But two other amendments, for tax relief and free office rental, | could run the added cost of the bill into hundreds of thousands of | dollars. The tax amendment was offered | by Democratic Leader McCormack of Massachusetts and approved without a show of opposition or | discussion. An examination of the amend- ment by newsmen disclosed its in- tent, which McCormack verified. It says that for purposes of fed- eral taxation, members of Con- gress have their place of resi- dence in the state or district they |represent.

The incident occurred about 1 a. m. in Carthage, near the sum- mer palace of the Tunisian sov- ereign, Bey Sidi Mohammed Al- Amin. The Jernegans live in the same area. Jernegan said that the French Resident General in this uneasy protectorate, Gen. Jean de Haute- cloeque, had expressd his regrets and sent out orders to troops in the area to stop being so trigger- nervous. An hour and a half after the Jernegan incident, a member of the Resident General’s own ad- ministrative staff, William de Pey- ster, was fired upon in about the Same area. He escaped injury but several bullets also smacked into his automobile.

BENTLEY’S MOTION (Continued From Page One) $117,000 road construction pro- ject in the 1952 budget. “We are paying him from $1,- 600 to $2,800 a month at this rate,” Bentley said. “We could) get a full time engineer for $7500 a year, that’s what we should do.” Goggin who prefaced his re- marks with the statement that he thought Bentley had a right to/} have all his question* answered, | said: » If you can get an engineer with a surveyer's license for $7500 a year I'll hire him away from you myself.” Goggin had earlier said that young engineering graduates are getting jobs at $800 a month Allen backed up Goggin saying: “I wonder who Mr. Bentley thinks he’s kidding when he ays he could get an engineer-sur- veyer for $7500 a year.” Goggin said that he would on- ly continue to work for the County if he could maintain the standards of the engineering profession and he said: “If I do the work for you gentlemen I expect to be paid for it.” Commissioner Harris urged Bentley and the other Commis- sioners to inspect the roads built before Goggin and since his tenure. “You'd be ashamed that you ever made such a motion to dismiss Goggin if you could see the roads he has built.” Bentley questioned if any had been built. Harris said ye*. It was brought out that $74,000 in road contracts has been let out of the budget of $117,000. Approximately $10,000 has gone to Goggin’s firm, and $2,- 000 for fire-fighting equipment in Marathon, and other items such as lighting. On Goggin’s recommendation the bids on three Keys roads were rejected by Commis- sioners as way out of line in price. The bids for grading and draining of three roads were! more than for finished roads, cubic yard costs, were | for $2 to $3 per cubic yard for the grading, draining job. This, “THE SEA AROUND US” (Continued From Page One) when I asked for a copy of her book at his book shop: “How would you graphed copy?” “Naturally I'd love one,” I said. “Miss Carson was in the other day and autographed several of them.” He said he thought she was at The Key Wester. I rushed to a phone and called her. The busy marine biologist said that she was about to leave Key West and could not grant @ personal interview but would talk on the phone. We did for half an hour. An enthusiast about Key West, Miss Carson said the Keys have an atmosphere all their own, “perfectly wonderful for biolo- gists.” Though she dives deep under the sea, this new book will deal with the sea life available for shallow water waders. It will de- scribe the sea animals that are found on beaches as well as close to shore. Houghton-Miflin, not Oxford, her former publisher, are bringing out the new book. Meanwhile “The Sea Around Us” her second book has gone into its ninth month heading the | best-seller lists, topping all fic- | tion as well as non-fiction. The great book about the sea, first published last July, ap- peared on the best seller list late that month. It took first | place in September, and held its first rank for more than 30 | weeks. For two weeks it was outranked, then went back to first place where it has been | The book has been given prac- tically every award a biologist- writer could wish.

Miss Carson's unique posi- tion of bridging science and literature may lead the way for other scientists to learn how to write, and other writers to learn science. A devotee of writing and na- ture since childhood, Miss Car-| son learned the birds, insects and inhabitants of streams and ponds long before she ever saw the sea. Later at the Pennsylvania Col- lege for Women, her interest in natural history became a serious study of biology. She did gradu-|, ate work at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity and at the renowned Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. After teaching for a few years at Hopkins and the University of Maryland, the biologist went to the Federal Government where jadd nothing to the subject save, she spent 16 years. She visited remote wilderness areas from |the Evergl. to the Rocky Mountains. She observed sea | life from oceanographic vessels | as well as from fishing boats. She | dived in helmets to get a closer look at the sea around her. Arti« cles of hers have appeared in |the Atlantic Monthly, Collier's, |the Yale Review, Science Digest and other periodicals. “The Sea Around Us” was the |result of intensive work in the | laboratory she has chosen for her life work, the sea. “I have enough I want to write to last through several lifetimes,” she said this week. Upon leaving Key West, Miss Crason plans to return to Wash- ington and then continue her field work for the new book at Wood's Hole and on the Maine coast, and three sisters. of War on U.: June 1951. economize in government.
