PAGE TWO Boat Parade At Ocean City To Be June 23 OCEAN CITY Ocean 'City's boat parade will be held June 23. The event heralds the opening of the marlin fishing season off the resort and boats from Ocean City's charter, commercial and private fishing fleet take part in the yearly pageant. SLEEK PLEASURE cruisers join with the commercial trawlers and sturdy little charter boats in welcoming the arrival of another marlin fishing season. An estimated 70 craft take part in the parade. Prior to the start of the parade, boat captains and crews decorate their boats to catch the eyes of the the judges who are stationed on the 400-foot fishing pier extending into the ocean.

Some skippers spend weeks in preparing unusual decorations for their craft and sightseers can expect to see everything from a boat made to resemble a giant marlin, to a boatload of mermaids. THE PARADE of boats generally begins at the bayside docks at 6:30 p.m. Led by a Coast Guard cutter, the craft file out the inlet and pass in review along the coast. With gaily colored flags and bunting flying the boats cruise to the north of Ocean City where they turn and once again file past the reviewing stand, then back through the inlet to Sinepuxent bay where they disperse. Prizes and trophies are awarded to the winning entries at ceremonies held at the bayside docks.

The boat parade is sponsored annually by the Ocean City Marlin Club in conjunction with Mayor Daniel Trimper and City Council. Over-Emphasis On Sex Hit By Youth Head BALTIMORE (-A youth leader said today over-emphasis on sex in motion pictures, television and paperback magazines has resulted in a "wave of immorality and indecency" in America. The result, Arthur J. Patzer of Washington told a session of the Chesapeake Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in suburban Catonsville, is "broken, homes, mixed-up teen-agers, a national nightmare." Patzer is youth leader of the Columbia Union Conference. Patzer also criticized advocates of teen-age "steady He called it "one of the greatest concerns, dangers and curses to teenagers "Skirt-pursuing is fast becoming a national pastime for high school boys," he said.

"It forces a quest learning into a back seat." Patzer contended the modern trend of going steady "is loaded with highly explosive possibilities that rock an average youth from his firm moral foundations." The church official suggested that schools, churches and community agencies provide worthwhile group activities to take teenagers off street corners and away from "wild auto rides." He said this could include hobby clubs, nature excursions, church socials and other activities. Directing the youth session was Robert A. Tyson, youth leader of the Chesapeake Conference.o The annual meeting will continue to Saturday.

While no direct source of the criticism was disclosed by the town fathers Saturday, they said they thought the matter should be settled once and for all.

The anglers are well within their rights. and surf-casting is menace to bathers provided the fishing is done within the restricted area provided by the ordinance, they said. COMMISSIONER Carroll W. West, who is also president of the Rehoboth Sportsman Club, was particularly anxious to squelch any adverse criticism, saying any curbing of surf-casting would be a hardship on thousands of sportsmen who enjoy hook-and-line fishing during their vacations. The ordinance permits surfcasting within 20 feet on each side of the two bulkheads north of the Hotel Henlopen at any time.

No bathers are allowed in those areas anyway because of the possible danger of being swept by the current against the jetties.

Conservatives End Liberal's Rule In Canada TORONTO (-A smashing litical upset today ended the 22- year rule of Canada's Liberal party, minority and promised Conservative the country cabinet headed by 61-year-old John Diefenbaker. The Conservatives, campaigning on a "time for change" platform, won the most seats in House of Commons elections yesterday but fell short of a majority.

Expected To Resign Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent, the Liberal party chief, is expected to resign this week and recommend that Gov. Gen. Vincent Massey ask Diefenbaker to form a new cabinet. The Tories will have to rule as a minority government, as the Liberals did after the 1945 election.

Leaders of both minor parties said they not join 'a coalition cabinet, although both would, indicated they would support the Conservatives if they put forward a satisfactory program. Not For Long It was considered likely, however, that Diefenbaker would not want to try governing for very long with the aid of other groups but would bring on another election soon in an effort to win a majority. With 4 of the 265 Commons seats undecided, the Conservatives early today had won 110, the Liberals 103, the Socialist CCF (Cooperative Commonwealth Federation) 24, the Social Credit party 18 and independents 6. Liberals not only lost the election, but 9 of their 17 Cabinet members were swept out of Parliament. The only top Liberal leaders to remain were the 75- year-old St.

There has been no further word of the vessel's position in Villier's messages to the mainland. Mayflower II was scheduled to arrive at Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod, at noon today to commemorate the signing of the Mayflower Compact.

Members of the Provincetown committee say they have no idea now when the rigged bark will arrive for her brief stopover about half a mile offshore. Ronald Forth, chairman of the Plymouth reception committee, said early today, "The Mayflower could arrive as late as Friday. She'll be in Plymouth by Saturday, you can count on that." A Weather Bureau official at Boston said he was mystified by Capt. Villier's message that he holds out little hope for favorable winds. Samuel Penn, district forecaster at the Boston, Weather Bureau, said: understand why they aren't getting a good breeze." At about 2 a.m.

today, the Weather Bureau reported a nine m.p.h. southwesterly wind in the area of the Mayflower II. That was described as a favorable wind. Forth said, "The delay will not hurt the 12-day celebration in any way." Mayflower II is scheduled to proceed to New York Harbor after 12 days at Plymouth to be used as a tourist attraction for the summer. She will be permanently berthed in Plymouth in the fall.

Japanese agreement, he therefore is subject to a U. S. court-martial. Defense Department The Defense Department's view, as stated by its general counsel Robert Dechert in a Miami interview last night, "is that Girard's actions leading to the death represented such a complete departure from his duty at the time that he could not have been considered on duty." President Eisenhower was represented in authoritative quarters as being determined to stand by the decision to hand Girard over to Japanese courts. He was said to have taken the position that the word and prestige of the United States are at stake in the Far Mayor Flashes Red Signal On Proposal To Slow Trains Here For the time being, Mayor he W.

Hastings has blown the whistle on a city councilman who proposed to flag down trains passing through the city. Last night, Councilman Harry 0. Fullbrook suggested that the council enact an ordinance restricting train speeds to 20 miles an hour in view of the removal of a crossing watchman here. However, the mayor, a railroad man, asked that such action be delayed until he could consult with his employers about the feasibility of this. MAYOR HASTINGS said that a signal control system along the railroad is geared to train speeds of 35 or 40 miles an hour.

Conversions of this circuit control system would be costly and time-consuming, the mayor said. The council agreed to sidetrack the 20-mile speed limit pronosal until the mayor can check with the railroad and submit a report to City. Hall. Councilman Boyd E. McLernon opened up the gates for the railroad wrangle.

HE ASKED for a report on a removal of the watchman after nearly a century at the heavily traveled E. Church St. grade crossing. Mayor Hastings advised him that he received a letter from the railroad in May that the crossing guard would be removed, effective June 1. However, some signals got crossed and the word didn't reach anybody else in City Hall.

Mr. McLernon said a number of residents of the East Salisbury section had expressed some alarm over the removal of the guard. Now, the crossing is protected only by flashing lights. However, when a shifting engine is in operation near the crossing, a flagman Gangs Riot In Algiers; Strike On ALGIERS (R Gangs of French: students rioted through Algiers today, smashing shop windows and attacking Moslems in retaliation for the dance hall bombing Sunday in which 8 French were killed and 83 wounded. A general called by student and veterans' organizations closed all shops and banks noon and only a few trolley cars were still operating.

Ambulances tore through the streets to pick up injured Moslems. There was no immediate count of the injured available. A strong force of French paratroops had been moved into the Algerian capital in expectation of retaliatory violence from the infuriated French civilians. But the troops apparently were slow to go into action against the rioters. Military helicopters flew over the city.

Students smashed the of shops which tried to open in defiance of the strike call. Automobiles belonging to Moslems were overturned or set afire.

"You better check to see" that the blinkers are blinking," Mr. McLernon said. "They weren't working on both sides of the track Saturday," he said. "One was working and the other wasn't." he said. The mayor said a check would be made immediately.

MAYOR HASTINGS said that because of reduced traffic two passenger trains a day now the railroad didn't believe the crossing guard was needed. Mr. McLernon remarked that "there must be 1,600 shifters a day out there." For the time being, a crossing guard is being retained at S. Divisicn St. because of the motor vehicle traffic problem in addition to the rail traffic.

RAILROAD AND city officials are searching everywhere to see if there is some sort of old agreement that governs speed and crossing guards and the like. Nobody can to locate any such document. The mayor said that the railroad was advising its engireers to reduce their speed to 30 or 35 miles an hour when they go through Salisbury. However, he said if it was felt that 20 miles an hour would be best, he would not oppose it. This and other problems concerning the railroad are expected to be hashed out in the near future when city officials confer with railroad respesentatives.

There is some concern among councilmen over the fact that the railroad removed the guard at E. Church St. and nobody in City Hall except. the mayor. was officially notified.

Somewhere on the dusty city lawbooks is an ancient ordinance regulating speed of trains through the city. It is believed that the limit is either 35 or 40 miles an hour. Business Notes ATTENDS SCHOOL J. B. Mears of W.
