The Economic Development Commission reported 24 industries are actively seeking sites in Maryland, some even considering Southern California. Potential jobs total at least 5,000 if locations materialize, though actual decisions depend on local interest. Hubley noted a slow job-creation trend despite 40 new firms, and the panel pressed for rapid development of the Development Credit Corp. and staff expansion. Bernard Manekin was named vice chairman, with new committees formed for tourism and industrial development.

Clear Spring Water Outlined By Soil Tests
CAPE CANAVERAL FLA AP The United States launched an unmanned Project Mercury capsule for a severe test but lost radio contact with the Atlas booster 65 seconds after liftoff. Test borings were taken in the soil at Clear Spring to assess water storage capacity as the town plans to expand its water supply. Twelve holes were sunk by soil officials and town leaders observed, with soil reportedly holding water well and samples sent for analysis. The town hopes a natural pond on watershed land could become a water source, aided by a perpetual spring indicated on 1840 maps.
