David Scull, Montgomery
County Republican chairman
today confirmed reports that
he will resign the chairmanshir
soon after Tuesdays election.
He advised members of the

at q closed meeting last week
Of his plans.
II can't deny it," he said
II had planned to make this
announcement at our victory

emily has leaked out"
Mr.. Scull was elected to a
four-year term on the Repuh-
lican committee in the 1853
primary when the United Re-
publican Committee. which he
organized, captured party con-
troll from veteran Republican
leaders.
He said his successor will be

A third group called Citizens
for Beck-James-Or Orleans was
formed last week. Each of the
three has disclaimed support of
the other two.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Orleans and
Mr.. James issued statements
saying they do not reject the
support of any voter In the
election.
They said a headline in The
Star last Tuesday incorrectly
suggested that they disavow
the support Of the Citizens for
Beck-James-Orleans.
Mrs. Orleans said she accepts
the groups Endorsement and
welcomes their support. In so
doing, she reaffirmed her posi-
ton as an independent candi-
date.
Mrs. Orleans also declined to
support or indorse any other
candidate. She said it is ner
belief that to do so would vlo-
late the nonpartisan character
Of the school board election.
Mr.. James said that he and
Mr.. Humphrey have from the
beginning of the campaign had
the invaluable support of the
Council for Better Education.
Each Of us has, in his own way,
sought to give voice to the
often inarticulate people of this
country who seek improvement
in education and prudent
spending of public funds.
II welcome" Mr.. James said,

these principles a sound ap-
proach to the problems of
education facing parents, tax
payers and, most importantly,

Other committee members are
Gilbert Guide, George Warner,
John McElroy, Mr.. T. Paul
Freeland, Walter Dawson and
Mrs. Alvin Aubinoe.
I'm going to recommend
Gude." Mr.. Scull said. I.think
he'll be the best"
The present members Of the
Republican committee will serve
until the May, 1862, primary.
Mr.. Scull said, however, he
thinks it would be wise for him
to step down so that someone
who plans to stay on the COM
mittee after the 1862 primary
could take over and provide
continuity of leadership.
The retiring party chairman
was a member of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission but left
this position in June. 1868, after
assuming his party post.
Mr.. Scull, a real estate
broker, indicated his resigna-
ton as party chairman does
not necessarily mean he was
leaving the political scene.

sediment load In the river for
one year was about 8 million
tons.
Most Of this, he added, was
deposited on the river bottom
between Key Bridge and Mount
Vernon.
Mr.. Love said the Potomac
is lone Of the muddiest rivers"
on the Eastern Seaboard. An
earlier study Of the river in
1857 by Abel Wolman of Johns
Hopkins University, using
United States Corps Of En-
gineers data, had indicated the
annual sediment load Of the
Potomac River in this area was
only about l.8 million tons
Mr.. Love said.
More Data Available
The different sediment load
totals found by the geological
service and the Wolman studies
do not necessarily mean that
the river is getting muddier,
Mr.. Love said.
Mr.. Love. chief Of the agen-
cy's water quality branch, ex-
planned that data used in the
study was more complete than
had been available to DR.. VOL
man for the earlier survey.
He added that the amounts
of clay. sand and other sedi-
ment in the river could fiucu-
ate greatly from year to year
Dredging is now used by the
United States Engineers to
keep the river channel open
for navigation.
Mr.. Love said that construc-
ton Of a major dam on the
Potomac at River Bend or q
series Of dams above Washing
ton could trap most Of the
sediment now being carried to
the Washington area.
Dredging Still Required
However, he added, even af-
ter the construction Of dams
some dredging of the river will
be necessary.
Mr.. Love said that urbaniza-
ton is a major cause of the
heavy load of sedimentation in
the river.
New development covers land
which once helped absorb water
which now runs into the rives
carrying clay and sand with it

ference, George Burke. sanitary
engineer with the United States

to approve a new compact.
The Virginia Legislature ap-
proved the new document dur

ture also approved it that year
but over the protests of some
lawmakers from Southern
Maryland counties where fish,

Up to Maryland Voters
Most people thought the
shouting was over, but il
wasn't. With approval of both
legislatures, the compact woulc
have gone to Congress for rati-
f1cation. but Maryland oppon-
ents were able by petition tt
forestall this by forcing q
Statewide referendum on the
1853 action by the Maryland
Legislature.

for ships bound to and from
Free State ports. Virginia
wanted equal fishing rights
with Marylanders in the Po-
tomac River.
So the two States made a
deal: Free passage for ships
through the capes in return
for equal fishing rights in the
Potomac. Among other things,
the compact also dealt with
riparian rights of landowners,
building of wharves, building
of lighthouses and control Of
piracy.
Each State agreed that the
compact shall be obligatory on
this State and the citizens
thereof and shall never be re-
pealed or altered by the Legis-
lature of this government with
out the consent of the gov
ernment" of the other State.
Four years later the deal
turned rather sour for Mary
land. Under the United States
Constitution, the building Of
lighthouses and the chasing Of
pirates and control of inter-
state commerce was turned over
to the Federal Government.
Virginia could no longer charge
tolls to ships passing through
its capeS. But Maryland was
still stuck with the treaty.
But there wasn't much COM
planning. There were plenty Of
fish and oysters and crabs for
Marylanders and Virginians
alike.
The river, which produced
more than is million bushels
of oysters annually before 1900,
yielded only $4,000 bushels by
1881. Both States that year
passed laws forbidding the use
of dredges in taking oysters Ia
dredge scoops the oysters from
the bottom with power equip
ment). But three years later
Virginia yielded to pressure
from its watermen and repealed
its ban against dredging.
"Oyster Wars" Start
From then on, relations be-
tween the States so far as the
Potomac was concerned were
on the downgrade. With Vir-
ginianS dredging and Mary
landers getting into the act to
keep up with the competition,
Maryland began patrolling the
river and the so-called "oyster
wars" were on.
During the 1940s, Maryland
suggested that the two States

Readings
Of Bible

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8 (AP),
-Maryland's chief legal ofiicer
ruled yesterday that Bible read.
ing In Baltimore public schools
is constitutional. but he said
students who object may be ex-
cused from class during the
Scripture reading.
Attorney General c. Ferdi-
nand Sybert warned. however
that objections to the Bible
readings do not justify absences
from school. He said the only
recourse for objecting parents
and students Is enrolment In Q
private school.
The ruling by Mr.. Sybert and
an assistant. James Gentry, also
said mo right exists In q stu
dent or his parents to object
to the use Of any particular
textbooks or In q student tc
legally absent himself from Q
class using q book he disfavors. .
Mr.. Sybert was asked to rule
on the legality Of q 55-year-old
Baltimore School Board ruling
requiring daily readings Of the
Bible or Lords Prayer. The re-
quest came after Mrs. Madalyr
E. Murray had withdrawn her
14-year-old son from Wood
bourne Junior High School in
protest against the rule.

take another look a the COM
pact. The outcome was the
recommendation Of a bi-State
commission that a bi-State
regulatory body be set up to
control fishing in both the Po-
tomac River and the jointly
owned Chesapeake Bay, all of
which was considered a single
marine biological unit. The
Maryland Legislature approved
the recommendation, but Vir-
ginia turned it down.
Maryland legislators said in
1857 that they were fed up,
and they said that so far as
Maryland was concerned the
l785 compact was null and
void. The Maryland Legisla-
ture passed a new set Of fish,
ing laws and told Virginia they
would have to comply with
them.

Virginia countered that
Maryland couldn't tear up the

consent of Virginia, and took
