THE LEAVENWORTH TIMES UAVINWOtTH, KANSAS, SUNDAY, OCTOIIR 6, PAOIS. rHICI Ifc Unrest in Honduras Continues TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) broke out in downtown Tegucigalpa on Saturday less than an hour after a new civilian-military provisional government was sworn in to lead the country for at least a year. Just what the outbreak of machine gun and small arm fire meant could not be immediately determined. The shooting appeared to be concentrated near the law faculty building of Honduran University, where a strong pro-Castro wing has been reported among the students. (The Time-Life news service in New York said Saturday night it received word from its correspondent mat a hotel was burning and that fighting was continuing.

Efforts to reach The Associated Press correspondent were unavailing. Telephone communications with the Honduran capital were reported cut off.) The new government is headed by Col. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano, 40. who led Thursday's coup which deposed President Ramon Villeda Morales. It contains eight civilians two military men.

Col. Lopez Arellano said it would stay in power about a year or until "the conditions, which caused the move against the Villeda government are eliminated." The military claimed the deposed president was soft on Communists. The two-day-old regime seemed to be winning support from business and industry. It declared itself ready to crush any student uprising. The warning came amid reports pro-Communist student organi- jtation was planning demonstrations in protest of the ouster of President Ramon Villeda Morales in a predawn strike Thursday.

The government is also reported to have gained the support of two political parties, the National party and the Orthodox Republican party. Party officials said they had sent their declarations of support to Lopez Arellano" but that a ban on political activities prevented official publication. Coupled with the military overthrow of President Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic Sept. 25, -the armed forces' seizure here set off fears of government upsets in other key LatuvAmerican countries. It attracted attention to troubles in Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia.

Backed by a seven-year record of growth, ULF includes 16 separate health, welfare and character-building agencies in a single drive for year-round financial support. Theme of this year's drive is "One gift works many wonders." One gift, spread out if necessary over the entire year, from every employed person In Leavenworth County, would put the campaign over the top with ease," Dobnick said Saturday. "The problem each year is to reach every employed person and to challenge them to give generously a pledge made not just, as a contribution, but as an investment, in our community and in its service to others who need our help. It is the hope of the campaign committee that when area residents are contacted they will respond with an open heart and make their one gift help work many wonders. It is no satisfaction to miss being called on and therefore to make no pledge, so if you are missed, mail a gift to ULF Headquarters at 519 Shawnee," Dobnick asked.

E. (Please Turn to Page Ten) MIAMI, Fla. Flora flailed eastern Cuba for 28 hours with wind and rain, then started a slow swing back toward the Caribbean Sea on Saturday where she already has taken at least 43 lives. The dramatic and unexpected shift in dh'ection eased her threat to Florida and the Bahama Islands. Stalled by an intense sure area to the north, Flora thrashed aimlessly among the mountains of Cuba all day, then began slowly drifting to the southwest.

Her long stay over land had weakened and knocked the shape out of the once wild and vicious storm. The turn brought hurricane warning flags down in the boarded-up Bahamas, and worried Floridians relaxed. In Flora's violent wake in the Caribbean lay untold numbers of dead and vast areas of destruction. Dr." Gerard Phileppeau, Haitian minister of health, described that necessary.

Cox did not identify the witness or make any further comment about it. pPASHINGTON (AP) The two senior members of the'Sett- ate subcommittee investigating organized crime have fired back at criticism about the testimony of mobster Joseph Valachi, the hearing's star witness. "There seems to be an organized effort to discredit Valachi's Negro nation as a heap, with towns sodden trash ravaged and bodies floating in the streets. Reports of dangerous flooding began to come also from Cuba. Fertilizer Needed by Russians To Boost Production of Food MOSCOW Communist party Central Committee, as important a body as there is in the Soviet Union, called on the chemical industry Saturday to start pouring out more fertilizer to provide this wheat-short country with food.

The call was sent out over the official news agency Tass and broadcast during the afternoon to the whole of the Soviet Union on Moscow radio. It also was carried in the government newspaper, Iz- vestia. The appeal echoed Premier Khrushchev's last week in a long speech in Krash- nodar, in the center of the Soviet Union's farming farms would no longer suffer a fertilizer famine. At that time the premier announced he had been obliged to buy 8.6 million tons of wheat in Canada and Australia to make up the shortage in this year's Soviet crop. The Central Committee appeal was joined with an appeal from the Council of government.

Khrushchev Is head of both organizations. The appeal called toe chemistry industry to increase sharply the output of mineral fertilizers. The message said, this year's production of 20 million tons of fertilizer would be stepped up to 24 million tons next year and to 35 million tons in 1965. This is just the amount of fertilizer Khrushchev said was produced last year in the United States for use on less than half as much land. The appeal was accompanied by assurances of great resources of fertilizer available in the Soviet Union, with the only thing lack- Ing being the costly plants needed to refine raw phosophate ore.

It is known the Soviet Union has discussed with British officials the possibility of providing at least one entire fertilizer plant to be built in the Soviet Union, The whole thing raises the question of money, for the country has been obliged to dump tons of gold on the European market to pay for the wheat bought. Whether Britain would be prepared to offer long-term credits to build one or more fertilizer plants to be delivered immediately and paid for a question. In any event, Soviet gold and foreign exchange resources art known to res Uicled.
