Letter to Editor
By Norbert V. Long

Dear Sir,
Pm just writing to give you
my new address and rank which
is above, changes were made
last month.
1t seems like I'm not the only
one in Germany anymore.
Now l got somebody to talk to
in Indian, that's my brother
Felix, who's up here in Germ
any with me on the same post,
which is a surprise, but in diff
ferent units, but still close to-
gether on post. Nobody believes
that he is my brother because
we both end up in Germany on
the same post. Just a little diff
ferent jobs in the Army - he
is a gunner on a tank and I'm
night baker.
For both of us over here,
everything is going smooth so
far, but we still miss San Carlos
lot, which we talk about every
time we sit down to have a
German beer. We both hope
to be back soon.
So for now, just keep the
Drumbeat coming, you're doing
good job on the paper. Keep
up the good work. Goodbye for
now, until l see the next Drum

Approves of Fish
Plan by Senator

DR. F. c. Robinson, Uniontown,
Pa, in letter to Senator Spencer
w. Graham, voiced approval of
the latter's efforts in improving
fish conditions in Deep Creek
Lake. He writes:
Dear Senator:
In this weeks Republican | saw
where you were taking an interest
in the fishing in Deep Creek Lake.
For this many of us will be thank
full
In 1916 / bought cottage at the
lake and before that | had fished
at Browning Dam, near GAINESVILLE,
from 1912 until 1881. So you see
my interest in fishing in Garrett
county extends over a long period
of time.
In 1916 and for several years
thereafter the fishing in the lake
was rather good and very seldom
would we come in without some
bass. This picture has changed
and very few bass. either small
mouth or large mouth, are being
caught.
The Fish Commission felt that
one of the things that was hurting
the fishing was the enormous num-
Der of Perch in the lake, and after
a consultation with fish biologists
from Eastern United States they
decided to put in pike and picker
ell True, this cut down on the
number of perch, but it has done
little or nothing to improve the
fishing
Ten or fifteen years ago the
shore-line across the lake from my
cottage was dotted with fisher
men most every evening. For the
last two years there have been
very few and often for several
days you would see none at all
This meant that they had lost in
terest in fishing as the rewards
were too meager.
l have had several meetings
with Mr.. Barry and also with Dr.
Elser, biologist for the state, and
/ have insisted that the only fair
thing to do was to stock large
mouth Bass each year, even if it
we're a put and take" proposition.
These can be bought at very
reasonable figure and it would be
the most economical method of
improving the fishing until their
long-range program could become
operative. | have found that most
real fishermen much prefer bass
or trout fishing to fishing for pike
or pickerel and most of these men
have become disguised with fish
ing and do very little.
l hope that you can accomplish
something in this effort of yours
and be sure we will be roofing for
you.
Sincerely,
F. c. ROBINSON

Joint Committee Will
Talk Car Inspection

Gov. Tawes and legislative
leaders agreed Tuesday to let
joint senate-house task force work
out plan for compulsory auto
mobile inspection which might win
approval of the Maryland legisIa-
ture.
The committee, consisting of
four senator's and four delegates,
was scheduled to begin work this
week. 1t was expected to come up
with some type of plan calling for
strict supervision of automobile
inspection, whether performed by
private individuals or state units.
The original legislative council
proposal to build state stations at
an initial cost of some Sc million,
apparently is rejected.
The House killed another key
traffic safety proposal which
would have required Maryland
motorists to take an alcohol test if
they were suspected of drunken
driving. Superintendent of state
police had called auto inspection
and the tougher drunken driving
proposal the most important traf-
fic safety measures at this session.
The house voted 80 to 40 against
a favorable report.
Chemical tests are now voluntary
for drivers suspected of intoXica-
ton. The superintendent had
earlier told Legislators that I'M
marked police cars have been on
patrol since last October in step
to reduce accidents and that the
number would be increased to Ill.
He said they we're not attempting
to crack down on casual violatorS

Managing The News.

When it comes to managing the
news, The Kennedy administration
has 10 equal. Just a couple of
weeks ago the President reported
via television on his first two
years in office The program was
filmed in advance and carefully
edited by Mr.. Kennedy.
In his continuing policy of
spoon-feeding the American pco-
pic with only the tidbits which the
White House wants to dish out,
we now have press associations
and White House correspondents
describing President Kennedy's
views on world events for 1863.
But the formal is the indirect
approach. The President is not
quoted directly. He is said to be-
lieVe that the Cuban missile crisis
taught Russia a lesson, that there is
no dependable evidence that Rus
STA wants a climate of better rela-
lions with the West, that this coun-
try has no plans of invading Cuba.
These views are the outgroWth
of conversations in Palm Beach.
His associates responsible for this
report we are told, ARE clearly
authoritative"
This method is another example
of Mr.. Kennedy isolating himself
from the no-holds-barred form of
press conference. The people are
rot told what questions the Presi-
dent declines to answer They are
informed only on subjects which
the chief executive cares to bring
up.
Is the President satisfied that
all offensive weapons have been
removed from Cuba? How can he

Lauds Commissioners
German, Maryland

German, Maryland
To the Editor:
In reply to a request in the letter
last week by Mr. r. G. Weinel, of
Accident, concerning the 1863 levy
of taxes. we note the following:
Mr. Weinel castigates the county
commissioners for most ire
sponsiblc piece of doing" Here
are our views on this. Two of the
commissioners, Mr.. Swartzentru-
Der and Mr. Paugh, have been
known to us personally for many
years. responsibility has never
been a notable trait of either of
these men We do not know Mr.
Opel personally, apparently he also
is believed to be responsible
person. The job of levying taxes
can't be an easy one and often is
thankless one.
Our county roads board has been
running at a deficit for the past
nine years. Our present county
commissioners are now presenting
us with a due-bill Apparently
they rightly feel that projects of
dubious value should best be paid
for early in their inception while
it is still possible to curtail them
if necessary for the future They
do not want to spend money which
they don't have, or hope to collect
in taxes: nor do they want to tax
people who do not yet exist. Their
status symbol appears to be PAY
as we go, or get off and walk.
May it always be SOL The heritage
of Messrs. Paugh, Swartzentruber,
and probably also Mr.. Opel, of
thrift, industry, and responsibility,
allows them no other course.
Mr. Weinel deplores the fiscal
policies of the federal government
and points with diSdain to our
neighboring states for their ire
sponsible actions. Would he have
us join them by going in debt for
unnecessary expenses? Evidently
our commissioners like to see
Maryland, and particularly Garrett
county, on pay-as-We-go basis
rather than adopt policy that al
lows debts to pile up.
Mr.. SWartZentrubcr has previous
ly made several suggestions for i'm
proving our county government.
Some that appear to us to be
worthy of consideration, but which
have not been used are as follows:
ID Staggered terms for county
commissioners.
% Putting chairman of county
commissioners on a full-time basis,
instead of increasing salaries of
all commissioners.
g Use of bennett Road school
as a junior high school instead of
an entirely new building.
Perhaps Mr. Weinel, or some
one else might be interested in in
vestigating these suggestions. No
person wishes to see
Garrett county fail to grow and
We prefer to see the wet
blanket" used to curb our insani-
ties rather than used for swaddling
clothes for future heirs and as
signs.
