fireworks firm, arranged late
Saturday night to have an
armored truck driven into the
factory area to bring out 35
tons of dynamite threatened
by the fire.
But it was decided later to
abandon that plan and let the
fire burn itself out.
The dynamite was housed In
a concrete building designed to
be explosion-proof. The fire
burned around the structure
but apparently did not bother
the dynamite inside.
Bellaire Fire Chief Charles
Jewell said at about 1918 pm,
THE danger has passed. We
are standing by to move in
our water tankers and 60 to
work on the fire"
The firm sells dynamite in
addition to fireworks.
The dynamite was stored in
a shed on the company prop
erty and was threatened as the
fire spread from one building
to another.
The 100-acre company
grounds are covered with about
20 sheds placed about 100 feet
apart, to guard against total
loss in the event Of a fire.
800 Homes Evacuated
All firemen had been eyacu-
ated from the area. An esti-
mated 100 fire engines and
ambulances were backed up to
points about one mile away in
all directions.
About 300 homes in the i'm
mediate vicinity also were evac-
uated
The firm was just finishing
work on a $3.S million Govern
ment contract for practice
hand grenades for the United
States Army.
The explosion released a
shower of hot Goals and fire

Colleges miles away-said a
gaily-colored toy parachute and
American flag floated down on
the campus a few minutes after

Don't you think Peru has be-

What a striking contrast with
Just six months ago. Then
Peru was the par1ah of the
hemisphere. In July, 1862, a
junta had depoSed the
constitutional government,
frustrated national elections,
closed the Congress, and set UP
an all-military government.
U. S. Broke Off
The United States immedi-
ately suspended diplomatic re-
lations, and economic and
military aid. In the modern red
tile embassy diplomats and aid
officials looked at their can
celled plans and despaired for
the future. OF all the countries
in Latin America, Peru seemed
to cry out the most for drastic
reform.

Arms Obligations
BY JOHN WEYLAND
Associated Press staff Writer

BONN, Germany, Oct. 26.-
The United States is getting
increasingly impatient with its
European allies for criticizing
United States military policies
while refusing to meet their
own Atlantic Alliance commit
United States sources
said today.
Secretary Of State Rusk. in
Bonn for two days, had to re-
assure West German leaders
about the continued presence
Of United States troops in Eu-
rope. There have been fears
that Operation Big Lift"
would be used as a prelude to
a partial withdrawal.
Reinsurance Awaited
Mr.. Rusk's talks here did not
produce an official West Ger
man statement that these fears
have been entirely dispelled.
The government is understood
to be waiting for further re-
assurances. Mr.. Rusk is ex-
pected to give these in q public
speech tomorrow in Frankfurt.
West Germany. like other
European members of the At
lantic alliance, has failed TO
meet its own NATO military
obligations. These are being
fulfilled only by the United
States.
The United States sources
described an increasingly tough
attitude on the part of the
Kennedy administration toward
such examples Of a double
standard" They said that con-
Germ is mounting in the United
States over the standard being
frequently applied not only tc
military matters but to United
States policy in general.
They likened the Atlantic
alliance to a 2o-mule team and
said only one mule has been
pulling while the others rode.
1t was time, they said. for the
other mules to get out and
help.

KATHMANDU, Nepal.-The

Himalayan highway through
northern Nepal-the first mod

This highway - ironically
agreed upon by Nepal's King

Not in Moon Race
Khrushchev Claims
Bars U.S..
Wheat Deal
Conditions

MOSCOW, Oct. % CAP-
Premier Khrushchev said to-
day the Soviet Union is not. at
present. in the race to be first
with a man on the moon and
wished the United States good
luck in its attempt to do it by
1870.
He also said the Kremlin
would halt negotiations to buy
American wheat II the United
States put what he called dis
criminatory conditions" on the
sale.
The Premier admitted, how
ever, that the Soviet Union was,
in grave agricultural difficult
ties and some observers saw a
link between this and what ap-
peared to be a cut-back In khe
Soviet space program.
"Win Study Experiences"
OF the American moon pro-,
gram, he said we will study
their experiences"
But his remarks published
by the government newspaper
IzveStia-did not Indicate the
Soviet Union has thrown In
the cosmic towel.
1T would be very interest,"
ing to make a flight to the
MOON" Mr.. Khrushchev said,
but now / cannot say when
it VIII be possible to achieve
this.
AT the present time we are
not planning flights of cosmo-
nauts to the moon. Soviet SCI
entists are working on this
problem. They are studying 1t
precisely as q scientific prob
lem and they are conducting
the necessary research"
Mr.. Khrushchev's remarks
were made to a group Of Asian,
African. Latin-American and.
Soviet journalists who recently
ATTENDED a Moscow-sponsored
press rally in Algiers. He re-
leeived them in the Kremlin
Friday, but his replies to their
questions were not released for
: publication until Saturday
night.
How Topic Came Up
He spoke Of the moon race
after being specifically asked
when the Soviet Union might
land q man on the moon.
Mr.. Khrushchev began by
claiming he didn't know when
this might be possible. Then
he said:

Americans want to land a man
on the moon by 1870. Well,
we wish them success. And we

come to moon and most of -.
all-how they take off (from
the noon and come back. We
will study their experience"
He added:
I'VE do not want to compete
in sending people to the moon
without careful preparation. It
is clear that such q competiG
ton would not be o help, but
on the contrary, a hindranc@
because this could lead to the.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Oct. Is

ny. the seasons seventh and
most erratic storm. swirled
around off the North Carolina
coast tonight in an area she
had occupied for hours.
An II pm. weather advisory
located the dangerous little
storm at about 155 miles south
of Cape Hatteras, near latitude
1870 north and longitude $50
She had moved forward very
little since 2 pm.
The advisory said very slow
movement, probably eastward
toward the open sea. was in
dicated during the night. High
est winds near the center were
estimated at IS miles per hour.
While the threat to the North
Carolina coast appeared to be
decreasing. residents Of the
stored Outer Banks area north
of here kept q watchful eye on
the capricious storm.
Gale warnings remained dis
played on the southeastern
North Carolina Coast from
Cape Fear to Manteo.
Had Halted Off Coast
Earlier today, Ginny came to
a halt about so miles southeast
Of Wilmington before gathering
speed and making a hairpin
turn toward the southeast. She
headed in that direction for a
few hours before turning back
to the northeast.
The turnabout was typical of
Ginny's erratic behavior since
she was labeled a hurricane off
the North Carolina Coast about
q week ago. Since then she
slipped southwark to the Flori-
da Coast and back.
Meanwhile, tropical storm
Helena was reported to be
weakening and at IL pm. the
Miami Weather Bureau said it
must now be classified as a
tropical depression" 1t was 10
Gated $50 miles southeast of
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The San Juan Weather
Bureau said winds of IS miles
an hour were located in a CEN
ter near latitude 1862 north,
longitude 63.1 west.
The Red Cross in Whining
ton reporte d that a survey
from Surf City south to the
South Carolina line, a distance
of about so miles, showed no
damage to beach property.
Return to Homes
About $50 persons from the
Wilmington area and 270 from
neighboring Brunswick County
returned to their homes in low
lying and beach areas today
after spending last night in
shelters.
Rain continued on the
Southeastern No nth Carolina
Coast today. with stations in
the area reporting a rainfall of
2 to 40 inches since it started
last night. Winds this after
noon were from is to 20 miles
an hour.
The Raleigh Weather Bu-
reau, in an attempt to analyze
Ginny's strange behavior, said
the hurricane h IA d remained
out of the clutches Of broad,
powerful atmospheric steering
currents and had been free to-
drift on her own.
The bureau said the hurri-
canes trip southwark to the
Florida Coast earlier in the
week was because it was
pressed on the north by cool
air from Canada that drifted
over New England.
As the high pressure area to
the north weakened, the Wealth
er Bureau said, the hurricane
drifted back to the north-a
natural movement for hurri-
canes.
