Flossy Leaves
13 Dead and Much
Property Damage
Hurricane Flossy, downgraded
to storm status with half of its
punch gone, swirled into the At
lantic today off the South Caro
lina coast.
The season’s sixth tropical
storm left 13 deijd and at least
that many missing, plus property
damage in the gulf states esti
mated at several million dollars.
The Miami weather bureau said
the storm would regain some of
its force after reaching the ocean
north of Charleston, but probably
not enough to get back into the
hurricane class.
Flossy formed suddenly in the
gulf Saturday, aimed its center
for a time at populous New Or
leans, then swerved eastward and
slammed the northwest Florida
coast with 100 - mile - an - hour
winds late Monday.
The storm’s northeasterly jour
ney brought drought relief to
Georgia before skipping out over
the Atlantic. More than five inch
es of rain were dumped on
parched farm lands.
The oysters which are most
likely to contain pearl's are those
' with shells that are irregular in
shape, stunted, honeycombed by
boring parasites, or covered with
abnormal growths.
Sixty Antarctic
Stations May Find
‘Missing Link’
Weather May Be Told
Six Months Ahead
WASHINGTON, lift—Sixty ant
arctic weather stations may pro
vide scientists with the “missing
link” to predict weather six
months in advance, Rear Adm.
George J. Dufek, antarctic expe
dition commander, said Monday.
The temporary weather stations
will be set up, he said, as part of
the International Geophysical
Year—a period of scientific prob
ing of the world by many nations.
Adm. Dufek, 53, in charge of
U.S. task forces for antarctic Op
eration Deepfreeze, is making his
fourth trip to the frozen continent,
12,000 miles away.
He said the United States, co
operating with other nations, has
been given the job of being ant
arctic “weather central,” prepar
ing a daily weather map “for the
first time in the history of the
antarctic.”
Meteorologists say “that when
this missing link of the antarctic
is fitted into the world weather
pattern that they will be able to
predict the weather as much as
six months ahead of time more
accurately than it's predicted
now,” Dufek said.
The admiral related plans for
the second phase of U.S. Opera
tion Deepfreeze—a four-year ex
pedition in the antarctic—during
a transcribed radio interview.
The United States plans to set
up five more bases, for a total of
seven at Little America, bringing
about 3,400 Americans to Antarc
tica, Adm. Dufek said.

LIBERACE GETS
LOUD WELCOME
IN LONDON
By EDDIE GILMORE
LONDON, OR—Liberace arrived
in London yesterday on a special
train and got a shrill welcome.
“I understand that you’ve had
a rather unpleasant summer—
perhaps we will bring a little sun
shine to England,” the pianist
said.
"Wheeeee—” screamed a crowd
at Waterloo Station. “He’s love
ly,” screeched one young girl
brandishing a bouquet of artifi
cial roses.
“You are wonderful,” Liberace
began. He was interrupted by
boos from a group of men carry
ing a sign that read:
“We hate Liberace—Charlie
Kunz forever.”
Charlie Kunz is an over-50
British pianist whose jazz has
been admired by two or three
generations of English debutantes.
Station Foreman Frank Fownes
said the welcome was on a scale
which the British give to royalty.
“There’s a subtle difference,
tho,” he explained. “Liberace’s
got no red carpet furnished by
British railways, and there’s no
potted palms, either.”
Nearly 50 policemen struggled
to keep the crowd behind bar
riers.
Liberace has been a great tele
vision favorite here—on film. He
begins a concert tour next week.
Nickels and pennies are legal
tender only to an amount not ex
ceeding 25 cents, according to I
ceeding 25 cents. Silver coins be-1
low the denomination of a dollar
are legal tender up to ten dollars.
