C. (AP) Hurricane Isbell, confounding the weather forecasters, turned the wrong way today and aimed rain, high tides and 100-miles winds toward the already-flood stricken Carolinas. The Weather Bureau predicted she would come inland between Morehead City and Georgetown, S.C., late this afternoon or early tonight. President Johnson already has declared some North Carolina counties as disaster areas because of flooding and storm damage. Isbell's coming meant more rain to Eastern North Carolina, where rivers have just begun to recede.

An advisory at 11 a.m. said the hurricane was packing winds up to 100 miles per hour near the center, with gale force winds xtending out 175 miles to the east and 80 miles to the west.

NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV Flood Area Faces New Threats Kinston, N. C. (AP) Hurricane Isbell poised a threat of new rain to flood devastated Eastern North Carolina today. The Weather Bureau said rain was expected over most of Hie Neuse River basin today and warned that heavy rains could result in some rise from present stages of the river. I At mid-morning Isbell, which had been expected to turn away fnM! land, turned instead to the aMi was aimed at the North I Carolina coast.

Widespread flooding, which began a week ago after torrential rains early last week, was continuing along the lower stretches of the Neuse today. At- Kinston, the river had fallen a foot below the crest it reached Monday night. Extensive flooding over the lower Neuse region will continue. The river is not expected to return within its banks before the end of next week. Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman, speaking in Kinston today at a First District Demo- Sec FLOOD en Page 8-A Hazel--the worst in North Carolina and South Carolina history --was expected to bring tides to two to five feet above normal from Charleston, S.

to the Virginia capes. Isbell made the sharp turn to the left after appearing to be headed out to open sea after crossing Florida, where she gave birth to tornadoes that injured 39 persons. At least six and possibly more tornadoes whipped out of the leading edge of the small but vicious storm, demolishing house trailers, unroofing homes and other buildings in several communities. The hurricane went out to sea after passing just north of Palm Beach, famed winter playground of the wealthy, leaving the city largely without electricity and its streets littered with debris. But Isbell brought nothing to Florida to compare with the devastation she left behind in Cuba, where four died, hundreds of homes were destroyed, thousands evacuated from flooded lowlands and crops ruined.

The worst of the tornadoes whirled out of the Atlantic and ripped through Boynton Beach, a coastal city of 14,000, destroying about 20 house trailers and injuring at least 22 persons. "It sounded like a freight train," said Mrs. L. S. Chadwell who with her husband and two sons-in-law watched in terror as the twister tugged the roof off their 54-year-old home.

"Everything turned dark and it hit us," Mrs. Chadwell said. "I screamed for them to fall on the floor when the roof started coming off." They were not injured. Seventeen persons were hurt at Eau Gallic when a tornado demolished a dozen house trailers, lifted the roof off a church during services and blew a house across a road. The twister ripped through the town of about 19,000 while the center of the hurricane was about 80 miles down the coast near Palm Beach.

"We were all sitting in the church listening to the preacher when the tornado hit," said a woman member of the congregation of the Glad Tidings Church of Eau Gallic. Part of the church's roof was blown away and its doors and windows were smashed, but the small congregation escaped without injury. Small twisters dipped also into Coral Galbes, a Miami suburb, Forest Hills Village, a Palm Beach suburb, Kobe Sound, a residential island north of Palm Beach, and Loxahatchee, south of Lake Okeechobee. After leaving Cuba, Isbell brushed Key West, southernmost city in the continental United States, then tore into the Everglades with winds up to 105 miles an hour. At Everglades City, on the southwestern tip of Florida, about 350 residents who refused to evacuate watched the storm from the second floor of the City Hall.

Some 200 others had left the tiny community, which was wrecked by Hurricane Donna in 1960, after being warned of possible 10-foot tides. In Cuba, Fidel Castro's faltering economy suffered another damaging blow as Isbell destroyed much of the rich tobacco crop and a number of the government's tobacco warehouses. Hazel Recalled Hurricane Isbell turned on the North Carolina coast today recalling in the minds of many people the visit of another storm, just 10 years ago today. Today marks the anniversary of Hurricane Hazel's smashing tour through North Carolina, the most destructive strom in the state's history. Hazel caused 19 deaths in North Carolina and caused damage in the scores of millions.

The Republican presidential nominee said Johnson's "great and good friend, Bobby Baker, has been exposed as a manipulator of high office," and the President's "name and office is linked with that of a convicted criminal, Billie Sol Estes." Goldwater swung into south Texas for a day of campaigning after two days before large, enthusiastic crowds as he moved back and forth across the Midwest farm belt and on to the edge cf the Rocky Mountains for a rally Wednesday night in Denver. In a speech prepared for his first Texas stop in Harlingen Goldwater returned to the attack on the Bobby Baker case -the issue he said hurts Johnson most. He paired this with the Billie Sol Estes affair. Estes, a Pecos, financier, has twice been convicted for fraud.

The Arizona senator said the President "must be using every power of his great office, right now, yesterday and tomorrow, to cover up one of the sorriest rumors we have had in the nation's capital." In response to a question before be delivered the speech, Goldwater said he meant rumors about Bobby Baker's ties with the wnite House. In his campaigning, Goldwater said he had found something troubling the people of America. He added: "The people have looked at the White House and have found it dark with scandal.

Johnson, appearing in Rochester and Buffalo before returning to New York for a Liberal party rally in Madison Square Garden tonight, showed no signs of the hoarseness that bothered him in oublic appearances Wednesday. However, he decided against delivering a prepared speech in Rochester in favor of making an informal stop there. In remarks he had prepared to deliver in Rochester, Johnson said "the No. 1 issue in the campaign is responsibility" and that it has "become a crusade See LBJ on Page 8-A A soft-spcken Texan who was an Army major in World War tionally and internationally can only be surmised at this time nation was announced.
