Long Il topic OF conversation i'm this
section has been the word "diversifi-
cation of farming and the need for
expanded industrialization. Perhaps
at no other time in the past has this
need been more urgent than today.
The Governor of Florida recently
spoke ON the tremendous forward
strides made by that State and he
gives diversification credit for this
advance.
We think what the Florida Cover

TO reprint here. We think that folks
IN Columbus, Brunswick and Horny

knowledge by studying what the peo-

successful they are. At any rate.

ESAlLFISHING OFF
OREGON INLET Is
GETTING BETTER
More SaiIfish Than White Marlin
Favor Anglers in Gulf
stream Waters
Rv AYCOCK. BROWN

For the first week this summer
more sailfish were taken during
the past week by anglers aboard
Oregon Inlet-based boats than
white marlin.
During a seven day period seven
sails were taken and only five
white marlin were landed during
the same period.
Shippers aboard Oregon Inlet
based boats, however, claim there
are still plenty of white marlin
and also blues, in the waters east
of Mays Head and Oregon Inlet.
"We raise them everytime we
head for the Gulf Stream and
Continental Shelf" said Capt.
Warren Gallop, skipper OF the
cruiser Karen Alton.
On Sunday, Charles Brown OF
Richmond, Va, fishing from the
Karen Alton, hooked and boated a
seven foot white marlin.
eve also hooked two blues but
lost them," said Capt. Gallop.
Fishing with Brown on Sunday
were Joe Brown, Harold Schultz,
]. L. Clayman, Barney Smukals
and Shelly Shapiro, all of Rich
mond. They caught total OF "
dolphin, and from the standpoint
of weather and rough seas, it was
one of the worst days of the sea-
son.
Browns white marlin brought
the total score for the season for
anglers aboard Oregon Inlet Fish
ing boats to more than $50 bill
fish. Most of these were white
marlin, nine were blue marlin
and the remainer sailfish.

HATTERAS YIELDS
2 BLUE MARLIN
IN ONE WEEK
Blue Fish Show Up AIoEg the
Surf. and Many Good
Catches Made at
Cape
By AYCOCK BROWN

Hatteras.-Dr. Benjamin Jones,
Pittsburgh surgeon, skipping bait
from Capt. Edgar Styron's cruiser
Twins II boated 282 pound blue
marlin near the Gulf Stream off
! Hatteras last week end.
1t was the sixth blue of the
season to be landed by anglers
aboard Hatteras-based boats, and
the second taken off this big game
fishing port in less than week.
Al few days previously Charles
McGourkin, Harrisburg, Penna.
had boated a 222-pounder within
% minutes after it hit the bait.
This big fish, also taken from
Styron's Twins II was believed to
be sort of record in taking and
boating a blue marlin, especially
for waters north of Florida.
Each of the blues taken during
the week averaged 10 feet in
length and approximately 48 to 80
inches around their girths.
In addition to the blue marlin
several sailfish have been taken
off Hatteras since August and
a few white marlin have also been
boated.
Capt. Styron, operator of the
Blue Marlin Fishing Docks pre-
diets that blue marlin fishing,
especially for giants of the spe-
cies, will improve during the 'early
autumn. Usually the fish taken
during the Spring or early sum
mer and autumn range from 325
pounds up. The largest taken SO
far off Hatteras this year was a
457 FOUNDER.
Blue fishing has been good in
the surf at Cape Hatteras accord
ing to Dick Lourie of the Buxton
Sportsmans Center, and he had the
fish to prove it.

Nine A-Shots to Be Fired
Before News Observers

| Newsmen assigned to witness
the tests must be representa-
tives Of recognized United

lploying agencies" They must
be United States citizens.
Photographers must submit
their equipment in advance to
be inspected for compliance
with limitations imposed on
lens size and shutter speed.
Acc officials said the focal
length OF lenses will be limited
to 7 inches on 8-mm. cameras,
IA inches in l6-mm.. % inches
on 35-mm. and 40 inches on
4-by-5 and larger cameras.
Those are comparatively long

The obvious aim is to bar out
size closeups that might disclose
more about the blasts than the
Acc wants generally known.
The shutter speed limitation
applies only on movie cameras,

Hope for
Disability Bill

Speaker Rayburn said today
that President Eisenhower's re-

chance of congressional approval
this year. He used that phrase
retirement bill" In referring
TO Mr.. Eisenhower's proposal for
a constitutional amendment deal
ing with executive action in
event of presidential disability
Mr.. Rayburn did not explain
what the retirement" might
imply in connection with Mr.
Eisenhower's recommendation
He indicated. however, that Con-
gress is unlikely to do anything
at this session on the long-range
problem OF presidential disability
The subject came up while the
Speaker was telling reporters
at the Capitol that. contrary to
some newspaper accounts and
political speeches. the present
Congress has not begged down
or become. a do-nothing or OBJ
structive body.
