President Kennedy is under
pressure to veto a bill dealing
with the control of obscenity
in the District.
In a letter to the President,
the local branch of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union
claimed the bill would en-
danger the freedom of the
Washington com m unicationS
media"
Sections of the legislation,
which amends existing OBJ
scenity laws, would, in the
opinion of the organization,
place unparalleled powers in
the hands of police"
The bill was passed by Con-
gress last week after it had
been in conference for over a
year.
One of the chief objections
to the legislation, as outlined
in the letter to the President,
was that the bill 'gives every
policeman in the Nations Cap
ital the untrammeled authority
physically to disrupt and close
down any newspaper, broad
casting station, motion picture
or live theater."
This could be done, accord
ing to the letter, if a news
paper or radio or teleyision
station advertised a book
which in the opinion of a po-
liceman was either indecent or
obscene.
This section of the bill, orig
mated in the House District
Committee, was passed on by
both the House and Senate.
Those drafting the legislation
claimed that the same thing
can be done under existing law
and that the legislation only
serves to clarity certain pro-
cedures in clamping down on
those who distribute obscene
material.

A CHANGE AT OLNEY
The Briers, 1903, Yields to Subdivider

The calm around the sleepy
old Briers plantation near Oh
ney was stirred by a steady
humping sound coming from
the crumbling corn house. It
was noticed because the land
has not been farmed for years
and now awaits its first split
level tenant.
But the noise was not made
by q farmland. 1t was the
autumn shower of acorns fall
ing from hefty oaks. Rolling
like brown marbles off the
hammered tin roof, the oaks
fruit thumped to earth and hid
beneath a growing crust of
reddish-brown leaves.
The farm that Josiah Wa
ters Jones acquired in 1841 is
cloaked in a haunted silence
today as the last of the Joneses
prepares to surrender the 497-
acre estate to the subdivider
next month. Josiah's descend
ants have lived in the brick
house since he built it 108
years ago on Laytonsville road
a mile from Olney.
Memories at 81 Years
Margaret Jones Gilpin lives
here with her husband, Will
liam. Her last days at the home
in which she grew up are being
spent sorting her mothers old
cherished property to be divid-
ed among the family.
Mrs. Gilpin's mother, Mar
garet Elgar Sherman Jones, is
81 years old. Partially para
lyzed and in a nursing home
for the past year, she does not
mourn the passing of her old
homestead. A realistic woman
who lives in the future and
not in the past, she says "the
Briers isn't the same place I
knew" But when she does talk
about the past she reveals an
incredible memory.
A "city girl" Mrs. Jones was
born in the District at 622 E
street and went to Olney every
year with her family as a
summer boarder." Here she
met Josiah Waters Jones, jr.,
who was born at the Briers in
1870.
II couldn't catch him with
a horse" she says, so I got
a bicycle and caught him with
that" In 1898 they married.
Margaret, her widowed mother
and the bicycle went to live at
the large house on the Laytons-
vile road. That same bicycle
now stands in the attic.
josiah Jones, ST., who had
once owned a number of slaves,
died at the Briers two years
before his sons wedding.
Mrs. Jones spent much of
her. time reading and all the
cooking was done by Annie Ad-
olson, a skilled Negro cook who
worked for the family for near
ly 40 years until her death
there in 1912. Mr.. Jones, who
died in 1916, was a gentleman
farmer and he and Margaret
concentrated on the social and
business end of farming.
1t was not unusual for them
Evening star., 1962-10-09

to have rs or 100 guests for
dinner. Annie, wearing a big
white bungalow apron, would
roast a batch of turkeys in her
wood-burning range. She would
put one in at a time, take il
out, and then put another in,
Annie always claimed that the
kitchen got so hot the turkeys
cooked outside of the oven.
The four daughters of Mr.
and Mrs. Jones did little on the
farm except slide down the
bannister, play, go to school
and ride horseback. Those who
did the work we're the farm
hands, a housemaid, a house
man and a general handyman
Variety of Antiques
The ride to school was 31a
miles in a horse-drawn sleigh
or buggy. The sleigh, a buggy,
blackboard and a six horse
farm wagon are still at the
Briers, but the floor of the
carriage house where they were
kept has caved in on the damp
potato and apple cellar below
Inside the white house with
the loose green shutters is an
array of old memorabilia that
could stock one of the many
antique shops that have sprung
up around Olney.

Dale Cameron Named
Head of St. EIizobeths

DR.. Dale C. Cameron, assist
ant superintendent of St. Eliza

appointed superintendent today,
replacing DR.. Winfred Over
holser, who retired last week.
Announcing the appointment,
welfare Secretary Celebrezze
said, II feel extremely fortunate
in being able to appoint a man
of DR.. Cameron's qualifications
to a position of such impor-
tance."
DR.. Cameron came to Wash
ington in 1945 as assistant chief
of the Mental Hygiene Division,
which later became the Ma
tional Institute of Mental
Health, Bethesda.
Service in Minnesota
In 1854, he resigned to be-
come medical director of the
Minnesota Department of Pub

for the administration of the
States seven mental hospitals
and four institutions for the

Senate Spurs

over legislation granting Dis
trict teachers a pay raise.
Held back, in an apparent
attempt to force a conference
on the teacher pay bill, was the

mems pay raise.
1t was possible that another
piece of District legislation
could become snarled in the
dying days of this session of
Congress. The District budget
is still tied up in conference in
a controversy over the city's
highway program.
The Senate last week passed
a teacher pay bill granting
raises averaging IA per cent at
a cost to the city of S6.2 mill
lion. The House cut the increase
to S4.2 million and also knocked
out a $4,000 pay raise for
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen.
The action by the House is
reported to have caused con-
cern to Senator Morse, Demo-
crat Of Oregon, perhaps the
school systems chief supporter
on Capitol Hill.
The Senator, although he
played no part in drafting the
pay raise legislation. has be-
come a member of the, Senate
conference team. This is be-
cause Senator Bible, chairman
of the District Committee. has
returned home to Nevada to

Kennedy Signs Bill
For D. c. Aquarium
Finest in World
Planned for Site
At Hoins Point

President Kennedy today
signed the bill authorizing
Washington's $40 million
aquarium at Hains Point.
His action moved the project
another step closer to reality.
Once an appropriation bill is
passed, it will become a cer-
tainty.
From all reports, it will be a
whale of an aquarium.
"We'll have the best in the
country" an Interior Depart
ment spokesman says.
ut will be the finest in the
world" says another flatly.
Quality aside, there is no
question that it will be the
biggest marine museum any
where. A thousand different
species of fish, maybe $4,000
in all, from guppies to small
whales, will swim around in
some 8 million gallons of fresh
and salt water, goggling fishy-
eyed at an expected 8 million
visitors a year.
The National Fisheries
Center and Aquarium" will
dwarf such tourist-titillating
tanks as Chicago's Shedd
Aquarium and San Francisco's
Steinhart, and even the flashy,
is million gallon Marineland
of the Pacific, a privately
owned fish circus in Los
Angeles.
Interior Maps Design
Interior is a little cagey
about releasing details of its
proposed aquarium, mainly be-
cause planning money tech
nically won't be available until
money is appropriated. But
actually, of course, they've been
doing enough work on it-using
fish food" funds, of all things
Ito get a good idea of what
they can get for $40 million.
The general design worked
out has a three-cornered COM
plex of round tank buildings
connected by corridors that will
permit as many as $4,000 visi-
tors to stroll through in a
continuous flow" each day,
In addition, the plans call
for a living stream" meander-
ing between two of the tank
buildings, recreating as nearly
as possible the kinds Of
l fish life that thrive in various
: rivers. There will also be
2 miniature rain forest to SAVE
: you a trip to the tropics.
Tourist amenities will not be
, lacking. A cafeteria is included
! in the plans, as is also space
: for 1000 cars.
Research Facilities
The aquarium will be more
than just a tourist attraction,
its supporters stress. 1t will,
they say, provide unparalleled
facilities for research groups
interested not only in fish
themselves but in using fish for
guinea pigs in medical research.
It is the tourist, however,
who will pay for the project.
Just how much it will cost the
fish-watchers hasn't been
worked out yet. Originally, In
terror was talking in terms of
so cents for adults and Is cents
for children, with school and
other youth groups admitted
free.
But since the Senate insisted
that the aquarium be not only
disappearing Cat an esti-
mated 100000 a year,, but
self -hquidating as well with a
30-year amortization), the fees
obviously will have to be higher.

Fuller Explanation Of Landing Law
By Karl Armstrong

In last weeks Mirror we re ported about the new king crab ping areas discovered by the Blu reau of Fisheries vessel Yaquina in the landing law area. In our Ed. Note" we made comments to the effect that the new fishing grounds were too distant for eco- homie or safe utilization by our Kodiak based fleet which must ob- serve the provisions and restric- tions of the landing law, and fur ther, that the larger-sized vessels of the foreign fleet (who are unaf- fected by the landing law) could utilize the area using methods and gear not allowed Alaskans.
 We have had a number of calls
 regarding this matter and have
 arrived at the conclusion that
 most people (including our.
 selves) and many fishermen,
 lack knowledge, and thus under.

or abolish regulations to fit the situations as they might arise from time to time," Deveau explained.
 ''The landing law, in effect, sim ply prevents the use within the state of migratory fish or shellfisn which are obtained by any means or methods prohibited to Alaskan fishermen. It leaves up to the Alaska Board of Fish and Game (the regulatory agency) the actual details of defining of areas, meth odS, gear, etc, etc. he said.
 MT. Deveau further pointed out that every coastal state in the union has landing law, and that such laws are considered neces- sary for a sensible conservation and management of any fishery in volving migratory species.
 Rep. Deveau further stated
 us that "it is my understanding that our state officials have re. ceived assurances from the Japa. nese government that their fleets will not fish for crab or shrimp on this side of the AIeu. tian Chain.

standing, of the landing law, its provisions, and its effect.

provisions, and its effect.
 ''The landing law was written as a conservation measure and came about as a direct result of research on the effect that otter trawling had on king crab stocks" we are advised by Rep. Pete Deveau who authored the bill.
 Data collected by researchers from the Alitak Bay fishery in 1854 showed that by actual count of two widely separated catches, 449 out of 1000 and 300 out of 1900 females were crushed or mortally damaged, indicating loss of approximately forty per cent of the captured females during the season. Thus out of 1,008,000 fe- males, 403,2O0 were killed out right or severely injured" Deveau said.
 Because of such research re- suits, use of otter travis for king grabbing was outlawed within state waters" said Deveau, adding, "It made little sense to outlaw the otter trawl and other destructive methods inside state waters with out attempting to make some meas ure of control over adjacent high sea area waters since the king rab is migratory by nature and moves inshore and offshore intermittent ly. The landing law gave us the effective control necessary"
 After discussing this matter with Rep Pete Deveau, who researched, wrote and sponsored the landing law in the second session of the first legislature, and reading over again carefully the provisions of the measure, we find that in and of itself, it DOES NOT present a block to a sensible expansion of our fishery efforts and that our critical comments in regard to gear, methods and areas, would be more properly directed at the reg ulatory agencies involved in the fisheries.
 The landing law DOES NOT
 itself attempt to regulate the
 fisheries insofar as setting linn
 its on gear, methods and areas
 are concerned. As Mir. Deveau pointed out, "The legislature
 felt that it should not attempt to
 write into laws the necessary regulations but rather leave the
 management and regulation of the fisheries up to the regulatory
 agency"
 "At any time it deems advise able, desirable or necessary, the regulatory board, can adopt, alter
