Maryland Roads Director
John B. Funk has taken the
position that the General As

bridge cannot be ignored.
Other officials, including Mr..
Funk and State Park Director
Joseph F. Kaylor, also are
cool to the idea of turning the
entire island into a park.
There are those, however,
who think a park is the best
thing.
Worcester County officials
are solidly against a Federal
park, mainly because they
think private development Of

Recent Report
The research center is OPP
Grated by the Department of
Interiors First and Wildlife
Service. DR.. James B. Dewitt,
chief of the Section of Chemi-
cal and Physiological Studies
at the center, directs the con-
tinuing experiments there.
The last 1962O report pub
lished by DR.. Dewitt and his
staff shows the results Of more
than 400 tests, involving 81
pesticides, conducted during
1860.
The report shows a significant
reduction in the ability to re-
produce by the three species
tested at the center. It also
shows an increase in the num-
Der of crippled chicks being
Matched and a corresponding
increase in deaths after
Matching.
Spraying Involved
Z While it is relatively easy to
determine the effects of chem
icals on birds by direct obser-
walton of controlled expert
ments, it is much more diff
cult to determine the effects
chemicals have in the field.
The reason, according to re-
search scientists, is that birds
tend to repopulate a treated
area as quickly as their prede-
cessors die off. Also. they say,
the carcaSseS Of the dead birds
are quickly snatched up by
natural predators.
However, in a test at the
University Of Wisconsin, Sc to

below the national average of
one per cent, Mr.. Lowe says.
Another method has been de-
veloped to determine the
effects pest controlling chemi-
Gals may have on birds.
At the Patuxent center, lab
oratory equipment has been
set UP to measure the chemical
reSidueS in the tissues of dead
birds
AS a result of tests, scientists
have found that:
l. Birds do build up chemi-
cal residues in their bodies.
2. At a certain level, the birds
die.
Studies Of marine specimens
have also shown the same re-
suits.
The tests have enabled
scientists to determine how
great a percentage of chemicals
a bird can take into its system
before it dies, and the percent
age that will produce what they
call "Sub-lethal" effects.
This means that the repro
duction ability and sex charac-
treistics are seriously damaged.
Studies of reproductive organs
have shown a marked change
in the structure of the tissue.
DR.. John George, staff spe-
cialiSt with the Department of
Interiors Branch of Wildlife
Research, recently expressed
his concern over the situation.
Pest Control Needed
We're worried about the i'm
mediate and long term effects, 4"
DR.. George said recently. I'VE

happens when these chemicals
are applied in different dosage

I'VE have ublicly expressed
concern over what we call
chemical pollution of environ
ments," DR.. George continued.
He said that his agency reports
regularly to Congress on the
subject"
Other critics Of chemicals
have included biologist and
writer Rachel Carson and the
National Audubon Society.
AS for the future of chemical
controls, DR.. George said this:
1T would be our hope that this
would come to an end some
day that less toxic chem
icals might be developed, or
alternative methods"

Relief Cost Figure
SIashed $4,000
Welfare Aides
Cut Estimates
To SOL Million
By BETTY MILES
Star Staff Writer

District welfare officials to-
day gave a Senate subcommit-
tee a cost estimate for aid to
relief recipients that is $685.
900 less than the figure they
first sought in the House for
fiscal 1868.
Their request for $6.I89, 612
was presented at Senate Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee hearings.
The figure was scaled down
from original estimates largely
because of the drop of about
300 cases on relief since last
year. The estimate for 1868
now is 1871 cases.
But since the city expects to
receive about 100000 in new
Federal matching money for
the aged this year. welfare
spokesman put their actual es-
innate of local money needed
at $5.796, 405-more than $1.3
million below their first figures.
Seeks Qualification
Senator Robert c. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia and
chairman Of the subcommittee,
planned to seek Qualification of
the figures in further sessions
late today.
The first session revolved
around the Senator's repeated
attempts to get officials to mail
down" their figures with Sena-
tor Byrd taking the welfare
officials through their sums like
a schoolmaster.
He was repeatedly frustrated
in his attempts to get the data
he wanted on 1887 families
affected by the reduction in
relief grants last year.
The Senators was particu-
larry interested in whether
these families were receiving
surplus food and how the food
available this year would COM
pare in retail value to the
amount recipients got last year.
Asks Value Of Food
He asked District Welfare
Director Gerard M. Shea to
supply for the record the maxi
mum amount Of food being
received and the value of the
food after Mr.. Shea was unable
to say with certainty that there
had been no reductions.
Lets quit assuming" the
Senator said. I'VE are Just not
going to cover up the record
with assumptions. You ought to
know whether these families
are getting surplus commodities
even though they can't be sub
stituted for relief"
Senator Byrd suggested that
when the department made q
study of the effects of cuts in
grants to large families on re-
lief, details on surplus food
should have been sought.
The Senator also asked for
other details on the families
affected by the cuts. He mace
1t clear he wants this data ON
hand when he reviews the
testimony.
The Senator stressed that If
the city still is thinking OF
asking for restoration of any
Of the cuts-the position to
date has been that a restora-
ton request would be deferred
1t should ask now and not
descend on the luckless chair
man and put all the pressure
on him to make the restora-
tion."
