The storm struck with-incred- ible force just after 8.30, It last- ed for no more than 20 min- utes. Dozens of boats, both large and small, were either sunk or smashed against the. shoreline, about 12 miles west of Oshawa. A 60-foot yacht on dry land for servicing was turned over and damaged extensively. Pickering Towgghip , Police had to rescue GoSnes men caught in the middle of the bay when the storm struck. COTTAGES DAMAGED Three cottages were virtual- ly destroyed by falling trees and the gale force winds. Four float-planes were com- pletely wrecked in the storm. One was hurled over 175, feet over trees and cars before com- ing to rest with its wings torn to shreds. Miraculously, reported Pick- ering Township Police, no one was injured. : Late this morning work crews were slowly picking their way through the wreckage. Dozens of trees had been blown. down and hydro wires torn off. FIRE CALLS Pickering Township Fire Department answered two calls during the storm. One was to cope with spark- ing hydro wires torn down by a tree limb. "Those wires were jumping pretty good," when we arrived a spokesman said. The second call was to an overheated water. pump that couldn't manage the storm. No damage was done, The storm cut an ugly swathe through the Frenchman's Bay area. PLANE SMASHED "It go so black so suddenly that we didn't know what was happening," said 16 - year - old Oshawa Times carrier boy Peter Carlyon. "You should see it down here, The damage is incredible. Our own boat was blown right over and the aluminum mast smashed. "There is an airplane that looks just like match wood. It was smashed to pieces. There are overturned boats all over the harbor, "One plane has been sunk in the bay. I don't think that $50,000 is going to cover the damages here. The damage is too great." Peter Carlyon went on to say that he had just got up when the storm struck. "It got so black that I could hardly see my hand in front of WRECKING WIND SMASHES -RENCHMAN'S BAY AREA me. My father came rushing in and said we were all to get out and try and anchor the boats more firmly. It didn't do any good, The storm struck too quickly, "The marinas here have all been hit badly." Mrs. Edward Kirby, a resi- dent of Frenchman's Bay since 1933, said she was more fright. ened than she had been during the London blitz when bombs were dropped, "The noise and wind was ter- rible," she said, One of the planes smashed by the storm pulled away from two 2,000 Ib, mooring lines, It literally flew over the beach before it smashed into trees, Bob Parker, who has lived in the area for 44 years, described the storm as the worst he had ever seen, "The damage is incredible," he said, Little Relief In Showers For Ontario TORONTO (CP) -- Scattered rain over Ontario during thé night brought little relief to drought + stricken areas -- and the weather office in Toronto today predicted' hot sunny weather is-on its way from the west, "Most areas in the province got some rain but it was nothing spectacular," said transport des partment 'climatologist Tom Moyer, "It will have little reat effect considering the little rain we've had. all summer."

Wilson leaves at 4:30 p.m. (11:30 a.m. EDT) and Friday night will stop over for a few hours in Ottawa for talks with Prime Minister Pearson before returning Saturday in time for the England-West Germany soc- cer World Cup final. TO OUTLINE PLANS |British government plans to save at least $300,000,000 on overseas spending, mainly through defence cuts 'east of Suez'? and in West Germany, informed sources said. 'With the Canadian leader, Wilson also will discuss the Rhodesian independence crisis and the Commonwealth prime ministers conference in London in September. They last met in Lagos, Ni- geria, last January at the spe- cial Commonwealth conference on Rhodesia. A variety of other issues, ranging from the Rhodesian problem to Chinese intentions, also will be examined. Informants said Wilson hopes to convince the president, if he needs convincing, that Britain's battle for the pound also is partly a battle for the dollar. The prime minister said as much Wednesday when he told the House of Commons that sterling in recent weeks has U.S. Aircraft Bomb Cong SAIGON (AP) U.S. and South Vietnamese pilots struck Viet Cong positions in South Viet Nam Wednesday with new OTTAWA (CP) -- Informants say that early retirement of three high officers and senior military advisers to Defence Minister Hellyer just before the minister's public dispute with the admirals stemmed from a head-on clash over how soon to unify the armed forces. Mr. Hellyer is said to have ordered his senior advisers, if questioned by the Commons de- fence committee, to give a pic- ture of progress on integration to date that would support his intention to take the final step in 12 or 14 months to unite the navy, army and air force into a single service. However, for several reasons his advisers thought otherwise They jointly urged a delay of 'three to five years in the final step to avoid the risk of unify- ing the fighting troops without having a proven, integrated sup- ply, maintenance and training system to back them up ih an emergency. An aide to Mr. Hellyer said the minister, who returned here from Paris Wednesday, branded the report "absolutely false."" The minister made no further comment. Informants said the advisers declined to accept Mr. Hellyer's instructions on what the de- fence committee should be. told, The committee was, in fact, repeatedly told that the newly- integrated supply and mainten- ance system was untested and would need thtee to five years to be fully effective. , At the time, the imminence of unification was not apparent since Mr. Hellyer had informed the committee June 10 that the final decision on unification had not yet been taken It, wasn't until after his bout with the admirals that Mr. Hellyer made it plain July 20 that the. governing factor in asking Parliament to sanction unification was whether the leg- islation could be fitted into the government's legislative time- table this fall. Prime Minister Pearson con- firmed July 26 that the govern- ment. is working on a timetable which would include a unifica- tion bill. The upshot of Mr. Hellyer's disagreement with his senior Forces Headquarters here was military advisers at Canadian Forces Headquarters here was that he initially offered them new postings, which they re- fused, and finally. arranged for them to retire well ahead of re- tirement age of 55. The three men involved were Vice-Admiral Kenneth L. Dyer, 50, chief of personnel; Lt.-Gen, Frank Fleury, 52, comptroller- general; and Lt.-Gen. Robert Moncel, 49, vice-chief of de- fence staff Gen, Moncel was generally expected to succeed Air Chief Marshal F. R. Millar as chief of. the defence staff, a post which subsequently went to the other top candidate, Lt.-Gen, Jean V. Allard, then in com- mand of Mobile Command at Montreal who was promoted to general. As comptroller-general, Gen. Fleury headed the headquarters branch which is in the most ad- vanced state of integration. It also is the branch most closely in touch with the integration picture throughout the services because it deals with finance, manpower and forces manage- ment, It was Gen. Fleury who ap- peared before the defence com- mittee to provide a picture of the progress of integration. On June 7, he dropped his first in- timation that the supply system was unready to proceed to the next stage--unification. fury, flying a record total of 826 combat sorties, a military spokesman reported. American flyers also bombed North Viet Nam despite bad weather limiting most of their 103 missions Wednesday to the southern. panhandle.
