Air and shelling attacks were concentrated largely on Babel- thuap, largest of the Palaus, and the three southernmost Islands Angaur, Peleliu and Negesebus. Conquest of Palau will com pletely cut off the 2,000 mile long Caroline island chain, which has been bombed from end to end, and leave Its large garrisons, including Truk, faced by the prospects of surrender as the only alternative to starvation and con tinued bombings.

Traffic over the bridge Coin-jock will not hi restored before Monday and reports from Roanoke Island indicate that it will require four or five weeks to re pair the road and bridge across Roanoke Sound.

All telegraph, telephone and power lines leading to the island were broken down for more than 15 miles along the Nags Head beach. Scores of summer cottages were unroofed but none were completely destroyed, and there are no reports of personal injur' ies.

(IP) Forces of the Virginia Electric and Power Company, augmented by crews from Richmond, North Carolina and other Virginia points were working at top speed today in an effort to restore by tonight all electric power and light service knocked out by 70 to 90-mile winds during yesterday's storm.

Many hundreds of houses and buildings were left without light or power by breaks in electric lines most of which were cause by the falling of large trees across wires. City street cleaning forces and other municipal employes are try ing to remove fallen trees and clean up debris as rapidly as possible, but it will probably be sev eral days before the cleanup is completed, officials said, because of the manpower shortage and the necessity of maintaining regular services. First concentration will be directed to the removal of ha zards of various kinds. The Virginia Beach electric service was still out this morning, but officials, of the power com pany said they expected to have it restored before night. Crews were working from the Norfolk end.

The lines to the beach both directly and by Cape Henry were broken in several places. Most of the electric service In the city proper will be restored by tonight, lt was said, officials asserting that repair crews are "really going to town." The more Important breaks are being re paired first. Some food spoilage was expect ed to result from the suspension of electric refrigerator operation, but if service is restored by tonight this will not be serious. Ice dealers were experiencing a heavy demand for ice to tide over the period. Suffolk was deprived of light and power for a short time yesterday afternoon when a line serving the substation there blew down, while Elizabeth City, N.

C. was out for most of the afternoon. It will probably take several days to restore rural lines in tne sui- folk-Smithfield area. Indiana Wreck Toll Reaches 29 (Continued from Page One) waking up in the aisle. Our car was derailed and tipped over somewhat.
