The U.S. Weather Bureau in Miami said some hurricane force winds were likely over Jamaica late today with the greatest threat to the south coast where tides five feet above normal were forecast. The once-mighty Beulah was tamed to a "minimal hurricane" as the gusts in her center slowed to 75 miles an hour.

Reports from gambling capital the Nevada said Sinatra lost two teeth in the row. Mahoney said here Monday night that Sinatra was "out on the town for tr? evening and I don't think be out anywhere if he was in the condition that-- some reports have de- him as being in." Ggests at the Sands said that after Sinatra finished his show at the hotel at 1:30 a.m. Satur day he scurried around in an electric baggage cart, ramming it into a heavy cigarette butt re ceptable and sending the recep tacle crashing through a plate glass window. Las Vegas police and the Clark County sheriff's office said they had not received a report of any such incident.

Whatever happened' during the marked the end of Sinatra's long and lucrative association with the Sands.

Shortly after the last performance -early Saturday, a Sinatra spokesman announced that the signed a with Cae- singer-actor had three-year contract sars Palace, a rival casino and hotel on the Las Vegas strip. The deal with Caesars calls for two engagements a year, by, -Sinatra for the' next three years. Part of the deal the sale of Cal-Neva Lodge at Lake Tahoe to the owners of-Caesars Palace. For the past 16 years, Sinatra has appeared in Las Vegas exclusively at the Sands. One report quoted Sinatra as saying he eft the Sands because "they wouldn't give me any credit in the casino." But Sinatra's attorney, Milton Rudin, said: "Not true." He said the only statement Sinatra had made was contained in the announcement of the agreement.

In the news release, Sinatra praised Caesars Palace and said he regretted his decision to leave.the Sands came so soon after industrialist Howard Hughes bought the hotel. Hughes bought the Sands late July and, according to some 'eports, has brought about some changes in the casino's policies. One source at the hotel said Sinatra apparently didn't agree with the new policies. Until late in 1963, Sinatra owned a major interest in the Cal-Neva and a small percentage of the Sands. He was forced to sell his casnio holdings, however, when the Nevada Gaming Commission revoked his license.

But Alfred Giardino, presiden of the New York City Board Education, warned of what hi. termed the "irreparable harm a strike might bring to children their parents and others in the community." 400,000 AT HOME Estimates of the effectiveness of the New York teacher walk but varied from 75 to 90 per cent but all agreed that norma instruction did not take place in the classrooms. More than 400,000 of the system's pupil also stayed home. Teachers, who have rejected a $125 million board-endorsee package, say they are holding out for a say in school policy and in the handling of disruptive children as well as more money. In Michigan there were also 77,000 pupils in 17 other districts outside Detroit without teachers.

Most union leaders looked to the Michigan Supreme Couiri where a ruling forbidding strikes "under any guise" was being appealed. In Houston, classes were planned in 11 churches for 1,151 and urged Jamaicans to prepare for high winds and heavy rain.
