KRUEGER A 60-year-old Miami Beach man suffered an apparent heart attack while driving west over the Julia Tuttle Causeway early this morning and crashed through a steel mesh fence separating the roadway from Biscayne Bay. The driver, Harry Brodkin, of 1572 Meridian Miami Beach, was dead when Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Charles Merritt arrived on the scene.

She was expected to sail from Tensacola this afternoon. The first relief supplies, however, were already en roule from Miami. At 6 a.m. a TAN Airlines C-46 cargo plane took off from Miami International Airport with 4.R00 pounds of food and medicine.

IT WAS A A7GT TO GET IN SPIRIT OF THINGS By DON BRANNING Wasn't there something eerie about the mist in the suburban streets last night? Why did the kerosene pots on detour streets glitter in a certain way? Why was It sad, hours later, when the troops of masked children had disappeared? Late in the afternoon, a girl in a huge mask ran down a sidewalk. This was in broad daylight and was a signal.

Then, after dark, they were darting across lawns, down driveways. Supplicants beneath porch lights; flocks running toward lighted doorways. Rabbits on street corners, unsure of floppy feet, holding to adult hands. A paper pumpkin in the Howard Johnson's restaurant on Key Biscayne. A little girl in a red devil suit with a long tail of Oran, and set 12 European farms on fire.

There was no immediate report on European deaths or injuries.

S. Atomic Energy Commission announced the explosions were touched off yesterday at Russia's arctic test site.

The N-bomb is a controlled thermonuclear detonation, a sort of second cousin to the H-bomb. Its blast and heat effects are held to a bare minimum, and the force of the weapon goes into producing in a flash the lethal neutron radiation.

That's New York City and Long Island after more than a week of a milk drought that shows no sign of an early end. The walkout of 10,000 milk truck drivers and plant workers of three Teamsters Union locals has cut off the normal flow of 8 million quarts a day to 10 million consumers in the area.

CLOCKS AT ISSUE Federal, state and city mediators have pleaded with the disputants, and purse-hurt producers have appealed to President Kennedy. But labor and management remain deadlocked over whether time clocks should be installed to determine overtime. I-abor wants it; management opposes it And the ia'jL-t word is that Orphanages, hospitals, schools and other institutions are getting 418,000 quarts daily under an emergency plan agreed to by the strike disputants. But for the average 10-year-old at home, things are tough. Mrs.

Wagner declared some merchants were bootlegging tha stuff and selling it at outrageous prices as much as 90 cents a quart The mayor said he would send investigators into the Md and publicly denounce milk profiteers.
