Skin Divers Aid
In Coast Census
OF Sport Fish

Skin-diving members of the
American Littoral Society are
counting fish off the coasts of
Maryland and Virginia this
week to see what sport fish
are available to the in-shore
fisherman.
Their census Is part of an
in-shore fish count being con-
Quoted by 70 diving teams Of
the society in 16 coastal States.
Called the Memorial Day
Fish Count" the census ac-
tually began last Saturday and
will continue through Monday.
Volunteers identify, count and
record fish, listing as many as
they can find during the nine
day period.
This is the first of three
major counts. Others will be
held on the 4th Of July and on
Labor Day. The counts are sent
to the Interior Department,
which says comparisons of the
counts may tell a lot about
fish migration and concen-
tration.
A pilot study was held last
summer. Twenty-four teams
counted $4,000 fish of SO spe-
cies ranging in size up to L.

Increase in Foirfox Tax
Whitfield Down15Cents

The tax increase needed to
finance Fairfax County's pro-
posed $75.4 million budget will
be is cents less than was antic-
ipated. County Executive Carl
ton c. Massey told the Board
of County Supervisors yester-
day.
Mr.. Massey said that because
of revised estimates in real es-
tate assessment values Gnd a
budget surplus from the cur
rent year, a tax increase Of 73
cents on the tax rate would be
required for the budget as cur
rently proposed, rather than the
SO cents initially announced.
The board met yesterday to
study the budget and plans to
resume today with the hope
of completing deliberations.
The budget, as originally pro-
posed by Mr.. Massey, called for
a tax rate Of $3.50 per 500 Of
assessed valuation for real
estate, compared to the present
So rate.
The personal property tax
rate Of $3.75 also would have
gone up SO cents under original
estimates, but now will have to
be increased only 73 cents,
according to Mr.. Massey.
The figures cited by the
County Executive apply to the
budget as proposed, but the

Administration refusal to talk

Pennsylvania. instead Of
losing three seats, would drop
only two under an increase to
438 seats. The State already has
redistricted, but the Legislature
could review its action before
this years elections. If it does,
one seat now held by a Repub-
lican may be salvaged. And one
Republican and one Democrat
ic seat probably would be sac
rificed.
Missouri would lose no seats

Democratic seats would be lost.

An effective job of legisla-
tive craftsmanship has made it
almost certain that Congress
soon will vote to increase the
membership of the House from
ABS to 438 seats.
Net result of the increase
would be that Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania and Missouri
would lose one less House seat.
Massachusetts is the home
State of House Speaker Nc
Cormack. He generally is
credited with having engineered
the agreement for the increase
in his first major maneuver
since he replaced the late Sam
Rayburn of Texas as head of
the House.
Members from Is States due
to lose House seats next year be-
cause the 1860 census showed
that their population gain did
not keep abreast of the national
rate tried for months last year
to work out legislation to in
crease the membership. They
could reach no agreement be-
cause to take care of all OF
them would have required a
House membership in excess
of 500.

and Missouri would be the only
beneficiaries under the in.
crease because one each of theil
seat losses was borderline un-
der the population ratio.

until next year is 437, to pro-
vide a seat apiece for Hawaii
