Eisenhower Will Meet With Mexico's New
 President At Acapulco

WASHINGTON, lR - President Eisenhower will spend the night of February Is at Bergstrom Air Force Base, Austin, Tex, enroute to Acapulco, Mexico, for talks with Mexico's new president.
 In announcing this today, the White House said the President has no plans to visit Mrs. Eisen- hover in San Antonio, Tex, or elsewhere on the trip to and from Acapulco. This statement was prompted by reports in San Anto- nio that the Eisenhowers would rendezvous there - the city of their courtship.
 Mrs. Eisenhower is now in San Antonio visiting friends before going out to Phoenix, Ariz., for a tWo-Weeks vacation at a health and beauty resort.
 Eisenhower will be the guest of Mexico's President Adolfo Lopez Mateos at Acapulco, February 19 and 20

Canadian Pilot
 Relates Misleading By Russ Signals

SARNIA, Ont, R - A former Royal Canadian Air Force ferry pilot said today his Sabre Jet and three others were almost diverted into a North Atlantic grave 212 years ago by a radio signal ap- parently coming from a Soviet ship.
 The pilot, Kenneth ". Hagerty of Sarnia, said he was at the con- trols of one of the planes follow ing a radio beam into Kinloss, Scotland, when a new and strong CT radio signal was superimpoSed the beam.
 The signal came from a different direction, he said, and nearly sent the whole flight winging north into the Arctic.
 The Sabres are short-range planes and transatlantic flights are worked out carefully.
 The Sabres did not alter course and were able to distinguish enough of the Kinloss signal to complete the e flight without trouble, he said, and the pilots were told not to mention the in cident.
 Hagarty said it was overcast and the pilots could see nothing below, but the Royal Air Force later sent out scout planes and sighted what they described as foreign" sn:ps in the area.

Legislature Tries To Get Quick Pay For Staff

JUNEAU, lR - Quick House action, and possibly a court test, appeared in prospect in an at tempt to get pay checks to the Legislatures 43 payless staff en- ployes.
 Unlike the 60 legislators, who each got new $680 vouchers We'd nesday to cover their expense al loWances the sessions first IT days, the staff workers went through another day with no money. The legislators are ex- pected to get their first $25O monthly pay checks later in the month.
 The two bills aimed at paying the clerks, secretaries and other staff employees were transmitted to the House from the Senate Wednesday after the Senate, which passed them Tuesday, had re- viewed them. One is an appropria- tion bill; the other sets the pay scales.

There1l be a light spinning

trolls the grass beds in the
coves and along the shores. Be-
sides tipping his lures with
blood worms, Ed has his own
method of tying a tandem rig
Ed ties a 24-inch section OF
Imonofllament to a swivel, then
an l8-inch section to the same
swivel. He attaches a bucktail
to one and a No. IA Tony Ac-
cetta spoon to the other. You
would think they would tangle
in trolling but ride remarkably
well.
In tying on lures Ed uses a
bowline instead of the accepted
'cinch knot. The bowline makes
a non-slip loop that he feels
doesn't interfere with the ma
tural action of the bait.
Rock Found on Bars
We'll try this bar first" Ed
said one quiet morning after
he had pounded on the door OF
our borrowed houSeboat before
dawn to take us fishing.
The bar to which he referred
was marked by three little sap
lings stuck into the creek bot
tom between Clayton's Marina
and Schedules Fishing Center
The creek was a placid green
without a ripple and with nc
hint of rockfish.
We trolled past the bar and

than anything else we wet our
hand before handling a fish to
be released. Once upon q time
we were told to do this to avoid
removing the slime that is a
fish's natural protection against
parasites.
Biologists fail to agree on the
matter. so the wetting Of the
hand is optional.
Look for Bigger Fish
After a half dozen more OF
the little rockfish snapped up
our lures, Ed said Lets try an
other spot. They travel in
schools and we may hit bigger
fish"
That seemed reasonable so we
headed past Davis Pier to the
creek mouth where we trolled
close to some rowboats an
ehored along the shore.
Action was again immediate,
the rockfish gobbling the buck
tails or spoons as rapidly as we
threw out. Unfortunately. the
fish were even smaller than
those we had caught UP the
creek, but it was tremendous
sport on light tackle.
A few minutes Of this and
we headed across the creek to
a spot that appropriately bears
the name Of Rockf1sh Cove.
The little fish were there. too,
and frequently we would have
doubles to bring in, not an easy
job on spinning tackle. OF a
sudden, Ed got a solid strike.

Here's Secret of Rockfishing in Smiths Creek:
Try Using BucktoiIs Tipped With Worms
BY CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

Why there are so many
ways to catch the same
fish Is something well
never understand. Fre-
quently what works Won
derfully in one place is
frowned on a few miles away.
It just won't take many, If any,
fish.
We're referring to rocktish or
striped bass. The same rock
that roam Chesapeake Bay
travel to New England. There
q favorite trolling rig is a big
COB of sand worms fastened to
tandem hooks behind a spinner.
Down here we've never seen
1t tried, possibly because sand
worms are short-lived and
couldn't stand shipment. We
use the much smaller blood
worms and at 10 cents to a dol
lar per dozen the cost would be
too high.
In New England they don't
drift live eels for rockfish.
They troll eel skins, mounted
on q jig-like head and inflated
by water pressure. Same nat
ural rockfish food but entirely
different methods.
Contrasts Found on Bay
But you don't have to go so
far afield for contrasts. A yell
low bucktail with yellow pork
rind that will take fish of Sol
onions Island may be useless in
Herring Bay. There the rock
want q gold spoon. Resembles
something they're feeding on.
No wonder the average fisher
mans tackle box presents such
a weird and wonderful array.
Down on Smiths Greek Ed
Haskins Il an example. Ed has
his own method and 1t works.
He tips ordinary bucktail lures
and small spoons with q bit Of
blood worm and catches rock
fish by the dozen.
Suspecting that this was un-
necessary frosting, like the olive
in a martini we tried a gold
headed bucktail with strip Of
pork rind that we know would
catch fish only a few miles up
the Potomac. The rockfish
scorned it. The spoiled brats
wanted their snack.
Trolls Smiths Greek
Haskins is a retired Navy
chief petty officer. He lives in
a trailer on property he owns
at Wynne, Nd. within splitting
distance of Smiths Greek.
When he's not puttering with
his property, Ed likes to fish,
He doesn't bother with the
charter boats that go out for
hardhead, trout or rock. but
trolls Smiths Greek from his
own little skiff.
In the winter Haskins and
his wife attach the family car
to the trailer and head for
Flanningo, Stuart, Fort Myers,
the Keys or any other place in
Florida he thinks the fish may
be biting.
But at this time of year you
often can find him putt-putting
in the early morning or late
afternoon in and out, Of the
coves along both shores of
Smiths Greek near4its junction
with the Potomac. You'll recog-
nize him by his habit Of stand
ing on the stern of the shallow
rowboat while he steers the

2 Agencies
Moy Resign
From UGF

Two local health agencies are
considering leaving the United
Givers Fund,
Spokesman for the D. c.

ciety of Metropolitan Washing
ton said there is a possibility
that they will join the Federal
Service Campaign for National
Health Agencies instead Of
continuing with UGF.
The heart of the trouble, they
conceded, is pressure from their
national organizations which
are prohibited from taking part
in the Federal Service Health
Campaign here.
The two national groups have
asked for the change and at
least limited at the possibility
OF establishing new affiliates
here working with the Federal
Service Campaign.
G. Rowland Shaw, president
OF the District Mental Health
Association. declared today
that his group is a popular
agency and wants to expand
its services. He said his board
is considering the problem
and much may hinge on
whether or not UGF will agree
to an expanded program.
The board of the Prevention
OF Blindness Society met yes
terday and heard discussion
by a committee studying the
problem. 1t took no action,
however.
The group was able, however,
for the first time to allocate
$1,000 to its national organi-
cation because it was one OF
seven agencies to be overdesig.
mated. 1t will receive $l2,788
instead Of $10,500 from UGF.
