NEW YORK (AP) - Hurricane Hazel, one of the most danger- Jusly erratic storms of the cen- ury, grazed Washington with un- zllFp3.SlCd fury Friday night and lmashed into the northeastern ltates.

At least nine persons died when :he hurricane swept into the Car- lllllBB from the sea and battered is way northward. Thousands were .1nmElE55. as it moved along with express train speed.

There were signs that the storm -third hurricane to hit the pop- .iuus northeast in six wceks-was cxpendlng its strength. But it was rlvlng by alnlost imperceptible de- grees and. in its death throes, it was menacingly wicked. Fears were expressed it would reach southern Ontario.

Ashore and at sea millions cring- ed before its awesome might.

Ships frantically changed course. Alzplanes fled like game birds be- fore s. forest-fire. Men pitted their puny strength in a frantic battle to blunt its d'estructlvencse.

HOST ERRATIO

None of the country's big ses- board cities was directly in its path. but Weathermen called it ”onc of the most erratic hurri- cancs in history."
