A radio report from the Pacific Islands Trust Territory headquarters at Saipan said half the island's 2,000 buildings were smashed and only 5 per cent escaped major damage. No life was lost.

Only one injury was reported. The central eye of Typhoon Olive, carrying peak winds of more than 110 miles an hour, swept directly over Saipan's 46square-mile area after it had passed to the west of Guam on the southern end nf the Marianas chain. Guam, which suffered devastating damage from Typhoon Karen Nov. 11, was buffeted by 90 mile-per-hour winds and drenching rain for 48 hours before Olive boiled on northward. Olive's winds destroyed most of the 500 temporary homes which had been built on Guam for the victims of Karen.

The islands of Rota and Tinian also lay in Olive's destructive path. Direct word on damage there was not available. About 1.000 Chamorro natives live on Rota.

But he bases In World War II for B29 bombing strikes on Japan. Jose Benitez, the trust territory's deputy high commissioner, estimated Saipan's property damage at more than $2 million.
