Park Police Row

Park Police Row
1t has been quite an as
founding experience for the
hard-working, loyal members
of the United States Park
Police force to learn through
the newspapers of a move
ment by top Interior officials
to ouSt Chief Harold F. Ste
wart without apparent rea-
son or justification. The
Chief is highly respected and
admired as a person and as
a competent police executive.
His professional and techni-
cal abilities are widely known
and recognized. His courage
and dedicated, patriotic con-
Germ for his country's well
fare have sustained him in
his moulding and building of
a splendidly functioning po-
lice force.
The removal of Chief Ste
wart from office at this time
would deal a crippling blow
to the morale and esprit de
corps of the force. The Off
GERS and men under his COM
mand are not prepared or
ready at this time for a
change in leadership. We all
deplore unwarrant ed at
tempts made to pressure
Chief Stewart into retire
ment, especially when force
morale has been shaken and
professional careers leopard
lied by repeated attempts in
spired by a few malcontents
to bring disgrace and ruin to
the force.
Our few conSpirators are
completely out of perspective.
None of them feel any obli-
CATION to follow or to at
tempt to implement the poll
cies of force management.
They are loudly critical Of
all police orders which are
issued, and spread dissension
and disunity whenever pos
sible. They have absolutely
no sense of loyalty towards
their organization. This is
the deplorable situati o n
within the United States
Park Police, which needs to
be cleaned up at the present
time. Would it not be more
logical to remedy calculated
and contrived anarchy with
in a presumed-to-be disci-
plined police force by lending
support to the chief than to
attempt to appease a dis
satisfied, small faction by re-
moving the chief?
An overwhelming majority
of park policemen are career
minded individuals who are
professionally and morally
fit and competent to render
valuable services to the pub
lie. The record will show that
they have been behaving in
keeping with the finest tradi-
tionS of the force and of the
National Park Service. These
earnest, clean-cut men have
built an outstanding good
record of achievement and
a fine professional reputa-
ton. Our goal is to become
Americas finest police force.
We cannot hope to attain
this distinction without con-
tinued guidance and inspir-
ing leadership from Chief
Stewart.
The fate of the chief and
of the force rests in the
hands of Interior officials,
Civil Service Commission Of
ficials, members of Congress,
and in the support of public
spirited citizens who are in
terested in preserving good
police services in National
Capital Parks. Somewhere,
somehow, there must be a
meeting of minds which will
ensure the preservation OF
this fine force and ensure a
continuation of the careers
of its Chief and his subor-
dinate officers.
The spirit and courage of
United States park policemen
have always been indomita-
BILE. We know that in the ul-
innate reckoning right al
ways triumphs over wrong.

Capitalism VS.. Communism

No part of President Ken
nedy's book, THE Strategy of
Peace" is more battling than
his chapter on Poland and
Eastern Europe. His view on
the subject can be summed
up in one sentence-America
should help Communist lead
ers like Gomulka, the present
dictator of Poland. Kennedy
strongly attacks the Eisen-
hover administration for CIV
ing too little and too late"
assistance to Gomulka. It
seems that penny-ante Ike
could only see his way clear
to donating a mere 100 mil
lion Taxpayer dollars to
Polish communism; whereas,
Kennedy advocates $500 mil
lion as the irreducible mini
mum required to do wonders
for the Polish economy
after all Poland was once, he
says, "the breadbasket of
Eastern Europe" Now she has
not enough grain to feed her
own people.
1t is, of course, true that
Poland was once (under
capitalism the breadbasket
of Eastern Europe. 1t is also
true that Russia was once the
breadbasket of the world
(under the Tsar) and now,
like Poland, cannot ade-
quately feed itself. That's
their problem! What kind of
a cold war is it when our own
indomitable leaders give our
precious, though watered
down, dollars away in carload
lots to the very gangsters
who are sworn to bury us?
Try as I might, / cannot
see how such folly can do
anything but stabilize these
shakey Red regimes. Or could
it be that our masters of
global strategy" are trying to
make capitalists out of Com
munists by supplying them
with the capital? This would
indeed be a masterful stroke
Of genius.

Test No. 2. IS IT FAIR TO
ALL CONCERNED?
If so-there need be no
hesitation.
Test No. 3. WILL 1T BUILD
GOOD WILL AND BETTER
FRIENDSHIP?
Or will it cause misun-
derstandings or loss of
friendships?
Test No. A. WILL 1T BE BENE-
FICIAL TO A L L CON-
cERNED?
Or will it offend or hurt
Someone-or cause un-
happiness and h e a r t
aches? If so : better not
say or do it.
Ifamore peoplekneW of the Ro-
tary Away test-and practiced it
there would be much less mis-
understanding and vicious gossip
that hurt some people deeply.
But it is most unfortunate that
many people have never heard of
the Rotary Away test and
perhaps have forgotten the Gold
en- Rule.
That is my preamble.
We have just witnessed a
thoroughly disgusting example of
the extreme opposite of the prin-
ciples ct the Away Test.
Observation-Disclosures at my
personal expenses all of you
know who read the newspapers.
It is indeed a sad commentary
when one individual can Sc Seri-
ously besmirch and malign the
character and reputation of an
other-by making public state
ments of a deliberate FALSE
HOODS though it was a fact
and make statements of events
and situations that r SO twisted
and contorted as to leave a vicious
incorrect impression.
am reminded of the principles
of Propaganda-as outlined in the
book "Mein Kampf' by Adolph
Hitler. He states that if you tell a
BIG lie . loud and forceful and
often many people will believe
it as the truth.

tarian's "Four-Way Test"
charges made against him
in connection with the Tax
Exemption which appeared
in the public press but up
to the present time he has
had no official notification
of any charge.
Mr.. Hooper wanted to
know, as do many other
persons, if the charges had
any foundation why was he
not approached personally
or through proper legal
channels. He promised to
find out if the Comptroller
enjoys diplomatic immuni-
ty because he intends to
punch right back and let
the Comptroller know how
it feels" This remark was
greeted with tremendous
applause.
Mr.. Hooper said:
AS you know, / generally talk

I'd like to start off with the Ro-

Rule of Rotary. It is a business
and personal guide for use in our
personal and business contacts. 1t
is four TESTS-and if whatever
you are going to say or do can

plug right back at us. That
was lesson No. duck.
Having watched his style
closely. we east to a swirl and
hooked into what must have
been a 30-pound fish. This one
chose not to Jump Immediately

by throwing the plug SO feet

Couldn't Set Hooks

though it was sporting to play
them on 8-pound test line it
was quickly apparent that we
weren't going to catch many.
1t was just impossible to mus

spinning rods to set the hooks.
Nevertheless it was fun and
while they were rolling we each
hooked and played at least q
dozen Of all sizes from 10
pounds to 40. Not one was
boated although at times both
Bill and this writer had fish

could very possibly have been

After all, the sport is in the
fight and that leads to an odd
ity. Despite the fact that this
fishing is right on the edge of
town and easily available, few
Florida natives 60 in for it. A
tarpon is not edible, so, reason
the natives, why go after
them?
Tarpon Leaps for Lure
Climax of the afternoon
came when-and this is one of
those believe-it-or-not stories
Bill hooked a good-sized tar
pom. 1t jumped a couple of
times and this writer, like any
other courteous fisherman re-
trieved his line quickly to avoid
entangling Todt's fish.
However, as most other fish
ermen would, we held the rod
over the side Of the boat with
the lure dangling perhaps a
couple Of feet above the water.
Suddenly. another big tarpon
this one large enough to 60
through the bottom of the skiff
If 1t had landed in it-leaped
for the dangling lure. Lesson
No. 2-never trust q tarpon.
P.S. Your scribe's better half,

on the center seat while all
this was happening. She was
the one who almost caught the

Regatta in Progress
Another oddly was that this
was a Sunday and q regatta
was in progress on one side Of
the river while we fished on
the other side. A fleet of Light
ming class sailboats tipping
along with bright-colored spin
makers straining in the brisk
wind seemed to have no effect
on the tarpon.
We fished close to the lee
shore with freSh-water SPIN

When we arrived the fish
we're rolling everywhere. There
didn't seem to be any limit
to their numbers. Standing In
the bow of the little cupboard,
Bill would watch for q roll on
the surface or a splash and
cast just ahead of it.
Work Bait Slowly
The trick was TO work your
bait very slowly. twitching it
gently, until fully retrieved. "A

WEEKEND OUTLOOK
Run Of Cobio Keeps
Cape Boots Busy

The encyclopedia defines CO.
bia as "a very voracious game
fish slender and some
what pikeuke, reaching a
length Of S feet" 1t adds the
fish is also called the crab

Charter boat shippers out OF
Cape Charles, Va, right now
define the cobia as a money

lection. The big, brown fish
are biting hungrily and Turing

to get on the end Of a line.
One who can testify locally
is Frank Stout of 1923 South
Columbus street, Arlington.
Last Monday he hauled in a
48-pound monster and won
the first Virginia citation OF
the year for cobia. (The State
awards its plaque for a cobia
weighing As pounds or more.)
It took 20 minutes to land
the fish aboard Capt. Lee Luc-
zak's Aralee a few miles west
of Cape Charles near tn
mouth Of the Chesapeake Bay.

demonstrating a line can per-
form better than its rating.
Fish Near Pilings
An economy note not lost on
the cobia shippers is that lit
tie fuel is used in hunting
them down. The technique is
simply batting a hook with
menhaden, q common bait fish,
and quietly fishing near the
bottom around wrecks an d
pilings. So far, eight citation
size cobia have been landed,
and almost all boats are get

Meanwhile, back at the rock

the experts are shifting to live
eels for bait. Charter captains
out of several ports in the
mid Chesapeake Bay report ex-
cellent results with this tech
nique, Turing stripers up to the
15-pound limit. Smaller rock
fish are being taken with the
customary bucktails in troll
ing.

DAY ON ST. LUCE
Plug Costing for Torpon Real Fun
BY CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

= --NN@@
Z STUART, Fla, June 3O.-By
FAR the most exciting way Of
catching a tarpon is plug
FASTING.
Z It's also the easiest way Of
losing one, we've discovered.
Out Of Is hooked, you may
boat one - that is, If you're
very lucky. Usually, after a
half dozen jumps, they'll toss
the plug right back in your
face.
That's literally true. Now a
spinning or bait-casting plug
With treble hooks is no mean
weapon. when a tarpon hurls
II back at you, you duck, if
you have time.
n Very soon now, since early
duly is the beginning of their
run, Virginians will have a
chance to go after their own
brand Of tarpon. They'll come
through Little Machipongo In
let, Great Machipongo Inlet
and perhaps others over on
Yirginia's Eastern Shore and
fan out over the flats to gorge
on baby founders or anything
else they fancy.
: Roll Through Channel
You can trail an cupboard
to Wahapreague. Quinby or
Oyster, launch it and travel
out through the marshes to
Gull Marsh Channel, where
nearly all the tarpon are
caught. If you don't know the
waters or have a guide, a chart
at least is a must because what
seems hundreds of square miles
Of waters suddenly becomes
mud banks when the tide
drops. |
= AS the flats emerge, the tar
pom concentrate in Gull Marsh
Channel and sometimes you
can count hundreds as they
come rolling through. Differ
ence between these and Florida
tarpon is that Virginia tarpon
won't go for a plug. Why, we
don't know. Every conceivable
lure has been tried.
Only thing they seem to rel
ish Is live bait and too often
they won't go even for that.
CroakerS, black wills (small sea
