'Brodie Babies' Bankbook' Gains and So Do the Twins Storm Near West Coast Of Florida Weather Bureau In Warning to Small Craft New Orleans. (UP) The weather bureau hoisted storm warnings along the west coast of Florida Monday night and warned small craft not to enter a tropical storm that already has disabled two motor ships.

The vessels were the 93-foot Kerry Mack, with nine men on board, and the fishing ship Gypsy, out of Charleston, S. C. The size of the Gypsy's crew was not determined, but should be at least two men. In an 11 p. m.

(EST) advisory, the weather bureau said the center of the storm has drifted westward and is about 250 miles west of Fort Myers, Fla. The advisory said that "squally weather continues over a large part of the east and middle Gulf of Mexico." The advisory reported winds of ''40 miles an hour or slightly higher occuring in squalls." At p. the center of the area was 300 miles west oi Fort Myers, and blowing east-northeast at a forward speed of six to eight miles an hour. Storm warnings were ordered up from Panama City to Everglades City. and the advisory said winds of 40 miles an hour velocity or higher would sweep most of the Florida west coast.

Waves and wind were violently beating both the Kerry Mack, helpless 85 miles southeast of the Mississippi river's South Pass, and the Gypsy, which lost her rudder 90 miles south of the entrance to Mobile bay. The fishing ship Sportsman, standing by the Kerry Mack, radioed the coast guard in New Orleans that the Kerry Mack was taking water badly. She had thrown a screw and burned out a clutch and probably did not have power to operate her pumps. An 85-foot coast guard patrol boat which left New Orleans to help the Kerry Mack went too far south because an earlier radio message gave the wrong location. The cutter Blackthorn, which was refueling the Sea Island lighthouse, was ordered out to help the Gypsy.

A paid sick leave program for the toolhouse workers will be drawn up within the next 30 days.

3. The committee Is agreeable to discuss the possibility of giving the toolhouse employes a paid holiday next New Year's day.
