HUNTING AND FISHING
Move to Let Sportsmen
Keep Biz Rock Welcome

Approval by the Maryland
House of a bill to allow one
rockfish weighing more than
IS pounds to be kept is not
only welcome news to sports
men but it seems something
of a switch by biologists.
DR.. L. Eugene Cronin, di-
rector of the Department of
Research and Education which
operates the Solomons Marine
Laboratory, sent word to the
House that he felt the loss of
brood fish would be insignifi-
cant.
On the other hand, DR..
Cronin added, it might increase
business by attracting tourist
fishermen hoping to catch a
trophy" fish.
Back in 1859 Governor Tawes
vetoed a similar measure be-
cause biologists said it might
deplete the supply Of rockfish.
It has been estimated that a
3-pound female will produce
about $4,000 eggs while a So
FOUNDER will lay as many as
5 million.
That the law forbidding the
taking of a rockfish weighing
more than Is pounds is prob
ably the one most winked at
by Maryland anglers is well
known.
The fact that Virginia for
several years has allowed
sportSmen to keep any rock
over IL inches long and the
stories Of bull bass" catches
from Rhode Island and MasSa-
chusetts haven't helped.
= -
The action by the Maryland
House is not the only good
news for sportsmen.
Over in Virginia the State
Game Commission has tenta-
lively approved plans for a
spring turkey gobbler season.
The proposed season would
be on an experimental basis.
A regulation was drafted which
would permit the hunting of
bearded turkeys only for a six
day period in April in three
controlled areas. It must be
advertised and approved at a
March meeting before becom-
ing official.
The three areas are Camp
A. p. Hill, Camp Pickett and the
commission owned Gathright
Wildlife Management Area.
The season would open April
"a and close April 30 and hunt
ing would be allowed only from
a half hour before sunrise un-
til noon.
Hunting would be limited to
building blinds and calling.
Dogs or organized drives would
be banned. Z
Chester Phelps, executive di-
rector Of the commission, said
there is usually a surplus of
Evening star., 1961-03-03

gobblers and some could be
harvested in the spring without
causing serious damage to the
overall population.
I'VE feel the only way to
find out whether spring hunt
ing would work in Virginia is
to have an experimental season
under controlled conditions, ,"
he added.
Spring turkey hunting has
long been a favorite sport in
the Deep South.
Is -
Meanwhile, a Virginia legiS-
lative study committee is con-
sidering q request for O small
game season for bow and arrow
hunters. It was submitted at
the first Of three public hear
ings on the States game laws.
The meeting was held at
Wytheville and subsequent Ses-
sions will take place In Lynch
burg, March 13, and Richmond,
March 81.
Another request was for q
longer bow season on deer. The
speaker asked that Is days be
added, making total of 80.
Another suggestion was for
Identification cards for hunters
such as are worn in Maryland.
A representative of two wild
life clubs asked that it be made
mandatory for all hunters to
wear red. orange or yellow
jackets in the field. He also
recommended that hunters or
fishermen be permitted to vol
unteer as deputy game wardens
and empowered to arrest vio-
lators while in the field.
ABUSE OF hunting privileges
came up at another Virginia
meeting.
George A. Gehrken Of Frank
lin, wildlife consultant for the
Union Bag-Camp Paper Corp,
told the Appalachian section
OF the Society of American
ForeSters, at Roanoke, that
abuses by a small number give
all hunters q bad name.
Gehrken said that 80 per
cent Of the company's land in
Virginia and North Carolina
is open to hunting. The big
gest portion is used by hunt
clubs but "a per cent is re-
served for county residents and
10 per cent for the public.
Last year, he added, SO clubs
with $500 members bagged
1908 deer, IL bear and Q tur-
keys.
They did some work on
maintaining forest lands but
at the same time some hunters
took down barriers and drove
on roads in wet weather, pro-
ducing deep ruts and necessi-
tating regarding.
One hunter, he said, drove q
company bulldozer into a deep
canal, and members of a club
cut four acres of young timber
80 they could see the deer
better"
A hunter complained to q
forester about the sound of a
power saw because he couldn't
hear his dogs running"
Other hunters shot near q
drag line, making it difficult
for the company to get men
to work with high powered
rifles firing nearby.
This Is a very dark picture
to paint" Gehrken added, "but
it Is a true one in every detail.
The future of public hunting
depends upon the actions of
the hunters"

Dy .GWm jets OF ar ana is
quite different from other
boats Of similar nature tested
IN this area.
Not only is the boat designed
to speed along at so miles an
hour over the water but it can
ride right up on shore on its
cushion Of air.
Lest you Virginia commuters
get excited about the prospect
Of lodging rush-hour bridge
tie-ups by buying one to cross
the Potomac, you must know
the price is not picayune-
$4,000.
Important Uses Seen
Yet the boats makers, Ma
tional Research Associates of
College Park, Md. point to
such important uses as swamp
survey and mosquito control
work, Ship-to-shore transpor-
tation, marine policing and
water taxing.
The boat has no conven-
tional propellers. Two jets of
air forward raise its alma
hogany hull an inch above the
water and two jets aft propel
it. These air jets are provided
by two 40-horSepower gasoline
engines, one forward and one
aft, which power large fans.
Ten persons can be carried
on the cushion Of air but the
boat also can be operated as
q displacement hull at speeds
up to 80 miles an hour.
An important feature is a
plastic bow which initiates un-
der air pressure and absorbs
the shock Of any high, waves.
Steering is by two rudders
while operating costs are esti-
mated at only 6 cents a mile.
The makers say the boat can
be stopped completely in less
than its length and can be
reversed.
The show. being held at the
Fifth Regiment Armory on
Howard street, will be open
from noon until l0:30 pm.
tomorrow and from 2 to 10
pm. Sunday and Monday.
This year it occupies two
floors with some 100000 square
feet Of exhibit space. The boat
exhibits, ranging from prams
to several 40-footers, number
more than 200, almost half as
many as the big New York
show.

Interim Finuncino
At George Mason
Pushed by Bourd

The Falls Church School
Board last night requested a
joint meeting with the city
council Ito discuss ways and
means of providing interim fl
nancing" for enlargement Of
George Mason Junior Senior
High School.
In a unanimous resolution,
the board members said it is
imperative that construction
of the high school alterations
and additions proceed without
delay"
Funds for the project initially
were contained in a $1.2 mil
lion bond issue approved by
referendum last year. The Falls
Church Taxpayers League
brought suit against the city a
year ago, charging voting lrreg-
ularities. The Fairfax County
Circuit Court rejected the
league suit but the State Su-
preme Court of Appeals has
agreed to hear the league case.
The city council already has
directed City Manager Lewis
z. Johnston to prepare an
analysis of possible methods of
obtaining funds so that an early
start may be made on the
school construction.

A Fairfax County thief hit

An elementary school Santa
Claus who has already person.

canes which are to be distrib-
uted to 1st and I'd graders to-
morrow.
An Army warrant officer,
missing some $500 in gifts he
had planned for his last Christ
mas with his family before be-
ing assigned to Korea.
The Santa Claus is Harry
King of 1O15 Tenth street, in
the Belle View Apartments. In
addition to the candy canes for
the school. he is missing about
$50 worth of power tools which
he had borrowed and which he
is also replacing.
Il had locked the car" Mr..
King said. "and about 1880 l
went out to get the presents for
my kids who had gone to bed.
With my arms full, I guess I
just forgot to lock one of the
rear doors. 1t was my mistake. ="
The second victim, a few

There were reliable reports
recently that the administra-
ton would name Gov. Almond

Customs and Patent Appeals in
the hope Senator Byrd would
not object to that spot, which
would have no jurisdiction
over racial integration cases.
Gov. Almond and Senator
Byrd broke over how to deal

No criminal charges will be
placed in connection with a
traffic accident in which a
Fairfax mother and her baby
daughter died on December 9.
County commemorative Attor-
ney Robert c. Fitzgerald said
yesterday.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, who has been
investigating the accident for
10 days, said evidence obtained
does not support criminal ac-
ton by his office or by police.
An early report to police that
the car in which the mother
and child died apparently was
forced off the road by another
car later was shown to be in
accurate, Mr.. Fitzgerald said.
The accident claimed the
lives of Mrs. juno Herman, 33.
of 1112 st. Andrews drive, and
her daughter, Pamela, nine
months. They were fatally IN
jured when Mrs. Herrman's
station wagon went out of con-
troll and crashed into a tree on
Lee highway near Merrifield.
Relatives Agree
Mr.. Fitzgerald made his
statement after a conference
with Mrs. 1errman's husband,
Raymond, jr.; her father, E.
H. Printz, and their attorney,
A. Burke Hertz, all of whom,
Mr.. Fitzgerald said, agreed
with his decision.
Mr.. Fitzgerald gave this &C
count of the events surround
ing the accident:
Mrs. Herman was travelling
on Lee highway when a car,
operated by Mrs. Barbara Lee
Melton, %, of 7423 Little River
turnpike, started to pass her.
At about the same time, Mrs.
Herman started to pass a car
in front of her. Mrs. Melton
began to pull into the extreme
left lane but when she saw a
car approaching from the other
direction, blew her horn.
Remained at Scene
When Mrs. Herman realized
a car was alongside her, she
cut sharply to her right and
her car went out of control,
skidded, went down a slope,
turned on its side and crashed
into a tree.
Mrs. Melton stopped her car
about 100 yards away and re-
turned to the scene, but by the
time she got there. a number
of soldiers had run to the

way-the second to be opened
to traffic in Maryland-stretch-
ing from Georgia avenue to
University boulevard in Mont
gomery County.
I'VE need to know what ef-
feet this road will have on
long-range traffic, on land use
and land values" the Governor
told a small crowd huddled in
a chilly fog at the Georgia
avenue interchange.
No Ragged Pattern"
In addition, he continued, the
study will gauge the effect of
the expressway on wholesale
and retail trade, manufactur-
ing, agriculture, population
distribution and public services.
Gov. TaWes said such in
formation would insure that
growth stimulated by such an
improvement as the Capital
Beltway will not run away in
a ragged pattern"
John B. Funk, chairman of
the State Roads Commission,
said the study will be made
by Wilbur Smith Associates,
research consultants with head
quarters in New York. 1t will
start after the first of the year,
he said, and last upwards of
six months.
Mr.. Funk said the broad
survey will be the first of its
kind in Maryland, and possibly
the first in the Nation. This
idea was so new we had to
make a preliminary study just
to set up objectives," he added.
Values Hold
Among other things turned
up in the preliminary study,
he said, was the amazing
fact that land values, by and
large, were not deflated by con-
struction of an expreSsway
nearby.
I'm some cases the values
even increased" he said. In

Mrs. Melton remained on the

police told the gathering crowd
to move on.
The soldiers told police they
had seen a blue and white car,
and police broadcast a lookout
for it. When Mrs. Melton read
in the newspapers that her car
was being sought. she got in
touch with her attorney, who
called Mr.. Fitzgerald. Later

Delays Quiz
On Bus Tours

The Washington Metropoli-
tan Area Transit Commission
has recessed until February S
a hearing on the request of a
Bethesda sightseeing firm to
operate its own buses in the
Washington area.
The recess came yesterday
after the second day Of testi-
mony on the application of
Holiday Tours, Inc, to provide
what it calls a "personalized"
sightseeing service.
Ten area bus and sightseeing
companies have intervened in
the case. These companies con-
tend there is no need for ad-
ditional sightseeing service.
The latest company to enter
the case is the White House
Sightseeing Corp.
V. l.. Paris, president of the
White House Sightseeing Corp,
asked yesterday that his COM
pany be permitted to join nine
other companies which had
previously entered the case to
oppose Holiday Tours applica-
tion.
However, Leonard Jaskie-
wicz, attorney for Holiday
Tours. objected that the dead
line for intervention had al
ready passed.
Mr.. Paris said he had not
seen a notice of the hearing,
since he had been in Europe
and only returned last month.
Albert Sklar, the Maryland
representative on the area
transit commission, said later
that the commission had de-
cided to be "a little flexible"
and permit White House Sight
seeing Corp. to intervene.

velopment."
Observing that expressways
have been under attack by
many groups lately, Mr.. Funk
said the study will pro-
vide documentary information
which - he hopes - will dispel
the fears of homeowners and
merchants faced with adjust
ing to nearby projects.
The Maryland half of the
Beltway, which eventually will
circle Washington to meet the
Virginia half of the highway,
is expected t. be completed by
