PENSACOLA, Fla. (P)-Fright- ened residents boarded up homes and business buildings along Flor ida's vulnerable west coast before an advancing hurricane, and Gov. Willard CaldWell's office announc- ed that President Truman had de- clared a state of emergency in Florida.
 The announcement came a few hours after the weather bureau disclosed that the treacherous tropical storm had curved sharp ly after inflicting multi-million dollar damage upon southern Flo rida, and was headed back toward the mainland from the Gulf of Mexico.
 Wednesday, the unpredictable, uncomfortable monster ripped a path of destruction across Florida's most famous playground and farming section. It roared inland with l20-mile winds between Mi ami and Palm Beach, and emer- ged into the Gulf near Fort Myers with y-diminished velocity.

Cuerrillas Defy  "Tyrants''

ATHENS, (PO - Governm n planes today scattered leaflets over northern Greece offering pardon to Guerrillas who surren- dered within 30 days, but guer- rilla radio station ridiculed the amnesty offer.
 It was officially reported in Athens that guerrilla leaders were taking ruthless measures to pre- vent members of their leftist groups from giving up.
 The guerrilla broadcast said the new liberal Premier, Themistak les Sophoulis, was continuing the work of the Germans and of John Rallis, a puppet Premier during the occupation, and declared:
 Democratic Greece's reply to the Anglo-American tyrants and to their contractor Sophoulis, is that she will not surrender her arms and is calling on them to come and take them"
 Meanwhile, 1,400 political de- portees released by the govern ment from concentration camps on the island of Ikaria arrived today at Piraeus, the port of Athens, and were set free. Six hundred others are expected to arrive soon. Since the Sophoulis cabinet took office, approximately 4,00O deportees have been released.
 The amnesty leaflets are in line with a law passed by parliament last Saturday at the request of Sophoulis. Planes began the dis tribution Wednesday and are to continue it through next week.

France And Italy Want Over Billion

WASHINGTON, LP)-The pos Sible cost of "stop-gap' financial aid to western Europe became clearer today with the disclosure that France and Italy together want nearly $l,lOO,OOO,OOO during the next six months.
 Government officials who dis closed this said the French tenta- lively estimate their dollar re- quirements at approximately seven hundred million during the period but double the Italian figure.
 Both of these countries have fur nished financial reports to the state department to help the ad miniStration determine how much emergency aid may be needed be- fore the long-range Marshall plan can be put into effect.
 The department currently is screening the French and Italian figures to determine whether and by how much they can be trim med.
 Top policy framers met until nearly midnight last night for the third time this week, presumably in an effort to reach some conclu- sion that can be presented to Pres ident Truman when he returns from his South American visit to- morrow.

Sen. Capehart Will Try To Repeal Jones Act
By Charles D. Watkins)

(P) Special Washington Service
 WASHINGTON, CPp - Senator Capehart R.-IndJ said yesterday he intends to introduce legislation to repeal the Jones Act and there by permit foreign vessels to en- gage in intercoastal trade in Alas ka.
 Back from investigating Alas kan prospects for newsprint pro duction and from holding hearings on proposed airpOrts at Anchor age and Fairbanks, Capehart told a reporter:
 T am in favor of doing all we can to help American shipping but not at the expense of the Amari- can people.
 The present steamship service to Alaska is poor and if it is not improved the government should provide the service required.
 If private interests won't give the needed service, the govern ment should"
 The Jones act prohibits foreign vessels from engaging in inter coastal trade between American ports and it's repeal would enable Canadian vessels to furnish serv- ice between Alaskan ports.
 Capehart said he was astonished at the immensity of Alaska.
 Tt is big, wide deep and high" the Senator said
 II think the government should build roads to Alaska, even if they go through Canada.
 'It can be done and the Terri tory is entitled to an adequate transportation system"
 The Senator said he favored statehood for the Territory and asserted the people of the Terri tory want it but that vested in- terestS' oppose. He said it should be granted from the standpoint of national interest.
 Il think it is high time we do what should have been done long ago." Capehart said.
 All of the resources of the Ter ritory have been taken out of Alaska and nothing returned.
 "We should see to it now that part of the national resources of the Territory go for the benefit of its people,"
