visited Ocean City, Md.
Jack. a member of the Ocean
City Light Tackle Club. likes
every kind Of salt water fishing
from kingflsh to bluef1n tuna,
which he caught of Hatteras
in March. But he is partial TO
surf fishing and knows just
about every trick.
Prefers CaIcuttas
Jack scorns, for instance, the
factory-made surf rods and
prefers his own simple Calcut-
tas. He also disproves surf
spinning gear except for squid-
ding casting metal lures be-
yond the breakers for striped
bass. blues or other game fish,
We stayed overnight in
Ocean City and armed with
salt mullet, shrimp and clam
necks for bait, arrived at the
Assateague ferry terminal well
before departure time of 8 am.
To. our, surprise, more fisher
mems cars were on hand than
the hat-bottomed ferry could
handle and We had to wait for
q second trip.
On the long, lonely island a
thick fog had settled and the
chill bore through our heavy
clothing. We donned boots and
tried the breakers at a likely
spot on Fox Hill Levels, but
there was no action, so we
moved up the island past the
old Coast Guard station.
Collect TautOg Bait
There it wasn't much better
and after several hours we had
landed only two blowfish and
one fair-sized founder. Before
departing, We collected several
dozen sand fieas at high-water
mark and put them in a con-
tainer as tautog bait. On the
way we spoke to several fish,
ermen, but not one had
beached a fish.
Next morning we we're up
early to try the flood tide for
tautog. New Englanders, espe-
cially. are familiar with black
fish or tautog for they arrive
ct apple blossom time and hang
around the rocky shores to fur
nish sport for young and old.
The world record fish, which
weighed Il pounds 6 ounces,
was caught of Cape May, N. j.
At Ocean City many had
been reported taken of the
rocks which border the inlet.
Here we tried but again were
luckless, as were other fisher
men that morning.
Try Founder Fishing
AS a last resort, we went
founder fishing. We had heard
that 3 and 4-pound founders
had been taken in the inlet
and bay and we we're deter
mined to catch fish.
We rented a good-sized boat
and. with Jacks 5-horsepower
cupboard to power it, set off
Our bait was minnows, killiflsh
or mummichogs. We used light
spinning rods and first tired
bucktails baited with minnows
Later we switched to plain

SURF FISHING SLOW
Ocean City Visitors
Find Founders Best
BY CHARLES COvELL
Outdoor Editor

Come spring and its first warm days. surf anglers
grow restless They think of the Joy of Bleaching a
channel bass, perhaps and forget there is such a
thing as rushing the season.

There are at least two
theories as TO why Chesapeake
Bay fishing. particularly for
hardheads, has been OF 10 such
a slow start this season.
One Is the tremendous
amount Of fresh water In ches-
apeake Bay. the other the
temperature Of the water.
Biologists az Maryland's ma
rine laboratory at Solomons Is
land say that fresh water from
the heavy spring runoffs In trib-
utary streams has lowered the
normal salinity Of Chesapeake
Bay considerably.
DIR. l.. Eugene Cronin, labor
atory director, points out that
the usual salinity at Solomons
Island is about IL parts Of salt
10 1000 parts Of water Now
II has dropped TO about 6 parts
Of salt. The whole head OF the
bay is fresh water. DR.. cronin
added.
Winter SHOWS and spring
rains were heavy and the rivers
have poured vast quantities Of
fresh water into the Chesa-
peake. The Susquehanna con-
tributes SO per cent, the Po-
tomac, 20 per cent. and the
Patuxent, 5 per cent.
Esa
The biologists say the heavy
runoffs shift the normal spawn
ing areas Of migratory fish
downstream. One oddity was
noted in an April trawl survey
of Colchester Beach when cat
fish. normally not found in the
area, we're melted.
High salinity during last sum-
mer's long dry spell was held
responsible for many unusual
ocean species travelling up the
bay. Therefore. hackers of the
theory feel the low salinity may
have an opposite effect and
make the annual visits of mi
gratory fish tardy this year.

Public Transportation

The proposed abandonment of Bluffton's only
rail passenger service eastbound and one west
bound train day on the Nickel Plate railroad will
certainly play hob with public transportation in this
community. If these runs are eliminated the only
of getting into out of town by public con-
veyance will be by Greyhound bus-two northbound
and three southbound buses day.
Time was when the proposed loss of rail passen-
ger service would have created minor revolution
in Bluffton any town along the line The fact that
not lip moved in protest until the railroad union
representatives sounded the call, is commentary
the times.
The truth of the matter is that few Bluffton
people or their visiting friends relatives depend
upon public transportation. They drive one of the
family cars. Those who compelled to depend upon
train or bus however suffer real hardship But these
are few in number they do not protest loudly and
thus it remains for persons more virtually affected to
raise what rumpus will be raised.
1t seems typical of the times to have the labor
union blame management for breakdown OF the
system which once flourshed and profited and it is
Just as typical for management to blame failure upon
incessant demands of labor which priced the service
product out of the market.
1t would seem strange to hear either group use
the work I'VE" in mention of shortcomings, but then
perhaps the real "culprit" is simply changing times
and preference for the private car which goes ana

AN AUTO TRIP

The countryman feels he can
not let the season become history
without offering advice to his
peers on a subject which is be-
coming increasingly important.
According to news item, some
80 million Americans will take
auto trips this year. Some will
take short trips; some will take
touring trips of a fortnight or
more. The countryman who has
experienced both, wishes to help
his fellow man.
The first advice is for males
who are impatient at the amount
of luggage the women folks
deem necessary. There is no
point in arguing. A woman will
take more clothes than she needs
and man cannot change this
feminine determination. Further
more, if you value peace of
mind, SIMPLY take along ev-
erything you have that is not fas-
tened down. In general, one
should leave the freezer, refrig-
orator, stove and power lawn
mower at home. But otherwise,
the sensible attitude is to accept
the fact that all other possessions
should 60 in case you need them.
With that basic philosophy, the
next point is for the women to
clean out the bedroom closets

If approved it would cost proper

provide more than enough to

its first journey at approximately

Mrs. Schroll said this was the

American Prospector Wins $81,5OO Damages From
 Canadian Helic0pter Firm

OTTAWA, D. Wendell DaW- son of Kirkland, Wash, won a suit in the Supreme Court of Canada yesterday for breach-of- contract damages against Heli- copter Exploration Co.,, Ltd, of Vancouver. He was awarded $81, 500 on his claim for $369,450.
 Dawson sued over a mining claim in the Leduc area of north ern British Columbia. The high court threw out a claim by Heli- copter Exploration that damages be restricted to $15,675.
 Dawson staked a Leduc claim in 1881 and then let it drop. He contracted with Helicopter in 1851 to fly him into the area, where he would locate lead and copper deposits in return for a 10 per cent non-aSsessable inter est and 10 per cent sales interest.
 The company repudiated the contract in June and in August flew in a party that staked claims in Dawson's area.

Dodger Catcher
 Breaks His Neck In Auto Accident

GLEN COVE, N.Y., R - Roy Campanella, Los Angeles Dodgers catcher who broke his neck in an automobile accident, was describ- ed today as somewhat better and the overall picture is encourag- ing"
 Those words came from Dr. Robert Sengstaken who perform ed four-hour, 20 minute oper- ation yesterday.
 The mighty Negro ball player still was paralyzed from the shoulder down, but this condi- ton was expected to improve.
 There seemed little prospect, however, he would swing a bat or don mask again in major league competition.
 ''It could take anything from two months to years before he even walks again. said Dr. Seng- staken, who headed the seven man team that performed the op- eration.
 ''He won't be able to play be- fore year, and in my opinion, he would be foolish if he con- tinued playing baseball"
 The physician explained Cam panella suffered fracture and dislocation of the fifth and sixth vertebrae
 If the fracture had been an inch or two higher, Dr. Sengs- taken added, Campanella would not have pulled through.
 At 36, it is extremely doubt full Campanella could return to the Dodgers as a first-string per former. He has fared poorly the past two, years and many observ- CTS thought his age was catching up with him.
 Dodger President Walter O'Malley refused even to discuss the possibility of acquiring new catcher.

Statehood Would Erase Charge of
 CoIonialism In Alaska and Hawaii

WASHINGTON, lR - State hood for Alaska and Hawaii will do more to win the United States overseas friends than tardy satel- lites and intercontinental missiles, Sen. Church D-Idaho) said today.
 He made the statement in a letter to Sen. Johnson of xas. the Senate Democratic lead& He asked the statehood bills be given the Thigh est priority at this session of Congress.
 Church compared the expected reaction to statehood for Alaska and Hawaii in the Far East with that which resulted from the grant of independence to the Philippines.
 'The enthusiasm engendered toward America was spontaneous, genuine and widespread" he said. Nothing we have done since the war contributed so much to Am erican stature in the Orient"
 The Idaho senator said a grant of statehood to Alaska and Ha- waii would end that subordinate relationship to the United States which causes world opinion to re- gard both territories as akin to colonies"

D-Year-Old Kill-Crazy Youth and
 IA Year Old Girl Friend Sought
 In Nebraska For ( Brutal Killings

BENNETT, Neb., lR-Six brutal unexplained killings - spaced in threes and discovered in a span of "A hours-spurred an intensive search today for a 19-year- old youth described as kill crazy and his 14-year-old girl friend.
 Although both were charged with murder today the urgency of the search was heightened by the fear that Starkweather may even have killed his girl friend, bringing the death toll of the crazed killer to seven.
 Starkweather is a green-eyed, red-haired 140-pounder about feet inches tall, who walks with a swagger. He is known to be an expert hunter and a crack shot. Caril Fugate, IA, is about 5 feet one inch tall, looks about IS.
