Epidemic in Somerset
Believed Not Influenza

The battling epidemic that
has hit Somerset County on
the Eastern Shore of Mary
land is probably not influenza
but a new disease or, at the
least. a rarely reported one,
DR.. Gregory Dimijian Of the
United States Public Health
Service said today.
But luckily, he said, 1t is
mild, and no deaths have been
directly attributed to II. He
said the disease still is wide
spread in the county.
He announced that he and
DR.. George Thornton, also Of
the Public Health Service. and
local officials, conducted a
telephone survey Of part of
the epidemic area. Between
one-third and one-half of the
persons surveyed said they had
had SYMPTOMS Of the mystery
disease some time this winter,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-03-30

The survey area. from Danes
Quarters to the Chesapeake
Bay, has a population of 1.4s5.
1t is only a part of the epidemic
area in which perhaps 1900 or
more persons have been
stricken. The disease makes its
victims feel weak, and it may
last a month or more.
DR.. Dimijian said he does not
expect the origin of the
mysterious disease to be
determined for weeks because
1t probably will take that long
to grow cultures from blood
samples.
DR.. Dimikian ruled out con-
ventional infectious hepatitis
as a cause Of the epidemic. I'VE
have seen no cases with
jaudice, which would be ex-
pected with hepatitis," he said.

Americans Fight Off Reds
In 2-Hour Korean Battle

Mr.. Grambialer had no time
to place his hastily assembled
rear guard in fox holes and
they fought lying on the
ground. Because of this, Capt.
Scott said, the Americans did
not dare fire illumination
flares. The flares would have

The names Of the five
wounded Americans were with

said that even though their
wounds were superficial he
would recommend they receive

Some officers speculated that
the North Koreans we're seek

raiders used only conclusion

stun a man. They fired little

SPECIAL REPORT
NEW TIDES ON SHORE
MoryIond's Troubled Peninsula
Solving Its Race Conflict
BY PAUL HOPE
Star staff Writer

Just 80 years ago a tide of ra-
cial emotionalism swept Maryland's
Eastern Shore. Before it was over
two Negroes had been lynched.
Today, spurred by the recent bat
tie Of Cambridge, a new and differ
ent wave is sweeping the shore.
Racial barriers are topping from the
upper peninsula to the Virginia Dor
der.
"Integration is coming over the
shore faster than anybody ever
dreamed it would" said Oscar Nor
ris, editor of the Salisbury Times,
biggest daily paper on the Shore.
Negroes are being admitted to
white restaurants. Lodging places
are being opened. Church doors are
opening. Negroes are moving out of
the theater balconies into the down.
stairs. Some are finding jobs they've
never been able to get before.
Not every place is desegregated,
and the amount of desegregation
varies from place to place. But
progress is being made.
The Maryland Shore, where
Southern tradition is strong and
individualism is considered major
virtue, has two examples for guild
ance in handling racial problems:
Salisbury, where desegregation has
occurred peacefully, and Cambridge,
where the townspeople, Negro and
white. treated themselves to an
emotional hinge that brought ter
ror, violence and the National
Guard.

Shoremen Independent

AS they gather in Annapolis dur
ing sessions Of the Legislature, the
favorite drinking song of the shore
men ends:
I'VE don't give a damn for the
whole State of Maryland, we're from
the Eastern Shore"
With the Atlantic Ocean on the
east and the Chesapeake Bay on the
west, the Eastern Shore has been,
until recently, an isolated section
Of Maryland.
For many years there were two
Maryland treasurers, one for the
Shore and one for the rest Of the
State.
Maryland was a border State in
the Civil War and the sympathies Of
most Shoremen were with the South.
Many Of them died fighting for the
Confederacy. A memorial in the

Lesson Learned

Everyone on the shore has
learned lesson from Cambridge"
said william Cole, a member Of the
town commission of Denton, where
restaurants we're. quietly desegre-
gated a few weeks ago.
A dozen jurisdictions have an
nounced desegregation of most
places Of public accommodation or
have appointed biracial commits
sionS to work toward that end.
Ironically, the desgregation is oc-
curing in the section of Maryland
which for years resisted passage of
State law to bar racial discrimina-
ton in eating and sleeping places.
The law finally was passed this
year only after the Legislature
agreed to exempt Shore counties
from its provisions.
tits inevitable. There's no use in
fighting something when you have
no chance of winning" said William
=. EAASS, PASoAuShs Va VAC NCheASNAAS
town commissioners.
Mr.. Price claims it was mistake
to pass law applying to only part
Of the State.
1T ought to be all one way or the
other; it's not fair the way 1t is" he
said.
While there is strong segregation
list sentiment on the Eastern Shore.
that isn't the only reason its legis-
lators opposed the public accommo-
dations law. They believe strongly
in the right Of proprietors to run
their businesses the way they see
fit. And perhaps Just as important,
they don't like to be told what to do.

Manila Summit
Settles Dispute
On Malaysia
Southeast Asian
Leaders Conclude
Series of Pucts

MANILA. Aug. 5 (AP) The |
leaders Of Malaga, Indonesia
and the Philippines ended their
summit meeting today with a
pledge to work together for
peace and progress in South
east Asia.
The three countries an
nounced a solution to their
quarrel over the Malaysian
Federation.
In a solemn ceremony at the
Philippine Foreign Ministry,
Indonesian President Sukarno,
Malayan Prime Minister Tunku
Abdul Rahman and Philippine
President Diosdado Macapagal
signed agreements designed to
bring the three states closer
together and solve the Malaysia
dispute.
One agreement presented a
detailed outline Of instructions
to United Nations Secretary
General U Thant on how to
ascertain the wishes of the
people of North Borneo and
Sarawak concerning Malaysia.
Elections Are Key
The two British territories
are scheduled to join Singapore
and Malaga in the Malaysia
Federation on August 81. The
statement said the United Ma
tons should take into account
recent elections in the two ter
ritories to assess whether the
people want to join Malaysia.
Mr.. Thant was asked to
verify whether Malaysia was a
major issue in the elections,
whether electoral registers were
properly compiled, whether
they were free and whether
the votes were properly counted.
The implication was that, If
these conditions were met, the
Indonesians would not demand
a referendum.
The new federation Is in
tended as a bulwark against
Communist encroachment in
the area.
Other Points
Differences over whether the
people Of North Borneo and
Sarawak should be contacted
before or after the formation
Of Malaysia had threatened to
wreck the Manila summit.
Indonesia and the Philip
pines had opposed formation
until after the people were
polled. Britain refused to per-
NIT referendums until after the
territories are admitted to
Malaysia. It was then that
Mr.. Thant was called in to try
to resolve the issue.

agreement!

Though the late H. L. Mencken
probably would disagree, State SEN
ator Harry Hughes Of Caroline
County holds that the Eastern
Shore is not as "ultraconservative,
bigoted or provincial" as it is usu-
ally pictured elsewhere. Nor is it
as neutrality-suspicious. as most peo-
pie think, he said.
In his heyday as a Baltimore
journalist, Mencken carried on a
running feud With the Eastern
Shore. His acid pen was never more
biting than during the period Of the
lynchings of the early 1930s. He re-
ferred to the Shores TOUCHDOWN pol

ers, ignorant hedge preachers and

To Mencken, the Shore was a
Swampland that should secede from
the rest of the State. Shoremen
once overturned two newspaper
trucks from Baltimore, beat the
drivers and threw the papers into
the Chesapeake Bay.
At ones point, large numbers OF
Eastern Shoremen drove to Balti-
more with large signs plastered on
their cars and trucks proclaiming:
IT am an EASTERN SHOREMAN
and proud of It,"
In the State Legislature, the "city
boys" and the country cousins"
still feud. Many Shore legislators
believe they have saved the State
from being turned over to liberals
who they think are bent on MAX
ing Maryland socialized State.

the House of Delegates introduced
