A-4 HONOLULU ADVERTISER Dee. -18, .1984 Thousands Homeless After P. I. Storm for harvest were flooded by the typhoon's rains. Damage to coconut and abaca plantations in the southeast Luzon provinces also was expected to be heavy, besides public works and thousands of houses destroyed by Opal's fierce winds.

Opal was located by the Manila Weather Bureau at 2 a.m. today over the central plains of Luzon with peak winds of 63 miles per hour. Danger signals were still up over Manila and central and northern Luzon where intermittent rains and gusty winds were forecast today. Another night express train carrying 400 to 500 passengers was derailed in Tarlac Province 150 miles north of Manilla when the locomotive ran into a freight wagon shoved onto the tracks by wind. No casualties were mentioned in this accident.

A British freighter, the Swift River, remained aground in Jose Panganiban Bay, in southern Luzon. There were no casualties among its 42 crewmen. MANILA (UPI)-At least even persons were reported dead, scores injured, thousands homeless, and losses to crop and property high in the wake of typhoon Opal, threatening to regain force today. Some 3,000 passengers of a derailed Manila-bound night train express escaped death or serious injuries. Most of the deaths were by drowning.

Crop losses were heaviest in central Luzon provinces where vast rice fields ready New Israel Regime Due Next Week JERUSALEM, Israel (UPI) Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, who resigned Monday night with his cabinet, is expected to form a new government next, week, parliamentary sources said President Zolman S. Sha-zar planned to call in leaders of the major parties Friday morning to hear their proposals for a new government. After the proposals have been presented; Shazar iTntrc.niiinJ almost certainly will ask Eshkol to form a new government. Eshkol let it be known yesterday he will accept the premiership only on his own terms a government able to disregard demands for a new inquiry into the mystery-shrouded 1954 security mishap known as the "Lavon affair." Parliamentary sources said Eshkol would retain the same cabinet members with the exception of Development Minister Yosef Almogi who backed demands for a judicial inquiry into the Lavon affair. He is expected to retain Justice Minister Dov Joseph, although he recommended the investigation.

Eshkol, who is acting as caretaker premier until he is officially designated as the new candidate, was reported to have resigned in a maneuver aimed at strengthening his position within his Mapai Party. By resigning Eshkol avoideda vote of confidence over the 10-year-old Lavon affair, an incident believed to have involved a major blunder in Israeli-Egyptian security measures. Informed sources said Eshkol told President Zal-man Shazar he preferred to resign rather than face the prospect of receiving only a narrow majority.

The Congo (UPI) Gen. Joseph Mobutu, Congo army com- mander-m-c charged vesterdav that planes from the United Arab Republic, 4V Algeria and other African nations have been ferrying arms and equipment to tne Congolese rebel forces. A communiaiie bv the Mobutu displayed Communist Chinese arms which he said his troops seized in a rebel depot at Stanleyville. They included a 12.7 mm automatic anti-aircraft heavy machine gun with a Chinese manual, inspector's test and delivery certificate dated September 1963. Military experts said it was unlisted in foreign arms manuals but was similar to a type made in the Soviet Union.

Diplomatic sources said they had received information that four Soviet-built AN12 cargo planes landed recently in Juba in southern Sudan. Juba has been the rallying point for Congolese rebels who fled before ad- Congo army command said at least 4.000 of the Com munist-backed rebels have been equipped with foreign-made weapons recently.

OUR CHRISTMAS 1 ft Mmr i ftp GLASS vancing Congolese army troops. There were reports that rebel "president" Chris-tophe Gbenye took refuge there.

The sources said the Sudan does not possess any of the huge transport planes but the UAR, Algeria and Ghana do. Reports from Khartoum, capital of Sudan, said four AN12s with all-Russian crews landed there Sunday on the way to Juba. The planes bore Algerian markings but apparently had been hastily painted over as the Soviet star was visible under the new coating, the reports said. (The newspaper Sudan El Qadid reported that a Congolese rebel "information minister" had arrived in Khartoum with plans to open a liaison office there.) Blizzard Hits Plains; Schools Shut CHICAGO (UPI) A severe blizzard slammed across the Northern Rockies and Great Plains yesterday on 70-mile-an-hour winds. It spread travel-snarling snows from northwestern Washington to the Dakota flatlands, stacked drifts from the Cascade Mountains to the eastern Montana cow country and kept thousands of youngsters out of school.

The weather bureau said the Arctic blast was one of the most severe in several years in Montana. North of the border, the same full-scale blizzard battered southern Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada. Winds roved the western mountains and plains. The mercury skidded to 31 below zero in the Colorado Rockies. Temperatures dropped instead of climbing during the daylight hours in Montana, reaching 26 below at Cut Bank, and S3 below readings were expected.
