Spearfishermen Shooting Moray Find Fun Eel And Photographing Barracuda REPORTER LOOKS BUT DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN SPORT OR ART By SUSAN McAVOY And now I have seen my first moray eel less than six feet from me in the water, and a school of almost 20 barracuda about 15 feet away from where I swam. These two experiences were mine yesterday out at Western Dry Rocks, two miles west of Sand Key Light. ‘The yellow green moray one of the most vicious inhabitants of these seas, was spotted by the men Ed Gibson, Sam Shakels- worth .and Eddie Ciesinski, slithering throueh, a iarge nigger- head coral. Ed had his under- water cumera, Sam and Eddie their spear guns, I wore my snorkel, flippers and mask. Sam took a shot at the moray with his un. He made a hit but his spear with the eel hooked on it caught in the hard .oral rock. Taking turns the men dived down to try to disengage the spear and bring out the el. I hovered at a safe distance above them in the water watching, but not going any nearer than neces- sary. Finally Ed Gibson got a gaff from his boat some 25 yards away, and came back and started poking around to try and get the spear loosened. glo..v He succeeded. Sarr dove down and pulled out the spe: with the undulating four foot long snake-like creature. He was about ten inches in| circumference. His mouth was still snapping showing his ugly little teeth as Sam towed him to the surface. Ed took color pic- tures of the episode and mo- tioned to me to hold on to the line attached to the spear at- tached to the moray eel. I did not trust the creature even though it was dying, so begged off holding him even in such an indirect fashion. The beauty of the coral out at the Dry Rocks was. heightened by the magnificent brilliant blue parrot fish, polly fish and others who cruised through the gin-| clear water. : Ed suggested swimming over to the marker where he could get even more pictures and pos- sibly one of a shark, which is his goal. Eddie Ciesinski, Ed anc I took off. I stayed in the middle fear- ing as usual the arrival of a) barracuda. I didn’t have to wait longs. We) were looking through our masks | at the big crevices and sheer cliffs of coral when suddenly a school of about twenty barracu- da of all sizes cruised nonchan- lantly by. Ed was delighted. It was a ready made picture for him. He} tread water with his flippers and took pictures steadi-y with the) underwater French camera sus- | pended around his neck. Eddie was in back of Ed, and I was in back of both of them. I was feeling fairly safe having | the two men as protectors, until | I looked at their hands and) realized neither of them had guns. As though responding to the fear that suddenly went through me, my left foot began to cramp up. It became stiff and | painful. I found a footing on the | coral rock avoiding the long treachercus spines of the sea) urchin, and an. contact with the| infectious coral on my baie heels, and tried to work out the cramp. | Although I could stand with my | head above water, I preferred to | keep it under so that I could | watch for the ubiquitous barra- | I ducked my face under while | trying to stamp out the cramp. / Just then I saw the biggest bar-) racuda so far, about five feet in) front of me. I nudged Eddie who | took his sncrke! out of his mouth and said: } “He's peen about three feet in back of you all the time.” | That didn't make me fee) one bit happier about it, so 1 swam | away from the black spotted| creature. | “He isn't afraid of anything,| that barracuda.” Eddie said. He) shouted to Sam who was on the) Doat “Bring a gun over, we have! a whole school of barracuda) here.” i Sam didn’t hear, he was too) far away, about 200 yards. j By this time even T was get.) ting used to the presence of the Darracuda. The cramp in my foot had responded to the lessen- ing of my fear and the three of us swam slowly back to the boat. ; Ed returned with Ronnie Cies- | inski to look for his shark he wated to photograph. An hour later he returned say- ing in a disappointed voice “All we could find was a four- | i Ike Promises Hard Fight If Nominated CHICAGO #— Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said oday he would hithard at Democratic “errors” if tial nominee, “scrape up dirt” just for the sake of doing it. Eisenhower made the statement tto the Florida delegation as he launched an all - or - nothing offensive to win top place on the GOP ticket. Eisenhower had an fast with the 18-man bation, which is umn of his chief ri nomination, Sen. Robert of Ohio. The general was asked by one of the Florida delegates whether, as the nominee, he would work “to expose what the Democratic Party stands for.” Eisenhower replied: “I wouldn’t hesitate to bring out everything that has been in error.” Then he added that “‘ to scrape up the dirt just for the sake of scraping up, I would say no.” Kirk Landon, Florida campaign manager for Eisenhower, arranged the meal which was to be fol- lowed by a second given by Sen. Robert A. Taft. The Ohio republican now holds 14 of 18 delegation votes, accord- ing to the latest Associated Press poll. The delegation, however, has not been polled since it arrived in Chicago. Eisenhower has one dele- gate and three are uncommitted. The unanimous seating of the delegation last week by the Re- publican National Committee is challenged before the convention credentials committee by an op- posing grass roots faction headed by Wesley Garrison, Miami. The seated delegation is led by C. C. Spades, of St. Augustine and G. H. Alexander, Ft. Myers. The Florida contest was to be the first beforé the committee. It appeared that the session would not get under way until late this afternoon. In a caucus Sunday night the Spades faction heard a suggestion that it pass its vote when Florida is called, the decision until thte end. Paul E. Helliwell, Miami, an backer, told the deleg: “Let’s pass and see what happens before we go Holbrook Scott, Ocala, differed. He said he believed the delegation was able to make its mind and should announce decision when the name of Florida is called. re prt ft te 3 port the proposal. He - po ag that they had received a “fair deal on your own contest” before the national committee, “with 100 per cent support of the Eisenhower group which asked nothing in return. Now one thing is being asked: Give us fair play, vote as your conscience dictates.” GLORIA MUNIZ (Continued From Page One) ges, comprised of « quartet of local serviceron te decide the winner and it was necessary te bring the beauties back to the stage several times fer further inspection.

The toll was far from a record for a holiday week end. The blood- jest Day holiday was far short of the 430 the National Safety Council predicted and 17 less than the number who died on the highways during a similar 78- hour Memorial Day period. But 185 drownings between 6 p. m. (local time) Thursday and mid- night Sunday helped boost the total well beyond the Memorial Day fig- ure of 510. National Safety Council statistics for 1952 show that motor vehicle accidents have killed about 90 per- sons every 24 hours. These figures, however, include deaths occurring long after the accidents. The week end count includes on- deaths occurring within period.

His intensity, sense of characterization and the sensiti- son who statted out with hero worship of his father and ended bitterly disillusioned is superb. One thing to note is. the skillful and valid psychological injection A singularly humorless play, due to its tragic import, there is now and then a dram of laughter in the situations cf typical family life. But this is profound drama and must be regarded as such. The plot is absorbing in its study of human nature. It tells the story of a man who worship- ped his older brother to the ex~- tent that he steeps himself in dreams, imagining that hr, too, will sometime be an ace sales- man. Then as his true existence loses its glitter his mind begins to snap. He lives in the past a great deal of the time, back in the days when ambition was still something to be believed in, Finally, he is unable to separate the real world from that of the illusionary one. When he ha: lu- cid moments and knows that he is a failure, he flails himself and his sons, then retreats again in- to the past, until the past be- comes the rresent, and the focus is so confused that reality is lost entirely.
