Four persons perished in Massachusetts, one in Connecticut, another in Nova Scotia. Six highway fatalities in New York state were attributed to the hurricane. Southern New England, braced for devastation reminiscent of the 1938 hurricane, was spared heavy property damage and even in the areas hardest hit water, not wind, was blamed for much of the destruction. Telephone lines went out of service on a scale that once again saw repair crews head from southern New England into Maine, where their task was complicated by road washouts that caused a ban on travel by all but emergency vehicles.

First witness was Arthur Strunk, who for many years was an FBI agent inside the ranks of the Communist group in the Dayton area. STRUNK WAS UNMASKED months ago his' testimony was used to help convict E. Melvin Hupman and Walter Lovvman of false statements in' their anti- Communist affidavits under the Taft-Hartley Law.

His testimony then was limited largely to the Hupman and Lowman cases. Today he faced a sub committee of the house un-Amer ican activities committee, and his testimony' presumably was to be permitted to cover the entire field of re-ported Communist activity in th.2 Dayton area. That area includes the village of Yellow Springs in which Antioch college is located. Rep. Gordon Scherer, Cincinnati Republican who heads the subcommittee, stressed in an opening statement at today's hearing that congressional interest in alleged subversion in the Dayton Yellow Springs area had its origin in a number of complaints from residents of the area.

He said in his prepared statement: "Over a considerable period, the committee received complaints and requests for an investigation. The committee, in accordance with its rules, attempted to check these complaints quietly. As a result of our staff's investigations and report, the full committee ordered these hearings. They are not being held because of requests, but as a (See 12) Boat In Hurricane Lands On Airfield BOSTON tional air port officials smiled today as they, recalled a plea made by an unidentified telephone caller during Saturday's hurricane.

(AP) Brig. Gen.

Ralph W. Zwicker swore today he had no recollection of muttering at a pub- iic hearing in New York City that Sen. McCarthy was an 'S. 0. And Zwicker, testifying before Jie senate committee considering censure charges against McCarthy, insisted he was under explicit orders when h'e handled an honorable discharge for Maj.

Irving Peress. Peress is the army dentist McCarthy has described as a Fifth Amendment Communist. ONE OF THE censure charges against McCarthy is that he abused Zwicker in questioning the general last Feb. 18 in New York City about the Peress case. McCarthy was acting then as chairman of the senate investigations subcommittee.

His conflict with Zwicker has been headlined throughout the censure hearings and was one of the fuses which set off the McCarthy- army dis'pute and the recent hearings on that controversy. William. J. Harding of New York City told the censure hearings last week he was a spectactor at the February hearing by McCarthy into the Peress case. Harding swore that during an open morn ing session, he heard Zwicker mutter that the senator was an 'S.

O. Asked about this today, as the committee began what may be its final day of public hearings, Zwicker said that after hearing Harding's testimony "I searched my memory carefully and I have no recollection of making any such remark." Before Zwicker took the witness chair, an army medical officer, Capt. William J. Woodward, testified that during the February hearing he heard McCarthy say in an aside that Zwicker was the "first Fifth Amendment general we've had before us." ZWICKER WAS the commanding general at Camp, Kilmer, N. where Peress received his discharge.

McCarthy has protested vigorously that Peress was promoted and given an honorable discharge although Peress had refused to sign army loyalty papers.

-COMMUMSTS- Formosa Will Be Defended, Dulles Vows Goal At Home Is To Destroy Party By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH DENVER. of State Dulles fresh from global strategy conferences with President Eisenhower and the National Security American military will thwart any Chinese Communist assault against Nationalist Formosa. And FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover and Atty.

Gen. Brownell say that so far as the Red threat on the home front is concerned, the administration's goal is to "utterly destroy the Communist party" in the United States. THEY REPORTED a new drive toward that objective is well un-' der way and that some by a new law granting immunity from prosecution have been going to the FBI to tell about the activities of fellow conspirators. Dulles, Hoover and Brownell made those statements at news conferences at the summer White House yesterday after conferring with the president. Then Eisenhower, Dulles, Vice President Nixon and other members of the National Security Council met for three hours in extraordinary session for top secret discussion of the Communist menacfri abroad particularly in the Far East.

Dulles hinted in advance of that meeting that tfie council might reach a decision as to precise U. S. policy on the question of whether American defense of the Nationalist island of Quemoy is essential to effective defense of Formosa. Dulles told newsmen that "in' the first instance 1 that is-a question for America's military chiefs to decide. He added that Eisenhower and the other non-military members of the security council would study the advice of the armed forces leaders, but would not necessarily follow it.

ADM. ARTHUR W. RADFORD, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the military member of the council and he was on hand for yesterday's first ever held outside Washington. But what he recommended with respect to Quemoy and what the council decided remained a deep secret when the members headed back to Washington by plane last night. The U.

S. 7th fleet is under longstanding orders to protect Formosa, the island bastion of the Chinese Nationalists, from any assault by the Chinese Reds. The big unanswered question has still those orders also call for defense of Quemoy, which has been under shellfire attack from the Red mainland. Dulles, who flew here from the Far East yesterday, repeatedly declined to say categorically just what orders the 7th fleet may have received, or will receive, in con- nection with Quemoy. "THAT OBVIOUSLY would not be in the national interest," the secretary.declared.

He did add: "I think that the question of the defense of Quemoy is primarily a matter related to the defense of Formosa, and it is being considered and studied in that light." His assertion that American military might can turn back any Red Chinese assault otr Formosa came (See 12) REWEAVING Cigaret burns moth holes re-, paired reasonably. Dial 2-4535.
