Carolina Storm Packs Winds Up to 150 M. P.H.; Precautions Taken MIAMI, Fla. (AP) Severe Hurricane Esther whirled toward the North Carolina coast today and the Weather Bureau said itj might issue hurricane warnings for that area by noon. The big and dangerous storm, with winds up to 150 miles per hour near the center and hurricane fores winds 74 miles per hour or more extending 280 miles around it, was moving on a northwest course at 15 miles perj hour. The giant storm was located at 2 a about 400 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and 600 miles due east of Jacksonville, Fla.

The Georgia and Florida coasts were clear of the storm, but all interests from Savannah, northward were told to listen for future advisories. Planes Moved Inland Forecaster Gilbert Clark said Indications were the storm would continue on its present path for the next few hours with no important changes in size or direction. Persons in the path of the storm already were taking precautions. The Navy sent 240 airplanes to Inland fields and a number of ships left Norfolk, as precautionary measures. The aircraft carriers Randolph, Wasp and Valley Forge put to sea and other naval vessels headed for anchorage in Chesapeake Bay to escape the fury of the winds.

Two Texas towers off the New England coast were evacuated. The towers are radar stations that form part of the U.S.-Canadian defense warning system. The towers are on shoals 80 to 100 miles offshore. A spokesman for the air defense sector said he did not know how many men were evacuated. A similar tower off the New Jersey coast collapsed during a storm last January with a loss of 28 lives.

If the storm should strike the North Carolina coast, as its present path indicated, it would follow such destructive giants as Hurricane Hazel which moved in over eastern North Carolina in 1954 and caused $750-million damage. Hurricanes Connie, Diane and lone passed through the area in 1955, followed by Helene in 1958 and Gracie in 1959, all of which caused property losses in the millions of dollars. "Seeding" Futile Small portions of Hurricane Esther were seeded with silver iodide during the weekend when she passed near Puerto Rico but Weather Bureau scientists reported no apparent effects on movement or intensity of the storm. Robert Simpson, deputy director of meteorological research for the Washington Weather Bureau, called it a "preliminary type of test." "A very small area of the hurricane was seeded because it's a big thing and we wanted to measure what we were doing," Simpson said in Miami Monday night. Simpson said he hoped to have preliminary estimates of the results "in several weeks" and hoped to seed other, hurricanes this fall.

City Manager Joseph Lustig told the council that there has been "quite a flurry" of people asking whether a permit is needed for building the shelters and requesting other data concerning them. "In the interest of keeping a record, plus safety, perhaps a permit should be required," Lustig said. Several council members commented that such structures should comply with minimum standards as set forth in Civil Defense literature, A small permit fee was also suggested. "We have the responsibility to the people who are going to build them to provide for their safety," Councilman John Fredendall stated. The council instructed City Atty.

Robert J. Cunningham to study the matter and to bring in an ordinance on the shelter matter at a future date. Endorse School Stand The council went on record to publicly endorse Lustig's statement concerning the school ricting law that appeared in Monday's edition of the Gazette. The vote was 7-0 and the action served merely to support the accuracy of the statements. Lustig's lengthy statement traced the history of the new school law and outlined the position taken by the council, which opposes bringing in any territory for school purposes only.

Mrs. William Henke commended Lustig for the thorough job he 32nd Infantry Division Is Called to Active Duty Doubt Hammarskjold's Plane Was Shot Down; U. N. Faces Emergency Ranking Delegation Seeks to Carry Out Dag's Peace Talk NDOLA, Northern Rhodesia high-ranking U.N. delegation arrived in Ndola today seeking to carry through the Katanga peace talks shattered by U.N.

Secretary-General Dag marskjold's death in a plane crash. The chief U.N. negotiator is Mahmoud Khiari, chief of civil operations in the Congo. He flew to Ndola from Leopoldville while U.N. intelligence experts probed riddles of the wreck that killed the secretary-general.

A British government statement said a further task for the delegation will be to help identify the mutilated bodies of some of marskjold's entourage. The statement said Britain is doing all possible to facilitate contact between the delegation and President Moise Tshombe of Katanga, who pulled out Monday after an overnight stay at this neutral border town. Doubts Plane Shot Tshombe returned to Katanga after vainly waiting for 24 hours for Hammarskjold to arrive for peace talks. Only late Monday did Tshombe and the world know Hammarskjold was dead in the shattered wreck of his aircraft. Salvage workers pulled another body from the wreck this morning making a total of 15 dead.

There is one survivor. Lt. Col. Ben Matlick, air spected the wreck today, said he was convinced that speculation that the plane may have been shot down was groundless. The possibility of sabotage or armed attack had drawn banner headlines in Rhodesian newspapers.

The lone survivor, Harry Julien, an American U.N. security guard, was quoted as saying a series of explosions shook the four engine DC6B before it plunged into a forest reserve north of town and burned. Typical Landing Crash Seasoned pilots who viewed the fire-blackened wreckage agreed with Matlick. They said it looked like typical results of a crash caused in a landing approach by loss of power or faulty instruments. A Ndola hospital spokesman said the survivor is as comfortable as could be expected, adding: "He still is very ill and is under heavy sedation.

He has not spoken since he was brought here." Col. Maurice Barber, civil aviation director of the British-run Central African Federation, heads the inquiry into the crash. The U.N. intelligence work is directed by CoL Bjorn Egge, a Norwegian. World Is Worried As the bodies of Hammarskjold and the other victims were brought to the Ndola hospital mortuary, the world 's uneasy capitals worried about the effect of his death on the United Nations.

Tributes were paid to skjold and his ceaseless labors for peace around the world. In many attache from Leopoldville, who in- 1 parts of Europe and elsewhere, fears were expressed that his death and Soviet stalling tactics might jeopardize the future of he United Nations. In New York, the U.N. General Assembly was opening one of its most crucial sessions. Western diplomats strove to prevent the Soviet Union, arch foe of marskjold, from paralyzing the United Nation's work by delaying the appointment of a successor.

Kennedy to Speak Hammarskjold's death prompted President Kennedy to decide to go before the United Nations Friday or Monday to affirm "at a time of crisis for the United Nations," support for the United Nations and its principles, a White House spokesman said. Hammarskjold's death posed grave problems for the United Nations and its Congo operation. He had been a major cementing factor in the world organization and the U.N. Congo force was his own idea to keep the new nation from lapsing into anarchy. The search for his successor must be conducted under Communist pressure to replace the office of secretary-general with a three- man board of Communist, neutral and Western representatives, each with a veto.

This probably would paralyze the world organization. Maneuvering in the wake of marskjold's death is likely to impede U.N. debate on the Berlin crisis and other pressing problems. The death of Hammarskjold also leaves the Congo on the brink of (Continued on page 2, column 8) LATEST! MADISON (AP)-Maj. Gen.

The daring raid, the first on any provincial capital, was staged early Monday on the capital, Phuoc Vinh, the government said. The city is only 60 miles north of this capital.

The Communist Viet Congo raiders held the town for several hours in predawn darkness, burning and ransackinng several provincial buildings. One source estimated 1 ,500 guerrillas took part in the attack. The government said the raiders attacked to liber-' ate rebel prisoners. It marked a new height in violence in the areas north of Saigon where the rebels are believed to be building strength. Military sources said there were only 70 Civil Guardsmen in the provincial capital when the attack came.

U.S. Will Not Oppose Debate But Seeks to Inaugurate Study UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Soviet Union formally moved today for the seating of Communist China in the United Nations. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko requested that the 99- nation General Assembly placed on its agenda a question titled: "Restoration of the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations." The assembly is expected to give the China question a full airing, after 10 years of postponements. But it is unlikely that the problem will be taken up under the controversial title proposed by the Soviet Union.

Informed quarters said the United States would not oppose a China debate this year, but would seek to refer the question to a study committee which would report back at the 1962 session of the assembly. The Soviet move trailed a proposal by New Zealand on Sunday that the assembly take up the question of Chinese representation. The United States said it would vote lo hold such debate. Prime Minister Keith J. Holyoake of New Zealand said his country sought free and full discussion of the question to make sure that any action taken by the assembly will be based on principles of the U.N.

Katanga Claims Big Base Taken LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo military forces claimed today they had wrested the big U.N. base at Kamina from its Irish and Swedish defenders after a six-day battle. The U.N.

chief in Katanga, Conor Cruise O'Brien, insisted however, that the hard-pressed defenders still held the air strip in that vital base 280 miles northwest of Elisabethville. As O'Brien met with reporters at his headquarters in ville, capital of secessionist Katanga, a Katanga plane attacked the building. Its bombs fell wide but the headquarters grounds were raked by machinegun fire. There were no casualties. The claim that Kamina had fallen to the attacking Katangans, reportedly led by white officers, was made by Katanga's military radio.

A U.N. spokesman in this Congo capital pid there was nothing in messages from Kamina to indicate that the garrison had surrendered. Heavy fighting also was reported in Kabalo. 150 miles west of Albertville, where Katanga forces occupied the airfield.

Ask Extra Room in Courthouse Use of Fourth Floor Proposed; Juvenile Home Under Study Two possible new county building projects and a proposal for countywide planning and development came before the board of supervisors at its September meeting Tuesday.

Prospective construction jobs are: (1) furnishing and putting into use the vacant fourth floor of the courthouse; (2) investigation of the need for a county juvenile home. The courthouse proposal was outlined by Clarence Alton, Beloit, vice chairman of the public property committee, who told the i supervisors that space demands! are being made which indicate that the unfinished top should be put to use. He said that space in the courthouse was found recently for the park and conservation commission office, and for civilian defense office, but "we are running short of rooms." Part of the development, if it Is voted, will provide a new meeting room for the county board. Alton said that when the court reorganization act becomes effective Jan. 1, two more rooms on the third floor will have to be made available to Court Clerk Harold V.

Schmidley. This will make it necessary to abandon the lounge room now in use on that floor, he said. It is also necessary to provide space for auditors, bookbinders, from time to time. Will Learn Cost The board authorized the public property committee to meet with an architect and to report on a possible plan and tentative costs. Alton hinted that the completion of the top floor would "require quite a lot of money," and that it would approach a major project.

A joint meeting of the public property, courthouse and sheriff committees to explore the needs for a juvenile detention home was authorized in a resolution offered by Supervisor Clifford Zanton, Johnstown. He asked a report before the October budget session. He said that juveniles are sometimes held for several hours in the county jail, that space there is limited, and that it is difficult to comply with the regulation that each juvenile detained have a separate room. A "go slow" plea was voiced by Supervisor Frank X. Kinast, Beloit.

He suggested that in a few months or a year, arrangements may be made so that the sheriff will not have to live in the jail building. This, he said, might release space now utilized as an apartment which would be suitable for juvenile use. In looking toward a juvenile building, he said that the county would be talked about a $50,000 to $100,000 expenditure, and could be "embarking on a project which may not be required."

The probability is that the two guard divisions will be subjected to intensified training to bring them to combat readiness, available for use overseas if the Berlin crisis deepens or trouble breaks out some other place. This is the latest in a series of military buildup actions taken by the Kennedy administration as the Berlin crisis became graver and the possibility of a military showdown with Russia became more serious.

Bolster 7th Army On Sept. 9 the Pentagon announced that 40,000 troops were being ordered to Europe to strengthen the 7th Army in Germany and to bring other U.S. forces in Europe to full fighting strength. The Army also has been sending across numbers of armored troop carriers intended to give the three infantry divisions in Germany much greater mobility. In addition to these three infantry divisions, the Army has two armored divisions in place facing the Iron Curtain.

Striving to reach agreement on still unsettled local issues in the General Motors strike in Janesville, lenghty bargaining sessions were held Monday afternoon and night. They continued again this morning. Darwin Wagie, chairman of the UAW Local 121's shop committee, reported this morning that the remaining issue is a seciion of ihe, -local wage rule.

He said that another point which the parties disagreed upon, that of local seniority, was conceded by the union and accepted as being resolved. Another issue, wage inequities, was laid aside with the stipulation that that would be negotiated at the top level and that any rates settled upon would apply locally. ion and company bargainers were in session until 11:30 p.m. Monday and resumed again at 8:30 a.m. today.

Robert Vicars, chairman of the shop commitiee for Local 95 ai Fisher Body, said the union and company were in session, with a few recesses, until 2 a.m. today, and were back again at 9 a.m. "Progress has been meaningful in some areas but very slow.
