John Copyright, J92S, XKA Service. Transmitted by Telcphoto. The greatest loss of life in the disastrous Florida hurricane occurred in the vicinity of Lake Okeechobee, where approximately 300 persons met death.

This, the first picture brought out of that section, shows all that is left of a school house at Canal Point, near the lake. The lake, swelled by the torrential rains, overflowed its dykes and flooded thousands of acres. In many places the waters rose so quickly that residents did not have time to escape with their lives. Action May Be Deemed Necessary As Remaining Bodies Are a Menace To the Survivors Who Are Half-Famished and Unclothed. (By International News Service)The work of burying' Florida's dead and searching for the missing lagged today as exhausted survivors and relief workers, hollow-eyed from lack of sleep since the West Indian hurricane struck on Sunday wallowed in the deep muck and water covering the stricken section around Lake Okeechobee in western Palm Reach county.

Most of thc survivors, half-famished, almost totally unclothed and crushed by the death of relatives, are physically unable lo aid in the relief work. The need of money is so pressing that Red Cross officials in the state are considering the advisability of requesting federal aid to the extent of $500.000. Governor Martin, of Florida, has appealed to mayors of all cities in the state to send funds imediately to th3 stricken area. Jn addition, individual contributions from private citizens and various organizations throughout the country are coming in. With a total of between 700 and SOO dead in Palm Beach county admitted by Red Cross officials in West Palm Beach, in addition to the hundreds of missing, shipments of bodies continue to reach the Palm Beaches from the Ever- glades by truck and boat.

One barge with 100 bodies is being towed here through a canal. Other bodies are being burled in ditches in the regions around Lake Okeechobee. The corpses, most of which are found floating in the flooded section, are so badly decomposed that It is becoming impossible them. Sanitation is to move extremely difficult and strenuous efforts are being made to ward off the spectres of pestilence and disease. Evacuation of the flooded area between Pahokee and Canal Point by quarantine unless the remaining bodies are disposed of by tomorrow may be deemed necessary, according to Red Cross officials.

(INS)--With the double blight ot pestilence and starvation hanging over a great area of Porto Rico, search parties today penetrated into isolated regions of the storm zone to bury the dead as quickly as they could be found. There is no lime for funeral ceremonies nor identification. The fact that many bodies have lain exposed for days in the hot wet atmosphere makes immediate burial or cremation necessary to prevent disease. Clouds of vultures hover over the storm ridden districts where, partly hidden beneath the debris, lie the bodies of men, women and children. More than 150.000 persons in Porto Rico need food.

More than 1.500 need immediate medical attention The exact number of dead has not yet been determined. GoVernor Horace M.
