Nickel Firm Billed
On StockpiIe Deal
BY the Associated Press

Senator Symington, Demo-

the Senate investigation into
the So billion defense stock
piles, announced yesterday that
the Government is demanding
repayment of $1.816,s58 from
the Hanna Nickel Smelling Co.

The Symington committees
hearings on the Hanna nickel
contracts last August brought
an explosive dispute between
the Senator and George M.
Humphrey, multi millionaire
former Secretary Of the Treas

A top stockpile official said
the Government is asking re-

On Tax Plan,
Sees House0K
Muy Oppose Some
Points, But Likes
General Approach
By LEE M. COIN
Star Staff Writer


Representative Mills likes
President Kennedy's tax pro-
posals and has told the Presi-
dent there is a good chance
for House approval of the pro-
gram by early summer, in
formed sources said yesterday.
AS chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Mills is the key man on
tax legislation. Word of his
support gave a big lift to the
administrations hopes for
pushing the program through
Congress this year.
Mr.. Mills, an Arkansas Demo-
crat, had limited in December
that he might oppose the
Presidents recommendations
for tax cuts and reforms. First
interpretations of his remarks
exaggerated the negative points.
Furthermore, both the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Mills have made
concessions since early De-
cember.
The tax program ran into
opposition from an important
segment of the business COM
munity yesterday, however,
when the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce denounced
the proposals for giving too big
a share Of the benefits to low
income individuals.
Still Some Opposition
Opposition by the Chamber
could hurt the program severe
ly, because the administration
has counted on this organiza-
ton to round up business sup
port.
Mr.. Mills has not indorsed
the Presidents tax proposals in
every detail, and probably will
oppose some of the points. But
he did tell Mr.. Kennedy last
week that he was pleased BY
the general approach and did
not consider any of the recon-
mendations offensive.
"It's his kind of package, F."
an informed source said, noting
that the program goes along
with the idea of gradual rate
reductions and includes pro-
posals for raising substantial
amounts of revenue through
tax reforms.
Mr.. Mills reportedly is
pleased also because the Pres
ident has pledged to limit Fed
eral spending.
Backs Revenue Balance
The Ways and Means chair
man had indicated previously
that he might oppose rate cuts
unless the administration Off
set all or most of the revenue
losses with spending reductions
and tax reforms.
But he avoided saying fatty
that he would insist on a pre-
else, dollar-for- dollar revenue
balance. He now apparently
feels the President has come
close to his position by pro-
posing tax cuts of Sl3.6 billion
over three years, partly offset

Virginia Adding
Another REFUGE
For Waterfowl

A new waterfowl refuge is
being added to Virginia's con-
servation resources.
Chester F. Phelps, executive
director Of the State Game
Commission, has announced the
commission is purchasing sos
acres Of land and surface ease
ments on an additional 300
acres along the shores of the
new CASTOR R eservoir in
Southside, Va.
The land is being purchased
from S. G. Farrar who has re-
served a year to hquidate his
farming operations. The refuge
will be known as the Elm Hill
Wildlife Management Area.
The Commission hopes to
build up a siza Bile goose and
duck population in the are a
which now has very II mite d
waterfowl shooting. Dick Cross,
game division chief, said that
new reservoirs nearly always
attract numbers of waterfowl
which feed on n ewly sub
merged plants. Game officials
hope the new refuge will bring
these birds back year afte r
year.
The commission recently has
C o mpleted arrangements to
purchase 4,811 acres of Fairy
stone Farms adjacent to the
Philpott Reservoir in South
west Virginia. The area adjoins
ALSO acres of public hunting
land belonging to the Army
Corps Of Engineers, also on the
shores of Philpott.
Fairystone has been man
aged as a public hunting area
in past years through a Coop

Suppose you are a sailing
skipper and suddenly found
you had lost your rudder. Could
you manager And If you an
swer yes, do you think you
could ge for six days
while fighting gale winds in
the Atlantic?
Bill Seger and his fellow
crewmen on the 57-foot yawl
Dyna found that they could
manage and even salvage a
respectable place in q Trans
Atlantic race under this SEEM
ingly impossible handicap.
1T was one of the greatest
sailing lessons 1 ever had. "
Seger says in telling about 1t.
Seger, who is q veteran In
sailing circles around the Ches-
apeake Bay area-he was in
his first Presidents Cup sailing
regatta at the age Of 8-was up
from his home in Oxford, Nd,
recently and was questioned
about the stormy passage dur
ing the Transatlantic race
that started from Newport last
June 80 and headed for the
Eddystone Light in the English
Channel, 3,10O miles away.
Piles Up Big Lead
I'VE started in light, foggy
weather that continue d for
about 10 days and then we had
gone through two gales without
incident" Seger said.
by that time we were 265
miles ahead of the Undine and
we thought we possibly could
win the thing.
"A gale was building on July
IL, but on the morning of July
10, we put on more sail because
it was moderating. But at 6:45
am. the Dyna preached and
rounded into the wind. We
started getting the sail off as
fast as we could and then we
found that we had no rudder.
THE fitting at the bottom of

the keel had bent and the rud-
der slipped off.
Il always had heard stories
about vessels losing rudders but
here 1t happened to one I was
on. And at that point we were
1000 miles from England.
segar said the IL aboard the
Dyns put our ideas into the
pot on how to steer without a
rudder. And we learned by trial
and error"
Eventually they came up
with q complicated device as
an EN- ergency rudder that
came to be known as 1.-The
Device" or the 'Fiendish Mon
ster."
But by the time the Dyna's
crew had completed building
THE Device" trial and error
had taught them how to steer
by trimming their sails in diff
ferent ways, so THE Device"
was given a short test to prove
that it really would work and
then was held in reserve in
case it was needed in a real
emergency.
Another Blow Hits
But perhaps the greatest
emergency was occurring while
the crew feverishly was trying
to complete building THE De-
vice" During its construction
n u d derless Dyna was going
through its third gale that
brought winds of 80 to 40
knots.
But by that time the trial
and error method had them SO
well versed in steering by sail

fairly good shape.

FISH IN STRANGE WATERS
40-Inch Cobio 7 aiken
At Railroad Bridge

You can never tell where a
fish is going to turn up. A 40
inch cobia has been taken from
the Potomac at the railroad
bridge, and along with him a
number of nice rockfish. Who
knows what the waters here at
home would yield if they
weren't polluted2
The cobia fell victim to
James Miles of 5246 Forty-sec-
ond street, NV, and his spin
ming rod equipped with a brand
new 10-pound test line. But the
cobia scored a Pyrrhic victory.
Miles spinning reel is on the
shelf with badly stripped gears
and a busted bail.
For two years Miles and I. c.
Martin of Cabin John have
been getting good catches of
rockfish at the railroad bridge
at night during September and
early October. Miles believes
the lights on the bridge attract
the fish to this area.
The night before the cobia
incident they caught 81 rock
fish that ranged from 10 to %
inches. This night they were
not doing so well, alth gu 6 h
they had 16 fish.
Miles said his line got slight
ly twisted so he thought of
putting a live rockfish, about 8
inches long, on the line and
letting him swim out in an eff
fort to straighten it.
He recalled that a tug boat
had just passed upstream when
he put the rockfish in the wa
ter. The rock took off about 100
feet of line, he said, when

Fishing Club, an unusual organ
ization Of anglers. is winding
up its most successful season.
Organized In 1857 by a group
in the Bureau Of Ships who

From the small group that
started in 1857 the club has
grown to a membership of 96
men and women. Anyone in the
Bureau is eligible to join, but
the club has taken in some as
sociates who were sponsored by
BuShips employe-members.
Swap Fish Stores
Monthly meetings are held to
transact necessary business
and to swap fish stories. Movies
and slides made by fishing ex-
perts sometimes are shown, as
well as those Of club trips.
Trips, as a club, have been
made to Chesapeake Bay, Bar
negat, N. j., Ocean City. Md,
Morehead City, N. c.. Wacha-
preague and Chincoteague, Va.
In addition to fishing as a
group the club encourages indi-
viduals and small groups to
participate in all types of fish
ing, including the active fresh
water fishermen. An annual
fish fry is held for members
and their families.
Awards Presented
Awards and trophies are pre-
