This after Hurricane Dora roared through this area building is about 30 feet from the water's edge. Hurricane Rips North Leaving Great Damage By REID MILLER ST. AUGUSTINE, Dora began a thunderous trek across northern Florida today after smashing at St.

Augustine and Jacksonville with a giant sledgehammer of wind and tide. The storm, somewhat diminished but still massive after its abrasive collision with the northeast Florida coast, sent its gales whistling westward toward Florida's panhandle and northward up the Atlantic Coast to South Carolina. BRUNSWICK, a resort city about 100 miles north of St. Augustine, suffered its worst pounding in 20 years from a five-foot tide and gusts that shattered windows, ripped roofs and toppled trees at 85 miles an hour. Unofficial estimates put damage so far in the tens of mil lions.

In the hurricane's path were southern Georgia, numerous cities along the northeast gui coast of Florida and all that lay between, including capital of Tallahassee. Gov. Farris Bryant of Florida given emergency powers by his cabinet, said he would ask the federal government to declare the Jacksonville-St. Augustine region a disaster area. "I've lived in Jacksonville all my life and my dad lived here all his life, and this is the worst storm either of us ever saw," said contractor Francis P.

Lodge, former ambassador to Viet Nam, has been on a visit to European nations at President Johnson's request to explain U.S. policies and intentions in Viet Nam. Back from his tour, Lodge conferred with Johnson today, and said that "broadly speaking, the governments which I visited expressed appreciation for U.S.

efforts in Viet Nam, hoped for the success of thete efforts and gave assurances of help." Lodge particularly mentioned help assurance by Belgium, the Netherlands, West Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. 2.96-Inch Rain Drenches Tucson Rivers, Arrovos Overflow Streets were awash and rivers and arroyos overflowed as a tropical type storm poured rain up to 2.96 inches on the Tucson area last night and today.

In the city, the South Side was heaviest hit hy the downpour. Street barricades were put up on low-lying sections of South 12th, South Park and South 6th Avenues south of Irvington Road. THE LITTLETOWN subdivision, at Craycroft Road just north of the Benson Highway, was in a state of near-emergency.

More than half a dozen homes there were inundated with a 1 least 18 inches of water. The water started rising about 7:30 a.m. and by noon it wa impossible to get into any but some fringe areas. People inside the waterlogged homes couldn't get out and people outside couldn't get in. Littletown's Rex Street com jletely disappeared for about 300 yards and residents said the water was 10 feet deep.

There were an estimated 3,000 ballots uncounted in Maricopa County, and another 1,000 in Pima County.

Most absentees have been tabulated in the other 12 counties. The votes was more than enough to upset the current leadership for treasurer and three corporation commission terms. Robert Kennedy held a vote lead over J. W. Kelly for the Democratic nomination for treasurer.

The count was 65,89364,193. Kennedy is a political newcomer who had no paid advertising during the campaign. Kelly is the in-again, cut-again state treasurer. State law prevents a treasurer from succeeding himself, and Kelly usually has been deputy state treasurer during off terms. The closest of the four race: involved William Brooks and Dick Herbert for the Democratic nomination to succeed Cor- portation Commissioner a Buzard.

Buzard, acquitted in a recent impeachment trial, ran a distant fourth in a four-man race. The vote was Herbert 51,267 Brooks 51,112. That figured out to a 155-vote difference. Brooks is a former commissioner and political foe of Buzard. Herbert is a 26-year-old Phoenix attorney now concluding his first term as a legislator.

BUT WON'T HALT TALKATHON Senate Refuses To Table Delay Of Reapportionment WASHINGTON UP1 The Senate refused today to shelve legislation to postpone legislative reapportionment. But it also refused to halt a talkathon against the proposal. The vote against a motion to table and thus kill the proposal was 49 to 38. This came after the Senate had overwhelmingly refused to gag a "baby filibuster" against the legislation by liberal senators. The roll call vote on the cloture motion to impose the gag rule was 63 to 30 against.

This meant that Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen failed to get even one-third approval of his proposal. A two- thirds vote is needed to apply cloture. The two votes left the Senate deadlocked on the reapportionment issue which is delaying adjournmant. But they appeared to increase chances that some kind of compromise might be adopted.

Only seven Democrats joined 23 Republicans in voting in favor of Dirksen's effort to apply the gag to the talkathon being waged against the Dirksen delay legislation by a group of Senate liberals. Sen. Richard B. Russell, blocked a subsequent move )y Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield to lay aside the reapportionment issue temporarily. Mansfield sought unani- mous consent to take up his formal resolution to reopen the Bobby Baker investigation.

"I object," Russell had to shout three times before getting recognition. Then he asked: "Do we try and get a vote on this amendment or set it aside until we are driven by necessity to lay it aside? "We should have a show of strength," Russell said. I don't think the Senate should play games with this vital issue." In advance of the showdown vote, Dirksen flatly rejected as an "abject thing" a White House-backed proposal to put lawmakers on record in a "sense of Congress" resolution urging the courts to provide adequate time for redistricting of state legislatures. Sen. Carl Hayden, voted against cloture.

CHILDREN DRUGGED Driver Smuggles 14 Out Of East Berlin BERLIN--UPI--An East German truck driver smuggled his brother-in-law, their wives and their combined total of 11 drugged children to West Berlin last night hidden under a cargo of cold meat, West Berlin police reported today. The children were given sleeping pills so they would not get frightened and cry out. They ranged in age from one to eleven. The refrigerator truck driver regularly made the run from East to West Berlin carrying meat. Last night, shortly before midnight, he drove the route for the last time.

Communist guards did not bother to look under the cold carcasses in the back of the truck as it rolled through border checkpoints. The drowsy children were taken to a hospital on their arrival in West Berlin. They were held there overnight until the effects of the sleeping pills wore off. Officials said it was the easiest mass escape they could recall since the construction of the Communist wall three years lago. tne Republican race for the same post was almost as close.

Frank Mangin, a former state GOP official, was the leader over F. A. Higgins, a Phoenix radio man and state legislator. The count was The other Corporation Commission race was among Democrats for a short term. Outgoing Treasurer Milton Husky was leading Roscoe Stanford by 647 votes.

The count: Even if he wins, Husky has said he'll withdraw to seek a post on the Tax Commission. That election was forced last month by the death of Warren Peterson. Republican Hazelett was appointed to the job, and will seek election in November. If Husky is the ultimate winner and does, in fact, withdraw, the State Democratic Party will have to name a successor candidate at its Sept. 29 meeting.

In another nip-and-tuck battle, State Tax Commissioner Thad Moore apparently won renomi- nation by defeating fellow Democrat Harry Broderick 57,92754,431. That margin could be affected by the absentee ballots, but it was considered doubtful that the outcome could be changed. Moore, now serving his 15th term on the commission, lost heavily in Maricopa County, but won all other counties. He was indicted for bribery by a Maricopa County grand jury last year, but the charge ultimately was tossed out of court. Broderick, a former official under State School Supt.

W. W. Dick, has said he'll go after the tax commission job in the general election. There were only i changes in other races during the cleanup of election totals. Democratic a Auditor Jewel Jordan, unopposed in the primary, was the biggest vofe- etter at 148,411.

Secretary of State Wesley Bolin, also a Democrat, polled 146,915, and former Gov. Ernest McFarland, a Democrat now seeking a post on the State Supreme Court, received 45,540 votes. Gov. Paul Fannin, unopposed the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Repub- ican Presidential Nominee Barry Goldwater, led his party with votes.
