Typhoon Lashes Most Of HOnshu

TOKYO, (P)-Ten central Hon. shu prefectures were lashed by a typhoon last night as winds up to 60 miles an hour dipped west of metropolitan Tokyo.
 At least two were dead, three in jured and 23 missing in the 10 prefectures, early reports indicat- ed.
 Torrential rains deluged sections north and west of Tokyo sending rivers on rampages. Thousands of Japanese fled as rivers threatened to engulf their homes.
 Fears were expressed for the ripening rice crops.
 Residents of Shimizu, 80 miles south of here, cringed with terror as four storm loosened Japanese vessels were tossed about the har- bor where the American freighter, Governor Bibbs, was trapped as it loaded explosive ammonium nj trate, the type of cargo that wreck ed Texas City last year.
 The center of the storm passed west of the city at 8:30 pm.

Boring Sea Holds Large Food Fish POtentialities

PORTLAND, Ore, (E) - The Boring Sea, the central Pacific and the waters off Alaska could pro- vide enormous amounts of fish for nations running short of land-pro- duced protein, Dr. John C. Marr, U. s. Fisheries expert at Stanfard university, reported yesterday.
 The Alaska-Bering Sea area of fers the greatest possibilities for fishery expansion adjacent to North America and probably is the most promising production area of the entire Pacific, pr. Marr told the American chemical soci- ety.
 Oceania, which is the area from the Equator to Hawaii and from the Society Islands to New Guinea and the Philippines, is another area of great potential fish re- sources Dr. Marr said.
 Up to now the North Pacific has produced 47 per cent of the worlds fishery products and the South Pa cific only one per cent of the total, Dr. Marr reported. This does not mean the southern ocean is a poor CT fishing ground. It reflects the fact that many more people live in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere, he said.
 Foremost among the possibilities for increasing the food supply, Dr. Marr reported, is the potential supply of tuna.
 The present sardine season has been no more encouraging than the preceding one, with its record low catch, Dr. Marr reported. There had not been an outstanding sardine year since 1889, he added.

 "The main thing you need for Arctic operations" Kenncy said, "is just about twice as many peo- pie because a mans efficiency there is just about half of normal"
 This was demonstrated, he said, by the exhaustive studies, tests and training during which super fortress crews in Alaska actually flew more hours than groups in the United States.
 Failure of equipment in the Arc. tic training, however, was pared down until it was no greater thar it was for bombers operating over the deserts of the southwestern United States.
 Kenney had no comment on the status of the polar bastion's other air defense - fighter protection, warning networks, anti-aircraft and garrisons-except to say that ''the situation has improved slight ly."
 The air force however has dis closed that operation of jet fight CTS in the far north is getting close attention. A sqadron of ESQ fight CTS went to Alaska from March Field, Calif., last December for six months of training and test flights.

 Their vessel, the fishing tender Caledonia, split her bow during a three-day storm a week ago last Sunday and the crew ran her ashore on Icy Point, 100 miles west of Juneau.
 The coast guardsmen joined De- win and eight crew members from the Caledonia on the beach when a rubber life raft in which they were making . rescue attempt was swamped by surf 12 to IS feet high.

SEATTLE, (R- Seagull meat, broiled over roaring drift wood fire, is not bad eating-when you are very, very, very hungry.
 So says Kern Devin, 19, of Seat tie, nephew of Mayor William F. Devin, who was shipwrecked on an isolated Alaskan beach.

U. N. To Look Into .Hyderabad Invasion

PARIS (P)-The United Nations security council voted 8 to 0 yes- terday to look into the war situa- tion in Hyderabad. China, Soviet Russia and the Ukraine abstained in the vote placing the Indian in- vasion of the princely state on the agenda.
 The council met in the Palais de Chaillot.
 Hyderabod is seeking a cease fire order, withdrawal of Indian troops and mediation by the U. N.
 Sir A. Ramaswami Mudaliar, representing India, told the press his country contends "This is strictly domestic affair" and is outside the province of the council because Hyderabad is not a sov- ereign state.
