The States high court also

To Consult With Clients
In Baltimore, Attorney Hy-
man Pressman said the decision
was "a big surprise" He said
he would not know whether to
appeal to the Supreme Court
until he read the opinion and
consulted with his clients-the
Southern Maryland watermen
who forced the issue to a refer
endum.
If Mr.. Pressman does not
appeal, only formal approval
by Congress and the President
is necessary before the States
can set up a bi-State agency
to start regulating oystering
and fishing in the river.
The compact, replacing one
which had given virginians
equal fishing rights in the
Maryland owned river since
1875, was drafted at Mount
Vernon in 1858 after the Mary
land Legislature had abrogated
the old agreement in a climax
to law-enforcement differences
with Virginia.

Pressman'S Contention
Mr.. Pressinan Immediately
challenged the validity of the
.atification. He also contended
the compact was unconstitu-
tional, primarily because it
gave Virginia authority over
conduct of Marylanders on a
Maryland-owned river. He also
Claimed the title of the act did
not indicate its sweeping provi-
sions.
With Judge Charles Marbury
dissenting, the hlgh court
said that it was clear that
there was not even substan-
tial compliance with the law.
But, it added, there was sub
stantial, if not full, achieve
ment of the purposes of the
statute to acquaint the electo-
rate fully with the law involved,
and nothing to show that the
deviation from the prescribed
mode of acquainting, misled
the voters or prevented, fruS-
trated or interfered with a free,
full and intelligent expression
of the popular will"
Judge Marbury disagreed
sharply with this view. THE
courts are not at liberty, in the
enforcement of a statute, to dis
regard any mandate or require
ment of the organic law" he
said.
