The Dow Jones industrial average lost 9.07 to 1,312.05. Analysts said the Dow's rout would have been more severe if General Foods stock, a major com­ ponent of the blue chip indicator, Almanac East Coast prepares for Hurricane Gloria MIAMI (UPI? -- Hurricane Glo­ ria, the strongest storm ever record­ ed in the open Atlantic, flung 150 mph winds mendcingly toward the Eastern Seaboard Wednesday and disaster preparations hastily began from the Carolinas to Delaware. The 300-mile wide storm failed to turn as expected Wednesday after­ noon and the National Hurricane Center extended a hurricane watch from Edisto Beach, S.C.. to Cape Henry, Va. » "Reports from an Air Force plane this afternoon show that the expect­ ed turn to the north has been de­ layed," an advisory said. "This in­ creases the threat to the Carolinas. "This is a dangerous hurricane." the advisory added. "Interests along the East coast, particularly from the Carolinas to New England should closely monitor the progress of Gloria." At 3 p.m. EDT, Gloria was cen­ tered near latitude 27.1 north, longi­ tude 73.1 west, or about 575 miles south southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. It was moving northwest near 15 mph, and was expected to gradu­ ally turn northward and pick up speed. The Bahamian government discontinued all warnings for the Bahamas as the threat to that area dissipated. The National Weather Service at Cape Hatteras advised residents of the Outer Banks, a string of barrier islands dotted fishing and resort vil­ lages, to prepare for strong winds and high tides that could cut off roads to the mainland. "State officals have asked for the evacuation of Ocracoke and Ports­ mouth islands. Other evacuations may be needed later." the advisory said. "All preparations to protect property and equipment should be rushed to completion by sunset today." Preparedness officials in mid-At­ lantic states began putting disaster plans into effect. "We are anticipating the worst. We are assuming this is going to be a bad storm and it is going to hit us. We just alerted all county personnel that we are in phase one of our emergency plan," said Sussex Coun­ t y , D e L , A d m i n i s t r a t o r J o e Conaway. Lee Eskey, coordinator of emer­ gency services at Virginia Beach, Va., said his office is urging the public "to be on their toes, to look out, and to prepare."

United Press International NEW YORK - The dollar fell sharply in New York Wednesday amid reports that the Bank of Japan would peg the yen at a strong level and with the intervention by the Bank of France. Gold was down slightly. "The French central bank inter­ vened to counteract pressure on the franc that came from rumors the cabinet was considering a mass res­ ignation," said Daniel Holland, vice president at Discount Corp. of New York. The rumors, tied to the Green­ peace scandal, were unfounded. "That gave the dollar a downward push and it remained under pres­ sure most of the day, even though other central banks did not inter­ vene," Holland said. Earl Johnson, vice president at Chicago's Harris Bank, said the spark for the roughly 1 percent dol­ lar decline was a report, supposedly in a Tokyo financial daily, quoting an undisclosed Japanese official that the Bank of Japan would peg the dollar-yen at a high level, vari­ ously reported as 220 to 210 yen to the dollar. "The 210 yen level is roughly equivalent to 2.50 German marks," Johnson said and added he looks for further pressure on the dollar soon. But Johnson said the Federal Re­ serve and other central banks will have to follow through with strong intervention to keep the dollar on the downward path prescribed at Sun­ day's meeting of finance ministers and central bankers. The dollar was mixed in Europe but lost ground all around in New York.

The Dow advanced 4.81 points Tuesday because of a 16 % point surge in General Foods stock even though the rest of the market re­ treated sharply. "The broader-based indexes haven't benefitted from the rise in General Foods stock, which is dis­ concerting to investors," said Ches­ ter Pado of A.C. Securities in Los Angeles. Satellite TV FACTS vs. MYTHS... By United Press International Today is Friday, Sept. 27, the 270th day of 1985 with 95 to follow. The moon is moving approaching fullness. The morning stars are Venus and Mars. The evening stars are Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Those born on this date are under the sign of Libra. They include American patriot Samuel Adams in 1722, actor William Conrad in 1920 (age 65), actress Jayne Meadows in 1926 (age 59), and actor Shaun Cassidy in 1958 (age 27). ' On this date in history: In 1825, in England, George Stephenson operated the first locomotive to pull a passenger train. In 1938, the British ocean liner Queen Elizabeth, predecessor to the QE2, was launched. In 1939, after 19 days of heavy air raids and artillery' bombardment, the Polish defenders of Warsaw surrendered to the Germans. In 1961, Syrian afmy officers ended their nation's 3 4-year-old union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic. In 1984, unfazed by ^President Reagan's conciliatory speech two days earlier, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko harshly attacked U.S. foreign policy before the United Nations General Assembly. A thought for the day: On hearing the gunfire that opened the Revolution­ ary War, firebrand patriot Samuel Adams remarked, "What a glorious morning for America."
