(Ban Photo) down Flora flails east Cuba SHIFT IN DIRECTION TAKES FLORIDA OUT OF PATH MIAMI. Fla. (AP).

Hurricane Flora flailed eastern Cuba for 28 hours with wind and rain, then swung slowly back Saturday toward the Caribbean Sea from where she came. The dramatic, unexpected shift in direction ended her threat to Florida and the Bahama Islands. Stalled by an intense high-pressure 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. Ftoridans Relax The turn brought hurricane warning flags down in the boarded-up Bahamas, and worried Ftoridians relaxed.

In Flora's violent wake in the Caribbean lay unto'd numbers of dead and vast areas of destruction. Or. Gerard Phileppeau, Haitian minister of health, described mat Negro nation as a sodden trash heap, with towns ravaged and bodies floating In the streets. Reports of dangerous flooding began to come also from Cuba. A hurricane, a dangerously low- pressure system In itself, tends to move toward other low pressure and away from a "high," which is a system of stable air that resists being drawn into the hurricane circulation.

A "high" stretching from Nova Scotia down to the Florida Straits forced Flora's turn away from her northwest course. For eight hours, the eye of me hurricane had been stalled 75 miles southeast of Camafroey, Cuba. Then began a slow drift to the southwest. At Nassau, forecaster Arthur Pike said Flora would move off the south coast of Cuba and pass near Grand Cayman Island on a course toward the Uncertain Path At Miami, chief forecaster Gordon Dunn said the future movement of the storm remains "very, very uncertain, with the lack of a definite steering pattern. It has followed one of the oddest tracks we have seen in many a year." Flora's circulation was disputed by the Cuban mountains and her iLOOD SAVIS LIVIf top winds had dropped to 80 miles an hour around the eye.

Once back in the Caribbean, where she can draw 'new moisture from the sea, she could quickly regenerate. Gale winds swirled 175 miles north and east to the ragged is- Kremlin calls for fertilizer Try to provide wheat-short nation with food By PRESTON GROVER MOSCOW (AP)-The Communist party Central Committee, as important a body as theite 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 oil was snot out over the official news agency Teas and during the afternoon to the the Soviet Union on Moscow radio. It also was carried in the government newspaper, 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 Soviet would no longer suffer a fertilizer famine.

At that time the premier announced he had been obliged to buy 84 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 fitun the Council of government. Khrushchev is head of both organizations. The appeal called for the chemistry industry to increase sharply the output of mineral fertilizers. The message said this yeai's production of 20 million tons of fertilizer would be stepped up to 24 million tons next year and to 35 million tons in U65.

This is just the smount of fertilizer Khrushchev said was produced last year in the United States for use on less than half as much land. Great Resoarces The appeal was accompanied by assurances of great resources of fertilizer available in the Soviet Union, with the only thing lacking being the costly plants need- ao to refine raw phosphate ore. ft to known the Soviet Union has dHoiMsd with British officials naaatMMy of providing at least one entire fertUJasr plant to be built In the Soviet Union.

Already the elevation has been raised some four or five feet and it will take another three or four feet to reach the height displayed by the nail in one of the trees. One oaterpllar was working in the area on Friday where the diving well will be located.

Others were bring'ng in dirt and continuing to build the sides, while tampers were going across to pack the soil. Rock has been laid in the parking area to the northwest which will be a lot for park visitors and pool customers. The $173,000 addition will be qu te an asset to Riveitide Park No deaths had been reported but the radio said there was no late word from Santiago, the island's second-largest city in the heart of the storm area. Earlier, Santiago reported winds hitting 95 miles an hour. Power was knocked out in many places and travel was paralyzed.

Flora was discovered by a hurricane hunter plane Monday just off the coast of Venezuela. Two hours later, the storm smashed across the island of Tobago, leaving 17 dead and a dozen others missing. Haiti Battered Friday morning, for nine hours, it battered Haiti with 140-mile-an- hour blows and torrential rain. Haiti is waiting for the United States to send helicopters, Philep- peau said, so that the damage in the flooded outer provinces can be surveyed. He said these had been promised.

LINCOLN (AP) The approximately 1,000 convicts at the Nebraska State Penitentiary, proud of their blood donating record, have challenged any town or city in the state up to 10,000 population to do as well. Inmates recently contributed 103 pints of blood under the Red Cross blood collection program. "We know there are many red- blooded communities in the state, but how many are blood giving?" The prison newspaper, The Forum commented in issuing die challenge. "We want to know, and will take on any community ten times our size to find any conv munity dare to try?" M-D drive folk short of lost year George Arterburn, chairman of the local Muscular Dystrophy drive, reports the march this past week fell far short of the total collected last year to help stop the spread of the disease. Some $500 was collected during the march.

Arterburn said another $200 300 could be added with the donations in the cannisters coming in November. However, it looks like the total may be far short of the $1,100 collection last year. Arterburn reported few turns are still coming to. but that much more to aetdod. In our plant.

Lao' Soukup Cleaners, So. 5th, DS4MI. own 115 Adv. I One detail which was misinterpreted by some readers last week was concerning the change ordei for restroom facilities. These restrooms wMI actually be under the same roof as the bathhouse with the snack bar at one end and the restrooms at the other, reports Adolph Gerdes, park superintendent.

The Pascal P. Paddock engineering firm hopes to get the soil portion finished as soon as possible. Much of the work on the bathhouse and other parts of the pool can be continued through the winter season, but the soil must be prepared before the ground is frozen. Footings in preparation to pour concrete for the bathhouse are led to be put to place this Asphalt base coat completed on Court Roberts Construction workers finished laying the base coat of asphalt overlay on West Court yesterday. Next week the crews will go back to the west end of the West Court project and begin working east with die top coat of overlay.

Limited traffic was permitted on the street yesterday with the barricades moved to the side. Apparently the rumor that part of the base coat at the west end of would have to be relaid is not true. Some had heard that the State Engineer said a small portion would have to be relaid since there was too much oil in the mixture due to a slipup on the gauge. However one of the Roberts fore man said yesterday that there was an error in calculation and that the mixture was okay.

South Viet Nam (AP) flames seated the life from a young Buddhist monk at Saigon's central market Saturday in the sixth fiery su'cide of the Buddhist campaign against President Ngo CHnh Diem.

Hundreds watched in horror. Saigon was thrown into new and potentially explosive turmoil in a political-religious crisis that had been quiescent since the government cracked down militarily in late August on Buddhist and student foes of Diem, a Roman Catholic. Topples Over Dead The monk appeared to be in his early 20s. Seated in the street, he doused his brown robes with gasoline and lit a match. Three m'n- utes later, he toppled over dead.

A leaflet tossed into the yard of Vietnamese intelligence headquarters identified him as Thich Quang Huong.

Richardson, and some other senior American officials at Saigon probably will be recalled In a shakeup of nel under Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge.

Reporting this Saturday informed sources said Richardson is being brought back to Washington "for consultation" but Lodge has asked for a permanent replacement. Others, Too The others who may be replaced in the diplomatic-military trouble spot were not named. It was said that Lodge, who took over as ambassador in late August, feels that changes are needed for a more effective performance in the prevailing circumstances. One major difficulty has been dealing with the authoritarian regime of President Ngo Dinh Diem. At one point Washington hoped Diem would get rid of his influential brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, who is regarded as a powerful advocate of tough tactics against the regime's Buddhist opponents.

With Washington trying but failing to get Nhu out of the palace or to change his policies, it was felt here mat U.S. officials in Saigon who had worked closely with Nhu are now in a position of decreased influence. Ci-fllct Also, there have beeft reports of conflict among U.S. Central Intelligence Agency men in South Viet Nam over whether there should be changes in the Saigon government. Richardson's Job is said to have required him to work closely with Nhu.

CargiU, of Minneapolis, one oj the big U.S. processors and shippers, sosjnestsd the Commerce Department for an export license, other informants said. Next Move The next move is up to the Kennedy administration, Hungarian diplomat said.

Other diplomatic sources said the Czech and Bulgarian embassies here also have expressed Interest in buying American grain, in an estimated total value of $60 million. Neither price nor conditions of payment were discussed, these sources said. They stressed, however that all three countries are on the market for considerable quantities, but, as one diplomat put "We will buy where we get the most favorable conditions." This, one source suggested, was an indirect reply to Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirkson of Illinois, who endorsed a possible gram sale to Communist countries with the reservation that the administration seek some Apolitical concessions" beyond the sale price. Serious Interest A Hungarian legation spokesman described his government's inquiry as an expression of "most serious interest" He said that Charge d'Affaires Jams Radvany, who heads the' legation, was instructed to call on the State Department and discuss the issue.

John Cole, vice president, conferred with Griffith Johnson, assistant secretary of state for economic affairs, before Car- till submitted a formal request for an export license. Radvany informed Harold C. Vedeler. director of the Office of Eastern European Affairs, about Hungary's interest. Like most European countries, Hungary had an exceptionally hard winter followed by a summer either too hot or with too much rain.

and David Halbe rstam of the New York Times ind then delivered a formal to the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry against the police attack. Sharkey had a head wound that required six stitches to close. He was under observation at Saigon's American Hospital. The other two were less severely injured. Wolfkill, who was clubbed in the back and kicked in the groin, said one plaindothesman had pulled a gun on the newsmen when they refused to surrender their cameras.

In New York, William R. Me- Andrew, executive vice president in charge of NBC news, said la a statement: "This was the climax of several months of harrassflient of American newsmen, including threats, absurd censorship now physical beatings. We are now asking the State Department not to be content with lodging a simple protest but to demand tiiat those responsible for his senseless brutality be brought to would happen in any civilized country." A spokesman for the Times said "We are sorry that our correspondent was injured and glad that he wasn't hurt more seriously. We recognize that he is working in a dangerous situation there."
