DULLES CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE not quickly or readily change, the It is we who must change to mee them." Dulles' remarks were evidentl directed toward Allied countrie like Britain, which recognizes Re China, and neutrals like Indi which argue for some modifieatlo: of United States policy.

It was also directed toward do jnestic critics who contended tha the policy of no contact is one which takes no ad vantage, if possible differences be tween Red China and- Russia. Ignores Newsmen Issue Dulles made no mention of on of the most active Red China is aues before question letting American newsmen go in to Red China from which they ar barred by his refusal to vali date passports for travel there. His speech today, observers in Washington said, could provide a basis for reaffirming his stam against letting newsmen go to th Chinese mainland. It could also however, represent a reaffirmation of major U. S.

policy so that a de eUion to permit American report era to enter Red China would per hape not be interpreted abroad a a sign of weakening in the basii American attitude. Dulles rejected virtually everj argument for establishment formal relations between Washing ton and the Peiping regime. He said seating Red China in the UN would not be "in the in terest either of the United State; pr of the United Nations." Dulles further affirmed the U. policy of refusing to trade with the Chinese Communists, saying their primary desire "is for ma chine tools, electronic equipment and, in general, what will help pro duce tanks, trucks, planes, am munition, and other military items." Shouldn't Help Enemy others may do," Dul Sen said, "surely the United States which has heavy security commitments in the China area, ough build up the military power Its potential enemy." This was Dulles' first major poly speech on Red China since March 1954. It was prepared for delivery before the convention ol Lions International.

The Russians accused Bonn ol pursuing a "policy of obstruction' toward the disarmament conference; Von Eckhardt and such an interpretation could not be accepted. He pointed out West Germany was not directly represented at the London talks, but had "co-operated positively" in the NATO Council foi' success of disarmament. Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss took a similar view, saying success or failure of world disarmament negotiations would decide whether West Germany arms with atomic weapons. MILLER CONTINUED PROM FIRST PAGE required to establish that it was pertinent. McLaughlln's reconsideration of the original ruling came as a result of the Supreme Court's decision in the case of John T.

a United Automobile Workers organizer who was also convicted for contempt for refusing to dentify persons he had met in Communist-sponsored meetings. The high court held that the Vatkins conviction -was illegal because the subcommittee had failed show that its questions relat- -ion, and also criticized the resolu- lon on which the committee's authority was based. Miller faces a maximum penalty one year in prison and $1,000 me. Practically, the penalty is the -ame tor conviction on one count as it would have been on two. Attorneys for Miller, who argued that the high court's Watklns uling required Miller's acquittal will now carry the case to the of Appeals.

McLaughlin, who announced his decision without Miller being prw- nt, is expected to hand down the entence early in July. Sun Want Ads Bring Results- Try a Want and Convert it into Dial TR 4-4764.

Carter told him "at least 200 persons are dead in Cameron." Death Toll KJscs The death toll rose when Stephen Broussard, 40, oil field worker, said three of his children drowned during the night.

They ranged In age from 3V4 years to 9 months. The Coast Guard said today it has all available rescue equipment en t-oute to the Cameron, area, isolated by hurricane Audrey. Unconfirmed reports from the Cameron area have described the death toll from high water swept inland by Hurricane Audrey as "heavy." The Coast Guard said it had no reports from Its two mobile radio units to either confirm or deny reports of heavy casualties: a spokesman admitted Coast Guard facilities were being concentrated on rescue operations and that "sketchy" reports would not necessarily include compilation of casualties. The New Orleans Coast Guard said it has, in addition to the two mobile radio units, three cutters, three patrol boats, four planes nnd three helicopters in the Cameron area. Some 1,000 people In the Cameron area were known not to have evacuated the region in advance of the but the Coast Guarc did have a report that some 1,001 people took refuse in a school which escaped damage.

He said h( believed "3,000 to 4,000 drowned' as the huge tidal waves swept in land. The report of 87 dead at Came ron by police radio came after earier tolls placed the storm's victims at 18. Five of the 18 were Irom Cameron.

Although there was no officia estimate of casualties, the Red Cross here said they knew of at least 1,000 persons in the Came ron area who did not evacuate as Audrey moved toward the coast. Ken Dixon, managing editor of the Lake Charles American Press said he believed the fatalities would easily run into several hun drod. Coast Guard Chief Boatswain's Mate E. L. Begler, who pilotet the boat that brought in Vincen and the other survivors, said when informed of Vincent's estimate: "It's hard to tell how many died So many people talk of losing families of six or nine."

Five of the men were reported by the CAA in good condition.

One, suffering from exposure, was moved to a hospital at Hackberry, La. The Coast Guard at Galveston said all fishing vessels earlier reported missing had returned to port. Thousands of persons along the Texas-Louisiana coastline jammed refugee centers when the hurricane slammed into the Coast Thursday. Audrey whipped tides into a frenzy as it lashed the coastal area while moving inland yesterday on a front that lapped extreme southeast Texas.

A Coast Guard plane flew over the town of about 1,000 and reported "a tremendous amount of destruction." The pilot said buildings were demolished and the town was under water and appeared in need of immediate aid. Stormy waters began subsiding late Thursday and the heavy rains eased off along the coast. The Weather Bureau said no significant rain was reported during the night.

Tides that rose to 9 feet heights began rolling back. Areas Still Flooded Although the winds and rains diminished, many areas remained flooded and thousands of refugees remained away from their homes. High Island, Gilchrist and Bolivar Peninsula across from Galveston were virtually isolated while officers kept patrols to halt looting. Trees blown over during the storm littered highways in the Beaumont-Port Arthur-Orange area and officials estimated it would take days to clean up the debris. Eleven of the storm deaths were In Texas and seven were In Louisiana, including at least five known dead in the Cameron area south of Lake Charles, which bore the brunt of the hurricane's fury.

Only one injury attributed to the storm was reported in Port Arthur. Tyrone Reynolds, 17, lacerated a leg when hurled against a building by high winds. The winds ripped shingles from homes along the coast and in mid- Jefferson County.

Fred Wortham of the Galveston News said at least 60 homes were flattened on Bolivar Peninsula, Ferry service between Port Bolivar and Galveston was resumed late yesterday. Emergency centers continued to operate during the night although southeastern part of Texas subsided.

Oddities were everywhere. Yacht On Prairie Near Galveston, a custom-made yacht Avas sitting on a. prairie. Wind and water pushed it and a $14,000 boathouse some 500 yards inland. North of Gilchrist two oil barges, about 105 feet long, were sitting about a half mile off Highway 87 and 2 1-2 miles from the intra- eoastal canal.

B. Hayden. "The storm did about as much damage as the old timers figured it would," he said. Fifteen were injured and one killed in Orange. Trees Hit Homes Most of the property damage In Orange, Hayden said, was caused "when trees fell on houses.

Water did a lot of damage to homes and in some cases the winds blew a corner oft small homes." At the little town of Gad, about 15 miles southeast of Orange, every one of the 30 homes in the small oil town were damaged. No electricity was available In Gad today and residents built wood fires in their yards to cook food, More than 8,000 of the 38,000 Orange residents fled their homes and sought shelter in the courthouse and schools Thursday.
