Philippines Menaced
As Typhoon Switches
BY the Associated Press

MANILA. Dec. 15.-A typhoon
which ripped path of death and
destruction through the central
Philippines last Monday whipped
itself into furious storm again
as it headed back for the islands
tonight after apparently losing its
violence in the China Sea.
Typhoon warnings were hoisted
on Palawan and Mindoro Islands
in the west central Philippines as
delayed reports from the area
devastated Monday boosted the
death toll to 800.
On volcanic Camiguin Island
search teams today uncovered
another 81 bodies, raising to 476
the number of persons killed in
the eruption of Hibok volcano.
Hibok Hibok was relatively quiet
today, but there were rumors that
a nearby crater was showing signs
of erupting for the first time in
about 100 years. The unconfirmed
reports said Mount Timboong
might blow its top as Hibok Hibok
did December 4.
The weather bureau here said
the typhoon which once appeared
to be breaking up now has winds
of lis miles an hour at the CEN
ter and is moving slowly toward
the Philippines. The storm has
changed course so often and SO
that experts are having
trouble charting its path.

Soviet Bloc Willing
To Reopen Private
Big Four Par|eys
BY the Assoeioied Press

PARIS. Dec. 15.-A Soviet bloc
spokesman today called for the
Ireopening of private Big Four
disarmament talks.
Poland's Stefan Wierblowski
told the United Nations Political
Committee that, since the secret
talks last week between Russia
and the Western powers had led
to some agreement, efforts for
further accord should be con-
tinued.
Syria's Faris Ell Khouri in
formally suggested yesterday that
the talks be resumed. Egypt's
ABLY Andraos Bey also indorsed
the idea.
First Soviet Bloc Reaction.
Without specifically rejecting
the idea of new Big Four talks.
United States Ambassador Philip
c. JeSsup said: The Western DOW
ers were also trying to broaden
the idea of agreement "and we
think that the new disarmament
commission is the proper forum Of
the process"
Mr., Wierblowski's was the first
Soviet bloc reaction to the revised
Western disarmament resolution
which Mr., Jessup formally pre-
sented yesterday.
The new resolution attempted
to make concessions to certain
Russian points of view which were
clarified in last weeks secret Big
Four talks.
The Polish delegate said the
new resolution was, fundamen-
tally, no more satisfactory than
the previous one because it does
not call for immediate and un-
conditional prohibition of atomic
weapons.
| Vishinsky's GOOD Will" Cited.
The West contends that dis
armament must be gradual, closely
supervised throughout and cul-
minating in prohibition OF the
atomic bomb. Russia demands an
immediate ban on the bomb and
one-third reduction in armed
forces by the major powers.
Because of the good will Of the
Soviet Delegate" Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky, Wierblowski said, some small
success resulted from the talks.
Therefore, he felt the four powers
might continue their work.
Observers felt Mr.. Wierblowski's
suggestion unquestionably had Mr..
Vishinsky's backing or it would
