mr.. Lee said. would amount
to some 40 per cent less.
Wanted Loan Fund.
DR.. Byrd said Mr.. Lee had mis-
understood the situation. He said
he had indicated to certain
members of the Board of Re-
gents that did not intend to
accept any salary from that
budget and indicated to them
what l would like to have done
with the money. namely, to Gre
ate a loan fund to help poor boys
and girls in Baltimore city and
the counties to attend the uni
versity."
In his statement last night,
DR.. Byrd referred to Mr.. Ma
honey's question of what DR..
!. Byrd was doing to earn the
money being paid him at a rate
Of $22,500 a year.
DR.. Byrd added:
ut will be interesting. I am
sure. for my opponent to know
that there has hardly been a
day since January l when I
have not spent, either in the
morning or evening. hours in
my office at College Park.
Besides numerous confer.
ences and varied kinds of work,
two accomplishments in this
period in the last three months
will, am sure, greatly interest
my opponent.
Cites Two Projects.
THE first one of these is the
final accomplishment of a prof.
ect on which I have been, for
many months, working. and
which will not only be greatly
advantageous to the university
in many ways. but may mean
millions of dollars for it in the
years to come.
THE other is that I am re-
organizing another project, in
which saving of probably $780,
600 in University expenditures
will be effected"
He did not identify the pro-
jects.
DR.. Byrd said the board Of
regents had voted him the salary
to continue services to the uni
verSity and "also took in con-
sideration that in going on
AZ years of service to the uni
verSity, / had never taken a va
cation"

2. The type, design and loca-
