Probable Site Of Monocacy Village Topic At Rotary Talk
Adventures of a scientist using modern lab methods to locate the first white settlement in Western Maryland were shared with Rotarians. Dr. James A. Boyd of Camp Detrick proposed Monocacy Village near Ceresville as the probable site, arguing records point away from Creagersstown and toward Fredericktown. The study reinterprets Muhlenberg's diary and Lutheran Reform records, tracing village links through church members and land ownership to narrow the location to a spot near Ceresville in Frederick County.

Russian Spy Story Held Too Fantastic

Lincoln White said the charge was another dismal example of phony Communist propaganda. The Russian release said four men confessed to jumping from an American plane and being executed after their diversionist and espionage acts. The CIA declined to comment.

B and O completes diesel fleet expansion in Baltimore
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad announces it has received its final diesel locomotives, totaling 800 diesel units and 281 switchers. The railroad plans to run about 75 percent of freight, 53 percent of passenger traffic, and 63 percent of yard switching with diesels, while keeping some steam engines. Eight years earlier diesels accounted for a small share, with the company resisting full dieselization to cushion against recession and avoid risk from idle equipment. The piece also notes budget constraints and cautious expansion plans.
