British and Greek troops worked side by side to rescue the twice-hit victims. American, British, Israeli and Greek ships standing offshore were rocked by strange currents that boiled up from the depths, but supplies poured ashore in a steady stream. Inland towns still were cut off by landslides.

Panic appeared to be subsiding Season's First Tropical Storm Leaves 4 Dead Thousands Driven Inland; $1,300,000 Damage Seen NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (UP) The season's first tropical hurricane battered the Middle Atlantic seaboard with gales and heavy surf today and then veered out to sea. Four deaths and damage estimated at more than $1,300,000 were attributed to the storm, a comparatively mild one by hurricane standards. However, the storm drove thousands of persons off the 500-mile long coastal strip from Morehead City, N. to Long Island.

Gales of 50-miles-an-hour lashed the lush northeastern shore of Long Island, and Southampton police ordered occupants of 35 estates in that fashionable community to evacuate' their homes. Authorities said most of the residents, including the family of Henry Ford had moved inland. New York weathermen said the storm center, located some 55 miles east southeast of Atlantic City, N. at 7:30 p.m. (EST), was moving northeastward at 15 miles an hour.

Gales of up to 40 miles an hour and heavy rains marked the passing of the hurricane's fringe over New York City. However, neither transportation nor communications were interrupted. Two deaths were attributed to the storm in the New York area. A 2-year-old boy was killed when an automobile in which he was Indians Win Eighth Straight, Take Fourth Place In League By BOB BALFE Post-Times Sports Editor A spine-tingling finish to the most exciting game of the season here brought the Indians their eighth straight victory and boosted them to fourth place in the Florida International League Friday night, a crowd of 943 going wild as the Tribe squeezed home the winning run in the ninth for a 7-6 decision over St. Petersburg.

Great Britain May Pull Out If Rhee Breaks Korean Truce LONDON, Aug. 15 (UP) Prime Minister Winston Churchill said today Britain would not act under a 16-nation post-armistice agreement on Korea if President Syngman Rhee alone breaks the truce.

In a statement Churchill recalled Rhee's "improper" release of French Reds Push Plans For Violence Scheme To Overthrow Laniel Cains; Weapons Issued To Communists PARIS, Aug. 14 (UP) Commun ist' masterminds moved in on the French strike against the govern ment today with plans to foment violence and push a scheme to overthrow Premier Joseph Laniel. The Reds acted to offset the long weekend holiday which took much of the pressure off citizens plagued by nearly two weeks of paralyzing strikes. Reviving train service, booming sales of bikes and motorcycles, and hitch-hiking promised holidayers a chance to escape from gas and electricity cuts, undelivered mail and mounds of garbage. A move to recall the National Assembly from holiday to take up Laniel's economy decrees which brought on the strikes was gaining support.

About 200 deputies, mostly Com munists and Socialists, had tele graphed or written personal letters approving the recall proposal. To make the recall mandatory, 209 confirmed signatures of deputies were needed. The leftists made 'no secret of the fact they were gunning for Laniel, and the indicated vote of confidence in the assembly would be a grave threat to his administration. A Communist brain trust con vened at party headquarters to map plans for keeping the strikes from petering out. Sources close to the party said Etienne Fajon, Politburo labor specialist, won approval for a pro gram which would climax the cur rent unrest with widespread demonstrations next week.

Informants said the demonstrations would be similar to those called to protest the arrival of Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway in May, 1952. They produced bloodshed and street brawling. The newspaper Paris Presse re ported the Reds were issuing knives and bludgeons to their shock troops.

The crisis was due Monday, when the long weekend is over and a number of factories reopen after annual vacations. Gas, electricity, water and food supplies were' near normal in Pa. ris. Volunteers helped deliver backlogged mail and cleaned up the streets. Wheat Farmers Favor Quotas CHICAGO, Aug.

14 (UP)-Ameri- can wheat farmers appeared to night to be giving overwhelming approval of marketing quotas and high support prices on the 1954 crop as returns flooded in from a nationwide referendum. Unofficial returns showed 115,045 for quotas and 20,521 against. The big wheat states of the Mid- west and the Great Plains scored heavilv for federal marketing quotas and were joined by some Eastern states. It appeared that the vote may far outstrip the two-thirds majority of farmers voting necessary to as sure quotas. Kansas, the nation's No.

1 wheat state, endorsed quotas by an 8 to 1 margin with the vote tally nearly complete. The vote was 51,971 to 6,291.

S. island base in the Western Pacific.

Americans and Islanders huddled In cement structures and typhoon shelters awaiting the big blow. Angry gusts from outside the fringes of the typhoon lashed the airfields and rolling hills of the island. Air Force weather planes prowled the egg-shaped mass of howling winds, 500 miles wide across its northeast-southwest dia-meter, keeping vigil of the mon-ster phenomenon. Their latest checks showed that winds in the center were whirling at a sustained speed of 194 miles an hour, 10 miles faster than shown in an earlier check. The barometric reading was 26 inches of mercury, possibly a record low.

Wind velocity on the fringe of the typhoon, ranging from leu to 250 miles out from the center, was nearly 60 miles an hour. At 9 a. m. (7 p. EST, Friday) the eye of the typhoon was 330 miles southeast of Okinawa.

Fashioned from warm and cool air fronts and powered by heat from ocean water, the typhoon moved toward Okinawa at 10 miles an hour. If its course holds, meteorologists said the' typhoon fringe would hit the island base about 5 p. m. (3 A. EST).

From then on, the storm would mount in intensity, winds flailing everything in their path unceasingly with hammerlike blows, until the center had passed the island. Then the force of the storm on Okinawa would subside gradually. Throughout last night, U. S. Air Force and Army men and their families streamed into cement block structures equipped with shutters to break the fury of the wind.

Enlisted men were housed in barrack-like structures with steel shutters, each holding about 200 men. Ma. Maurice R. Fowler, spokesman for the Ryukyu command, said the whole island had been "battened down. Authorities were confident the Americans would ride out the ty phoon.

The shelters are sturdy. Food is ample.

Reds Claim 397,543 American Casualties TOKYO, Aug. 15 (UP) Pel-ping Radio said today the Red armies in Korea killed, wounded or captured 1,093,839 Allied troops, including 397,543 Americans, during the three-year Korean war. The American toll claimed by the Reds is more than twice actual U. S.

Council members met with Steen for several hours Friday afternoon in an attempt to reach an agreement prior to a looming circuit court hearing on the matter. Steen's lease, drawn more than 10 years ago, grants him exclusive rights to bath house and locker facilities on the municipal beach. The clause conflicts with a pro posal for a municipal recreation center on the beach. The proposal, still in the "talking stage" calls for a swimming pool and cabanas among other improvements.

Moore stated that the matter had been turned over to Town Atty. L. Middleton and Edgar Hamil ton, Steen's lawyer, in the hope that they would present an amicable agreement to the Council next Wednesday. Steen would not comment last night but said he would have statement later today. Ike To Dispose Of Last 18 Bills DENVER, Aug.

14 (UP) President Eisenhower planned tonight to complete his legislative chores tomorrow morning, disposing of the last 18 bills left for his action by the adjourned Congress. The President signed 21 minor bills today, and early tomorrow will complete action on the bundle of 110 measures left him by Congress as he started his Colorado vacation. Members of his staff said there would be several pocket vetos in tomorrow's batch, but they would not identify the bills. Bernard M. Shanley, special counsel to the President, explained that the vetoes largely involved precedents in private relief cases which the White House and the Justice Department regarded unwise or unwarranted.

With his legislative backlog out of the way, the President will be freed from most -of his ties to nis temporary offices at Lowry Air Force Base and he probably will vacation a little more energetically than he has this week.

But the attempts to discourage East Germans failed and another 110,000 crossed the border into West Berlin, bringing to 2,500,000 the number who have received free American food since the pro gram began July 27. The two communist leaders de moted were Anton Ackermann and Hans Jendrety. Ackermann, dropped from the Politburo last month, was fired as director of the "Marx-Lenin-Stalin Institute." He still retains his title as foreign minister but it is be lieved he will be purged from that post, too. Jendrety resigned from the East Berlin city government executive council. He was fired as leader of the Berlin branch of the Commu nist party Sunday.

Food seekers who came to Ber lin today said East German factor. les were firing workers caught with food packages. The Communist press confirmed the reports. At the same time it said strikes and slowdowns by coal miners in Saxony have cut production "con siderably." The latest attempt by Commu nist agitators to disrupt the food program was a flop. Some 100 Communist "goons" crossed into the West, bound for a French sector food distribution point.

But they retreated before West sector riot squads without offering a fight. Communist newspapers, the west ern press and refugees told of the mounting labor unrest In the boviet zone.
