Coast Guard
Cuts Path to
Smith Island

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2s (AP)
"A Coast Guard cutter broke
through to ice-bound Smith Is
land in Chesapeake Bay today,
enabling vital supplies to reach
the islands 400 residents.
The Coast Guard said the
cutter Barberry reached the
town Of Ewell, a deep-water
port, and cleared the way for q
mail boat to reach Tylerton,
where the approach is more
shallow.
Smith Island is located q few
miles offshore from Crisfield.
Md.
A Coast Guard spokesman
said there were no calls for aid
from another bay island. Tan
gier Island. Va, and he as
sumes the TOO residents there
need no assistance.
There are many smaller ice
locked islands in the bay, most
Of which have at least q few
inhabitants. But q Coast Guard
spokesman said he knows Of no
critical problems on any Of
them.
State Police said q helicopter
would be on 24-hour standby
during the week end and would
be used If emergency calls for
supplies come from the bay
islands.
The Coast Guard said its
cutter Chinook was forced to
return to port for repairs be-
cause Of damage sustained In
struggling with ice Up to is
inches thick.
Two other cutters-one par
TALLY disabled were working
to free vessels and keep ship
ping lanes open in the upper
bay. Still another cutter out
Of Baltimore was working the
Potomac River.

Univuc Out
As Festival
Matchmaker

Officials ARA n ging this
springs Cherry Blossom Festi-
val have quietly short-circuited
the mechanical matchmaker
used last year for the princess
es and their military escorts.
The couples are going to be
paired off this April by height,
or some such simple device, and
not BY the Univac computer.
Reasons given for this deci-
sion were somewhat vague.
Harold d. Fangboner. this years
chairman Of the National Cher
ry Blossom Festival Commit
tee. indicated that he himself
wasn't too clear on this point.
Some other committee men,
bers apparently feel that last
years system had been some
thing Of . novelty" that Just
had not worked out too well,
Mr.. Fangboner explained.
But there was a suspicion In
some circles. however, that
there was another reason.
Last year. the 106 princesses
and escorts were given COM
patability questionnaires. The
machine was fed the answers
and then paired off the couples.
One question, however, had
sent some Air Force brass into
a nosedive. It was: After
marriage ceremony: Double bed
;. single bed ...?
AS a result Of the protests,
the keepers Of the machine
eliminated the answers to this
question by the Air Force par
ticipants.
Festival officials yesterday
did not tie In this incident with
the committees decision this
week to switch back to a nom
machine system. Instead, ac-
cording to one official, there
merely had been general agree
ment that "automation had
rung a sour note" at last years
ceremony.

lane system at that point,
which during the morning rush
hour should provide for four
full lanes of traffic." Mr.. Twiss
commented. But all we're
really getting is use Of two
lanes out Of the four"
He said the curbside lane,
for all practical purposes, is
a bus lane with motorists
staying out Of 1t If they can.
And the left turn lane blocks
traffic movement when a few
motorists desiring to get onto
Porter street wait for the prop
er light sequence to permit
them to make the turn. This
leaves the two middle lanes
as the only effective path.
Mr.. Twiss said he believes
this left turn at Porter and
Connecticut may have to 60
soon.
On Turning Right
In most others. he said, where
arterial needs predominate, the
answer for these relatively few
motorists who want to turn left
Is to circle to the right.
Our drivers are going to
have to become more oriented
to this right-turn pattern" Mr..
Twiss said.
Have the increasing number
Of no-left-turn signs brought
any squawks?
1T seems that everybody
complains about them" Mr..
Twiss answered.
People drive automatically.
II you put up a sign that says
they can't turn left then they've
got to give it some thought to
figure out how to get where
they want to go. This upsets
their normal driving habits and
they don't like it.
"These drivers are going to
have to start planning their
trips in advance-and figure
out where to turn right and
circle a block to get where they
want to go because we're get
ting rid of those left turns"

More Left Turn Bons
In Offing, Twiss> Says

You probably have noticed
this-the number Of District
traffic intersections where left
turns are banned is growing
Francis E. Twiss, the high
way departments chief traf-
fic engineer, says more rush
hour and all-day left turn re-
strictions are in the offing as
the volume of traffic on the
city's streets continues to grow.
The mounting number of in
tersections where there are left
turn control signs of some kind
bears out the traffic engineers
point.
Total Of 335
At present the city has a
total Of 1886 intersections where
some turns are prohibited at
rush hours or all hours during
the day.
In the past two years alone,
the number Of these restricted
intersections has grown by
about rs, most Of them in the
traffic dense center of the city.
There are two primary rea-
sons for the growing need for
turn prohibitions.
First Is the safety factor
the left turn is dangerous for
the pedestrian and chances are
greater for auto collisions.
Second is the need to keep
traffic lanes open for the
heavy movement Of cars on the
city's main streets.
1--WE are fast approaching
the point where no left hand
turns will be permitted on any
main arterial," Mr.. Twiss
stated.
Crisis at Porter Street
He cites an example Of how
a. left turn now permitted
southbound traffic on Connec-
ticut avenue at Porter street

down the maximum use of

want to drop In on O hearing
at 8 pm. Tuesday before the
Alcoholic Beverage Committee
Of the House. Up for consid-
Grafton is a bill which Con-

charges would make it easier
to bring in Illegal whisky.
The bill. approved by the
Legislative Council at the re-

would remove the requirement
that a tax stamp be affixed to
every bottle sold in the State.
All this stamping and pasting
is unnecessary and expensive,
the wholesalers say.
Take the stamp off and you

whisky which would flow in L.

recent racial incidents in Alabama

They could have been avoided,

not for the callous racial attitude
of some State and local authorities
who openly endorse bigotry."
The 1850 Nobel Peace Prize

the relatively few who form the

less people are a discredit to a
civilized people and are not repre-
sentative of the American COM
munity.
They do, however, give much

But as my earthly uncle used
to say, There's more than one
way to skin a squirrel, some of
them downright easy"
USE MOTOR
In snagging, the easy way
is to crank up your Mercury
cupboard and hold the boat
steady in the current by throt-
ting down the motor, then
failing out with the snag line
from the boat instead Of from
the bank.
It puts the snagger down
closer to his subject where he
can put more "yank" on the
line. 1t also is much easier
to handle a 30 to 40-pound
fish from a boat than from a
high bank.
Those who have tried claim
trying to kill a grizzly bear
with a fly swatter is consider
ably easier than attempting to
hoist a 3O-pound catfish up a
high bank when he's hooked in
the body.
It's not impossible, but nei-
Their is walking on water.
Snagging, for the uninitiated,
is done with a heavy rod and
a heavy line with a couple Of
huge treble hooks on the end
Of it. Somewhere around the
hooks is hung a pound or two
of lead weights.
YANKS
The snagger throws the
hooks and line as far into the
water as possible, then brings
it back in a series Of bone
wrenching "yanks" on the rod.
All the time he is hoping to
slam the big hooks into a big
fish when he yanks.
It's a wise idea to check
state laws before giving snag-
cling a try. Some allow it and
some don't.
