the chesapeake region through bi-State
regulation of the fishing industry in
all its aspects. The Maryland Legis-
lature agreed to the plan, but the
Virginia Legislature turned it down.
After Virginia challenged in the Su-
prefne Court Maryland's abrogation of
the l785 agreement, new commission
studied the problem and proposed a re-
vision Of the old compact limited to the
Potomac River. Under this agreement
Virginia for the first time would con-
tribute funds toward fish conservation
and would share with Maryland the en-
forcement of new regulations to pre-
vent depletion of the fish supply. Far
from being what Attorney Barbour in
his letter calls stumbling block" to
an overall conservation program, the
river compact well might prove to be a
long step toward eventual adoption by
both States of broad pact covering the
entire bay area-riverS and creeks in
cluded. To defeat the Potomac pact, we
fear, would be a severe setback to plans
for ultimate extension of joint control
as proposed by the Goolrick Commission
and urged by Mr.. Barbour and Candi-
date Lancaster.

Increasing Protection

There is no excuse, in this day and
age, for the failure Of motorists to carry
liability insurance, and Maryland wisely
has decided to clamp down harder next
year on the 10000 uninsured drivers in
that State.
Maryland took a commendable first
step in this direction two years ago, with
a law requiring uninsured motorists to
contribute annually to- "a fund which is
being used to guarantee insured motor
lists compensation legally due them for
damages incurred in accidents with un-
insured drivers. Drains on the fund
apparently have been heavy, for next
year the ante against uninsured motor
lists will be raised from So to $26 - an
action which should stimulate a reduc-
tion in the ranks of the uninsured. In
addition, as a check against motorists
who falsely claim they have insurance,
all automobile owners next year must
either submit certificate proving their
insured status or pay the $26 before
they are issued new license plates. The
necessary certificates are being provided
Maryland motorists by insurance COM
panies
This law, especially as strengthened,
affords reasonable and effective pro-
lection to responsible motorists. Vir-
ginia has law based on the same
philosophy. The District of Columbia,
unfortunately has not. Under District
statutes, uninsured motorists involved
in accidents are given the option of
posting an amount of money to cover
possible claims against them or surren-
dering their tags and drivers licenses.
While the latter alternative penalties
the uninsured, it is scarcely protection
to others. We hope the Commissioners,
therefore, will urge Congress next year
to authorize program similar to Mary
lands. A bill for this purpose was intro
duced during the last session, but was
not acted upon

1t has become fully obvious, of
course, that the greatest threat in mod
ern times of unfriendly foreign inter-

developed in Cuba. Behind the facade
of Fidel CaStro'S revolution, interna-

appeal in other Latin American coun-

been expressions of tolerance and SYM

De GouIIe and the Atom

IN erect, rather than vote for a par

President de Gaulle'S plan for equipping
France with her own nuclear striking
force. The approval, however, has been
indirect and reluctant at best "a fact
rejecting the opposition'S deeply felt
doubts about the wisdom of building up
such force.
These doubts have their roots in
questions like the following: ~ Is it
economically sensible for the French to
spend vast sums of money (the initial
outlay will be about $1.2 'bilIion) on pro-
ducing atomic hydrogen weapons and
developing ways and means of deliver
ing them? (2) Would it not be wiser for
France and for the free world at large
if General de Gaulle'S government,
under the premiership. of Mr. Debre,
would Shelve this ambitious and costly
undertaking and depend primarily on
American led integrated nuclear de-
fense under the high command of the

sides tending to stir up suspicion and
fear in West Germany, have the effect
Of looSening or weakening NATO by CIV
ing the impression that Paris is ready,
willing and eager to go it alone in this
Supremely dangerous field?
Such questions, which have been
asked most earnestly in the French
National Assembly, and which have
weighed heavily on official minds in
Washington and London, are obviously
important. But nobody should be sur
priSed by the situation. After all, Cen
eral de Gaulle, under whom France has
already tested number of nuclear
weapons, has never disguised his in
tention and resolve to place his country
on more or less equal footing with
Britain, Russia and the United States
as an active member of the grimly ex-
elusive A and H club. More than that,
with his almost mystical feeling about
French grandeur and glory, he has made
clear that he IS determined not to let
fFfhe British or the Germans or anybody
else achieve big advantage over "la
'patfie" in this field. Finally, speaking
Through Foreign Minister Couve de
Murville, he has strongly indicated that
Frances prospective atomic striking
force viii be *tightly co-ordinated with
the forces of other powers within the
framework of the Atlantic alliance"
Certainly, if this is the fact of the
matter, the pro-WeStern anti-Gaullists
in the National Assembly should feel
treasured. In any event, it is under
1. Standable that General de Gaulle is
intent upon making France as strong
and as influential as possible in the
nuclear club, and there should be no
worry on that score as long as his
government is equally intent Upon in
tegrating its policy and action with the
free West as a whole.

Reasonable. Compromise

A letter in another column on this
page supports the stand of Southern
Maryland waternnen against approval of
the proposed new Maryland Virginia
compact to regulate fishing in the Po-
tomac River. Opponents of the agree
ment, including Republican Candidate
Carlyle Lancaster in the 5th district con-
greSSional race, are urging its defeat in
a November referendum in. favor of
a broader compact which would include
fishing rights in Chesapeake Bay as well
as it's tributaries. It would be unfortu-
nate, however, if the Potomac compact,
already approved by the General Assem-
biieS of both States, were to be rejected
by the votersin the belief that abroader
agreement could be obtained in the fore
seeable future. Although an overall in
terState agreement covering both the
river and the bay would be desirable, it
is unrealistic to hold out hope for such
pact now. Virginia has fatty rejected
the plan once-and there is every in
dication that she would continue to do
so if it were to be revived in the near
future.
Under the circumstances, the POto-
mac River compact, as worked out by
bi-State commission under pressure
from the Supreme Court and as finally
revised and adopted by both Legisla-
lures, represents a reasonable compro-
mise-one which seems to be the best
that can be hoped for at the present
time. 1t was difficult enough to obtain
agreement by the legislative bodies and
the Governors of Maryland and Virginia
on such a touchy subject as control of
oystering, grabbing and fin-fishing in
the river. An agreement on even wider
control-one that would extend into
Virginia's waters of the lower bay
apparently would be immeasurably more
difficult of realization.
The voters should be reminded that
the Potomac compact up for decision
evolved from years of controversy over
and study of the large problem of fish,
ing control in the whole Chesapeake
basin. The Goolrick Commission in 1949
recommended creation of an interstate
agency to conserve the fish resources Of

stronger than was warranted
by the calculated transmits

Result Explained
ITO explain this anomalous
result, Prof. Helliwell poStu-
lated a travelling wave am
plitude effect for these sig
nails out in space. If the
streams of charged electrons
in the ionospheric regions
even approximately matched
in velocity that of the trans
mitted signal, a travelling
wave type of interaction
could take place whereby the
signal would extract energy
from the moving electron
stream and so become ampli-
fed.

vide an explanation for
many of the mysterious ef-
