Budget Commission Visits
Morehead Port Wednesday
Oyster Report
Given Monday
To Advisors
Referred Monday at Wilmington
to the advisory board of the state
commercial fisheries committee
was the oyster report from the
North Carolina Fisheries Associa
tion.
The advisory board is to con
sider the report and present its
findings to the commercial fish
eries committee at the Conserva
tion and Development board meet
ing at Asheville in October.
The report, aired at a public
hearing at Morehead City last Sat
urday, found fault with much of
the way the state's oyster rehabil
itation program is being carried
out.
Dr. A. F. Chestnut, director of
the Institute of Fisheries Research,
who with C. G. Holland, commer
cial fisheries commissioner, super
Vises the oyster program, said of
the report following the Saturday
hearing, "It is unfortunate that
the actual truth is not in this thing.
Here are a few people posing as
spokesman for the North Carolina
oyster industry."
The report was based on opinions
of oystermen at a series of five
meetings held along the coast, plus
questionnaires which the NCFA
said it sent to oystermen.
The commercial fisheries coiii
mittee said that the no-Saturdty
shrimping regulation would not be
changed. Persons cannot shxlntp
after S a.m. Saturday.
Also rejected was a request to
permit use of gill nets in Albe
marle Sound west of the Norfolk
Southern railroad bridge, for the
taking of rockfish and shad.
Approved was a proposal to pro
hibit the use of power-propelled
oyster dredges in New River, On
?low County.
The committee told Florida
shrimpers they can buy North
Carolina licenses to shrimp in
North Carolina waters under the
reciprocal agreement between the
two states, but that they must not
have a count of more than 70
shrimp to the pound they take.
There is no restriction on file
pound count in Florida waters.
The Conservation and Develop- 1
ment Board in its closing sessibn r
at Wilmington Tuesday expressed
"interest" in the joint proposal of 1
the All-Seashore Highway Asoscta- r
tion and the Southeastern North <
Carolina Beach Association for ? t
program designed on a long-rartje i
basts to make numerous improfe
ments to the Outer Banki. (
Included therein is a recommit- ?
dation for an independent NoAif i
Carolina Waterways Commission. (

Morehead City (AP) ? Ample

he secret for building up tobacco
hipments, state ports director D.
.eon Williams told the Advisory
ludget Commission Wednesday on

Skyray Jet Gets
New Accessories
By 8/SGT. JACK BAIRD
Cherry Point? The combat capa
bilities of Marine All-Weather
Fighter Squadron-114, a tactical
unit of the Second Marine Aircraft
Wing, have been greatly increased
here with the adoption of two new
accessories on their F4D "Skyray"
jet aircraft.
The new equipment consists of
a rocket pod containing seven 2.75
"mighty-mouse" rockets, and a
firing error indicator (FEI), which
is used to photograph hits made
with the rockets on targets.
The new rocket pods are carried
on the racks located on
the underside of the F4D's wings,
and are fired by the pilot. This
method ii dependably accurate,
even when engaging a high speed
target, thereby greatly increasing
the "kill" probability of the squad
ron.
The firing error Indicator has
undergone extensive evaluation by
Westinghouse Electric Company at
Patuxeht River, Maryland. Cur
rently being installed in VMF(AW)
114 aircraft, the FEI is used pri
marily for (coring air-to-air rocket
firing it high speeds.
The sysifeitt utilizes an exterior
camera pod with a 16 MM camera
with a telephoto lens. The camera
if apecially wired by the squad
ron's electric shop under the di
rection of T/Sgt. D. T. Wilson to
operate automatically when the
radar fires the external rockets'
packages.
With the use of the FEI, the
squadron in flying ita new high
speed, high altitude, F4D "Sky
rays" win be able to accurately
evaluate rocket firing practices.
To quote VMF(AW)-114's Ordnance
Shop camera man, S/Sgt. J. V.
Srymkowski, "Tl* FEI la a fool
iiroof contribution to Marine avia
tion."
