The 1858 Federal Boating Act
is in trouble.
Nearly two years Of study,
hearings, drafting and redraft-
ing of a bill aimed at bringing
our creaking boating laws up
to-date this summer came to a
sudden halt yesterday.
The House Rules Committee
voted against granting a rule
on the bill authored by Repre-
sentative Bonner, North Caro-
line Democrat. who is chairman
of the House Merchant Marine
Committee.
In order to get the bill out Of
the Rules Committee. at least
one member who voted against
it would have to move at the
next committee meeting for re-
consideration. Hill experts say
that rarely happens. The COM
mittee vote was SIS.
81 ***
Boating interests outside of
Congress heard the news with
some diSmay. 1t just didn't
seem possible that the work of
the Bonner Committee was 60
ing to go down the drain.
M. J. Styron, president of the
National Association of Marine
Dealers, said last night that the
Rules Committee action appears
to have been based on a lack
of understanding of the bill
and "its aim of requiring the
periodic numbering of pleasure
craft under IS feet" He ex-
pressed hope that some way
can be found to get this i'm
portant safety legislation 10 the
House floor for consideration
this session."
These also were the senti-
ments of others closely associ-
ated with the Bonner commit
tees work since it began its
well-publicized safety study of
.recreational boating two years
ago.
Opposition to the bill first
cropped up last week when
Representative Graham Bar
den, also of North Carolina,
insisted that the bill had few
safety features in it. He went
back nearly 20 years to the
time when the Coast Guard
arrested and cited a number of
his constituents for violations
Iof certain boating laws then in
existence. His chief objection
was the provision for number
ing boats under IS feet. He
said it would work a hardship
on rivermen and farmers who
travel around in small powered
boats.
Representative Bonner con-
tends that the very act of re-
Iquiring periodic mum b ering
would increase the boat owners

responsibility to abide by laws
and safety requirements.
Yesterday, two other Con-
gressmen who are boat owners,
appeared before the Rules Com
mittee and argued, among other
things. that the Bonner bill
provides that only boats under
l6 feet would have to be num-
bered and pay fees.
That certainly was not the
intent Of the bill. which states
that all undocumented vessels
powered by motor and under IS
feet would be numbered every
three years with reasonable
fees.
The two witnesses were Rep
rcSentatlves Dick Landlord,
Maryland Democrat, and Stuy-
veSant Wainwright. New York
Republican. Lankford is an
Annapolis Yacht Club member.
Wainwright sails an auxiliary
sloop on Long Island Sound.
Representative Wainwright said
he appeared for the Florida
delegation as well as Repre-
sentatives Hosmer of California
and Griffin of Michigan.
He later sent Bonner a let
ter Offering to sit down with
him and write a bill that would
accomplish improved safety on
crowded United States water
ways.
The Bonner committee over a
year ago had concluded the
time was at hand for the Con-
gress to lead the way for the
48 States in updating our boat
ing laws and preventing what
the chairman once called a
Tower of BABEL" in boating
laws,

High water continues TO
hamper stream fishing but
worm anglers are having some
luck.
Charles Moody OF College
Park tossed a worm into mud
dy Rock Creek above viers
Mil and came up with a 23ia-
inch rainbow trout weighing 5
pounds. He took the fish about
6 p. m. on a fiy rod.
Elsewhere the constant rains
have interferred with the ASH
ing but halfway good weather
over the week end might
bring some fair catches.
Charter captains have had
scattered success with hard
head in the mouth OF the Hon.

New beauty will be added to

a finishing touch, he plans to

Does Own Wiring
The Affairs owner does
everything about the boat, in
cluding his own wiring. He has
installed a l10-volt system for
shore hookup and IL and s.
volt lighting and engine sys-

sellers who recondition their
own craft. Some can't afford
the luxury Of high-priced help
and others are merely fasci-
mated by boats. They'll buy a
refueee from Davy Jones locker
and sand, paint, remodel and
repair for months on end. The
boat may never see the water
but what's that to a true boat
lover?
Then there is a group Of
owners. many highly skilled,
who prefer doing their own
work for two reasons. They are
careful and competent and
enjoy doing it.
Refitting Cruiser
Among the later is Phillip G.
Haywood, whose home is at
1910 Exeter road, Bethesda.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haywood and
sons Garry. 10, Herb, 18, and
Tom, IL, own a 39-foot bay
built cruiser they now are re-
fitting.
The boat is at Miller's Boat
yard on the Anacostia River
although 1t normally is berthed
at Annapolis Yacht Club of
which the Haywoods are men,
bers. II brought it here last
fall because it was a chore try
ing to go back and forth to
Annapolis to work on it" Hay
wood says,
When the boat arrived there
was no adequate means Of
hauling it out, but Haywood
found a way. He made a deal
with Merchants Transfer Co.
to supply workmen and a big
crane to lift the cruiser out Of
the water and set it on a stout
wooden cradle.
1t was no mean task because
bay-built boats are hefty. The
craft has a 12-foot beam and
is built mostly of long-leaf
yellow pine and oak. The Ok
12-inch keel and keelson and
the 1l4x8-inch planking are of
pine. while the frames are oak.
Builds Canvas Shelter
When the boat was safely
ashore, Haywood set about
erecting a wood and canvas
shelter over it so that he could
work in any weather.
The owners skill in boat
repairing has a solid back
ground. He was a motor tor
pedo boat repair officer in New
Guinea during World War II.
Haywood's father, Harry A.,
had the boat built at Hooper's
Island in 1910. Stout and
roomy, it sleeps four in the
forward cabin and three more
in the main cabin. There also
is ample room for a galley
and head.
The Affair, named by Hay
woods parents for a star, has
cruised the inland waterway.
They took it to Florida and
used it there for a year. The
boat was turned over to Phillip
about five years ago, but the
father retains his love for the
water. I'VE still call him COM
modore," his son says.

FRIED TROUT WITH
BRAISED SWEET PEPPER
BY EDDIE MEIER

Fingers, rather than a brush,
are preferred by anglers for re-
vanishing those expensive bam-
boo fly or casting rods. When
varnish is spread by finger. the
excesses that occasionally result
from brush application are
avoided. Concentrations Of var
nish can affect the rods action.
Also, the heavier coatings chip
and crack quicker, permitting
damaging moisture to get into
the bamboo.
A combination as famous and
as delicious as liver and onions
or corned beef and cabbage is
fried trout and braised sweet
peppers. Clean and wash your
little beauties, dust with flour
seasoned with salt, pepper and
liberal amount of paprika.
and fry to a golden brown in
equal parts of butter and vege-
table shortening.
For braised sweet peppers.
cut several green peppers into
strips and saute for three or
four minutes in butter. Season
with SAT-, pepper and a few
shakes of garlic salt. add one
teaspoon water for each pepper,
cover and simmer until pep
pers are tender, five or six
minutes.
