Seasonable ~ é TWENTY-FOUR: PAGES ' Florida atte By Dora §T. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP)-- Hurricane Dora smashed at St, Augustine and Jacksonville to- day with a giant hammer of wind and tide, then veered in- jand to threaten Florida's gulf coast and southern Georgia, The massive storm, torment- ing 100,000 square miles of land and sea with tides up to 10 feet and peak winds of 100 miles an hour, sent gales whistling to- ward Florida's panhandje and north along the Atlantic coast to South Carolina. \ 'Brunswick, Ga., about 100 miles north of St. Augustine, suffered its worst pounding in 20 years from a five-foot tide and gusts that shattered win- dows and ripped roofs at 65 miles an hour. Unofficial estimates put dam- age in the tens of millions of dollars, Water flowed hip deep in the ancient Slave Market Square of St. Augustine. Giant old oaks that have weathered tempests through the centuries were uprooted by what old timers called the worst storm in memory. Most streets were inundated. Power was out. In Jacksonville--a city of 250,000 with a modern, gleam- ing skyline--homes were up- roofed, streets flooded, power lines, and trees tossed to the ground in a tangle. Where tides could not reach to damage buildings, torrential gains lashed by the winds did. Hundreds of homes had wind- driven .rains on their: floors. The weather bureau advised that more battering was to come. ~~ Rains of 10 to 15 inches were predicted for the rest of north- ern Florida and oahoanee solo, nome Chaotic State W DELHI (CP)--The gov- imeoe of Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri took control to- day of chaotic Kerala state in southwest India to ward off a Communist threat. President Radhakrishnan is- gued a proclamation dissolving the Kerala legislature and turn- ing over to New Delhi control all state affairs. The proclam- ation said that the crisis in the Communist stronghold pre- vented constitutional g 0 v er n- ment from existingt here.

Floodwaters swirled three or four blocks from the beach and ran in some streets like a small river. Live wires hissed like enakes. The top of a 47-year-old hotel was destroyed. The roof was ripped from a motel. The liv- ing room of a home was swept away.

The roof of one building was blown completely away. Two other roofs were badly dam- aged. Windows were smashed, and sheets of tin pitched into the streets. A ferris wheel was smashed on Jekyll Island. Damage figures were ex- pected to run high in St. Augus- tine when people were able to leave shelter to take stock. Typhoon Heads For Hong Kong HONG KONG (AP)--The riot squad was called out to control thousands of panicky Chinese who rushed aboard ferries to the mainland today as typhoon Sally whirled toward Hong King with potentially devastating winds up to 200 miles an hour.

However, Mr. Pearson called an immediate meeting of the cabinet ai a quick Liberal party Ca was being set up. MAY BE COMPROMISE These actions indicated that some sort of compromise pro- posal had been discussed and the prime minister wanted to put it before his colleagues. Before the leaders met, Mr. Diefenbaker had a long confer- ence in his own office with a half-dozen of his senior MPs, They included House Leader Gordon Churchill (Winni- peg South Centre) and Whip Eric Winkler (Grey - Bruce). The MPs accompanied Mr. Diefenbaker upstairs to Mr, Pearson's office but did not So in. The prime minister's spokes- man said there might be a statement by Mr. Pearson later in the day after the Com- mons sitting opened at 2 p.m. DT. "Tt will be made in the House," he added.

In the meantime Parliament was agog over the murder of India's solicitor-general, H. N. Sanyal, 62, found strangled in his bedroom Wednesday, ap- parently by burglars. ; In the upper house opposition members demanded a special investigation into the murder, which one member described as "a very suspicious affair." The solicitor general had been entrusted with investigating corruption in Orissa state. Mrs. Summerville Seeking Election TORONTO (CP)--Mrs. Alice Summerville, widow of former mayor Donald D. Summerville, announcedt oday she will seek election Dec. 7, as an alder- man in Ward Eight in the city's east end.

By THE CANADIAN PRESS The first byelections since Ontario's Conservative govern- ment was returned to office a year ago were held in two pro- vincial ridings today with little at stake as far as the govern- ment was concerned but with opposition prestige hanging partly in the balance.

With the leadership conven- tion just one week away, Mr. Templeton, 48, stood as the man with the most to gain, The leadership race is still regarded as wide open, and a Riverdale win could catapult him to the top.

Mr. Malaysia Lacking UN Council Votes The debate was enlivened by an attempt by Ismail to put be- fore the council a bloodstained uniform, a mortar and automa- tic gun and white parachute. He said they were captured from Indonesians who had in- vaded Malaysia. ORDERS REMOVAL Soviet Ambassador Platon D.

The wnion also is expected to demand the same pattern--in- cluding a possible pension in 1965 of up to $400 a month at age 60--from American Motors Corporation,, scores of supplier plants and the agricultural im- plement industry. : The big three of GM, Ford and Chrysler employ more than 500,000 UAW-represented work- ers, Their contrgrts often set national pattern?

Leary, Chrysler vice- president, agreed the settlement was non-inflationary, but said no decision had been made as to what effect, if any, it would have on prices of 1965 Chrysler models.

Not all was contentment, however, among Chrysler work- ers. Some 60 pickets blocked the three gates to the Dodge main plant in suburban Ham- tramck Wednesday night, com- plaining their local grievances had not been settled.

Should the Liberals fail to win in either riding, a -pall would surely be thrown over their convention a week hence, when seven candidates will con- test the leadership.
