He said Mr.. Cohen pointed

an estimate be made. If the
cost is excessive the insurance
may be cut back, Mr.. Norman
said. Bids would then be in

City 70 Reopen
Rest Room
Near Library
Mt. Vernon Square
Station to Be
In Service Monday

The public comfort station
at Mount Vernon square will
be reopened Monday, officials
said today.
The Commissioners decided
yesterday that the recent
closing of the comfort station
was a mistake because of the
impact on the Central Library
there.
The Commissioners were
convinced that the comfort
station should be recpened
after hearing statements from
city library and police officials.
The comfort station, along
with the one at Thirteenth
street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, was shut down sew
eral months ago as an economy
move.
Economy an Object
The Commissioner, acting on
the recommendation of an
economy task force, had pro-
posed to the House Appropria-
tions Committee that a SAC, 900
item to finance the operation
of the stations be deleted. from
the current budget. The House.
however, left the item un-
touched.
District Librarian Harry N.
Peterson protested to the COM
miSsioners that alcoholics and
other undesirables now are US
ing the library's restroom in
stead Of the one outside. Van
dalism and other indecent acts
are being committed in the Ii
brary building and on the
grounds, Mr.. Peterson said.
Facilities Inadequate
In his statement yesterday,
Mr.. Peterson said that, aside
from other considerations, the
central library doesn't have
sufficient toilet facilities. A
major point he made was that
youngsters patronizing the IL
brary now are being brought in
contact with perverts, drug
users and drunkS.
Police officials noted that
the Mount Vernon Square Area
produces a heavy percentage
of arrests.
At one point. Commissioner
Walter N. Tobriner said the
situation at the library result
ing from the comfort station
closing would seem "a confess
sion of police inadequacy."
Police officials, however, said
the vast percentage of men ar
rested in that area are repeat
ers, and that they promptly re-
turn to the scene after serving
their sentences.
After debating the question
in executive session, the Com
misSioners issued statement
which said the Commissioners,
Iin concurring with the economy
Recommendation of the task
force, were not fully aware of
the potential effects of this ac-
tion on the public library
building and the adjacent mer-
chants.

LANE SAYS RACE
COST HIM $4,425

RICHMOND, Aug. II (AP).-
Denis K. Lane reported to the
State Board of Elections today
he spent $4,452 in his one
vote loss to Delegate James M.
Thomson for nomination to
the House Of Delegates from
Alexandria. -
Mr.. Lane filed campaign
expense statement with the
board on the July II primary.
Mr.. Thomson earlier had re-
ported expenditures of $5,499.

disagreed with the decision by
Judges William P. Woolfs and
Daniel Weymouth to discard
the three disputed ballots.
The three judges supervised
a recount of ballots cast for Mr..
Lane and Delegate James M.
Thomson in the July II
primary.
In addition to reversing the
apparent results of the pri-
mary, the court also ordered
Mr.. Lane to pay the $170 costs
of the recount which resulted
in his defeat.
On the night of the election,
Mr.. Lane was reported to have
won by four votes. Later his
margin was increased to IA.
However, Mr.. Thomson, a
leading member of the Byrd Or
ganization, demanded a recount
and was declared the winner by
one vote. G ;
Not Covered in Code
Contacted at his home in
Harrisonburg, Judge Ha a S
said:
II think the public is entitled
to be enlightened as to the rea-
sons in support of the decision
taken"
He reported that on two Of
the voided ballots, which he be-
lieved should have been count
ed for Mr.. Lane, voters drew
lines beyond the printed square,
beside the candidates name.
The third ballot was tossed
out, over his objections, be-
cause the X beside Mr.. Lanes
name could have been con-
strued as a Y.
The Virginia election code
states that the voter should
make a check, a cross mark, or
a line before the name of the
preferred candidate. It says
nothing about whether the
ballot should be invalidated if
"a line extends beyond the
printed square.
"I believe in the theory Of
substantial compliance with
the law as compared to meticu-
lous compliance" Judge Haas
said.
He also cited the Biblical
quotation: THE letter of the
law killeth, but the spirit giveth
life"
29 Votes VOided
Still another vote for Mr..
Lane was rejected because a
drawn line resembled cur
licue."
Although he did not protest
this exclusion, Judge Haas
commented: II lean toward the
theory that a line is a line"

This is the biggest fishing

Then there was the time
we had four marlin strikes
in an hour and once had
two fish crossing the lines
and standing on their tails
as they tried to get off the

OCEAN CITY, Md.-ocean
City is always surprising it
self.
The waterman whose wife
took in summer boarderS was
surprised pretty soon to find
that she was running a fair.
sized hotel.
He wasn't the only one.
They are up and down and
behind the boardwalk in con-
siderable numbers.
After a storm in 1888,
Ocean City woke up to the
realization that it had the
makings of a port.
The storm had broken a
channel through the beach
into Sinepuxent Bay. Before
that the beach had extended
southwark without a break
for miles along what is now
called Assateague Island.
So Uncle Sam obligingly
built a stone rip rap which
made the channel perma-
nent and Ocean City became
a fishing port.
Then the sons of the late
Senator Townsend of Della
ware decided there was no
reason that marlin fishing
off Ocean City should not be
as exciting as in the Yucca
tan Channel off the coast of
Cuba.
They brought the captain.
Of their boat up from Flor
ida. He showed the Ocean
City captains how to troll
with skip bait-how to i'm
pale a squid on the hook so
it would skip along the sur
face.
The commercial fisher
men had often seen the
martins dorsal fins break
water over the Jack Spot, a
reef IS miles out. They were
surprised that anyone would
want to fish for them. There
was no market for marlin.

BUT THAT MADE Ocean
City a port famous among
sport fishermen. 1t is now
called "The White Marlin
Capital of the World"
And now Ocean City is
surprised that, despite the
Shortness of the season, in
vestors have been willing to
put up hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for modern
hotels and motels at the
northern end of the beach.
Ocean City is not Virginia
Beach or Atlantic City but
it's coming along. First thing
you know they will construct
an airport large enough for
transport planes and we will
be able to get there from
Washington in Is minutes.
The nearest airport for
passenger planes is at Sails
bury, about 80 miles inland.
Ocean City'S beach is one
of the finest on the Atlantic.
When the ocean is calm you
have to wade quite a dis
tance until the water gets
above your knees.
The tanned torsoS of the,
lifeguardS and tanned Shoul-
ders of the nymphs who con-
gregate around the lifeguard
stands show that there has
been plenty of sun this sum-
mer.
It is high tide and the
surf fishers are casting
with never-ending patience.
Funny thing-you rarely see
them hook a fish and you
never see them go in SWIM

Mcbride Impressive
In Argyle 1st Round

Billy Gilbert, the Argyle
Country Club professional, is
tremendously enthused over
the golfing potential Of Billy
Mcbride, a 19-year-old club
member who last year made
his initial bid for recognition
when he qualified for the Ma
tional Amateur championship.
The Argyle members were
equally impressed yesterday
when the upcoming Univer-
sity of Maryland freshman
ended Bob Marines two-year
reign as Argyle Invitation
champion with a 3-and-2 vic
tory in a mild surprise in the
first round of match play.
Mcbride played one-under-
par golf in ending Bob Mar
tino's bid for a third straight
title. Two other MARITIME broth
ers, Roger and Pat, were among
five Argyle members who adj
vanced to the quarter finals.
The other three quarter
finalists are from Bethesda,
Perky Cullinane, District ANA
teur champion. Dwight Mock,
runnerup in the District three
years ago, and Bob Thatcher,
22-year-old University Of
Maryland student.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-06-30

According to Gilbert, Nc
Bride has all of the shots, and
merely needs more experience
and putting confidence.
Mcbride runs into another
MARITIME, Roger, today, while
Cullinane meets Mock, in the

pion, played Ed Lanzolotti, while
