(AP Hurricane Loses Fury But Poses Serious Flood Threat Charleston, S.C. IP hurricane, plodded slowly today. While her winds had with a top of 50 miles an hour, her heavy rains threatened dangerous flooding. She left behind a trail of damage running into the millions of dollars and 10 deaths possibly attributable to her winds and rain.

At 8 a.m., the storm center was situated near Hickory, N.C., some 50 miles northwest of Charlotte. HER PATH was northward at about 12 miles an hour, but she appeared turning more northeastward and was expected to pick up forward speed as she moves across Virginia this aftrenoon and early tonight. Gracie's heavy rain was expected to cause flash flooding in western North Carolina, central and western Virginia, the eastern portion of West Virginia, western Maryland and central and eastern Pennsylvania. THE STORM now packs winds of about 40 m.p.h., with gusts to about 50 m.p.h. in some squalls.

Gracie ground ashore near here Tuesday morning with peak winds, torrents of rain and high tides. She brought rain, raging winds and high water all along the coast from Savannah, to Myrtle Beach, and swept inland to slash lowland communities along a path 100 miles wide. THREE DIED in South Carolina in traffic accidents attributable to the storm. All over the Carolinas and in border Georgia areas balmy Indian summer dissolved into rain and cool, strong winds. Several inches of rain fell, threatening floods on some rivers.

THE DOWNPOUR Tuesday night was heaviest in Gracie's path from Charleston. Northwest she moved to the Walterboro area, then turned north past Orangeburg and Columbia toward North Carolina. Homes, farm buildings and crops were damaged in Gracie's path through inland South Carolina. Damage in the millions was estimated at Charleston, where an insurance company spokesman said probably four out of every five houses were damaged $200 or so apiece.

Sought Pierre (UPI) -State Historian Will G. Robinson today appealed for public help in a search for pictures or likenesses of former South Dakota officials to complete a historical portrait gallery in the state capitol. Robinson said the State Historical Society has been given the job of keeping a gallery of important South Dakotans, both in government and private citizens, and lacks several governors, senators, congressmen and Supreme Court judges. ONLY FOUR of the territorial governors are in the gallery, he said, and the society needs likenesses of Govs. Jayne, Burbank, Pennington, Howard, Ordway and Church.

Nine of the 11 territorial representatives to Congress are missingJayne, Burleigh, Spink, Armstrong, Pettigrew, Raymond, Giffords and Mathews. Robinson said there were no portraits of Judges Bartlett, French, Shannon or Edgerton of the Dakota Territorial Supreme Court. Robinson said only Green was missing from the governors who are now dead, but the Berry portrait was being replaced. There are as yet no portraits of McMaster, Sharpe, Bulow and Herseth, all of whom are living. ONLY FIVE U.S.

senators are included, Robinson said, Gamble, Kittridge, Crawford and Norbeck, but of the deceased senators only Pettigrew, Kyle, Sterling, Johnson and Hitchcock are missing. "No less than 24 men have served as congressmen," he said, "and their showing in gallery is rather meager." Aside from the seven now living, the only portraits are of Pickler, Gamble and Dillon. In the Supreme Court, there have been 26 judges, nine of whom are living. Of the remaining 17, only portraits missing are of Corson, Kellam, Bennett and Rudolph. TRI-STATE LAWMEN WILL MEET IN S.F.
