Plan Offered
To Enforce
Bilge Law

ANNAPOLIS, July Z (R.-
Senator Louis N. Phipps. Demo-
crat of Anne Arundel, has Of
fered a solution to the prob
lem of enforcing the law
against discharging oily bilge
into Chesapeake Bay.
Seal the bilge pumps when
ships arrive in the bay and in
spect the seals Just before the
ships leave" Senator Phipps
said. 1.-The seals should not be
broken except in a proven
emergency"
The veteran Democrat made
his suggestion yesterday after
criticiziing the State Health
Department, the Department
of Tidewater Fisheries, "the
so-called Pollution Commits
Sion," and shipping and busi-
ness interests which he said
have failed to support effective
legislation against bilge in the
bay.
The most recent violation of
bilge pumping was reported on
the Fourth of July when dead
fish and thick black oil ruined
bathing on many Anne Arundel
County beaches on the bay be-
tween the Magothy and Pataps-
co rivers.
The maximum penalty for
discharging bilge in the port of
Baltimore and the bay Is a
$2,500 fine. But the Coast
Guard captain Of the port has
said violations at night are
practically impossible to check.
Senator Phipps co-sponsored
an unsuccessful bill in the
Legislature last year which
would have required pilots to
inspect ships bilges on arrival
in Chesapeake Bay and again
Just before departure.
THE pilots said the bill was
Impractical" Senator Phipps
said. Il say inspecting and
sealing the bilges is practical
the only practical solution to
this problem"

Prospects Dim
On Home Rule
Kurrick Sees Bill
Dead This Session

Prospects for home rule for
the District in this session OF
Congress are not good. Com
missioner David B. Karrick said
yesterday.
Mr.. Karrick differed with his
colleague, Commissioner Rob-
ert E. Mclaughlin, on the ques-
ton during the "City Side
program on Television Station
WTOP. Mr.. Mclaughlin said he
believed passage of the Alaska
statehood bill indicates a
change in attitude of Congress
enhancing District home rule
chances.
II don't see any analogy be-
tween the two," said Mr.. Kar-
rick. He said the home rule bill
now before Congress doesn't
have ANY better chance thar
last year."
"The bill is good" Mr.. Kar-
rick said, but "the chances are
bad"
/ The bill would give Washing
ton a territorial form of gov
ernment similar to what Alaska
had, he said.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, Mr.. Karrick
and Col. A. c. yelling, the
Engineer Commissioner, de-
Tended the practice of holding
Board Of Commissioners meet
ings in secret.
AIr. Karrick said there are
times when he feels like call
ing somebody something" He
said he would prefer to do it
behind closed doors.
If all regular meetings were
kept open to the press, he said,
it would serve as window
dressing" only, because the
Commissioners would then have
to conduct much business pri-
vately after hours in one an
others homes. He said the
most important thing was to
keep the public informed OF
! the results of all board meet
lngs. rather than the discus
sions themselves. But he said
he hopes as many meetings as
possible can be kept open.
On another television pro-
gram. WMAL's Celebrity Pa

discussed the proposal of Dis
trict Budget Officer Walter
Fowler that Congress appropri-
ate District funds from the
general Treasury fund instead
! of from District tax revenues

lTanocrat of Maryland, said
such a plan would in effect kill
chances of home rule for the
District, making the District
more like a department of the

ernment.
