Hurricane Flora
Won’t Die: Double
Punches Cuba
MIAMI, Fla. ufl — Hurricane
Flora slashed northward back into
Cuba today and, for the fourth
straiht day, the Communist island
reeled under the vicious one-two
punch of howling wind and driving
rain.
With more to come, the already
staggering economy of Fidel Cas
tro’s regime had suffered a crush
ing blow. The Agrarian Reform
Institute said half of the sugar,
rice, coffee, cotton and cocoa crops
may have been destroyed.
Sugar, the backbone of the Cu
ban economy, has been used by
Castro to trgde with Russia for
military and other assistance.
Forecasters searched their rec
ords, wondering when, if ever, a
hurricane had hammered so long
at a single area.
Flora moved in over eastern Cu
ba's Oriente Province Friday and
sat there for nearly two days.
Then it drifted just off the south
.•oast and for another 48 hours
stalled in the Caribbean, while
ts winds blasted Cuba from Cama
guey to Santiago.
Today the 85-mile-an-hour storm
.vent back on the prowl, striking
nto Cuba again near Santa Criz
3el Sur. It was whirling very
;lowly toward the city of Cama
juey and there was no telling how
ong it would stay over Cuba this
ime.
The Cuban radio broadcast re
ports of the crop destruction, of
collapsing homes and buildings,
md of serious floods that forced
the evacuation of nearly 35,000
persons from Santiago De Cuba
and Victoria De Las Tunas.
With more than 400 dead in her
wake in the Caribbean, Flora now
threatens the Bahama Islands and
Florida.

World Airlines
Fold to Drop Fares
By GERALD L. MILLER
ROME l.P — The world’s major
airlines were told today they must
cut fares to get more business and
must face up to the prospect of
supersonic airplanes.
The question of fares and super
sonic planes came to the fore at
the opening session of the 19th
general meeting of the Internation
al Air Transport Assn. (IATAt, the
worldwide organization of sched
uled international airlines. I AT A
members handle 95 per cent of in
ternational passenger traffic.
Sir William P. Hildred of Bri
tain, Director General of IATA.
called for drastic fare cuts.
But in a note of caution, Nicolo
Carandini, president of the Italian
airline Alitalia and new president
of IATA. warned against what he
called "imprudent reductions of
fares.” Carandini said faulty fare
cuts might cause deficits, forcing
airlines to seek loans that might
cost their independence.
The Italian air executive also
tied the question of fare cuts to
the question of supersonic jets,
which have been viewed with
some misgivings by many industry
circles. Airlines should not be
frightened by the coming of the
faster-than-sound planes, Caran
dini said, but should assure a long
life for supersonic planes "during
a moderate and planned period of
transition.”
He called for preparation of a
system of gradual reforms in fare
structure to "permit a useful co
existence between supersonic and
subsonic air fleets.”
HERE IS A Fire Safety Hint:
Never, never, never, never, nev
er, never, never, never, never,
never, never, never, never, never,
never smoke in bed.
NOTICE
A special meeting of the Nome
Common Council will be held at
