It is ironical that the crowd fired on in front of the military headquarters was favorable to the Khanh regime. Khanh himself told the demonstrators that the soldiers who fired would be punished but after he departed the crowd built up again. And the violence became unrestrained. MOBS CLASH The UPI said that mobs of Buddhists and Roman Catholics roamed the streets, clashing again and again.

The worst incident was at the technical high school. It began when a crowd of Catholic demonstrators exchanged insults with predominantly Buddhist students. Stones began flying. In the melee the students captured five of the Catholics, hacking at them with machetes and beating them with clubs. Special forces broke up the battle with a bayonet charge.

The new three-man regime can be regarded as only a shaky caretaker arrangement, subject to mob rule and collapse at any moment. i 'r 1 1 liMilMIl i LJL luiLVj Victim of demonstrating Saigon students lies unconscious in street after HURRICANE DROVE SHIP AGROUND AND FELLED TREE ON CAUSEWAY Channel area between Miami and Miami Beach hit hard.

The Communists are reported to have some 20,000 troops massed outside the capital Even before the religious and political outbreaks of the past four days erupted, the war had taken a turn for the worse. American military advisers reported last week the Vietnamese forces lost about three soldiers for every two guerrillas they killed, the most unfavorable ratio this yeai, and large quantities of U.S.-supplied military equipment.

Here is his report as he radio-phoned it to his city desk.

BY KURT LUEDTKE Miami Herald Reporter MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -I'm at Lincoln Road and Collins. The salt spray is so thick you can drown standing up. Concrete urns, those plant things, are rolling down the mall like bowling balls. Palm trees are starting to go.

Wind is throwing the coconuts. It's impossible to walk now. I can barely drive. Bellhops from the Fontainebleau are running out now, trying to keep the area free from de bris. There's one guy knocked down and rolling across Collins.

Police cars are pulling into the hotels now. Can handle their cars. They've got to get out of the wind. I'm keeping my head down. winds have lessened some what.

It must be in the eye now. There's a man in his underwear. And there's a young cou ple walking down the street holding hands. A policeman has gone into the street with his horn, telling peo ple they re in the eye of the storm. They don't seem to be listening very hard.

I'm 20 yards from the ocean and I can't hear it. Container Firm Bought By Dymo Continued from Page 1 Modulux positions. They incorporated the company in 1961 as a successor to California Cargo Containers established a year earlier. Dymo said the classroom structure developed by Rafton and Titus meets requirements for permanent classrooms, yet permits economical relocation of these facilities in school districts handicapped by lack of classroom space. The same manufacturing processes are employed by Modulux in the production of cargo containers leased throughout the world.

Modulux' current headquarters and manufacturing plant are at 1273 Industrial Park Way West, Hayward, but a facility is now under construction on a 29-acre tract at 38505 Cherry Newark. According to Rafton, Modulux' estimated contribution to Dy-mo's total corporate earnings after taxes for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1965, will be $300,000.

rockets were lashed down and other preparations made for a big blow at America's spaceport. Many residents and businessmen in Miami boarded up in advance of the storm. But many others, after a 14-year-period in which the city saw only one hurricane, did not. Plate glass windows were shattered and store interiors wrecked. Mannikins blown from the display window of one store sprawled like bodies in the street.

Looting began soon after windows began to explode. In the fury of the storm, the thieves easily eluded police. Collins Avenue, site of Miami Beach's famous "hotel row," was a mass of fallen neon signs, trees and window glass. Fifty windows were smashed at the Fontainebleau Hotel and 700 guests fled their rooms into the lobby. Many other hotels along the avenue suffered similar damage.

The 85-foot yacht-Electromat-ic broke loose from its mooring and crashed into television's famed houseboat, "Surfside Six," in Indian Creek. THOUSANDS IN SHELTERS Thousands spent the night in shelters. Fifty-five pregnant women were admitted to Mt. Sinai Hospital before the hurricane struck. In the first gales ahead of the hurricane, two trusties working on the roof of the county jail took advantage of the confusion and fled barefooted into the storm.

Hospitals held staffs overtime to treat the injured. The Weather Bureau warned tides may reach five to seven feet above normal. Behind the hurricane lay a swatch of death and destruction in the Caribbean, with 14 dead in Guadeloupe, at least 60 in Haiti and the toll expected to rise. Long distance calls between residents and anxious relatives and friends in other parts of the nation jammed Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph lines. 41 fdt ii colors-including 'jtS F'nkPink!

Fallen trees blockaded hundreds of streets. No deaths were reported, but a looter shot by police was in critical condition in a hospital. County Manager Irving G. Mc-Nayr said he would ask to have the city declared a disaster area. There was no estimate of damage to public buildings, but McNayr called it "quite serious." A veteran policeman who was in Miami when the 1926 hurricane broke the big Florida land boom, said the storm was the worst since then.

Numerous fires broke out and couldn't be fought in the 115-mile an hour fury of the wind. One warehouse was destroyed at a half-million dollar cost. Fires still were breaking out w.ien dawn revealed the raw scars of the hurricane. Cleo, howling and moaning up from the south, slammed hurricane force winds into Miami at 2:20 a.m. One hour later, power failure plunged the city into darkness.

After crossing Miami, the eye of the hurricane moved on northward across Hallandale, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. Hurricane warning flags flew on up the coast to Cape Kennedy At 10 a.m., winds of 105 miles Meg Leaves Listing Yacht In Lifeboat OLBIA, Sardinia (AP) Britain's Princess Margaret, her husband, and the Aga Khan abandoned a yacht which hit a rock in heavy seas off Sardinia, and reached shore safely in rubber lifeboats, Italian authorities said today. Mario Costellucci, chief administrative officer for this vacation area, said the accident occurred Wednesday while the three, and the Aga Khan's French lawyer, Andre Arduc, were on an outing aboard the Aga Khan's pleasure boat, the Amaloun. Costellucci said the small yacht, which has a five-man crew, hit a rock about 75 yards off shore from Capriccioli. "Because the boat began taking water and listing, those aboard decided to go ashore in rubber lifeboats.

No one jumped or fell into the water, and there was no excitement," Costellucci said. Costellucci said the Amaloun was pulled off the rock and towed to port for repairs. Costellucci said earlier reports about the incident were exaggerated. One report said the princess was knocked into the' water, by the force of the collision and that the Aga Khan dived into help her. Another said the vachters all jumped into the Water when they feared the yacht was sinking.

The princess and her husband, the Earl of Snowden, have been the Aga Khan's guests at his hotel at Cola di Volpe, dur ing a three-week holiday.
