scattered neighborhoods are still

all Maryland and Virginia areas

Hurricane Hazel exceeded ANY

Picture at Noon Today.
This was the picture at noon
today for the area:
District-The city is in pretty
good shape" mainly because it is
served largely by underground
power lines, which were not dis
turbed by falling trees. But
service is still out in some parts
of the Foxhall road section,
Georgetown and in Northeast.
Maryland - Crews are still
working in all parts of Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties, where half of all elec-
trio customers lost power for
some period during the night.
Officials hope all but outlying
sections will have service re-
stored by midnight.
Virginia-Power failures hit
widespread sections of Arlington
and Fairfax counties and Alex
andria. Some neighborhoods will
get power back tonight, others
will have to wait until late to-
morrow.
LOO Lines DOwned.
Robert w. Wilson, vice presi-
dent of the Potomac Electric
Power Co.. which serves the Dis
trict and Maryland's Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges counties,
said LOO overhead power lines
were downed by the storm.
We've never had anything like
it. The highest number ever
down before was about 250," Mr..
Wilson said.
Mr.. Wilson said the destruc-
ton was so general it was diff
ficult to classify any area as
hardest hit. But among areas
that suffered the worst, he said,
were Rockville, Bethesda, Chevy
Chase, Silver Spring and South
ern Maryland communities.

plants have come into the Office
by telephone, telegram and in
person.

the data our field crews have,

official said.

Russia Calls on u. n.

AGAINST Red China
Lodge Replies Charge
Of Our Aggression
Anywhere Is Lie
BY the Assoeioied Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Oct. 16.-Russia accused the
United States last night of ag-
gression against Red China and
called on the United Nations
General Assembly to put a stop
to it. The United States promptly
branded the charge a lie.
In a letter to DR.. Eelco N. Van
Kleffens. Assembly president,
Russia's Andrei Vishinsky held
the United States responsible
for coastal attacks on the
Chinese mainland and ship
seizures near Formosa. seat of
the Chinese Nationalist regime.
He submitted a resolution asking
the Assembly to condemn the
alleged American aggression.
A quick statement by the
Chief United States delegate,
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., de-
clared: ITO say that the United
States has engaged in any ag-
gressive action in the area of
Formosa or anywhere else is a
plain lie."
Follows ChOu's Charges.
MIR. Vishinsky sent his letter
one day after the U. N. circu-
lated a complaint from Red Chi
nese Premier Chou En-lai charg-
ing the United States with ag-
gression and asking the Assem-
bly, to call a halt to American
aid to Chinese Nationalists.
The United States refused to
accept delivery of the Chinese
complaint, which was circulated
to U. N. members over American
objections. Diplomatic sources
said since the United States does
not recognize the Peiping regime
it does not need accept COM
munications from it.
FOrmOsa Grab Charged.
The U. N. Security Council
considered similar aggression
chages preferred by Red China
in 1850, but turned down a Peip-
ing request that it condemn the
United States.

charged yesterday that United
States armed forces had grabbed.

sovereign rights" It declared
