Daily Press, Sunday, Aug. 18, 1985 Men-of-war close resort's beaches I I A2 ft I I' I mix NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) Portuguese men-of-war infested the waters off this resort city for a second day Saturday, stinging more than three dozen people and forcing officials to again ban ocean bathing. Swimming and wading were prohibited along 4.5 miles of beach Friday afternoon after at least 66 people were stung by the men-of-war, but the ban was lifted Saturday morning. But by 3:30 p.m.

the beaches were closed again, with the ban extending the nine-mile length of the city's "I don't know when we will open the beach," said Wayne Hoover, supervisor of the Sun Beach Service. "We tried today, and for three hours it wasn't too bad." Lifeguards prevented people from going into the water until they went off duty at 5:30 p.m., and police patrolled the beaches during the evening. Seven sting victims sought treatment at medical facilities, and lifeguards helped others by treating stings with ammonia diluted by water. "Sometime the sting is so painful that victims hyperventilate and it scares people to death," said Dr. M.

E. McClure, a physician at the emergency care facility. The wind blows the men-of-war in from warmer tropical waters, McClure said. A man-of-war floats on the water and looks like a purple balloon with tentacles that can extend up to. 20 feet.

The tentacles leave welt-like stings. tel. AP photo rlT11 mSMJnjiru. jmrnnMrntmirm W(BSQttIh(BF moves pieces of a mobile home wrecked by high windsWitnesses said a tornado hit.

Police also said fire bombs were heaved at the homes of two members of the mixed-race chamber of Parliament, which seats Asians, whites and mixed-race people in segregated chambers but denies representation to the black majority. New curfew laws appeared to be effective in Soweto, near Johannesburg, and in several other black districts. Police reported no incidents during curfew hours from 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Saturday.

The curfew is in force until further notice. More than 600 people, nearly all of them black, have perished in disturbances that began last August. Most victims were killed in confrontations with police, but black mobs killed many other blacks thought to be informers or collaborators with white rule, such as police offi- Spill forces evacuation PENDLETON, Ind. (UPI) A chemical spill from a railroad car Saturday forced the evacuation of between 500 and 1,000 residents of the north edge of Pendleton, authorities said.

One elderly woman who fell as she was being taken from a retirement home was the only confirmed injury, officials said. cers and town councilors. A police spokesman said Saturday officers shot and killed one man after he threw a gasoline bomb at a security vehicle near Worcester, a wine-producing center about 52 miles inland from Cape Town near the Hex River Mountains.

A police shotgun blast killed a second man in a crowd throwing stones near the farming center of Bethal, 81 miles east of Johannesburg, he reported. Neither victim was identified. The police spokesman, who cannot be identified under department rules, said he did not know if the victims died late Friday or before dawn Saturday. The 152 people reported detained between early Friday and early Saturday were the most seized in one day since more than 200 were believed to have been detained July 23, two days after the government gave security forces emergency powers. On Thursday, police said 746 people were being held.

The figure was 786 on Friday and jumped by 152 to 938 on Saturday. Police do not elaborate on the data beyond issuing telexed messages giving the number of people being held and, occasionally, the number released since emergency law was imposed. On Saturday, the police said 1,022 had been freed since July 21. The Detainees Parents Support Committee, which works on behalf of detainees and publicizes their plight, said in a statement Friday it had heard some detainees were being tortured. A spokesman for the national Prisons Department said the charge was too vague to investigate.
