Montgomery and Loudoun
County planning officials in
dicated lack Of interest yester-
day in promised recreational
benefits from flooding of large
areas Of their counties by a
proposed high dam on the
Potomac at Blockhouse Point
near Seneca, Md.
Montgomery County tends to
discount" the value Of recrea-
ton opportunities from the re-
sorvoir to be created by the
dam, Mrs. Caroline Freeland, a
member Of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, declared.
Attacks Arguments
Her attack on recreational
benefits, one Of the key argu-
ments being used by the Army
Corps of Engineers to justify
the proposed $10O-million-plus
cost Of the Seneca dam, was
Joined by Mrs. Robert s. Pick
ems, a member of the Loudoun
County Planning Commission.
THE recreation to be pro-
vided by dams is a type already
offered in the Washington
area" declared Mrs. Pickens.
The planning officials made
their statements at a meeting
last night in the Arlington
County Court House sponsored
by the National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council.
Meanwhile, Assistant Sur
geon General Gordon E. Nc.
Callum, at a conference of
State Sanitary Engineers, said
that dams are needed in the
Potomac River Basin to do
the full job" Of controlling
pollution.

chief of the Water Supply
and Pollution Control Division
stated.
The price of water quality
will be high in the years
ahead" he told the engineers.

%. and we cannot allow our
selves or others to be lulled
in the hope that there may
be some quick and easy way to
dispose of our water-borne
wastes and still keep our waters
clean"
The comments of the county
planning officials came in a
question-answer period follow
ing an explanation by Col. Ray
S. Kelley, Baltimore District
Engineer, of the 50-year, $500
million comprehensive plan for
development Of water resources
in the Potomac River Basin.
Cited Recreation
The plan, which is primarily
designed to meet water supply,
pollution abatement and flood
control needs in the basin, is
targeted for presentation to
Congress "by or about" next
January, Col. Kelley said.
At the meeting, Col. Kelley
mentioned the recreation bene-
fits when it was pointed out
that the reservoir would take
about $4,000 acres off Loudoun
County's tax rolls, much Of it

industrial development, and
about 5000 acres in Mont
gomery County where very
little land sells under $500 an
acre"
Elsewhere in the country
where dams have been built
the economic loss from the re-
moval Of land from the tax
rolls is temporary and more
than offset by increase in
revenues from newly created
recreation opportunities such
as boating, fishing and swim
ming, Col. Kelley explained.

Cambridge racial relations con-
tinued strained and National
Guardsmen were on duty for
the 18th day.
Meanwhile, Negro leaders to-
day initiated efforts to resume
talks with Cambridge officials
aimed at ending the racial
strife there.
Mrs. Gloria Richardson,
chairman Of the Non-Violent
Action Committee, telegraphed
Mayor Calvin w. Mowbray to
urge a meeting tonight Ito de-
wise alternate, just solutions to
remove the existing barrier be-
tween us, and to reach mutual
accord which would totally end
the crisis in our city"

council to demands of the in

Solution Announced
The indignation in Princess
Anne, about so miles south Of
Cambridge, was announced by
Alexander Jones, chairman Of

He said it was achieved in
q series Of meetings with the
school board, clergy and res
taurant owners. The restau-
rants agreeing to serve Negroes
include the five largest in the
town of about 1900 and site of

Salisbury, the Shores largest
city with more than $4,000 and
80 miles east Of Cambridge, had
voluntarily integrated public
accommodations more than a
year ago. Easton, 16 miles west
Of Cambridge, last week an
nounced plans to do so starting
July 8.
Negro leaders in Chestertown,
on the upper Shore, said Tues
day night they we're satisfied
with progress being made in
desegregation and forestalled
any demonstrations.
Await Hearing
Cecil County, one of the
shores nine counties is in
cluded in this months State
law requiring equal public ac-
commodations, and several
other shore towns have named
bi-racial commissions to seek
iT1tegration satisfactory to Ne
groeS.
The uneasy racial truce in
Cambridge appeared to hinge
on the outcome of a Court of
Appeals hearing involving the
two 15-year-old Cambridge Ne
groes who were convicted early
in June as delinquents.
Their release from State re-
formatories has been one of
the conditions demanded by
the Cambridge Nonviolent Ac-
ton Committee before peace
can be achieved. The two. a

heard. Normally, juveniles cam

of his ways and really tried to
do something about it.
MaSiello was arrested in
January, 1861, for running a
numbers game and was con-
victed in the United States
District Court. He was released

BY this time, Masiello had
gained 100 pounds on his 6-foot
frame. His wrists were SO
muscular that the marshals
could not handcuff him. Mast

Kodiak Fishing Skipper Survives Shipwreck In Which Two Persons Died

KODIAK tR - A veteran Ko- diak fishing boat skipper walked into the police station here yester- day afternon and told of hiking through rugged mountainous coun- try after surviving shipwreck in which two persons died.
 Lucky" Eckenberg said his yes sel, the Barracuda, went onto the rocks about 10 miles north of here and sank Thursday night. He said the two other persons aboard, Mike Brehken and Agnes Shrump, were washed overheard.
 Eckenberg said he made his way ashore, recovered the body of the woman, and left it in place protected by rocks. He said he did not find Brehken's body.
 "It's miracle he made it back" said James Bashline of the Kodiak Police Department. ''He was soak ed clear through and had nothing left but rags on his feet"
 Eckenberg told police he found trapper's cabin with some matches and dry wood in it and was able to warm himself.
 He said he had been headed for Afognak Island, where his family lives, when he encountered heavy seas, headed back and was washed onto the rocks.
 The Coast Guard had been con- ducting an extensive search since the Barracuda radioed Thursday night that it was taking on water
 Eckenberg, who had survived two previous shipwrecks, is gen. erally known here by his nick name: "Lucky."

Asian Flu Assumes Epidemic Size

WASHINGTON R - A shock wave of Asian flu - wintry friend of death is hitting the eastern seaboard and leapfrogging inland as far as Kansas. US. Pub lie Health Service officials can't say for sure, but the odds are it will spread in local outbreaks across the country.
 In sampling of 1O8 cities, the Public Health Service reports that pneumonia influenza deaths have been running over the epi- demic threshold for four weeks.
 Especially vulnerable are the elderly, the chronically ill and pregnant women.
 The Public Health Service warn- cd earlier this year that follow ing the normal cycle Asian flu likely would strike the nation hard this winter. For a while it looked as though the warning was wrong. Then, in mid-January, the pattern of Asian flu appeared. Now it is expected to stay until mid-March when it generally declines.
 Asian influenza is one of the "A" type influenza viruses which seem to strike every two or three years. It was first seen in the win ter of 1957-58. Vaccines were hur- riedly made against the virus and distributed widely across the United States.
 Officials believe that the vac cines took the top off of the epi- demic that year - but it still was of great proportions. A wave of the disease in the fall of 1857 was as- sociated with 39,30O excess deaths above the normal death rate. This winter has left 10000 excess deaths.
 It struck the United States again in 1860 and there were 26,7OO ex- cess deaths.
 From those epidemics, experts have determined that people over 45 are in the risk category-with those over 65 in the area of great est risk.

Missing Ship Is Mystery

NEW YORK R - The mystery of the disappearance of the sul- phur-carrying tanker Marine Sul- phur Queen continued to deepen over the weekend.
 Did the 524-foot ship sink in the severe Atlantic storm that lashed the southeast coast with 40 mph winds, churning up 14-foot waves?
 Are the tanker and her crew of 39 in Cuba? If so, was she hijacked or did she become disabled and drift into Cuban waters?
 Six search planes were ordered to scan the southeast Atlantic from Cape Hatteras, N.C., to Fort Pierce, Fla, covering an area roughly 25O miles offShore.

RESOLUTION OUTLAWING
 POLL TAX PASSES HOUSE

JUNEAU R - A resolution rati- flying an amendment to the United States Constitution to outlaw poll tax in election of federal officers drew a mixed reaction in the House today before its was approved 27-8.

 Speaking for the resolution, Rep. Joseph Josephson said that the measure applied only to elections for President and Vice President of the United States, and members of Congress.
 He said that the poll tax had been eliminated in every state ex- cept Mississippi and Alabama.

Mining Conference
 Condemns US. Pegging Price of Gold at $35 Ounce

DENVER JAP The National Western Mining Conference con- demned by resolution Saturday the governments insistence of begging the price of gold at $35 an ounce.
 The resolution adopted at the final business session, followed a talk to the conference by Leland Howard, director of the US. Treasury's domestic gold and sil- yer office, who said the govern ment would adhere firmly to the $35 price
 Stable money is indispensable to our country and will not long remain possible without a change in the value of gold, unless fiscal responsibility is demonstrated by our Treasury" the resolution said.
 Rep. Ed Edmonson, chairman of the Mines and Mining Subcommit- tee of the House Interior Commit tee, told neWsrnen the administra- tion has a "ploughed under ap- preach" to the gold problem.
 'The straight $35 an ounce price, he said, rules out of existence all domestic gold mining in this coun- try. There is not a gold mine of any size now operating"
 Edmonson also urged an attack on what he called the basic ail- ment of the mining industry - the competition of low cost imports of concentrates and ores.
 "A very high percentage oi these imports are heavily subsi- dized by the foreign governments where they originate" he said "We must counter with some new i approach

Would Prohibit Residents Of Indian Reservation From Getting Commercial Fishing Licenses

JUNEAU R Rep. Frank Cashel today introduced a bill which, in effect, would prohibit residents of the Annette Island Indian reservation from obtain ing state commercial salmon fish ing licenses.
 Under provisions of the meas ure any person resident in an In- dian reservation which has been authorized by the federal govern ment to use and uses commercial fishing gear prohibited by state law would be ineligible for any type of commercial salmon fishing license.
 While the bill did not specifical- ly mention it, nor was Cashel available for immediate comment, the legislation was aimed at the operation of fish traps by the resi- dents of the Annette Island re- servation.
 They have been permitted to use traps this year, even though Ordi- nance No. 3, voted on by the states residents when they rati- fled Alaska's Constitution, speci- fically forbids the use of traps in state waters.

Highways Report Asks $l33,S33,OOO For Road Building

JUNEAU LR - A Department of Highways report outlining the need for the expenditure of about $133,- 833,000 in the construction or re- construction of local service roads was handed to the legislature to- day by Gov. Wm. Egan.
 The report said that about half of the figure would be needed to bring 545.4 miles of existing serv- ice roads up to maintainable stand ards. The rest was earmarked for an estimated 6929 miles of new construction.
 In an accompanying message to the House and Senate, the governor suggested that the lawmakers di- rect the Legislative Council to make a comprehensive study of the report and the whole problem of local service roads, including means of financing them.
 ''The problem of initiating a pro- gram for construction and main tenance of an adequate system of local service roads is important and requires the development of a solution," Egan said.
 Before such program can be started, he said, three basic de- cisions must be made. These are:
 l. Establishment of responsi- bility for local service roads;
 2. Scope of the program which can be feasibly undertaken on a statewide basis; and
 3. Methods of financing the costs of construction and maintenance.
 Noting the interest of borough study groups throughout the state in the problem of local service roads, Egan said that if decision is reached to assign part of the re- sponsibility to boroughs, those persons outside of the boroughs using roads also should pay their share.
 While there are many possible alternatives on financing local service road construction and main- tenance, it is obvious that no pro- gram can be reasonable developed which would require borough resi- dents to pay for part of their local service roads while exempting those living outside boroughs from paying their share for their roads," the governor said.

Secretary Ball Calls for An End to Congressional Attacks On Cuban Policy

WASHINGTON R - Undersec- retary of State George Ball has called for an end to congressional attacks on the Kennedy admins tration's Cuban policy.
 His plea, delivered with visible emotion Sunday in a television in terview, capped a weekend of con- gressional pro and con on Cuba.
 "It is little extraordinary that we keep hectoring one another," Ball said. He also had harsh words for voluntary intelligence gather CTS" who like to make speeches. But he declined to say political motives are behind the criticism.
 Balls appearance came a few hours after Republican Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania revived the charge that President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Khrushchev had made a missiles deal in the Cuban crisis.
 Scott said that while he can't prove it, he suspects there may have been some kind of under standing ''betWeen Khrushchev and our President whereby before the election Khrushchev would remove the missiles and after the election we would abandon our bases along the Mediterranean"
 Pennsylvania's Democratic Sen. Joseph Clark sprang to the admin istration's defense. Calling Scott's statement inaccurate and untrue," Clark said such trash talk does grave disservice to our foreign policy and is not in the national interest"

Joint Resolution Calls For Federal Funds to Transfer Nunivak Deer

JUNEAU R - A joint reSOlu- tion asking for federal funds to transfer portion of the Nunivak Island reindeer herd to the main land of western and northwest Alaska passed the House unani- mously today.
 The measure was described as a follow-up on requests which had been made by previous legisla- lures.
 ''In 1887, the federal government purchased all reindeer owned by white people in Alaska and Con- gress ruled that raising reindeer be a purely native industry" said Rep. Robert Blodgett.
 "At that time there was in ex- cess of 75,0OO head of reindeer in Alaska.
 Under Bureau of Indian Affairs control, Alaska now boasts only in excess of 43,OOO reindeer, and the bulk of those on Nunivak Is- land.
 Because of this over-population on Nunivak Island, the industry is dying a slow and agonizine death" Blodgett said.

Shamrock Crop hit by Cold

DUBLIN, Ireland R The severe winter has wiped out most of Ireland's shamrock crop, and it's a poor outlook for St. Patrick's s Day in America.
 We fly out a ton of shamrock every year," said one American pilot. ''This year our suppliers say we can't have it."
 Growers are worried that foreign manufacturers will grab the mar kets with sham shamrock.
