The State Board of Conservation and Development, with its chair man Governor Luther H. Hodges, presiding, got this word in a re port submitted by Director Wil liam P. Saunders of the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment as it opened its two-day summer meeting yesterday at the Morehead Biltmore Hotel.

J. Reynolds Tobacco Company at Winston-Sa lem, amounted to approximately $59,000,000.

The request was put before the committee, which is headed by Ce cil Morris of Atlantic, at a spe cial meeting Saturday of the group at the Section Base. It was offered in the form of a resolution by the North Carolina Fisheries Association's president, Garland Fulcher of Oriental. Mr. Fulcher asserted that the dumping of shrimp beads into slow moving sound waters not only tend to pollute them because of "a more violent chemical reaction" than with other species of dead finfish or shellfish tossed over the side. This chemical reaction, Mr. Ful cher noted in the resolution, serves to kill off or seriously impair fish ing grounds and cause threats to public health. W. W. lludnell, Jack Mason and Randolph Hardy, commercial fish ermen of Oriental, disputed their fellow townsman's contentions that the shrimp heads arc as dangerous as Mr. Fulcher claimed. "If you're going to do this, why not prohibit the throwing over the side of all dead finfish and shell fish?" Mr. lludnell asked. State Fisheries Commissioner Gehrmann Holland intimated that adoption of such a regulation as required by the Fisheries Associa tion would serve to greatly in crease the duties of the patrol See FISHERIES.
