Landing Craft Added
Today two Navy landing
craft and a 95-foot Coast
Guard cutter are being added
to the rescue force.
The rescue operation began
about 2 pm. yesterday after
winds and high waves had
slackened somewhat, and con-
tinued until about 7 pm. when
darkness forced a halt.
During the night the refu-
gees huddled wherever they
could find a high, dry spot, on
this low-lying land. They had
no electricity, most were with
out heat, and many, it ap-
peared, lacked fresh water.
To add to their fears, COM
munications were lost with Z
mile-long Chincoteague after
the high tides rolled in for the
second time during the day.
900 Stay at Church
With light and power off,
the islanders moved with
blankets and food to the
church, the firehouse and the
islands elementary school to
await evacuation by air.
The Rev. Raymond Britton,
38, pastor of the church, said
he had sheltered about 600
people in the stone, two-story
building during the long, dark
night.
Inc refugees were forced to
sleep on the floors in the church
classrooms, on peWs and or
benches in the auditorium. A
few mattresses were lugged tc
the church for the women and
children before the surging
waters halted operations.
Food was taken from flooded
stores in the town by crews
in motorboats and brought to
the church.
The tide gradually seepec
into the church, finally cover
ing the first floor with Is
inches of water and forcing the
refugees onto the second floor
of the building.
But the sea yielded a gift
too, to the refugees.

insurance against water damage
reached a climax after the sew
ere floods in New England in
1855.
Congress enacted a law in
1856 to provide Federal flood
insurance after private COM
panies said the job was too
risky for them to tackle alone.
But the scheme died after law
makers later declined to vote
money to support it.

City to believe it," said Gov.
Tawes.
Our town has been nearly
devastated" was the reply
from Mayor Chopper as he
greeted the Governor in the
water-covered doorway of City
Hall.
Wades to Meeting
Flying by plane and later by
helicopter the Governor was
driven from a make-shift hello
port on U. S. Route so just
outside Ocean City to City Hall
by Maryland State Police.
What he saw along the brief
ride apparently left him at a
loss for words. He waded
through more than a foot of
water to meet with Mayor
Chopper, the Town Council and
numerous police, fire, and res
cue officials.
There is not a place along
the 37-block boardwalk that
has not been damaged" Mayor
Chopper told the Governor.
This is the worst disaster to
ever strike U.s."
The officials went into a
closed meeting to evaluate the
extent of damage.
A pile of rubble was all that
remained of the Coronado
Apartment Hotel on Forty
seventh street.
Early this morning, in the
ebb tide, the body of a man
was discovered. He was identi-
fled as James Wilson, a Trail
ways Bus driver.
The weather continued over
cast. The wind eased off by
midmorning.
The sea continued to pound
furiously as, five helicopters
dipped here and there over
the town.. The streets are
flooded by about five feet of
muddy water each time the
tide comes in.
The old ramshackle hotels
withstood the storm, amazingly,
while the newer, lower lung
motels were beaten in by the
seas.
Half a Pool
Only half a swimming pool
remains at one motel. Still an
other lost it's out door recre-
alton facilities when a giant
wave sent a 100-foot section of
the boardwalk crashing through
the motel and deposited the
massive structure, complete
with light pole standing in the
structures front office.
Cars appeared to have been
tossed from one place to an
other as if they were giant
corks.
National Guardsmen patrolled
the streets today, picking their
way along the muddy, sand
streWn streets, guarding against
looters.
Last night, even though
water Surged over the shore, at
least three fires broke out and
continued unchecked. Firemen
were blocked by the flood.
The Coast Guard estimated
that at least 10 per cent of the
resort was destroyed in the
storm. At least 80 per cent was
damaged in some way.
BY early morning, residents
were out cleaning up the mess
clearing passages through the
rubble. Mayor Chopper pushed
a stalled automobile piloted by
a reporter to dry land and an
nounced: This is our good
neighbor policy"
Flooding continued to ham
per efforts to inspect the badly
beaten waterfront. Three hotels
were considered demolished.
Maryland State Police Maj
George E. Davidson looked ur
the beach toward Rehobotl
and remarked the wreckagt
looked like one long lumber
yard.

POSTAGE" linking Variety
PHILATELIC NEWS
Stamps Show linking
And PERI Varieties
By BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

The Bureau of Engraving
and Printing catches most of
the mistakes it makes in the
billions of stamps printed
each year. But now and then
something escapes the eye of
an inspector and collectors
jubilantly note a new variety.
Two such items have turned
up recently, both resulting
from characteristics of the
Giori multicolor press.
One is an linking variety
Of the Louisiana State
hood stamp which results
in POSTAGE" reading
POSTAGE" 1t was frs t
noted by Miss Anita Vinikoor,
l2-year-old daughter of
David Vinikoor, a past presi-
dent Of the Woodbridge Stamp
Club. The odd "E" caught
her eye as she was about to
use one of the stamps for
postage.
A quick check Of the plate
number resulted in the pur-
chase of additional sheets at
the Philatelic Sales Agency.
The variety apparently oc-
ours only on Plate 27205, most
extensively in the two lower
panes. Many sheets, includ-
ing those now on sale at the
agency, do not show the
variety at all. No accurate
record is available on how
many sheets do show it, but
they are at least in the
dozens, perhaps in the hun
dreds.
The Giori press has elimi-
mated errors like the upside
down plane on the 24-cent
air mail, caused by putting a
half-printed sheet into the
press reversed for the second
impression. Since the Giori
press prints three colors from
a single plate. there is no
possible way for the side
wheeler on the Louisiana
stamp to come out upside
down. But the refinements
which make this multicolor
printing possible also tend to
create minor linking varieties.
The press has three ink
ing rollers, each with cut
outs shaped to apply ink to
a specific area of the stamp
design. A roller not i'll per-
feet registration with the
plate might either apply its
ink to an area meant to be
another color or fail to ink
part of the area it was meant
to supply.
George w. Brett, president
of the Bureau Issues AsSocia-
ton and an expert on the
Giori press, says the POST
AGF" variety is quite obvi-
ously caused by a slight lack
of synchronization in the blue
linking roller, which during a
part of the press run failed to
ink the lower arm of the "E"
on the lower part of the
plate Of 200 subjects which
prints sheets later cut into
four post office sheets of so.
The other variety illus
trated is a Seattle Fair
commemorative perforation
freak found by Richie w.
Laing of New York. In this
case the vertical row of per-
forations fell so far to the
right that the Seattle

Mr.. Dave Burns

Those who like an oc-
casional helping of jazz with
their musical fare will find a
Vanguard Record. titled Dave
Burns, a spicy item. Mr..
Burns is a trumpeter Of no
little talent, combined here
with sax, bass, piano and
drums.
A couple of lines from the
record jacket give the idea
succinctly: The all-over style
of the Dave Burns Quintet
may be characterized by its
utter lack Of pretense, or Of
flashy novelties aimed only
to startle or surprise the
listener. Musicality is fore
most, saying the most with
the simplest means, and
showing itself in a highly
melodic style. The tunes are
mostly original, two of the
best by Burns himself.
