He said IL should be turned

operation in conjunction with

the county retaining the taxing
powers on National Airport.
Terms Held Crux
Senator Fenwick cited a re-
cent report by the Northern
Virginia Regional Planning
Commission that the area
would go in the hole financially
by trying to take over National
Airport and any supplemental
airport built In the area.
ITS all q question of what
are the terms under which
you (Arlington) can acquire 1t
tNational Airport" Senator
Fenwick said. He said the
purchase price and interest
rates are an important factor
in deciding the issue.
Mr.. Krupsaw called on Sena-
tor Fenwick to "join in the
battle for promoting Airing

ties Of Virginia.
Its Arlington that needs

help" he said. I'm afraid
Senator Fenwick forgets he's
from Arlington"
Arlington is interested In
acquiring National Airport for
its contribution to the county's
economy and tax base. Mr..
Krupsaw said. He said Sena-
tor Fenwick's proposal would
have the revenue distributed
throughout Virginia.

Defense Buses
,..auI $1,000

An average Of $500 Defense
Department employees travel
back and forth between differ
ent military offices and agen-
.cies in the District area on Of
fetal business each month.
This was brought out yester-
day in q hearing at the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The d. c. Transit System has
the contract to operate the six
lines. The main one operates
from the Navy Annex via the
Pentagon and the Main Navy
building to Capitol Hill. over
which an average Of $1,000
passengers are hauled monthly.
The testimony was at q
hearing before q board COM
posed Of officials from regu-
latory bodies In the District,
Maryland and Virginia and
ICC examiner Allen Hagerty.
Contract at Issue
The transit Arm has q tenn
porary permit for Government
contract operations and seeks
permanent authority for it.
This is being fought by seven
bus companies in the area.
The Defense Department de-
clined to take a position in the
argument between the carriers
whether 1t should be Of the
contract or common type. But
the Department said that. in
the absence Of such service, II
might be necessary to return
to the use Of Government
owned vehicles-a practice
abandoned several years ago.
Thomas c. Embrey. deputy
director Of facilities and serv-
ices. said the service is neces-
sary Gin order that the Depart
ment Of Defense may efficiently
and economically carry out its
missions" He added that II
would be "unduly costly" TO use
regular scheduled service on
an individual fare basis.

Abundance Of Large

sion uncovered some of the larg-
est sunfishes yet observed along
the Potomac.
BIuegills up to ten inches and
yellowbelly sunfish up to nine
inches were examined for length,
weight, age and comparison of
the growth rate with other areas
Of the river basin. All panfish
examined showed fair growth
rates and were in prime condition
indicating an abundance of food.
An increase in the quantity Of
fish food organisms above the
Falls is associated with an in
crease in aquatic plants which in
crease the carrying capacity of
certain species of insect life and
minute fresh water shrimp"
Examination of sunfishes re-
vealed that many were spawning
for the second and third time this
season. The great fecundity Of
these species often results in
stunting from overcrowding and
anglers should harvest as many
panfish as possible to help balance
the fish population.
Albert E. Sanderson, Commits
sion Fishery Biologist, stationed
at Beaver Creek Fish Hatchery,
near Hagerstown says, Hun
dreds of sunfishes, catfishes and
smallmouth bass have been
tagged and released in the Poto-
mac at Great Falls, Violet's Lock
below Seneca, and in the vicinity
of Edwards Ferry.
Anglers are asked to cooperate
in the Commissions research pro.
gram by looking for numbered
tags in the lower jaw of fish
caught. Tags with information
on the species, date caught, loca-
ton, length, and weight if posi-.
BILE, should be forwarded to the
nearest District Game Warden.
This information is necessary to
enable us to determine the migra.

harvestable size fish"

take the Rockville Midget league
championship. st. Mary's would
have tied for first had they won
the game.
Going all the way on the mound
for the Merchants was Billy
Schwartzbeck. Billy allowed two
hits and four runs. The loser,
Walter Masterson, allowed nine

runs acquired by the losers were
unearned.
Jerry Miller belted a three-run

game ended the way it did. Bill
Schwartzbeck has an average OF
II strike-outs per game. He has
a .075 earned run average in seven
