On another legislative mat
ter. Gov. Tawes indicated to re-
porterS yesterday that legisla-
tors who want to change the
James plan Of aid for educa-
ton to localities will have to
put up some pretty persuasive
arguments.
There is pressure from some
legislators and the State Teach
ers Association to increase the
$6.4 million setup for educa-
tional aid in the James plan
which Gov. Tawes has Endorsed.
The Governor said the James
plan, which also provides addi-
tional funds for welfare assist
ance to some localities, will re-
quire expanding the sales tax
to items costing 26 cents and
restaurant meals costing &c
cents. The sales tax now begins
at 81 cents and restaurant
meals are exempt.
Gov. Tawes said that add.
tional aid to localities above
the James plan would require
lowering the starting point o1
the sales tax even further thar
26 cents.
Another factor which may
have some bearing on the
teacher pay issue Is q National
Education Association survey
which shows that Maryland
ranks ninth among the SO
States in average salaries Of Its
public instructional staff. The
States average is listed at
$5.905.
The NEA survey also showed
that the average salary of Mar.
yland teachers is greater thar
that paid in adjoining States
Of Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Delaware. /

BAY
FISHING
Ccpf. Gene Hunt
GAIL D"
Chesapeake Beach. Md.

There have been some proud
goings-on down in the lower Po-
tomac that should make delight.
full reading for all sportsmen.
1t seems that some commercial
hook and line fishermen oper.
ating from the Virginia shore
have come up with a new
method for snatching even
more dormant rockfish off the
bottom.
They are snagging them.
They take large gang hooks and
after locating the fish with
their fathometers they drift
after them yanking up and down
with their rig until one of the
hooks hangs on TO a fish.
l talked to some of the char
ter boat captains operating in
this area and they said for a
while they couldn't figure out
what was going on. AS the
water got colder the fish bit
less and less until finally even
though they could see the fish
on the meters and feel their
sinkers humping against them
they could not get the fish to
bite.
At the same time, however.
these commercial boys operat.
ing on the same school OF fish
were loading the boats while
the charter boat captains looked
on and scratched their heads.
Finally, this business of the
snag hooks came to light.
! suppose it doesn't make
much difference TO the fish that
is caught whether he is caught
in a net, on an artificial bait or
he is snagged in the belly.
There is, however, one really
nasty aspect to this type OF fish.
