Board Hopes to Keep Foreign' Shrimpers Out Cecil Morris, Atlantic, was4 named at the weekend meeting of the Board of Conservation and De velopment, to succeed Eric W. Rodgers as head of the commercial fisheries committee. Mr. Rodgers has accepted the position as assistant to the director of the board, Ben Douglas. The new job of special assistant pays $8,592 a year. No rtne was named to replace Mr. Morris as a commit tee member. The Board of Conservation and Development held its spring meet ing at Wilmington Thursday, Fri day and Saturday. Action was taken to keep shrimp ers from other states out of North Carolina inland waters although it is not known whether the regula tion adopted is legally permissible. The board ruling declares that anyone taking shrimp out of state controlled waters will be punished by a fine and the confiscation .of the catch unless such shrimp trawler or boats that are owned by non-residents pay this state the usual fees imposed on Tar Heel shrimpers. Deny Privileges Further shrimping privileges would be denied any non-resident shrimper seeking to operate in in land commercial waters of the state if the state of which he is a resident prohibits North Carolina shrimpers from operating in the in land waters of that state. Mr. Rodgers said the recent U. S. Supreme Court decision in the tjd&Unds oil case involving sub merged lands gives states certain controls over marine resources in waters within their territorial bor ders and that these resources in clude fish, shrimp and oysters. He recalled a previous Supreme Court ^Kision had prohibited barring of -stale fishermen from operat ing in inland waters of other states. Governor Approves In giving approval to Mr. Rod gers' proposal, Governor Umstead said, "I am no longer my own law yer, but it appears that where there are conflicting court opinions, the last one is the one I usually take." Mr. Rodgers has stated from time to time that he is seeking to keep as many out-of-state shrimp ers from North Carolina's inland waters as he legally can and thus leave the shrimp catches to Tar Heel shrimpers. Mr. Rodgers has estimated the value of shrimp taken from state waters last year at $2,000,000. To Keep Land Regarding the proposed sale of section base property owned by the board at Morehead City, the board voted that all land at the base be retained and that consideration be given to placing a new heating plant in a small portion of the kitchen wing adjacent to the main building. Changes In oyster tax laws effec tive Jan. 1, 1954. make oysters tax able at 8 cents per bushel when taken from private as well as pub lic beds. A subcommittee composed of Henry Rankin, Fayetteville, chair man; Charles H. Jenkins, Ahoakie, and Morris was named to repre sent the board in working out con flicting fishing laws with the State Wildlife Resources Commission. Gehrmann Holland, Beaufort, as sistant fisheries commissioner, told the board that he felt it was time for someone to define exactly what a commercial fisherman is. He re ferred to cases where state patrol boats flag down craft loaded with fish, shrimp or oysters and the men aboard claim they don't have to pay a tax, because they're "Just taking this home to put In the deep-freese." The fisheries officisl said his of fice is having a lot of trouble with such people who call themaelves "sport (Mermen." Mr. Rodgers ssid that there is s Isw defining what a commercial fisherman is, but he said apparent ly the time haa come for a re-defin ing and be laid the job at the door of the general assembly.
