HURRICANE
DEALS OUT
BIG PUNCH
Florida City Is Hit Hardest
But No Lives Lost
Tornado Reported
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31-"(A>V—
The freakish Gulf hurricane that
swept inland last night near Mo
bile, Ala., appeared today to have
delivered its heaviest punch at Pan
ama City, Fla.
No loss of life was reported, and
the storm apparently caused little
damage elsewhere.
Mayor Carl Gray of the coastal
resort in extreme northwest Flor
ida said in a radio broadcast a dock
and beach property were damaged.
He said 3.500 persons were evacu
ated from low' ground to Red Cross
shelters.
Tornado Wreckage
A tornado—believed an offshoot
of the storm—seriously injured two
persons and wrecked a dozen houses
at Apalachicola, Fla.
Another hurricane grew in size
and intensity in the far eastern
Carribean today. The Weather Bur
eau at San Juan, Puerto Rico, re
ported winds of hurricane force
extending as much as 75 to 100 miles
north and northeast of the new
storm center.
The big wind was placed at a
point about 210 miles east of Martln
que in the West Indies.
A third hurricane shoved north
ward in the Atlantic about 500 miles
cast of Bermuda.
Winds at 115 MfH
Winds as high as 115 miles an
hour had been reported by the New
Orleajis Weather Bureau as the
Gulf tropical storm at first advanc
ed toward the Mississippi-Alabama
northwest Florida coastline.
However the highest wind veloc
ity reported on land was a Coast
Guard estimate of 98 miles an hour
at Santa Rosa Island, an isolated
sand spit with a Coast Guard sta
tion about five miles offshore from
Pensacola, Fla.
But damage at the island was neg
ligible, the Coast Guardsmen re
ported.

Violation Charge
The Chinese Communists accused
the U. S. Air Force again today
of violating China’s borders. The
U. S. says it has instructed its
fliers to avoid the Manchurian fron
tier carefully. The new China News
Agency, official Red China outlet,
broadcast a charge that U. S. fight
er planes Tuesday killed five per
sons and wounded five others on
Chinese territory. A similar com
plaint was registered with the UN

LEOTA'S INITIAL
FALL SHOWING IS
SLATED TOMORROW
Fashions, Colors (or Smart
est Circles Will Be Dis
played at Preview
Mrs. Leota Smith, owner of Le
ota's Shop, has returned to Juneau
after a three week buying trip in
the east where she purchased mer
chandise for the coming autumn
season.
"I have established business re
lations with many of the leading
nationally advertised manufactur
ers,” Mrs. Smith said, “and this
fall many of the items to be shown
at Leota’s will be featured in Vogue.
Harper's, Mademoiselle and other
national fashion magazines.”
Mrs. Smith commented on the
new fall fashions, pointing out that
the plum shades will predominate.
She added, however, that a very
popular color appears to be a dusty,
rich golden beige called “encore.”
Another flattering touch coming
back into fashion preference is
elaborate beading of suits, dresses
and hats. Parisian touches have
been applied to many of the Fall
fashions and add color and interest
to what would otherwise be all
American designs.
The new merchandise, purchased
mainly in Chicago and New York,
! ranges from budget shop and
I sportswear to high fashion gowns
i and will be shown September 1st
at Leota's initial Fall showing
More items were expected, but the
rail strike has delayed shipments
. Enough has arrived, however, to
make a representative showing oi
I all the new lines and to demon
! strate what may be expected in
I the way of styling, workmanship
and price.
Lcota is particularly anxious to
acquaint Juneau women with the
labels that will appear in the
smartest circles. Among these arc
Rothmoor—coats and suits, Adolph
I Marc—dressy suits, Moordale Junior
casual suits and hats by Gage, Su
zanne, Lurrell and Knox.
The September 1 showing will be
a preview—the complete lines will
arrive in the next few weeks and
a second showing will follow.
