Big Rock on the Hill;
Bottom Fishing Ending

Except for trout and blueflsh
on the Middle Grounds of
Point Lookout, bottom fishing
in Chesapeake Bay is about
done for this season.
What the northeast winds
will do to the tr ut and blues
is anybody'S guess, but up to
the onset of bad weather, boats
out of Smiths Greek were max
ing good catches.
Capt. Andy Scheible reports
large schools of small rockfish
| in the Point Lookout area but
only about half are keepers. AL
head boat operations have been
discontinued.
Best rockfishing reports come
from Bloody Point. Boats out
of Eastern Bay and Chesapeake
Beach were getting up to a
dozen limit-sized fish trolling
The Hill. Chesapeake Beach
boats also had been getting Is
to Is medium sized rock and
small blues cumming the
Sharp's Island-Stone Rock area
with soft clans.
For the bottom fisherman,
only a few perch remain in
Eastern Bay.
Tilghman Island boats also
have been cumming the Stone
Rock and Sharp's Island and
making fair catches of rockf1sh
in the mouth of the Choptank
Down at Solomons there are

with Mitchell reel. Others on
our team used similar tackle.
For bait we were well
equipped with shedder crab,
preserved mullet and shrimp.
Best bait to our experience was
the shrimp, although a piece of
cut mullet did produce a big
founder or more properly,
Ifluke.
Trick of surf fishing is to find
the sloughs or deep holes carved
by the breakers in which the
fish are feeding.
Soon after the starting smoke
bomb, Nagle caught a 10-inch
baby black drum to begin the
scoring, but from then on moth
ing seemed to bite except un-
dersized drum and founder
The afternoon produced one
more scoring fish and we fin
ished that miserable day with
only A points.
Jersey Anglers Lead
None Of the teams had done
well, but the Jersey boys were
leading. The South Jersey An
glers' Club from Margate City
had 20 points and the New
Jersey Beach Buggy Associa-
ton from Island Beach, 10.
Next day was much better
Scudding gray clouds were re-
duced to patches and the sun
'shone warm. T
First fish was a big croaker,
which went for a chunk of crab
on our calcutta. After that we
caught little drum, founder and
surprisingly, pompano, obvious
ly wanderers from the Gulf
Stream.
That afternoon our section
of beach was occupied by net
tiers who launched a dory peril
ously in the surf and with out
board motor drew a seine tight
around fish far beyond the
breakers. When part of the net
was drawn ashore by a winch
aboard a truck, we saw it was
full of 2-pound blues, so we
set to casting Hopkins lures.
Not a blue would bite so we
went back to bait and finished
the day with II fish. That end
ed the team competition and
we wound up with 40 points,
good for a seventh-place tie
with the Penn Mutual Anglers
from Philadelphia.
Winner was the Beach Buggy
Association and second, the Is
Sons of the Beaches from At
lantic City. They received
handsome trophies at the con-
Guiding banquet while rods and
reels went to runners-up.
In the individual competition

All fishing had to be between
markers set up on the beach

at one time, the sixth being an
alternate. Minimum lengths
were established for various
species and points awarded ac-
cording to size.
Beach Buggy valuable
Surf anglers being what they
are, we piled into Ryders' beach
buggy that morning and headed
for our position. JeepS with
oversize tires, they are the an

Rod holders are mounted on
the front bumper or on top.

beach buggies plough uncon-

abandon. They say the first

merely terrifying. After that

Los Angeles Residents Evicted To Make Way For New Dodgers Stadium

LOS ANGELES, LR - There was no joy in Chavez Ravine Sat- turday - just the sound of bull dozers clearing the site for the Los Angeles Dodgers new ball. park.
 Fifteen residents were evicted amid screaming, crying and CUTS ing Friday.
 "Why don't they play ball in Mayor Poulson's packard - not in ours!" Mrs. Abrana Arechiga, 63, shouted in Spanish at IA sher- ifs deputies.
 Poulson supported the stadium deal
 The mayors office said the home was condemned years ago, before the Dodgers came to town. The land was taken under emil nent domain powers as a site for a housing development which nev- CT came about. The sale to the Dodgers came after the housing plan had been scrapped.

Rhodes Scholarships Are Offered To Paragons Of Alaskan Youth

Alaska will this year nominate two candidates for Rhodes schol- arships to Oxford University. Dr. Courtney Smith, president of Swarthmore College and American secretary of the Rhodes Scholar ships, last week announced that the 18th state will be included in the 1859 competitions. Alaskan candidates for Rhodes scholarships will compete with candidates from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon tana, Wyoming and North Dakota.
 Humanitarian Cecil Rhodes, who stated terms of the scholar ships in his will, planned a basis for the selection of scholars that was rigorous and far-sighted. Candidates must, in the first place, exhibit outstanding academic abil- tiles. Rhodes flatly stated that he was not interested in the 'sbook- worm" He trusted the selection committees to recognize genuine ability rather than, as an earlier American secretary wrote, indus trious mediocrity"
 A Rhodes Scholar must have qualities of manhood, truthful ness, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfish- ness, and fellowship. Further, he must exhibit moral force of char acter and instincts to lead and to take an. interest in his fellow men. Rhodes was seeking scholars who rather than their own special, would be interested in public, welfare.
 Qualified candidates who wish to compete for the Rhodes Schol- arship in Alaska should address their inquiries to MT. Elmer Ed win Rasmuson, National Bank of Alaska, Anchorage. Applications are. due on or before November 4, 1859. The thirty-tWo Rhodes schol- ars elected in December, 1859, will enter Oxford University, England, in October, 1860.

Japan Asks Russian OK On N. Pacific Fish Limits

TOKYO, tR - Japan repopfedty has asked for a Russian agree ment 10 it's proposal that Japan's salmon catches in the Northern Pacific be set at 9O,O0O tons this year and 8O,000 tons in 1860.
 The request is said to have been made by Prime Minister No busuke Kishi to Nikolai Fedor- enko, Russian Ambassador to Japan.
 Japan earlier asked Russia to agree to limit Japanese hauls in the waters jointly governed by Russia and Japan, to 10000 tons this year. However, Russia has in sisted the quotas be set at 10000 tons.
 Japan quotas were set at 120,000 tons in 1856 and 10000 tons in 1858.

Siberian Russia Population Increases As SOviets Seek To IndustrialiZe Asia

MOSCOW, R - The Soviet Unions first census in 20 years discloses a huge increase of popu- lation in the Urals, eastern Siberia and central Asia.
 The increases reflect the deter mined effort to transfer part of the Soviet population to eastern parts of the country and indus trialize those areas. These parts have been thinly populated com pared to neighboring Red China. The census report did not give totals on the shift to the east. But it said the population in the Urals - which might be compared geo. graphically to the Middle West of the United States = had increased 32 per cent since 1889.
 Western Siberia's is up "A per cent, eastern Siberia 34 and the population of the far eastern pro- vinces has boomed 70 per cent.
 The Soviet Unions population was reported at 2O8,8OO,0O0, an increase of 18,OOO,OOO since the last census in 1889. By compari- son, the United States population is estimated at 75,600,O00, or 2412 million more than the last national census in 1850.

Truman Lauded
 As Great Man,
 On 18th Birthday

NEW YORK, H1 - The nation saluted Harry s. Truman on his 18th birthday Friday night.
 It was a coast-to-coast party where the fast-stepping little man from Missouri heard himself de- scribed as a man who grew to greatness.
 The tributes came from Demo- crats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, the great, the not-great, friends, family and old rivals. There was song and laughter
 When it was all over, the usually voluble Truman admitted he was at loss for words. "I don't know what there is to say," he said. "No man in my recollection has had treat such as you have given me tonight. I can't talk politics under circumstances like this. l will always remember"
 His birthday party was marked by 66 parties in cities across the country. Sixteen of them were linked by closed circuit television.
 Here in New York, House Speaker Sam Rayburn told him Harry, history is going to forget the few times that you have not taken dead aim, but have shot from the hip. They are going to remember you for the great things you have done"
 One of the most dramatic mo- ments came when Eleanor RooSe- welt described the April day in 1945 when she told Vice President Truman that President Roosevelt was dead. Of Truman she said:
 ''The character of my friend was proven on that terrible day. He was frightened - as he should have been. For no man had ever been placed so abruptly in such a seat of responsibility.
 And yet there was never in him the slightest hint that he would try to evade what fate had thrust upon him. I knew then he was a good man. Later I thrilled to watch him grow to greatness" ]" In Chicago Adlai Stevenson urged Democrats to remember ''that we will continue to serve our nation only if we remain as perpetually young and helpful, as open to new ideas, and as eager for new initiatives, as faithful and fearless, as modest and as proud, above all, as human and as free as Harry Truman"
 Throughout it all Truman sat in the chair of honor on the flower-decked dais of the Waldorf Astoria's Grand Ballroom.
