Not Hopeless
The outlook Is not wholly
bleak, however. After the COM

things that struck home to the
Air Force was q realization that
command and communications

Withstand even q direct hit

This means deep burial In

II q big war starts, most Of
our combat command and con-
troll centers viii be vaporized
by enemy missiles, and millions
Of Americans viii die in those
early moments.
Should the spare-the- cities
strategy now being advocated
in the Pentagon by some high
Air Force officers be accepted,
how could our officials retain,
under such conditions. the con-
troll and the calm judgment
needed to direct 0 retaliation
that would not involve all-out
destruction Of Soviet cities?
These questions worry PEN
tagon officers who argue that
in any kind Of nuclear war 1t
is In our best interest to de-
liberately reject destruction Of
enemy cities. Computer exer-
cises by the Air Force appear
to show that American deaths
can be cut by 100 million to $50
million, and our chances foI
victory increased, If our long
range striking forces conflne
themselves to military targets
the enemy's missiles, bomb
ers and air defenses.
This strategy would demand
that our missiles and bombers
be closely controlled during the
war; that weapons be withheld,
unused. II military targets can
not be located: that emotion
and revenge be excluded from
our decisions, and that we
open negotiations with the
enemy even as the destruction
proceeds.
Depends on Cool Heads
All this would require iron
nerves and excellent communi-
cations.
The present assumption. as
described by highest Pentagon
ofncials, Is that retaliation
must be planned In advance,
and that the war viii then pro-

tribute to weapon survival.
This still leaves unanswered
the question of whether cool
heads will indeed prevail dur
ing the war. Here Is what
could happen:
The enemy strikes our mis-
sile and bomber bases and air
defense installations, destroy
ing most Of SAC and NORAD
Our cities are not targets, but
P hoentx. Ariz., Charleston,
s. c.. Plattsburg. N. Y, and
Ogden, Utah, are so close to
major strategic targets that
they and their people are de-
stroyed. Enemy missiles dam
age other urban areas; many
persons are sprinkled with
radioactive fallout.
In a few hours five, 10, per-
haps 20 million Americans have
been killed. Destruction and
Suffertng are unimaginably
frightful. What do our mill
tary and civilian leaders do?
+ II they follow their an
guished hearts, they order our
surviving bombers and missiles
to destroy Russian cities and
Russian lives. Perhaps 80 or
100 million Russians die.
Soviet leaders now send their
surviving missiles and bombers
to our cities, killing an addi-
tional 100 to $50 million Amer
leans, according to computer
estimates.
The Alternative
What should our leaders have
done after the first attack on
America?
II the Air Forces computers
are correct, they should have
coolly ordered retaliation only
against the enemy's armed
forces, Sparing his cities. So
Wet deaths from accidental
misses, fallout and so on would
be perhaps five or 10 million.
If the Soviets. too, kept their
heads. the war would run its
course without substantially
more American or Soviet deaths.
AS many as $50 million Amer
ican lives would be saved. We
would retain o chance of win
ming q war we could survive
rather than trying for a "vic-
tory" that would kill from so
to 90 per cent Of our people.

Overflow crowds twice at Richard Mont

sometimes at Wheaton, Sherwood, Walter
Johnson, and Blair point to the need for
County stadium. Everywhere in the County
schools are adding bleachers, trying to raise
funds for stadiums, hoping for lights. If some
central action isn't taken soon every school in
the county will have a stadium which will hold
between 5000 to 1000 fans and no one will have

Gaithersburg drew an estimated 5000 for its

Breakup Of Bi-County Caused

With the close of the football
season the Maryland Bi-County
league, or as it is correctly call
ed, the Bi-County Athletic Con-
ference, was dissolved.
The league which lasted for
seven years on all sports was a
victim of the expanding popula-

BAY
FISHING
Capt. Gene Hunt
"GAIl n
Chesapeake Beach, Md.

For the past week, the fish
ing would have to be classed
as hard. The fish from Devils
Hole to Lower James Island
have been extremely tough to
catch. They are laying tight
and only the most experienced
rock fishermen have been able
to coax a lure into their mouth.
They have bit just on the edge
of dark at Harrison'S Hole and
DEVILS Hole.
The trouble is by waiting un-
til the last hour of daylight be-
fore becoming active, they
leave a lot of empty hours dur
ing the morning and early
noon. There is a beautiful
school of fish on the cinder pile
out on the Winter Gooses.
These fish have been a little
more active, but not much. III
has been possible to pluck a
few of these off during the
middle hours of the day. But,
here again you must practically
shove the bait down their re-
luctant threats. They just will
not rise off the bottom and
take the hook. The one bright
spot in this picture is the size
of the fish. At all of the spots
have mentioned the fish are
running heavy. You may catch
a few under two pounds. But
most will run from three to
seven pounds with some real
cows running being nailed
early mornings and late eve
nings.

will, / am sure, be mighty hard
to sell. In fact, by most
anglers who dream of some
day hooking into a big rock
fish, these two gentlemen will
be branded champion bull shoot
ers. However, I was there and
witnessed their venture. So, at
the risk of being called a bigger

cess the rest of the morning
hours. Then after noon. they
quit trolling and began drifting

story. Though the fish wouldn't
take bucktails, they took the
cells. There was only one hitch.
The fish were all cows - well
over the 15-pound limit. They
caught fish running from eight
teen to thirty pounds, and then
they quit. They actually pulled
in their lines and left.

Of a party quitting because the
fish were too big. You have

be a likely candidate for any
and every league management
conceives.
The theory is that once you
get in league you're booked
and you'll love it. I'm not sure
but that the theory is correct.
So, to Bob Stephens of Whea-
ton, your question is a good
one. doubt If fun is the only
criteria used by most bowlers
in pursuing the sport. Others
probably include competition
and challenge. What other
sport can any person contribute
to a team effort in the quest
of the championship?

1 guess as much tackle is
ruined by improper storage as
by any other method.
Most anglers have decided to
quit for this season, that is, all
except a few hardy souls. The
way you stored that gear until
next spring, might well deter
mine how you enjoy your fish
ing in 1861.
Hooks, loose and on lures,
will rust, flies can deteriorate,
stringers, fish bags, landing
nets and other equipment can
be ruined by putting it away i'm
properly.
Probably the most abused,
and among the most expensive
tackle, is a fly line. Any line
left on the reel spool for six or
eight months is almost surely
going to be no good. To make
sure that line cast well, and
floats next year, take it off the
reel and wash it in a solution
of warm water and detergent.
Use only a little detergent.
After washing, rinse it well and
allow it to dry. Then place it in
q cardboard box, lying in loose
coils. Kept in a spot with aver
age or slightly cooler temper
atures, the line will be as good
as new next spring.
Flies are made of wool, fur
or feathers. Moths just love to
feast on such goodies. Put the
flies in an air tight jar, add a
few moth crystals, and tighten
the lid. Next season, remove
the flies, hold them over flow
ing steam and the feathers will

spring back to the original
shape.
You should immerse string
ers, fishing bags, landing nets,
and other tackle that accumu-
late CRIME and dirt, into some
hot soap and water. Rinsed in
clear water and placed in a dry
spot, this equipment will stand
many seasons of wear.
Reels are easy to condition.
With casting reels, simply re-
move only the side that holds
the handle. Wash all parts with
hot soap and water. Add a little
vaseline to the gears, a little
oil to the small moving parts,
and put in a place where they
can't collect dust.
Spinning reels are easiest to
clean. Remove the spool re-
tainer nut, and take off the
spool. Unscrew one side of the
reel body. Wash all parts with
hot soap and water, or some
solvent. Add vasoline to the
gears, light oil to the shaft and
moving parts, and reassemble.
A word of caution about u.s.
ing solvents as cleaners. Many
modern reels have some plastic
parts. Be careful, some solvents
will ruin the plastic before your
eyes. Acetone is one of these
liquids.
Fibre glass rods require little
attention. Wash the CRIME off
them and store in a spot where
they won't be broken.
Boots should be preserved
from year to year by being
