KING ISLANDERS LEAVE FOR HOME VIA NORTH STAR

The King Island natives are pre- pairing to leave today for their tiny isolated island home about 100 miles northwest of Nome. They will be transported on the MS North Star of the Alaska Native Service and should arrive at the island on Thursday tomorrow.
 The Islanders are closing their summer camp and buying last minute necessities for the coming winter as has been their custom for past generations.
 Three families will remain in Nome for the winter, partially be- cause of the need for medical care, and also. they report, the island is just too crowded for all of them, some 250 persons in all.
 Father Tom Cunningham, the island pastor, is scheduled to go to the island at later date.

Hurricane Hits Florida Keys; Much Damage Done

NOOntlnueu rom Hd2e OAe' in the lower part of the peninsula. Schools were closed in Miami and Fort Lauderdale counties. The hurricane, born in the Car ibbean almost due south of Grand Cayman Island, headed east and then slightly north before it sWer- Ved toward land. It crossed the Isle of Pines, causing heavy dam age to orange groves, but appar- ently no loss of life.
 ] Then it sWirled across western Cuba, the center apparently pass 1 ing some 30 miles to the east of i Havana.
 The fishing port of Ba.abana was isolated. Communicat ions with the port town of 1000 were down and it was difficult to get re- ports of damage there.
 In Havana about 10000 persons were reported to have left their dwellings and sought shelter in more substantial quarters.
 Crowds milled the streets of Havana despite 60-mile an hour winds, and police ordered a 12- hour curfew beginning at o'clock Monday night. One man died of heart seizure as the hurricane neared the city.
 Highest wind velocity in Havana was 86 miles per hour the national observatory reported. There was some crop damage on the island.
 The British freighter Lochmo- mar, with 73 persons aboard, re- mained aground on Little Cayman Island, where it was battered by heavy seas. The tug Curb was standing by to begin salvage op- erations when the weather moder- ates. The tug Pandora was en- roue e from San Juan to aid the stricken 9,000-ton vessel. It was 1 due to reach the scene Thursday.
 MIAMI, Fla. (P)-A drenching hurricane with its 100-mile-an- hour winds still intact, moved over Lake Okeechobee in south central Florida today and aimed for the states rich citrus belt. Two persons have died and many have suffered minor injur- ies in the big storm which blasted the Florida Keys with 16O mile gusts early yesterday and bounced on Miami last night.
 Heavy gales and rain still bat tered the Keys and Miami today.
 Damage to Miami was limited to uprooted palm trees, broken power lines, smashed windows and bill boards. Streets were flooded by torrential rains. Transportation was disrupted, schools remained closed and business suspended
 Miami Beach reported some windows blown in, trees uprooted or snapped off by the gusty, twist ing winds, and aluminium shutters torn off. A wall of a nigrt club, | being rebuilt, was flattened
 Rough water undermined a span of the Macarthur causeway con- meeting Miami and Miami Beach and the bridge was closed to traf- fife.
 Reports of damage trickled in.

politics Is oppoTtunism. like OPP
portunism on the right side. The
order will only partially be car

ciple Of segregation itself. wholly
and specifically. And segregation
wherever il occurs Is the key TO
the bias problem, the heart Of Jim
Crow. But the Presidents order
will push the segregation line
down from the company TO the
platoon in the army. We can, with
more pressure, push II from the
platoon TO the squad. and finally
push II out OF existence. Only then
will the Presidents hands be
wholly clean-and our hands as
well.
President Truman has gone far
enough TO start n new war Of the
secession. Governor Thurmond Is
trying bravely TO keep the war
squarely on the issue Of states
rights. and TO keep his cause from
becoming wholly the case Of
Southern racism, racketeerinR and
reaction. He will not succeed. For
when a movement Is born in hate
and intolerance, Il gets out Of the
hands Of whatever tolerant lead
ers may try TO hold IL back.
