Conservation Board Row Breaks Out Anew in May
Aboard bylaw tensions surfaced at a Maryland meeting of the State Tidewater Fisheries Commission as George T. Harrison demanded “Immediate Proceedings” to reveal the reasons for Captain Amos S. Creighton’s demotion. He challenged Chairman John Clark and Allan A. Solers, accusing officials of improper actions and seeking clarification amid a boardroom confrontation. A separate lawsuit in Circuit Court, brought by Stella C. Hell against Charles W. Zahn, executor of the late Dr. William David Hammond, seeks 7500 over services rendered with venue changes from Washington to Allegany then Frederick. In national notes, Senator Magnuson said President Truman will tour the Pacific Northwest for a June 12 speech at the University of California in Berkeley. In market news, strike jitters again pulled stock prices for key rails and industrials lower.
