Fair Loyalty
Plank Asked
From The stars Convention Bureau

! From The Stars Convention Bureau
CHICAGO, Aug. flames A.
Campbell. national president of
the American Federation of Gov
lernment Employees, today asked
the Democratic Party for "a fair
and non-political loyalty pro-
gram"
/ In a statement prepared for
delivery before the party's Plat
form Committee, he urged a pro-
gram which will protect the
Nation against subversion and
the Federal employe against un-
Just treatment"
The program, he said, must
be fair to individuals and give
them an opportunity to refute
accusations which may have been
based on malice or false gossip
He added that matters of suit
ability or misconduct which have
no real bearing on national Sc
curity should be separate from
the security program.
He also asked for:
Protection and extension of
the merit system.
Legislation to assure promo
ton solely on the basis of merit
Adequate salary increases for
all Federal and postal employees
Employe-managementre relations
legislation for the Federal serv-
ice.

D. c. Delegates
Are Seen SoIidIy
Booking Nixon

The Districts delegation to
the Republican National Con-
vention will solidly back re-
nomination of Vice President
Nixon at the San Francisco con-
vention, in the opinion of George
L. Hart, jr., delegation chairman
Mr.. Hart said today that 81
personally am for Nixon" and
that. although he hasn't polled
the other five members of the
delegation, he doesn't know any
who are not.
Il think he has done a mag
nificent job" Mr.. Hart said Of
the Vice President.
The delegation head said Dis
trict delegates will seek two
principal things at the conven-
ton: A platform plank advo-
eating District home rule and
national representation and an
increase in the delegation from
6 to 10 members.

years the Democrats are holding
their quadrennial pow-wow in
advance of the Republicans. In
1852. the Democratic assembly
came a full week after the Re-
publican. This year the Repub-
licans open in San Francisco only
two or three days after the DEM
ocrats close in Chicago.
AS for differences in facilities,
the Democrats assert they have
plenty of convenient rooms and
transportation for delegates and
visitors. Republicans. on the
other hand. say they will have
cooler weather and better scenery
on the West Coast despite Lake
Michigan breezes and Chicago's
famed waterfront vistas.
Fewer NOn-DelegateS on Floor
Both conventions, of course,
have much in common in max
ing arrangements and in con-
Quoting sessions. An important
change likely to be noted at both
auditoriums by veterans of pre-
vious conventions is that far
fewer non-delegates will be per-
mitted on the convention floor.
Even the press and TV-radio
people have been greatly re-
stricted as to numbers who can
be working on the floor at any
one time.
San Francisco and Chicago
fire marshalS also have issued
stricter orders than ever against
cluttering up the premises with
papers, placards and other ma
terial that could blaze or OBJ
Struct passages.
This may mean the doom of
the ancient practice of distribut-
ing tons Of campaign literature"
on the seats of delegates and
alternates every day and OF
boarding signs, noise-makers and
other devices under the chairs
in preparation for spontaneous
demonstrations after nominal
ing speeches.

licans will count 437 women
delegates and alternates.
Proportionately, however, the
G.. o. P. distaff delegation
strength is almost the same. The
Republican convention will have
1923 delegates and the same
number of alternates, a max
imum Of 2,646. The Democrats
will have 2,477 delegates and
1850 alternates, a maximum of
4,327.
Woman Is Parliamentarian
A woman, Representative
Katherine st. George of New
York, will serve as Republican
convention parliamentarian
That work will be done at the
Democratic convention. as 1t
has been done for SO years, by
Representative Clarence Cannon
Of Missouri.
Each convention will require
different majority votes to NOM
mate candidate for President
and Vice President-686l2 for
the Democrats and 662 for the
Pepublicans. The weight of the
individual delegate vote and the
job of tallying the totals also
will differ.
The Democrats have an elab-
crate and complicated system of
whole and half votes based to
a considerable extent on the
manner in which the respective
delegates we're chosen in their
home districts or at-large in
their States. Each Republican
delegate will have one vote.
The gathering of 4.327 dele
gates and alternates will make
the Chicago convention the big
gest ever held by the Democrats.
Only the delegates will sit on
the convention floor of the In
ternational Amphitheater. Alter
mates will occupy all except
about 500 of the mezzanine
seats.
The two conventions naturally
will differ in physical surround
lngs from the 1852 layout when
both took place in the mammoth
barn at the Chicago stockyards
Even the Democrats, returning
to the same place after -four
years, will find major changes
and extra comforts in their hal
over the 1852 setup.
Less Spectator Space at Chicago
Spectators will find it consid-
erably harder to get in. Seating
space for visitors will be greatly
limited. not only because of the
mezzanine arrangement for the
alternates. but also because Of
greatly expanded facilities fol
TV-radio and press coverage.
Only about 3,700 balcony anc
mezzanine seats will be avail.
able for spectators. The Repub.
licans have more space for spec.
tators in the Cow Palace which
has no posts or pillars to obstruct
balcony views.

amounted to $12,312.30 while in
Tyrrell, with equal resident popu-

Dare sold more than twice as much

that Dare is a heavily travelled

damage suits in court for extreme
ly large sums of money against
several people. Having no merit,
the cases were thrown out Of court,
but those she had sued were the
losers in time and attorneys fees.
She sued in Superior Court, the

They drove off, by their dis

anything in the state that can do

opposite, and with very good rea-

tachment or setting. Shells thus
provide the young oysters with
homes and help speed their growth
as they are usually free from
growths which impede proper de-
velopment of the bivalve.,
Oysters Do Smother
Once the young oyster or spat
is attached or set, it is no longer
able to move in position and is
subject to movement only by out
side forces, DR.. Chestnut says. If
the bottom is soft mud, the oysters
may smother by sinking into the
bottom. In other areas, the COM
position of the bottom may be
coarse sand which is liable. to
shift with changes in currents or
by wave action and result in
smothering the oysters.
This is what happened to great
extent during the hurricanes of
1854 and 1866. In many areas oys-
ter mortality was greater than SO
percent. In some cases, DR.. Chest
nut found the mortality 100 per-
cent.
Not only did the hurricanes shift
sands or otherwise move oysters
into places where they had little
chance of survival, but the winds
also brought fresh water into
many of the oyster producing
areas. Oysters canot live in fresh
water. They must have salt wa
ter. They must also survive the
attacks of such animals as oyster
drills, crabs and some fishes. In
some areas the attacks of these
animals of the sea are of such
intensity that oysters rarely sur
vive or grow to reach an adult
stage.

LerSs
The seed oyster and shell plant
ing are part of the oyster rehabili-
tation program authorized by the
1947 General Assembly after Gov
ernor R. Gregg Cherry had named
special commission to study
reasons why the production of oys-
tiers was tagging in public waters
of the State.
The dual program is being in
tensified during the administra-
ton of Governor Luther H. Hold
ges.
The first seed oysters were
planted in 1949, with 1911 bush
els Of the bivalve being placed in
selected waters. The next planting
of seed oysters was in 1862 when
7,768 bushels were planted. In
1854 paintings of seed oysters
totaled 1856 bushels and last
year $1,000 bushels were planted.
Since the oyster rehabilitation
program started in 1947 there
have been 783, 059 bushels of shells
in more than so different locali-
ties.
While North Carolina is stepping
up its efforts to give needed help
to its oyster industry, the plant
ings of oyster shells in public wa
ters of this State seem small in
comparison with what Virginia
and Maryland are doing to boost
their oyster production.
A recent report showed, for ex-
ample, that Virginia planted 500,
SAB bushels of oyster shells in
1854 and $4,000 bushels in 1866.
In Maryland 100000 bushels of
shells were planted in 1854 and
100000 last year.
Shells as we'll as seed oysters
are essential in the increased pro-
duction of oysters. The seed oys-
tiers, for example, usually grow to
marketable size within two to
three years if they survive the
storms, hurricanes, and other nat
ural enemies.
The shells actually provide
homes for the tiny oysters or spats
shortly after they are spawned,
usually from midway until Octo-
Der.
DR.. Chestnut says the liberated
spawn, upon fertilization, develops
into microscopic larval oysters
which are capable of swimming
and are passively carried about by
strong currents. For about two
weeks daily changes in develop
ment take place until the larval
oysters reach maturity and then
attach by cementing to suitable
substrata, which may be shell,
rock, wood, metal, glass, rubber,
and other materials. These young
oysters are no larger than a pin
head by the time they become at
tached to a shell or other SUBJ
strata.
The larval oysters that are free
swimming will perish if suitable
material is not available for at

A LONG PLANNED
OYSTER PROJECT
GETS UNDERWAY
Annual Planting Of Seed Oysters
in Eight Counties; Shell
Planting in May.
By. WADE LUCAS

Morehead City. The States
oyster industry, hard hit by the
hurricanes of 1854 and 1866, is
getting a big boost.
This boost is in the form of
planting about 100000 bushels of
seed oysters by the Department
of Conservation and Development
in specially selected waters of
Carteret, Pamlico, Hyde, Dare,
Onslow, Brunswick, Fender, and
New Hanover counties.
The seed oyster planting project
is the largest ever undertaken by
the C & D Departments Division
of Commercial Fisheries in a
single year. Last year $4,000 BUSH
els of seed oysters were planted
. and 1856 bushels the year before.
The seed oysters are being
planted under the personal direc-
ton of DIR. A. F. Chestnut, Direc-
tor of the Institute of Fisheries
Research, "a unit of the University
/, of North Carolina located here.
The first of the seed oysters,
which are dredged by oystermen
from natural rocks at the mouths
of the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers
and up around the Roanoke Sound
area, were planted earlier this
month. If weather conditions re-
ma n favorable and the supply of
seed oysters stays constant the
, program is slated for completion
by early April.
By agreement with C. G. Hol-
land, State Fisheries Commission
er, the oystermen agree to catch
and plant the seed oysters. The
oystermen are paid from % to 33
cents per bushel for the seed oys-
tiers. and they dredge and plant in
waters selected by DR.. Chestnut
and his aides as being the best
suited for propagation of the BIZ
valve.
The seed oyster planting is only
a part of the effort being made to
boost the production of oysters in
the States public waters.
In May the planting of oyster
/. shells will start. Last year some
$4,000 bushels of oyster shells
were planted in areas known to be
good for the propagation of oYs-
