Citrus men said that the damaged fruit would be falling for the next two weeks.

In western Cuba, the population faced serious food shortages as a result of the hurricane and U. S. authorities prepared to organize a relief expedition. The U. S.

embassy estimated the food loss, in stores, warehouses and fields, at more than $3,000,000. Two deaths at Miami were attributed to the storm and at Jacksonville a motorist was electrocuted when a power line fell across his auto during the height of the blow. At Miami the coast guard broadcast a warning to all mariners that a ship had sunk and blocked the entrance to Havana harbor and that no vessels could get in or out of the Cuban port. Communications to western Cuba where the storm struck its heaviest blow Wednesday remained disrupted; incomplete reports confirmed seven deaths. The injured were estimated from 300 to 400.

At Key West, six naval vessels were driven aground, but none was seriously damaged and there were no casualties. A navy tug which -removed 21 men from ver linings to the cloud. "Storm damage always looks worst at the edge of a grove," he said, "and that's where it actually is worst. When there's time to make a complete survey it may be found that the sheltered interiors of groves have been much less affected. "But there are other things to think about.

Florida's prospective crop was far too great for any normal times. Everybody, too, including us right here who have been arranging to get Bahaman pickers, has wondered how on earth we could get this huge crop in. It was inevitable that, even if the blow hadn't come, countless boxes would have rotted on the ground. "Many grove owners are yet going to find that the heavy rain will have done them more good on the balance of the crop and future crops than the wind it came with did harm. There's no doubt the paper losses are tremendous, but we are yet going to find valuable offsets.

One is that a surplus may be turned into shortage, so far as Florida fruit is concerned, and this may lead to either higher prices or confirmation of present ceilings." Logan stated the county produced about 2,000,000 boxes of citrus in 1943-44, of which grapefruit made up 80 per cent, oranges 20 and the smaller citrus fruits 5 per cent. He commented that irrigated fruit "stuck" better in the blow than the rest.

A huge Red army was smashing its way across East Prussia last night in the first Russian invasion of pre-war Germany, the Berlin radio announced officially.

The invading Third White Russian Army was led by Gen.

Meanwhile two other massive Russian armies attacked Germany to the north and south of Cher-niakhovsky's troops along the erupting 200-mile front.

Shipyard workers were permitted to leave their jobs before the storm struck. Schools also were dismissed. High tides were caused along the coast and winds in some places reached 100-miles-an-hour velocity.
