COMPACT IS RESULT
Earlier Shots Echoed
In Clustering Death

RICHMOND, April 9 (AP).-
Echoes of the last previous
shots fired in the Maryland
Virginia oyster war reached the
United States Supreme Court
and are still being heard in the
Virginia General Assembly to-
day.
A man named Harvey King OF
Colonial Beach was a princi-
pal target of those earlier shots.
On December 8, 1856. Mr.. King
piloted his boat to Colonial
Beach, with Maryland and Vir-
GINA patrol craft in pursuit.
Mr.. King, a central figure to-
day, is Just one in a long line
of watermen who have figured
in the so-called "oyster wST'
that dates back to the Compact
of 1875. BY that pact. Mary
Landowner Of the Potomac to
the low water mark on the Vir-
GINA side - gave Virginians
equal fishing rights in the
river.
Men have been killed, boats
have been rammed.
Ill will between VirginianS
and Marylanders who harvest
the river and who patrol it fol
lawbreakers has existed fol
decades.
After Mr.. King drove his
boat into Monroe Bay a little
more than two years ago
Maryland abrogated the com
pact and Virginia sued in the
United States Supreme Court
to invalidate Maryland's abro-
CATION.

A lot of Grant District
youths may be able to get out
of correctional institutions be-
cause of a neglected 5-year-old
District Court ruling.
The ruling has come to the
attention of over 10 youths in
Federal Youth Correction Act
institutions and they are begin

for freedom into the Juvenile
Court.
Juvenile Court Judge Orm w

City Heads
Asked toCull
Doiry PorIey

The District Commissioners
today were urged to bring to-
gether all segments of the dairy
industry here to thrash out
proposed changes in milk sani-
tation regulations before the
dispute is taken UP at a public
hearing.
In a letter to the District
heads, william B. Hooper,
general chairman of the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers
Association, suggested that
such a meeting would allow OPP
posing factions to find their
points Of difference.
Mr.. Hooper said the farmers
cooperative sis not opposed to
any beneficial changes" in the
milk regulations as long as the
quality of milk is not impaired
by them.
The Commissioners have in
dicated they win announce the
date of a public hearing on the
milk dispute today.
The coop spokesman said "a
more orderly record" would re-
suit if representatives of all the
diaries and the farmers would
sit down together and outline
technical suggestions in adj
vance of the hearing.
Without this preliminary
move, Mr.. Hooper said later,
the hearing may turn into "a
three ring circus"
Meanwhile, the board of di-
rectors of the Wheaton Cham
Der of Commerce has passed a

Action Due
On Extra Pay
For Coaches

A controversial bill to pro-
vide overtime payments to
athletic coaches and certain
other District high school
teachers is awaiting congress
sional action today.
The proposed legislation was
sent to Capitol Hill yesterday
by the Commissioners. Many
teachers not covered by its pro-
visions have expressed their
opposition. School Supt. Carl
F. Hansen has admitted the
proposal is affecting teacher
morale.
The bill would provide extra
payments totaling $162, 400 q
year. But, according to DR.
Hansen, the net cost to the
schools would be about $140, 900
The difference would be taken
up by the elimination of COM
pensatory time off which the
affected teachers are currently
receiving.
The extra payments would
vary from $500 for coaches Of
major sports to 5000 for dra-
matte coaches, forensic direc.
tors and cadet activity spon.
sors. Other athletic coaches II
major and minor sports woulc
receive payments of either
$500 or $3.50. Music director.
and newspaper and yearbook
advisers would receive $500.
Many teachers feel the legis.
lation would be discriminatory
against those who also spenC
extra time on the job but woulc
not be compensated. They alsC
feel 1t is placing undue empha.
sis on athletics. They poinr
out that it would be possibl,
for some coaches active in TIVE
or three sports to receive owe,
900 extra each year.
DR.. Hansen has said he ia,
vors the bill as educational,
sound. The basic principle O
providing something extra TO,
the affected teachers has al
ready been established with tn,
compensatory time of pro
gram. he maintains. Eliminat
ing this and providing extri
payments instead will provide
more continuity for student
whose instruction often is dis
rupted under the present sys
tenn.

D. c. DeIinquents Find
Legal Escape Clause

their 21st birthdays. He COM
mits many of these cases to
the National Training School
in the District.
The NTS can't hold youths
over ID because it does not have
the room or facilities.
The 70-odd youths already in
the YEA institutions, sent
there from the NTS, probably
will be released unless some
until now unknown loophole
is found, court officials noted.
Mr.. Bennett and the Judge
considered two main choices to
avoid having to free delinquents
who reach 10 in the future.
Both require legislation by
Congress, which would change
the present law and there is
little hope of any action this
session.
They are:
/. Give the Juvenile Court
Judge the power to sentence
youths under the Youth Cor
.rections Act. At present, only
Ia District Court judge can do
this either with boys who have
reached their 18th birthday and
are legally adults who have
been convicted of major crimes
lor juveniles l6 or II waived
from the Juvenile Court who
also have been convicted of
serious offenses. Judge Ketcham
can waive only cases which
would be equal to a serious
charge in the adult court.
2. Give the Bureau of Prisons
power to transfer youths from
the NTS to the YEA institu-
tons, thus multiplying the Dis
ltrict Court ruling which now
bans this.
