Called the “Memorial Day” Fish Count, the census actually began last Saturday and will continue through Monday. Volunteers identify, count, and record fish, listing as many as they can find during the nine-day period. This is the first of three major counts. Others will be held on the 4th of July and on Labor Day. The counts are sent to the Interior Department, which says comparisons of the counts may tell a lot about fish migration and concentration. A pilot study was held last summer. Twenty-four teams counted 23,000 fish of 93 species ranging in size up to 12-foot tiger sharks.

THE EVENING STAR Washington, D.C., Thursday, May 31, 1962 started smoking. He had to summon the Mount Rainier Fire Department to put out the fire. The fleeing motorcyclist, who police said had passed through some 25 red lights in Washington before crossing the District line into Maryland, continued out Rhode Island avenue until a Prince George County police car caught up with him on Baltimore boulevard near Queens Chapel road. He was identified by police as Jack James Reemsnyder, 21-year-old coin changer in a Washington penny arcade who lives in the 5700 block of Eighteenth avenue in the Chillum Heights (Md.) area of the county. Police said the chase reached speeds of more than 80 miles an hour before it ended about 11 a.m. District police said Reemsnyder had been stopped by a scout car in the vicinity of Twelfth street and Constitution avenue N.W. He took off on the motorcycle after handing over his registration card to the policemen who halted him, police said. Pvt. West and another motorcycle patrolman, Pvt. R.P. Whalen, picked up the chase on Thirteenth Street N.W., and headed toward Logan Circle and on out Rhode Island Avenue after him, they reported. County police set up a road block where Rhode Island Avenue and Baltimore Boulevard merge at the railroad overpass in Hyattsville, but the motorcycle skirted around that and Pvt. Edward Brink joined in pursuit. Pvt. Brink was the one who finally caught the motorcyclist and placed four charges against him—speeding in excess of 70 showers. Visibility of about 8 miles will lower briefly in showers. River Report Potomac River clear at Harper’s Ferry and slightly muddy at Great Falls. Shenandoah clear at Harper's Ferry.

Liquor Law Revision Meets New Obstacles A bill to revise drastically a 1934 law controlling the liquor industry in the District continued to meet objections today. Lee Loevinger, assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s antitrust division, told a House District Subcommittee sections of the bill unnecessarily restrain private enterprise. He said the department also objected to a section of the bill which would create a monopoly for District liquor wholesalers in supplying the retail trade. Representative Multer, Democrat of New York, head of the subcommittee and author of the bill, ended the hearings today by saying the bill would be redrafted in certain places. “We're going to make this a good bill," Mr. Multer commented. The bill's controversial sections would prohibit price advertising of alcoholic beverages and establish a floor on liquor prices.

Massey told the Board of County Supervisors yesterday. Mr. Massey said that because of revised estimates in real estate assessment values and a budget surplus from the current year, a tax increase of 73 cents on the tax rate would be required for the budget as currently proposed, rather than the 88 cents initially announced. The board met yesterday to study the budget and plans to resume today with the hope of completing deliberations. The budget, as originally proposed by Mr. Massey, called for a tax rate of $3.88 per $100 of assessed valuation for real estate, compared to the present $3 rate. The personal property tax rate of $3.75 also would have gone up 88 cents under original estimates, but now will have to be increased only 73 cents, according to Mr. Massey. The figures cited by the County Executive apply to the budget as proposed, but the supervisors are certain to make numerous cuts before they give 6-Year Sentence. Caps Case Row Tham Cheng, 58, of the 800 block of Sixth street N.W., convicted by a Montgomery County Circuit Court Jury last month of assault with intent to kill, was sentenced to six years in the Maryland Penitentiary today. Tham, who has been in county jail since his arrest last December, was sentenced by Judge Thomas M. Anderson. The charges stemmed from the wounding of Tham’s two partners in the Sun Wo Restaurant on Colesville road, Silver Spring. Police charged that Tham shot the men and assaulted the restaurant manager in an argument over business procedures. Mr. Loevinger, opposing both of these sections, said the department would be ready to support the bill if these sections and others were either dropped or redrafted. Representative Springer, Republican of Illinois, again described the bill as “bad legislation,” And he asked Mr. Loevinger whether the price fixing element in the bill was not the “guts” of the legislation. Declines Judgment Mr. Loevinger said he would "prefer not to make that judgment." Mr. Loevinger did say, however, that he would stand on a study of the bill by the Justice Department. The study said in part that the bill is “contrary to the private enterprise system of alcoholic beverage distribution.” It also said certain sections of the bill “represent private interest legislation which would impose drastic criminal sanctions for normal competitive practices.” The study also described sections of the bill as “badly drawn, vague, imprecise, and speculative.” End of Business Cold War Urged A Republican leader offers this advice to President Kennedy: Restore confidence in the economy by firing the "economic odd-balls” on his staff and “declare a cease-fire in his cold war with business.” These steps, said Representative Bob Wilson of California, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, would help prevent future stock market crises like the severe drop Monday. Mr. Wilson, in a statement yesterday, said Mr. Kennedy should treat labor and business equally, give firm assurances the antitrust laws will be applied fairly, and halt the centralization of power in Washington “with its harassing controls over business.” Teachers Retire at Dunbar High Three Dunbar High School faculty members will retire June 30.

Legal deadline for adopting the budget is June 30, but Mr. Massey has been pressing the supervisors to adopt it before June 1 because of the time required to make new tax bills.
