State Asks Federal AM in Worst Storm of Generation 9 Nine Dead in State 6 Still Missing at Beach Haven NEWARK (AP) The struggle to reclaim coastal New Jersey from a two-day pounding of wind and sea began today even as the last of the floodwaters hit the coast again. Gov. Richard J. Hughes appealed to President Kennedy yesterday to declare the battered coastal counties disaster areas. This appears to be one of the worst disasters of recent year in New Jersey, with substantial loss of life and property damage in the millions of dollars," Hughes messaged Kennedy.

A decision on the disaster designation was expected by Saturday. A. D. OConnor of the federal governments Office of Emergency Planning, arrived in Trenton from Harvard last night and made a quick survey of some damaged areas. OConnor meets with state officials today and will prepare a report on the states condition.

The toll o. dead in the late winter northeaster rose to nine, with six more persons listed as missing on hard hit Long Beach Island. They have been missing for two days. (30 Million Damage Official estimates were that damage would go over (30 million, or far more than the (25 million done by Hurricane Donna in 1955. With thousands of South Jerseyans already homeless, widespread evacuation operations continued.

National Guard, Coast Guard and Army unfts joined state, local and Civil Defense workers in moving supplies to isolated communities and rescuing the refugees from flood and gale. Civil Defense headquarters in Cape May County said early today that a major effort would be made to complete evacuation of Avalon and Sea Isle City. Three miles of hastily-built roadway between Ocean View and Sea Isle City was washed out again last night by high seas, halting rescue operations. About 135 of the 900 to 1,000 inhabitants of Sea Isle City rode to safety before the washout. Fifteen patients, mostly cardiac cases, and 15 of the staff of Mercy Hoepital were brought out by helicopter.

About half of the 600 inhabitants of beleaguered Avalon were rescued, but the rest must be brought out today, a Civil Defense spokesman said. Coast Flooded Coastal cities from Monmouth County to the tip of Cape May were flooded up to five feet. Some resort town streets and roads were under three feet of sand. The sea was still running two to three feet above normal this morning, but the Weather Bureau said tides and winds would diminish during the day. Local flooding was expected to be negligible by nightfall.

Winds, which hit 60 miles an hour dunng the height of the storm, went down to the 20 to 30 mile range this morning and were to keep dropping throughout the day. The big storm stood several hundred miles out to sea, the Weather Bureau said. Its two centers W'ere approximately off the New Jersey and Carolina coasts. State Conservation Commissioner H. Mat Adams, who made the estimate of damage costs, called the storm A real disaster worse than anything weve seen here in our generation." Estimate Statewide Losses At More Than $30 Million He estimated that Atlantic City alone sustained a (3 million loss.

Fire Problem Fire also stalked the inundated shoreline, especially in the Wildwood area. Scores of blazes were attributed mainly to flood-caused short circuiting and heating plant failures. Further inland, the snow that blanketed south central counties caused five deaths. In advance of any federal disaster designation, three of the four hardest hit counties have declared states of emergency They were Cape May, Monmouth and Ocean. Atlantic County, where an estimated 20,000 homes were without electricity and more than 100 fires broke out, has not issued an emergency proclamation Hughes request to the White House asked for a disaster (See HUGHES ASKS, Page 3) Weather 7 a.m.

Years Delay By Authority Is Indicated WOODBRIDGE There will be no Garden State Parkway interchange in the Middletown-Holmdel area this year. This was made a near certainty yesterday by D. Louis Tonti, executive director of the New Jersey Highway. He said he will "enthusiastically urge" the authority to delay the proposed interchange at Red Hill Rd. in Holmdel and free the (478,000 authorized for the project so it can be used on other projects in North Jersey.

Authority Meets Today The authority meets today, and Is expected to respond favorably to Mr. Tontis urging. The parkway directors statement came at the end of a 90-minute meeting with representatives of Monmouth County, Holmdel and Middletown Townships and Bell Telephone Laboratories. John M. Pillsbury, of Roberts, Carton and Pillsbury, Atlantic Highlands, legal counsel for the county, in a summary for those present, asked Mr.
