Fisheries Committee Chairman Describes Work of Division J Council of Slate Okays $500,0110 Loan to Railroad ; The Council of State Friday ctaared its side of the path for a $300,000 loan to the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad. Now it is up to the Interstate Commerce Commission to approve the loan be fore the money can be made avail able to the road. 72 per cent of whose stock is owned by the State. Authorized by an act of the 1951 General Assembly, the half-million dollar loan is to enable the road to replace approximately 20 miles ? of track, now laid with 60-pound nils, with 85-pound rails, and to replace the foundation of a draw bridge over the Trent river at New Bern. An advance loan of $93,000 al ready has been made to enable the railroad to buy a new diesel engine. The Council also passed a resolu tion authorizing the Governor to lhake the remainder of the money ' available to the A&NC when the KC approves the loan. The A&NC directors, meeting recently in forehead City, put in a formal re quest for the money. Governor Scott said he would follow the wishes of the directors in determin ing when the actual cash transfer would take place. The road has to start paying interest from the time it receives the loan, he point ed out. It will be up to the Council to aet the interest rate, but the rate was not decided Friday. In the 1past, when the State loaned the road money, the loan carried a three per cent interest rate. The AfcNC line from Morehead City to Goldsboro is operated on a lease by the Atlantic & East Caro lina railroad, which pays $60,500 per year rental plus a portion of its gross income. The 1951 Genera] Assembly was told that the half-million-dollar loan is needed to put the road into ?r.ape to handle the heavier traf fic resulting from expansion of the Marine Air base at Cherry Point and expected to result from de velopment of State port facilities at Morehead City. The loan will come from the general fund. Lisas Mm! Thursday ,'Af Capt.

Mrs. Roland McClamroch, chair man of the commercial fisheries committee of North Carolina, spoke Friday at Ahoskie following a hear ing conducted there by the com mercial fisheries committee. Although she outlined the activi ties of the Board of Conservation and Development as a whole, she gave a more detailed description of the commercial fisheries division, which appears below: "The division of commercial fish eries is charged with enforcing laws, in making regulations to keep open tW passage of fish, to keep open inlets, and to keep open not less than one-third .of the width of all sounds and streams. It is charged with making such rules as may be necessary to procure sta tistics on the annual products of the fisheries of the State and to publish them. They are charged with the collection of license fees. Their duty is also to carry dn in vestigation and research for the betterment of the industry. "Well, since we have no scientist in our division, it is necessary to look elsewhere for help and ad vice. North Carolina is extremely fortunate in having three top flight research agencies within a couple of miles of our main office: The Government Fisheries laboratory at Pivers Island, the Duke University laboratory and the Institute of Fisheries Research of the Universi ty of North Carolina. The latter as another State institution has been called upon many times by the department. The department has furnished funds from time to time to help carry out requested investigations. We could not do without them. They are now plan ning a marketing survey and when the results of this are available we hope it will give a big boost to the prosperity of the fishing industry. "The Committee of Commercial Fisheries has a big job ahead. "We want to continue to come to the people and get their sugges tions and advice. "We want to continue the exam ination of the present rules and regulations ? as we are trying to get away from purely local legisla tion and sectionalism and working towards general laws keeping in mind the needs of the industry as a whole. "We want to further serve the fishing industry by printing and sending out publications on the ac tivities of the division and give out information on new equipment and methods of interest to fishermen. "We want to remove unnecessary restraints and give approval to any improved techniques that may be developed for catching fish, but al ways keeping in mind the principle of conservation.

Weaver, Jr. Last Saturday a stocky German sea captain guided the Lucy Ess bcrger, a 2,554-ton freighter into the port terminal at Morehead City. The Lucy Essberger, named in honor of the owner's mother, was built last year in Hamburg, Ger many. It docked here in order to take on fuel oil, then went on to Wilmington where it discharged its cargo of potash, Monday. Tomor row the ship will load up with coal at Newport News, Va., then steam back to Hamburg. After being commissioned, the Lucy Essberger plied the Mediter ranean ports until it made its first Atlantic crossing last month. This is its second. The vessel has a crew of 26. In addition, it carried 11 passengers, five of whom are women. One of the male passengers is a young German majoring in geology at the University of North Carolina. "He speaks American good," comment ed one of the crew. At the ship's helm stands 51 ycar-old Capt. Wilhem Rogl. He does not think kindly of his small vessel. Its meager tonnage and small crew are a big come-down for a skipper accustomed to the roll of a 10,000-ton transport. The fact, however, that Captain Rogl. who speaks English very well, is in charge of any sea worthy vessel, speaks highly of his ability as well as his anti-Nazi character. For only in the last two years have the occupational author ities permitted the Bonn govern ment to begin rebuilding Ger many's shattered merchant marine. There are thousands of pre-war sailors still vying for positions on ships now under construction. Lives at Hamburg When the captain is ashore, he lives in Hamburg with his wife and daughter. The daughter, 21, majors in languages at the Uni versity of Hamburg. But Herr Rogl is not a true Ham burger. His boyhood home was Stuttgart. There he attended school and graduated from the gymnasium? a kind of junior col See GfcRMAN, rue ( Rotarians Hear Dr. Frank Hall J The Arab world of the near east is in turmoil because it finds in its midst a new progressive state, Israel, said Dr. Frank Hall to Morehead City Rotarians, Thursday night. Dr. Hall recently returned from a tour of the turbulent orient where he studied conditions under the sponsorship of the United States government. Premier Mohammed Mossadegh of Iran, Dr. Hall contends, cannot compromise with the British gov ernment over the Iranian oil dis pute, for such a move would mean his quick assassination. The meeting was held in the Sunday school rooms of the Bap tist church. Dr. Gene Roelofs play ed the piano for songs led by Robert Taylor. Visiting Rotarians were H. Gait Braxton, Kinston; James McChes ney, Goldsboro; Henry Edwards, Newport; J. C. Cooper. Henderson. T. Allen Buck. Weldon; Dr. R. M. Cox, Portsmouth, Va.; B. E. Stephenson, Rich Square, and Tom Taylor, Roanoke. College Course J Opens Next Month Cherry Point. ?

(Bill) Wells and other shrimpers of Southport were ex pected to pay their $1.50 per gross ton tax on boats yesterday or else let their vessels be seized by the state. Southport shrimpers have been balking at payment ol the tax for the past two months. The Board of Conservation and Development, in session Friday at Bayboro. ruled that unless the tax were paid, regulation 173, provid ing for seizure of boats for neglect to pay taxes, would be invoked. The board also named C. D. Kirkpalrick, law enforcement of ficer of the commercial fisheries division, as fisheries commissioner and successor to Capt. John Nel son of Gloucester. His designation, however, will remain "chief law enforcement officer" and the board stated that search for a man "with scientific^ training" for the post would be continued. Kirkpatrick has been serving as chief law enforcement officer sincc the retirement of Captain Nelson July 1, 1950. Mrs. Roland McClamroch. chair informed the commercial fisheries committee, stated that 90 per cent of the shrimpers have paid the $1.50 per gross ton tax and Pam lico shrimpers who attended the hearing said they thought the tax was fair. S. Bunn Frink, senator from Southport, presented a petition re questing that the state return to the former taxation method of $5 per boat. $5 per net, and 15 cents per hundred pounds of shrimp, but Attorney General Harry McMullan informed the commrecial fisheries committee that taxes could not be changed by regulation. The board also passed a regula tion which will bar wire traps and fike nets in the Chowan River from Keel's Creek to the Virginia line. It (aid that catfish traps set at liail etfcS. led, below tfm aurf .ee of the water and pound nets with lead lines at lea*t 25 yards from the shore (till will be permitted in the area, however. The restric tiona were made at the request of sports fishermen, who complained at a hearing in Ahoskie Friday morning that commercial fishing was injuring sports fishing in the section. Charles Jenkins, member of the fisheries committee, and Mrs. Mc Clamroch were named to confer with the wildlife resources commis sion on moving the commercial game fish line in Indiantown creek, Currituck county and the regula tion specifying placement of nets in Albemarle sound, Dare county, was also changed. Pamlico oystcrmen requested that the oyster season be changed from Oct. 1-March 1 to Oct. la to March 15, but no action was taken. Navy Proposes Two Air Strips Cherry Point. ? Two auxiliary landing strips for the Marine Corps Air Station have been proposed for Wilmington. N. C , and Beaufort, S. C., according to the U. S. Navy Public Works proposed authoriza tion, and appropriation for 1952. Also slated for construction in North Carolina are additional heli copter facilities to be located at Peterfield Point, Camp Lejeune. Additional development to sup port jet operations at the Marine Corp? Air station, Cherry Point is planned. Training and advance base gear facilities have also been proposed. / State Paroles Commissioner Grants Melvin Hancock 60-Day Reprieve ' Jaycees Denounce Ku Klnx Klan > Four Morehead City Jaycees Attend Board Meeting at Rocky Mount Morehead City Jaycees Jimmy Wallace, Dr. Russell Outlaw, P.

She told police that she started in 1948 to visit Clark on weekends. She also stated at the time of her confession that she was 16 years of age which would have meant that her relationship with Clark began when she was 13. The girl did not come to Beau fort the weekend of Aug. 18 as she usually does, she told police, but arrived instead on Monday, Aug. 20. When she walked into the place she said there was another woman there.

(API Western Union got permission to day to jack up its rates enough to produce $8,800,000 more in reve nue per year. The company wanted $11,000,000, but the Federal Communications commission would not agree to that amount. A wage increase effective July 1 was the basis of the company's re quest for higher rates. The commission authorized the company to file new schedules to yield $9,800,000. The commission will look them over before decid ing whether to let them go into effect. While steering clear of specific rates for the most part, the FCC did authorize: 1. An increase in the minimum money order premium (above reg ular telegraph charges) from IS to 25 centa. 2. Abandonment of the old 10 word minimum message charge for straight telegrams. For straight telegrams, 15 words would be per mitted; for night letters, 50 words instead of 25. There would be no change in the present 50-word al lowance for day letters. 3. A new formula for an increase in preu rates.
