A little further south the
area would be converted into
a bathing beach with a bath
house; fishing area; wooden

Just north Of the existing
Chincoteague National Wildlife
Refuge, already Federally-
owned, the Island would ac-
commodate surf fishing, un-

Boating Facilities Seen
To the Refuge itself would
be added facilities for surf fish
ing, swimming, picnicking, and
nature study and enjoyment.
On the Islands southern tip
a bathing beach, walkways and
bayside boat docks would be
maintained. Development Of
this type was started on the
southern tip last fall.
The report also recommends:

Bridge by the Federal Govern
ment.

access be provided by the exist
ing bridge at the southern end
of the island and a new bridge
at the location proposed by the
State of Maryland.
3. That the northern nine
miles be administered as a State
park by the Maryland Depart
ment of Forests and Parks
with cooperative agreement
for the management of the en-
tire National SeaShore, unless
Maryland wishes to relinquish
this area to the Federal Gov
eminent.
4. That all development of
private supporting facilities for
food, lodging and other services
to the public be limited to the
adjacent mainland.
After weighing all factors
carefully" the bureau has con-
cluded that the greatest public
benefits could be accomplished
through public ownership and
development of the whole island

poses, Mr.. Udall said.
He said that from an eco

In the area of Catawba, in

Is Fires Around Airport
Another major fire was re-
pored at Friendship Interna-

airport said there were is sep

leading officials to believe they
were purposely set. Four boys,
picked up by airport police, were

Linthicum Heights, Md, with
malicious burning and held
him in lieu of $500 bond.
Reports that the Friendship
blaze threatened the fuel stor-
age areas and the control tower
were unfounded, according to
airport firemen.
In South Baltimore yesterday,
two four-alarm fires destroyed
five row houses. Two hundred
persons in the area were evacu-

Fire departments came from

said the fire danger throughout
the State was the worst in l5s
years. Estimating that 100 brush
fires had broken out, he asked,
that all outdoor burning be-
stopped until further notice.
Worst Fire Conditions
Assistant State Forester Ed
ward Rogers in Charlottesville,
Va, said there is not a county
in the State that is not en-
dangered by the fires. He
added:
This is one of the worst fire
days we have ever had. 1t COM
pares to April 4 when thou
sands of acres were ravaged in
the worst conditions of the past
10 years."
He declared the fire index
had long passed its maximum
possible danger point of 200, a
figure reached by computing
wind velocity, humidity, the
water content of the wood
lands and the number of days
since the last good rain.
Mr.. Rogers said 81 days have
passed since Virginia had an
appreciable rainfall, leaving
the drynesS of the brush at 3
when so is normal.
Wind gusts up to 40 m.p.h.
were recorded at the scene Of
a 500-acre fire in Nelson
County, near charlottesville,
where University of Virginia
students turned out to help
fight the blaze.
Dryness to Continue
The Washington weather
forecaster said there is little
relief in sight from the dryness
and low humidity that created
conditions ideal for forest fires.
No rain appears likely in the
practicable future, he said, but
winds were expected to slacken
today.
The last measurable rainfall
here was % inches on April l.
There have been only traces on
two occasions since.

National Steel
Raises Dividend

PITTSBURGH CDJ. - Ma
tional Steel Corp. increased its
quarterly dividend to As cents
from 40 cents paid in previous
quarters.
The increased dividend is pay
able December 10 to holders of
record, December 2.
Thomas E. Millsop, chairman,
said the increase dividend was
made in light Of the substantial
improvement in operating and
financial results reflected in rec
ord net income sales production
and shipments in the first nine
months of 1868.
He said the improvement has
been due to recent large scale
modernization of facilities and
to extensive efforts to reduce
costs as well as to the larger
sales volume this year.
