PENNANT 'LIBERATED' MIAMI Killer Hurricane Flora, with more than 400 dead already in her wake, threatened Sunday night to plunge once more across hard-hit Cuba. Another pass in a north ward turn across Cuba would find Fidel Castro's eastern provinces in sorry shape to weather Flora's de structive winds and flooding rains. Havana Radio said Sun day night that 30,000 persons have been evacuated from flooded villages around Vic toria de Las Tunas and 4,700 from Santiago de Cuba's suburbs.

Roth cities are in ravaged Oriente Province, which with neighboring Camaguey have been scourged by a lora since Friday. The broadcast said Santiago ran out of drinking water and many dwellings collapsed. An earlier broadcast quoted agrarian reform officials as saying the havoc in eastern Cuba may have destroyed half the country's rice, cotton, coffee and cocoa production. Centered Near Coast Throughout Sunday the center of the season's sixth hurricane lay just south of Santa Cruz del Sur on Cuba's Caribbean coast spreading to a size that sent pales blusterine 400 miles northward and 200 miles south. Miami, 380 miles north-northwest of center, felt the gales.

At 11 p.m. Miami weather bureau forecasters said Flora was expected to start a northern turn today. Gale warnings flew as far north a3 Stuart, nearly one-third the way up Florida's east coast. Although "radical changes" in the storm's course was seen probable, the threat to south Florida was not considered "significantly increased." according to the Weather Bureau. U.S.

Help As Cuba reeled under the hammer blows of the storm, the Haitian Embassy in Washington reported that mors than 400 bodies had been counted in that stricken nation. And, with roads to many towns blocked by flood and landslide, the survey is not complete. In Washington, an American Red Cross spokesman said two of the organiza- inn's officials would fly to Port-au-Prince to assist the Haitian Red Cross in surveying the disaster area to determine which needs must be met immediately. They are scheduled to arrive this morning. By 3 p.m.

HEAT WAVE SETS RECORDS IN MIDWEST 8Y UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL An October heat wave pushed temperatures to record highs in the Midwest Friday.

The U.S. Southern Command announced from its headquarters at Balboa in the Panama Canal Zone that its chief, Gen. Andrew P.

O'Meara, will make what it insisted is a "routine scheduled annual visit" to Brazil. A Defense Department spokesman here confirmed both the visit and its purported intent. But other observers, recalling a similar visit by a high Southern Command officer to Honduras just before the recent coup there and noting the Brazilian army's role in the prevailing emergency, were inclined to lend more political significance to OMeara trip. Debate Siege Issue The issue of, the state of siege, requested by Brazilian President Joao Goulart on Friday, will be debated in the nation's federal congress today. Goulart sought the move to meet what he called "grave internal commotion endangering democratic in stitutions." If his request is granted and this seemed doubtful Sunday many of Brazil's constitutional guarantees would be suspended for the next 30 days, but the action would be short of declaring martial law.

O'Meara's trip follows on the heels of a policy statement by Edwin M. Martin, assistant secretary of state for Inter-American affairs, declaring that "a United States frown doesn't deter others from committing what we consider to be political sins." Praises Some Regimes Democracy cannot be esta blished by "constitutional fiat," Martin said, and his statement went on to praise the "progressive" accomplishments of some military regimes in Latin America. American officials emphasized Sunday the distinction between Brazilian military pressure upon Goulart to seek emergency powers and an attempted take-over by the military itself if Goulart's government falls.

"This makes up for every thing," said manager Walt Alston, who a year ago took the brunt of the abuse showered on the Dodgers when they blew the National League pennant in the final week.

Sunday's final game was another pitching victory, as three Los Angeles hurlers humiliated the bombless Bronx Bombers by limiting them to four runs in 3tJ innings. Ford Pulled Out Whitey Ford, New York's fine lefthander, held the Dodgers to only a pair of hits before he retired for a pinch batter and deserved a better fate. The winning run in tha seventh came after Joe Pepi-tone lost third baseman Clete Boyer's throw of Jim Gilliam's ground ball in tha white shirt-sleeve background of the left field stands. The ball hit the youthful first baseman's arm and chest and then slithered off to roll up against the right field stands. Before he could retrieve it, Gilliam had sped to third base.

Davis Brings in Run Willie Davis promptly brought him home with a fly ball deep enough to right center for Gilliam to cross the plate standing up. Lp to that time Koufax and Ford were locked in a pitching duel, although each had been touched for a home run.

3 Marine Chief Tells of Alert in Viet Crisis BY TED SELL Lm Anselet Timet Newt Service TOYKO At the height of the August-September Bud dhist crisis in South Viet Nam, Marines on Okinawa boarded airplanes for movement to Viet-Nam, the Ma rine Corps commandant dis closed here Sunday. The alert was later can celed. Four star Gen. David Shoup said other Ma rines moved south dur ing the crisis which found Viet-Namese president Ngo Dinh Diem declaring martial law and a spate of anti- American material appear ing in the controlled Viet- Namese press. Marines on Ships "There were a lot of ma rines aboard ship down that way about then," Shoup declared.

Other units of the 3rd Marine Division on Okinawa were alerted for shipboard operations and were stand ing by for boarding, the year-old marine commandant said. Shoup's comments came during an informal visit in his Tokyo hotel room on the last stop of his farewell tour to marine units. Shoup is to step down as marine commandant Dec. 31 to be succeeded by Lt. Gen.

Wal lace M. Greene. Shoup has visited marine units in Hawaii, Okinawa and Japan. He will leave for Washington Tuesday. Notes Latin Peril If Marines are called to fight in regular combat units in the next four years, it probably will be in Latin America, Shoup said.

De spite explosive situations in Asia and elsewhere, the greatest potential for dangerous revolutions probably is in South America, he explained.

1 INDEX OF. And Sunday afternoon the continent tilted once more. It was such a jolt that the World's Baseball Championship, long considered a permanent part of New York State, like Poughkeepsie, broke loose from Manhattan and slid all the way into Chavez Ravine. The noble Yankees sank almost without a trace. There was hardly enough left for the record books.

Baseball's mightiest sluggers had made a total of four runs in four games. Moderate Roar In the stands the 55,912 customers, when the Yan kees died, raised a moderate roar, as if the Dodgers had merely vanquished, say, Phil adelphia. It was not as if a great champion had gone down. It was like a has-been taking sick and curling up his toes without a cry of protest. These were hardly the losing Yankees of, 1960, who frightened the Pittsburgh! Pirates almost to death with 55 runs even while the Pirates were winning the Series.

The championship really! two minutes before the offi cial end of the fourth game This was when Mickey Mantle stood wax-like, his bat motionless over his shoulder, and watched San dy Koufax's third strike whistle past him. And Mantle, the terror of pitchers for a decade, walked back the long road from the batter's box to the Yankee dugout like a man reluctantly going to a funer al, head bowed, his right hand holding the useless bat by the wrong end. Yankee First The explosion of cheering off by this mortal strikeout fell off almost in stantly as the crowd seemed to sense the defeat symbolized by Mantle's lonely walk back in the shadow of the grandstand to the gloomy dugout. Then there were a couple of anti-climaxes an error at second and Bobby Richardson was on. But Lopez grounded out and the 1963 Yankees became the first Yankee team to 1 the Please Turn to Pg.
