In the Washington area,
restaurants were feeling the
pinch of the shortage. One
prominent sea food house has
been unable to buy oysters or
clans since the storm struck.
Most Of the better-known
oyster bars have managed to
obtain some supplies, but res
taurateurs say the quality is
inferior to what they would
prefer to serve. One place is
serving seven instead Of the
usual half-dozen to a plate be-
cause they are not on a par
with the Chincoteague product
Generally, retailers and res
taurants are finding clans
harder to find than oysters.
Some of the oysters have sold
at a premium, one restaurant
reporting the cost had risen
about $3.50, a bushel.
On Washington's altere d
waterfront, eight fish boats still
were plying their trade today.
Usually the Eastern Shore
boatmen handle Chincoteague
oysters, but now they are bring
ing them in from Chesapeake
Bay. They don't see much hope
of any more Chincoteagues this
year.
But we would like the folks
here to know that what we
are selling are fresh" said one
boatman, William D. Stevens.

battering from North Carolina
to New York.
North Carolina today joined
four other States in asking
President Kennedy to desig-
nate the Storm-smashed Outer
Banks a major disaster area.
This would make the State
eligible for Federal funds to
repair public facilities, such
as President Kennedy made
possible last week to New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia.
AS cleanup operations con-
tinued along the wreck e d
beaches, Virginia was warned
Of a mild threat of additional
flood damage. This was seen
possible from flooding on the
James and other rivers as the
result of recent rains and
thaws. However, it appeared
likely only some low-lying farm
areas would be affected.
A week after the fierce storm
hit, the Red Cross still was car
ing for some 1900 victims in
shelters at Wallops Station and
Hampton, Va, Atlantic City
and Kitty Hawk, N. C.
About $500 of Chinco-
leagues residents still were
either in Wallops Island bar
racks, the Onancock armory or
private homes on the main
land. Health authorities still
refuse to let most of the resi-
dents return to their island
home, even though the water
has receded.
First there is the problem of
removing scores of boats and
debris washed up from the
shore, of making sure all con-
ditions are sanitary, and of
removing or burning carcaSses
of las horses and ponies on
ChincOteague and ASSoteapI1e

The Rambler went to the

A spokesman for the CAB
hastened to say that the
board does not set the rates
for transatlantic flights. 1t
approves or rejects them.
The carriers set the rates
through their organization,
the International Air Trans
port Association. The aSSo-
citation polices its more than
100 members and can, and
has, levied fines of $4,000
for violations.
When the new order was
proposed it was protested by
the unscheduled charter
lines and a question was
raised by the Antitrust Di-
vision of the Department OF
Justice. So there will be a
hearing on March 81 and the
order, at present, is limited
to May 81.
The industry hopes that it
will continue right through
the summer on a year-round
basis.

April in Paris!
Readers of the advertise
ments in our newspapers
probably are aware that
there has been a recent
change in rates in trans
Atlantic travel.
For some time this has
been the practice:
If a club or a society or a
place of employment-say
the Pentagon-can fill a
plane to Paris, the price per
passenger is much less. This
is a chartered flight.
This is called prior affin-
ity" and the airlineS and the
Civil Aeronautics Board are
insistent that the affinity"
be Of six months standing
and no outsiders beyond i'm
mediate family, wives and
children, be included.
But the winds of change
are blowing across the At
lantic.
The great Jet planes have
almost twice as many seats
as the prop planes.

THEY GO twice as fast.

Some oversimplify this
equation by saying that it
means four times as many
seats available on the same
number of planes crossing
the Atlantic.
It isn't quite that, but it
does amount to three times
as many seats.
So the airlines have a new
idea.
They will take groups OF
Is passengers or more who
stay together going and COM
ing on their regularly Sched-
uled flights at SO per cent

And they are not so con-
cerned about prior affin-

State Takes Over
First Colony S&L
Funds Frozen
At EdIin Firm
After Hearing

Accounts were frozen and
on checks halted to-
day as the State took over OPP
Grafton of the First Colony
Savings & Loan Association of
Elkton and Prince Frederick.
The firm, which State au-
thorities say has $2.4 million
in savings and 1000 share
holders, was placed yesterday
under the conservatorship of
Albert w. Ward, State director
of assessments and taxation.
Along with the First Cont
mental Savings, g. Loan ASsoci-
alton of Chevy Chase, placed in
early in January,
First Colony is controlled by j
Kenneth Edlin, SO, Miami and
Chicago promoter, according
to the State and Federal au-
thoritieS.
Awaiting Sentence
Mr.. Edlin is now awaiting
sentence on a charge of mail
fraud to which he pleaded mo
contest" December 8 in Federal
Court in Baltimore.
Thus the State, for all practi-
cal purposes. has achieved con-
troll of both Edlin enterprises
in Maryland. They were started
in 1858, at the time of a boom
in out-of- State-owned savings
and loan firms, some of which
have hit the financial rocks.
Mr.. Ward said that an audit
of First Colony'S assets, includ-
ing appraisals of its real
estate, would be started "as
soon as possible" to determine
the firms stability.
The firm was placed in con-
servatorship yesterday after a
hearing before Cecil County
Judge Edward D. E. Rollins in
Elkton.
Appearing before Judge Rol-
Inns with the request for con-
servatorship was Deputy At
torney General Joseph Kauf-
man. The firms attorney, Will
liam Addison, of Baltimore,
consented to the action.
State Audit Cited
according to the Associ-
ated Press, Mr.. Addison said
the States audit of the firm
showed it was insolvent.
Company officers agreed
to the conservatorship, he
said, because public hys-
terra" generated by other
savings and loan closings had
caused a run" on the firm
The action on First Colony
brings to 10 the number of
associations which have been
affected by the savings and
loan law since it took effect
last June. Five in nearby Mary
land are in receiverShip, three
in conservatorship. one has
been forced into another bust
ness operation and one into
Federal bankruptcy.
The attorney general had
been close to requesting a re-
ownership action for First Col
ony in recent weeks but de-
cided to seek the less costly
conservatorship instead.
A receivership usually means
the liquidation Of an associa-
ton and distribution of avail
able assets. Under a conserva-
torship, an effort is made to
put the firm back in sound
financial condition If possible.
Purpose Of Action
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan said that the purpose
of the conServatorship action
is Ito preserve the remaining
assets of the depositors."

books and records of the COM
pany revealed that it was being
operated in a manner which
