(AP (-Hurricane Inez attacked eastern Cuba today with screaming, 138-mile-an-hour winds, and in her wet, gloomy wake a blackout of communications concealed a possible human tragedy in Haiti's "Vallev of Death." At 9:30 a.m.

(EST), the Miami Weather Bureau received a report that Guantanamo City, at the eastern end of the Communist island, was taking a sustained blow of 138 m.p.h. and that peak gusts might be much more powerful. High tides swept ashore as the storm fell on the island. "I don't see how Haiti could have escaped a disaster," said Gordon Dunn, chief of the Miami Hurricane Center. Regains Ferocity Weakened in her Titanic battle with the mountains of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Inez had regained much of her ferocity in the water crossing to Cuba.

The U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay was hammered by sustained winds of 127-mile an hour velocity as the great storm crossed the coast of Cuba's Oriente Province, and Fidel Castro's struggling economy faced a disastrous blow. Haiti's "Valley of Death" is a deep trough between mountain ranges, reached from the coastal town of Barahona on the Tiburon Peninsula to Port-au-Prince, the capital 150 miles away. Gigantic Floods Straight into this trough, Inez hurled the full force of her wind and rain. Funneling between the mountains, the winds may have built up well beyond the 160-mile-an-hour velocity the storm then possessed.

And Dunn said gigantic floods surely raced down the steep (Turn to INEZ, Page 16) '7 -Vug es for cuts on her lower legs and feet. Her home was demolished.

(UPI Telephoto) CLEVELAND (AP) A tornado ripped through southeast Cleveland late Thursday afternoon, injuring at least 22 persons, damaging' 130 structures and causing unofficial damage of $1 million. Late this morning, H. N.

Burke, meteorologist in charge of the U. S. Weather Bureau here, confirmed that the storm was a tornado. Damage Over Million In his statement, he said the Red Cross reported 22 persons suffered minor injuries. Of the 130 damaged buildings, the Red Cross said 15 were demolished and 22 received major structural damage.

Damage estimates from the suburbs affected and from the utility companies passed the $1 million mark. Cleveland Service Director Robert Kelly said he has been unable to estimate damage in the city so far. The Weather Bureau said this is the latest date for a tornado in Cuyahoga County since records began in 1870. The previous latest date was a small tornado in the Collinwood area Aug. 31, 1877.

38 Homes Hit A 14-year-old Garfield Heights High School freshman, Miss Beryl Thompson, told Red Cross officials she was doing her homework when a gust of wind blew her out of the house.

County commissioners received notice of the state finding a month ago but dt was not made public until Thursday at the Courthouse. A state building inspector found 15 violations of the building code in making the annual inspection of the antiquated institution erected in 1900. Most of the violations uncovered in the inspection involved inadequate fire safetv standards.

The Star learned Thursday that the state building inspector's office reported (o the Ohio Department of Pub- llou.se Okays Bill, Tightens Control on Money To Be Spent WASHINGTON (AP) The fight over the antipoverty program shifts to the Senate today where debate opens on a authorization bill that is $750 million above the administration's budget. The Senate action follows House passage Thursday night of a bill tailored to the budget request but tightening controls over how the money could be spent. The House vote was 210 to 156. GOP Planninfg Drive No votes are expected in the Senate before next week when Republicans plan a drive to cut back the increased authorizations added by the Labor Committee. The funds would boost authorizations for Head Start, a program for preschoolers; and the Neighborhood Youth Corps, which puts needy youths to work in public agencies.

Money also was added to start a new program for neighborhood health centers. For the first time since the antipoverty program started two years ago. the House set spending limits on each of the many programs directed by the Office of Economic Opportunity.

South Viet Nam (AP) B52 bombers delivered a one-two punch today in two raids against North Vietnamese forces fighting U.S. Marines just south of the demilitarized zone. The B52s unloaded tons of bombs on infiltration routes, and supply and assembly areas for the Communists fighting on the southern edge of the zone dividing North and South Viet Nam.

Near Dong Ha One raid hit 20 miles southwest of Dong Ha, now a major base for Marines battling North Viet Nam's 324B division in Operation Prairie. The other bombing attack was made 18 miles northwest of Dong Ha. The two raids came less than 12 hours after Marine artillery, mortars and napalm rained down on a Communist command post in a valley a mile and a half below the demilitarized zone.

Their dispute sent the $58-bil-lion defense appropriation bill back toward a House-Senate conference after the Senate rejected it Thursday because the House-passed compromise left out the reserves question. The Senate's reserves plan was tacked onto the money bill but the House turned it down and passed its own reserves measure as a separate bill.

The President has not asked for any of the authority the two chambers are arguing about. The Senate plan, authored by Sen. Richard B. Russell, would give the President authority to mobilize about 467.000 reservists without declaring a national emergency. A man could be activated for 24 months, minus any time he already had served on active duty.

Under present law. a national emergency must be declared before reservists can be called to active duty. This has not been (Turn to RESERVES, Page 16) C3 TAR approved" use of the old building for children's home purposes. THE REPORT listed 15 violations of the slate building code which C. R.

Contacted by telephone in his office today at Columbus, Mr. Daubenmire said it would be uo to the state department of welfare as to what would be done about the report.

So far as it could be learned today, the welfare department has not yet pressed the county to make corrections to the building which is to be abandoned for a new $560,800 child welfare center.

"That means he will stay." one diplomat remarked. "I think lie will not," said another. The council after a 35-minute private meeting Thursday issued a communique saying if Thant "should express willingness to serve another term, it would fully meet the desires of the members of the council." Thant later declined to tell reporters when he would come to some conclusion. He referred to his spokesman's statement and said: "That's all I want to say for the moment Thant's five-year term expires Nov.

U.N. diplomats fear that if Thant insists on retiring, the United States and the Soviet Union may take a long time to agree on a successor. The council Thursday also considered its annual report to the assembly but failed to adopt the full report. It disagreed over the wording of clauses dealing with East Germany's application for U.N. membership and with a (Turn to THANT, Tage 16).
