Deaths Increase
500 in Maryland,
Flu Is Blamed

The Maryland State Health
Department today blamed in

deaths of hundreds in the State

The death rate from al
causes Is UP 20 per cent over
last year-an increase Of 500
Probably the chief reason
for these increased deaths IL
Influenza" DR.. jain Janney
chief Of communicable diseases
said.
Three hundred cases were
attributed directly to pneu-
monia or influenza, but DR.
Janney said flu may have con-
tributed to other excess
deaths among the aged anc
chemically Ill. !
District statistics have shown
that most deaths from flu anc
pneumonia were among persons
over 40, with deaths from these
causes up ITO per cent in per.
sons IS and over.
The elderly have also beer
hard hit in Virginia. Five
deaths have been reported from
flu and pneumonia in one

The Maryland General AS
sembly last week was petitioned
for the fifth straight year to
create q public authority to
supervise all Assateague Island
development. The requests have
come from w. Z. Green Of
Snow Hill, who wants the State
to buy out private landowners
on the island.
Simultaneous Work Seen
Mr.. Zimmerman said he
thought bridge and dune con-
struction could be done stimuli
taneously, but will precede any
other island development. The
dune-line should be built 400
feet back from the highwater
mark and extend Is to 20 feet
in height, he added. ~
The dunes would be anchored
with trees and shrubs, and
contain pedestrian underpasses.
Construction is not expected
to begin for at least a year
because Of the time-consuming
studies needed from the Corps
Of Engineers. a.
A SIS million bridge appro-
priation was authorized by the
Maryland General Assembly
last year, but all construction
offers topped this figure and
new bids will be taken by the
State Roads Commission.

ty organizations, in an unusual

Republican claims that the pri-

The spokesman claimed that

Civic Group, by a vote Of rs to

Republican leaders have said
that 43 persons had informed
the delegation Of their support
of the primary proposal, as
compared with 35 who opposed
it. The organization presidents
claimed that these figures
failed to consider the action Of

Five general areas for con-
gressional amendments desired
in regional planning legislation
here were mapped yesterday.
But delegates to the National
Capital Regional Planning
Council, meeting in new head
quarters at 1901 Pennsylvania
avenue NV, indicated some
disagreement over several Of
the amendments.
William H. Moss, newly
elected chairman of the coun-
Gil, said the five areas were
discussed in an attempt to get
policy approval" for the
amendments, which would be
drafted for presentation to
Congress.
A proposal to put Charles A.
Horsky, President kennedy's
special adviser on National
Capital affairs, and the chair
man Of the Metropolitan WASH
ington Council of Governments,
on the RPC died in committee

Amendments Approved
The surviving five amend
ments approved for discussion
by a RPC subcommittee Of
members representing Virginia.
the District and Maryland were
as follows:
/. A proposal that the RPC
budget be supported by con-
tributionS funneled through the
National Capital Planning
Commission, MISREPRESENTATION
al Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Northern Vir-
ginia Regional Planning and
Economic Development Com
mission.
2. An amendment that would
permit local planning commits
sions and governing bodies to
participate in funds and plan
ming staff services from Federal
planning grants.
3. A suggestion that the eight
appointments to the regional
council be made by the two
subregional planning commits
sions, the Maryland and North
ern Virginia groups.
Controversy Foreseen
This appeared controversial
because county governing bodies
might want to make appoint
ments.
4. A non-controversial pro-
posal that the Council Of Gov
ernments also review regional
plans developed and approved
by the planning council.
