(AP) Hurricane Ginger pounded the North Carolina coast today with 90-mile-anhour winds, knocking out electric and telephone service, smashing windows and toppling rides at an amusement park at Atlantic Beach. The National Weather Service said Ginger, which stalled in the Atlantic for three weeks before heading for land, was one of the largest and oldest hurricanes on record.

Paul M. Cox of New Bern, Civil Defense director for Craven County, said, "I've been here since 1936 and this is the largest storm we've had since '36." The storm's 70-mile-an-hour eye was 20 miles east of Morehead City at 10 a.m., but gusts of up to 90 miles an hour were recorded. The weather service said the center of the storm probably would hit land later in he day. As Ginger moved in, winds from her western edge pounded the coast, knocking down utility lines, uprooting trees and capsizing mobile homes. High tides and heavy rains flooded low-lying areas and blocked some streets and highways.

No injuries were reported. Red Cross Sanctuaries Many coastal and island residents evacuated the area. The Red Cross estimated that 1,800 persons took refuge in Red Cross shelters set up in schools, churches and National Guard (Continued on page 2, BURGLARY AT CAMP State Police have received report of a camp burglary in the Hutchins area where numerous small items were taken between Aug. 29 and Sept. 29.

Connally said today the United States will be prepared to remove its 10 per cent import surcharge if other governments "make tangible progress" in coming weeks to dismantle their trade barriers and permit the establishment of realistic currency exchange rates. But Conally's address to the annual meeting of the 118-nation International Monetary Fund discouraged proposals from the major trading nations that the American dollar be devalued directly in terms of gold.

By CARL HARTMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) A plan that would delay a rise in the official U.S. price of gold emerged today from a proposal by Dutch Finance Minister R.J. Nelissen. Nelissen wants a new, lower value set for the dollar In terms of the average price it brings against other major currencies in the open market. The price of the dollar has dropped about 10 per cent in terms of the West German mark since the mark began floating on the open market in May.

The Dutch proposal was designed as a compromise. But a White House spokesman said Wednesday there has been no change in the U.S. policy against devaluing the dollar by raising the official price of gold above $35 an ounce. Shortly afterwards, Karl Klasen, head West German Federal Bank predicted the United States soon would raise the price of gold. "They will not protest very long," he told a news conference at the annual meeting of 118 countries in the International Monetary fund.

At a reception for IMF delegates President Nixon said nothing directly about gold or devaluation. He only predicted the "kind of discussion in which all sides bargain hard in their own interest." A spokesman for the Treasury Department was more pointed: "I don't know that Mr. Klasen is a member of the U.S. delegation," he said. Nelissen told the IMF: "I feel that, as a temporary expedient, all floating currencies, including the dollar, should be valued on the basis of their effective appreciation or depreciation in the exchange markets." It had been thought that the only way to devalue the dollar was to raise the price of gold.

An authoritative source said the Dutch government, too, oelieves this must be done later-although unlike many others it has refrained from saying 50 publicly. For the present, Nelissen's proposal would allow the IMF to resume operations. These have been seriously curtailed since Nixon announced on Aug. 15 that the United States would no longer pay out gold for dol- lars. New Par Values? The Dutch compromise also would open the way for agree: ment on a set of new par values for the world's major currencies.

These would be valid until the big financial powers could agree on a new long-term system to replace the gold-dollar standard in effect since 1944. At the same time this provisional set of par values is oroclaimed, Nelissen said, the United States should remove its surcharge on imports. The new par values would be expected to make foreign goods more expensive in the United States, thus serving the same purpose as the surcharge in improving the U.S. balance of international payments. First U.S.

reactions to Nelissen's ideas were cool. Jewish Service Held Near U.N. NEW YORK (A) Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the most sacred day on the Jewish calendar, was marked here Wednesday by a prayer service outside the United Nations, for Jews in the Soviet Union. The service was conducted across from the United Nations at a tall, gray wall known as the Isaiah Wall because a quotation from the Book of Isaiah is inscribed on it. "I am free but they are slaves," said Mikhail Zand, who was allowed to leave Moscow last June.

"I cannot rest until they are also free." Similar services for Jews in othe.

While the troops were being landed north of this forward base, enemy gunners fired seven 100-pound rockets at the headquarters of Lt. Gen.

Nguyen Xuan Thinh, the field commander, a nearby helicopter pad. The rockets fell short landed in a refugee village outand side the base, smashing a cluster of a half dozen shanty houses and shops, a Roman Catholic church and the market place. Six refugees from North Vietnam were killed, including two children, and about a dozen were wounded. Thinh had just taken off in his helicopter to inspect field positions when the rockets landed. There are often three or four U.S.

generals moving in and out of Thinh's headquarters, but at the time of the attack, only one was there. U.S. rocket-firing gunships left the pad and attacked the rocket launching sites believed to be about two miles from the base. Thinh said earlier that "many outposts" along a 36- mile stretch of Highways 22, 78 and 7-that run from Tay Ninh north to the Cambodian rubber plantation town. of Krek-were shelled by North Vietnamese gunners overnight, and ground attacks were launched against two bases.

He said, however, "there are indications the enemy has decreased the momentum of its offensive." In Saigon, South Vietnamese headquarters reported 14 rocket and mortar attacks Wednesday and today against South Vietnamese positions along the stretch roughly 60 to 90 miles northwest of Saigon. Informants said 15 South Vietnamese soldiers were wounded. Thinh said the two besieged fire bases, Tran Hung Dao, 011 the Vietnamese side of the border 18 miles north of Tay Ninh, and Alpha, three miles east of Krek, were cut off but were being supplied by helicopters. U.S. B52 bombers dropped tons of explosives on North Vietnamese positions within a half mile of Alpha.

Thinh said a battalion of North Vietnamese troops attacked Alpha on Wednesday night but were driven back. Five South Vietnamese soldiers were wounded, initial reports said, while enemy losses were not known. BRADFORD MARINE IS SENTENCED IN WASH.

CALL UP 12,000 MEN BY END OF THE YEAR (BULLETIN) WASHINGTON (P) Setting a pattern for the future, the Pentagon issued today a quarterly draft call of 10,000 men for the remainder of the year. In announcing the call the first in three months--a Pentagon spokesman said Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird hopes to make future draft announcements on a quarterly basis rather than month-tomonth as has been past practice.

By ROBERT A. DOBKIN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Resumption of the draft with an expected call today of up to 000 men for the remaining three months of the year may set a pattern for quarterly calls in the future. Pentagon officials say Secreof Defense Melvin R. Laird hopes to do away with the traditional monthly draft call, favoring instead announcements every three months. Laird, who spearheaded the administration's drive to institute a national lottery last year, contends quarterly calis would give longer notice and further reduce uncertainty for 19-year-olds over their chances in the draft.

Pentagon spokesman Jerry W. Friedheim told newsmen Wednesday the new call of about 12,000 will cover inductions for October, November and December and bring the total number of men drafted in 1971 to under 100,000. The last time inductions feil below 100,000 was in 1962 when 76,500 were called. Draft calls in the first six months of this year totaled 88,000. A call of 16,000 was issued for July and August but this was forgotten when conscription authority died with the old draft law June 30.

A bill renewing the draft for two years was signed Tuesday by President Nixon. The administration hopes to end draft calls and field an all-volunteer force by mid-1973. Under the new call, actual inductions are not expected to begin until about mid-October. Selective Service is required by law to give a man at lease 10 days' notice before he must report. Grads, Dropouts First Men with low draft numbers who have lost their deferments primarily students graduated from college in June, or dropouts- are expected to be the first called.

Selective Service officials have said nearly every qualified man with lottery no. 125 or lower will be called. It is possible men with numbers as high as 140 also may get notices. Although the draft lapsed for three months, the Selective Service machinery was kept tact and men were called for preinduction physicals. Kidnapers Free Mexican Official MEXICO CITY (P) -Mexico's federal aviation director says he was the victim of a political kidnaping and that his abductors threatened "they would have to kill me" unless $240,000 ransom was paid.

Julio Hirschfeld Alamada, a 52-year-old industrialist, was freed Wednesday night after his family handed over the ransom money. He had been held captive almost 60 hours since his abduction Monday morning. Doctors said he was in good health after the ordeal. An hour after he regained his freedom Hirschfeld met with President Luis Echeverria in the presidential residence. After the meeting Hirschfeld told newsmen that three, men and a woman kidnaped him a few blocks from his home as he was on his way to his office.

Hirschfeld said his abductors never identified themselves as members of an underground political group, but that "obviously it was a political kidnaping." He was kept in a dark, "very humble" room, and his captors gave him books to read to pass the time, he said. Hirschfeld said police believe they have some leads and have started to look for the kidnapers.

ASSOCIATED PRESS for the East and Gulf Coast the bituminous coal mine operarailroads today faced the possistrikes. At least one walkout was The AFL-CIO International Longshoremen's Association was deadlocked with New York shipping firms in a dispute over extending a guaranteed annual wage provision of an expiring contract.

West Coast ports have beer: closed since July by the striking International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union. If the ILA goes out every deep water port in the country would he closed to dry cargo shipments. Coal Talks Deadlocked In Washington talks covering 80,000 coal miners moved toward a midnight contract expiration deadline with no sign of a settlement. Sources said it appeared virtually impossible to write a formal contract between the United Mine Workers and the Bituminous Coal Operators Association before the deadline.

The union is seeking to boost top wages to $50 a day from $37 and win other benefits. With the miners' tradition of "no contract, no work," even a general memorandum of understanding probably would not prevent walkouts in some of the 20 coal-producing states, the sources said. Also in Washington are the negotiations between the nation's railroads and the member AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen, who precipitated a two-day nationwide rail strike last May. President Nixon's strike ban which ended the walkout expires at midnight but a source said Wednesday 10 new action was considered likely by the union while talks continued. Signalmen's hourly wages went from $3.78 to $4.29 retroactive to Jan.

PARIS (AP) President Nixon's new Vietnam peace negotiator bluntly told Hanoi and the Viet Cong today they wore in no position to dictate peace terms to the United States.

Referring to Communist demands for an unconditional American withdrawal from South Vietnam, Ambassador William J. Porter declared: "You apparently overlook the fact that your military position is unimpressive. One needs only to keep in mind that. of the 300 or so district and province capitals of South Vietnam, you do not hold a single one after these many years of war, and your best military efforts. "You are, in fact, further from military victory than ever.

In such circumstances, your use of peremptory language seems rather pretentious. Perhaps the use of such language is intended to conceal your lack of authority and military success in South Vietnam, but I would suggest that you keep in mind that your negotiating proposals would be much more effective if they reflected a greater sense of realism on your part." Porter, who took over early in August as head of the U.S. delegation, was addressing the 130th session of the deadlocked negotiations. He renewed an American plea for "civilized treatment" for American prisoners held by Hanoi and said this should be treated as a separate subject from political and military matters. The Communist negotiators invariably link the prisoner issue with the other aspects of a settlement.

Old Testament Quoted The Viet Cong's acting peace negotiator, Dinh Ba Thi, quoted from the Old Testament to warn President Nixon of the consequences of keeping President Nguyen Van Thieu in power in Saigon. "For he who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind," said Thi. It was a paraphrase from the Book of Hosea. Thi said. Thieu was resorting to "Fascist brutality" in his suppression of protests against South Vietnam's one-man presidential election, and asserted that Nixon bore the ultimate responsibility for using Thieu as "an instrument of American oppression." Thi was substituting for the Viet Cong foreign minister, Mrs.

Nguyen Thi Binh, who is in Vietnam for consultation with the Viet Cong leadership. List Allocations for County Fire Units The Kane Volunteer Firemens Relief Fund will receive 12 and Mt.
