OUHf, IMUVCVIOCK 4J, I I 10,000 Keache Other Happenings; ffiSjm.Cydone.'IbH- 1,, Around the World. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister J. Vengal Rao said the cyclone was the worst storm to hit that area since 1864, when 35,000 people were killed. "Farmers were expecting a good harvest this year, but all that is washed away," he said. He estimated damage would reach the hundreds of millions of dollars.

More than 1.5 million acres of rice, sugar and cane fields were destroyed. Meterologists use the term cyclone to describe storms in the Indian Ocean that are the equivalent of hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the Pacific. in the tidal wave that followed the cyclone. Reddy said the storm dumped to 16 inches of rain in eight hours in some areas. A spokesman for the Bombay Weather Office said another cyclone that was threatening the, western coast had weakened.

"The villages have overnight been turned into burial grounds," said State Education Minister V. Krishna Rao. He reported going on foot from village to village, cutting through debris with an axe, and finding devastation everywhere. He said he had to wade through floating corpses in some villages. Other officials who flew over the battered areas also reported seeing corpses and animal carcasses floating on the waters.

In one village, 40 persons who took shelter in a house and 45 others who huddled in a high school died when the buildings were flattened by the storm. The education minister said there were too few survivors in the villages to bury so many bodies and police were ordered to assist with mass burials. NEW DELHI, India (UPD-- A cyclone with 90 mph winds and the tidal wave that followed washed away 21 villages and left 10,000 persons dead along India's battered southeast coast, officials reported Tuesday. Another 100,000 persons were reported left homeless by the weekend storm -the worst to hit eastern India in more than a century. Andhra Pradesh State Revenue Minister P.

(UPD Europe's first weather satellite, Moteosat 1, lifted off without a hitch Tuesday night aboard a Delta rocket after two postponements caused by mysterious radio signals. The rocket carrying Meteosat 1 was fired at 8:35 p.m. EST. Space officials announced only shortly before the launch that the unidentified radio signals discovered coming in on the rocket's command destruct system last Wednesday apparently originated from equipment aboard the Redstone, an Air Force tracking ship anchored at nearby Port Canaveral.

Uncertainty over the source of the signals had caused the launch to be scrubbed twice. Officials said 25 minutes after the launch the satellite entered Into a highly elliptical orbit 115 miles above the earch, as planned. The satellite, owned by the ESA, is part of a $240 million program expected to improve European weather forecasting by transmitting weather photos every half hour. European forecasters now receive photos only twice a day from an American satellite. Meteosat 1 also is expected to become part of a five-satellite, worldwide weather forecast network that also will include American, Japanese and Russian satellites.

Vance Makes No Progress on Nuclear Issue BRASILIA, Brazil (UPD U.S of U. S. Ambassador John Crimmins importance of human rights," Trattner Vance's courtesy, call to Brazilian President Ernesto Geisel, said the two delegations also had a "frank and full discussion about human rights," the second sensitive issue to spring up between the two countries since President Carter took office. said, "but they differed on ways and means of achieving their goals." The United States favors a regional approach to the protection of human rights in the hemisphere, working through the Organization of American States' "Both sides agreed on the human Brezhnev Extols 'Developed Socialism9 towards ever fuller satisfaction of the people's many and diverse material and cultural requirements," Brezhnev said. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance Tuesday held five hours of talks with Brazilian leaders but failed to make headway in President Carter's campaign to prevent the spread of nuclear technology to Latin America.

Vance arrived Tuesday morning for a 21-hour visit to the Brazilian capital; second stop on a three-country tour of Latin America. He brought with him a 10-member delegation of top diplomatic aides and high ranking experts in nuclear armaments, human rights and trade. He met with Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio Azeredo da Silveira on three separate occasions, ostensibly to comply with the 'Memorandum of Understanding" signed in 1976 by Azeredo da Silveira and then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger requiring periodic consultations between the two But five hours of talks at the residence and at the Brazilian Foreign Ministry failed, as expected, to produce any movement on either side regarding Brazil's decision to purchase $4.7 billion in nuclear energy technology from West Germany. The Brazil-West Germany agreement includes a contract to build a nuclear reprocessing plant giving Brazil the capability to produce weapons-grade nuclear material, possibly by 1985. Vance delegation spokesman John Trattner said the secretary and Azeredo da Silveira had discussed "several general topics," including nuclear weapons, human rights, multilateral trade, and the Middle East, "The talks were friendly, frank, cordial and businesslike," Trattner said, invoking the diplomatic codewords to indicate there had been no movement in persuading Brazil to cancel the West German project.

Trattner, briefing newsmen on MOSCOW (UPD Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev said Tuesday the Soviet Union has reached a stage of "developed socialism" that gives the Soviet citizen a higher standard of living than ever before. Brezhnev wrote an extensive article for the "World Marxist Review," an English language edition of the Soviet magazine "Problems of Peace and Socialism." Much of the article repeated comments he made in a recent address to the Supreme Soviet. "It has been possible to achieve a perceptible swing of the economy "The Soviet people's material and spiritual life has risen to a new, incomparably higher level, their real incomes have increased more than fivefold in comparison with 1936. The general culture and education have substantially increased." He also said that the past 60 years of experience as a Socialist state indicate the Soviet society is moving toward the communism envisioned by Marx and Lenin.

-wvrrwr SAVE SAVE 40 I Q99 Soviets Scrub SST Flight Again MOSCOW (UPD For the third straight week, the Soviet airline Aeroflot has canceled the scheduled flight of its new droop-nosed, TU-144 supersonic passenger airliner. Aeroflot opened supersonic passenger service between Moscow and Alma-Ata, 2,000 miles to the south, Nov. 2 with an inaugural run that carried mostly journalists. Since then, each subsequent scheduled flight has been canceled. The Soviet supersonic transport dubbed the "Concordski" was scheduled to begin passenger service to Alma-Ata six years ago, but ran into repeated delays.

AeroflQt said Tuesday the flight was canceled due to weather conditions in Alma-Ata and would be rescheduled for Wednesday. According to the Intourist office in Alma-Ata, skies were clear and the weather was excellent, except for some ground fog at the airport. It reported that one plane already had arrived in the morning from Moscow. Aeroflot said the passengers on the flight were already aboard the aircraft when the flight was canceled. The second scheduled flight of the TU-144 was set for Nov.

9, but was rescheduled for the following day due to celebrations of the anniversary of the Nov. 7 Russian Revolution. The delayed flight also was scrubbed. f.S.. Japan Eye Seabed Mining TOKYO (UPD American lawmakers, winding up two days of talks, called on Japan Tuesday to join the United States in developing deep seabed resources to make the two nations less dependent on mineral imports from the Third World.

The American delegation to the 3rd U.S.-Japan-Ocean Forum indicated that the United States is ready to go ahead with deep seabed mining if the United Nations Law of Sea Conference fails to produce an agreement next spring. "There is no scarcity in the seabed mining," Rep. John M. Murphy, told a news conference. "Our perception is to urge Japan to join us in our efforts to the development of deep seabed mining." Murphy, a co-sponsor of a U.S.

house of Representatives bill authorizing private enterprises to develop nodules, and 10 other congressmen concluded two days of talks with their Japanese counterparts on deep seabed resources development, fisheries, marine pollution and ocean in general. Amis Sale Restraint Urged WASHINGTON (UPD French Defense Minister Yvon Bourges, winding up two days of talks that included a meeting with President Carter, said Tuesday restraint on arms sales is an issue that cannot be dealt with bilaterally between France and the United States. Bourges said at a news conference that the question of arms sales to third countries came up in his meeting Tuesday with Defense Secretary Harold Brown. Carter, in announcing policy guidelines earlier this year to limit U.S. arms sales in the future below the figure for fiscal year 1977, said he would try to get other countries to adopt restraints on the growing world arms trade.

"France believes this is a problem which must receive an international solution, that is, a global solution," said Bourges, adding that his country has "certain commitments" to sell military hardware but is "a modest supplier of arms in the overall East-West context." Major 'Koreagate' Break Told WASHINGTON (UPD A House subcommittee investigating South Korean CIA activities in the United States has obtained new evidence showing that KCIA agents sought to influence American foreign policy, congressional sources said Tuesday. "This will be a major development in Koreagate," one said. The sources said about half a dozen witnesses, Koreans and Americans, would give "new evidence of KCIA efforts to influence American public opinion and foreign policy" to the House International Relations subcommittee headed by Rep. Donald Fraser, D-Minn. KCIA is the Korean Central Intelligence Agency.

The subcommittee Tuesday said only that it would hold public hearings Nov. 29 and 30. None of the prospective witnesses was named. Ro" SAVE 4.00 Reg. 21.90 WaterPik Oml Irrigating Apptiamte Showers the mouth with 1200 jets of water a minute for deep i cleaning.
