By the Associated Press

House investigators plan to
look into the continuing climb

tee.
She noted that large supplies
are on hand and that a record
harvest of cane and beet sugar

Flora Weaker, May Veer off
After Lashinq Haiti and Cuba

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. S CAP).-
Hurricane Flora began to
weaken today over the noun
tains Of Cuba and gave signs
Of turning southwestward back
into the Caribbean Sea. Hurri-
cane warnings were lowered in
the Bahama Islands.
This unexpected turn in
what forecasters called the
most unpredictable storm in
many q year also lessened the
danger to Florida.
At the National Hurricane
Center in Miami, chief fore
caster Gordon Dunn said 1t
remains very. very uncertain,
with the lack Of a definite
steering pattern, as to what
Flora viii do"
At Least 43 Dead
AT least 43 lives have been
claimed so far by Flora, most
savage hurricane to come out
of the tropical Atlantic in two
years.
DR.. Gerard Phileppeau, Hal
tan Minister Of Health, re-
ported today by telephone from
Port au Prince that Haiti vas
devastated by the hurricane.
Entire cities have been de-
stroyed and bodies are floating
In the Streets" DR.. Phileppeau
told the Miami News after tele-
phone communication with
Haiti was re-established for the
first time since Flora struck.
It viii be a long time, he
said, before the full story of
death and destruction can be
told. Flora hammered Haiti
with 140-mile-an-hour fury for
nine hours yesterday. Earlier,
the hurricane had killed at
least II on the island Of To-
bago. 9

from the storm, Eastern Cuba
also may be in bad shape.
At noon, Flora's top winds
had dropped to 80 miles an
hour and the storm was badly
distorted after the marathon
clash with Cuban mountains.
The peak wind reported in
the Bahamas was 70 miles an
hour over the ragged keys, rs
miles north Of the Cuban coast.
Nassau, capital Of the Bahia
mas, 200 miles north of the
storm, had 35-mile winds but
forecaster Arthur Pike said
this was "only q normal
autumn northeaster." It was
caused, he said, by the clash
of a high-pressure area over
the United States and the low
pressure at the hurricanes
outer edges.
Hurricane warnings were
changed to gale warnings for
some Of the Banana Islands.
U. s. Promises Help
DR.. Phileppeau said Haiti
had been promised helicopters
from the United States to help
in surveying the damage and
I'VE are waiting to hear when
they will come. We must survey
the area before we can organ
ize our aid"
He said most Haitian towns
we're ravaged by floods, build
ings were unroofed or shat
tered, and most of the country
looked like a sodden trash heap.
South Florida interests were
warned to keep in close touch
with future hurricane bulletins.
Winds Of rs miles an hour
were reported today at Santi-
ago, on. the uth coast of
Cuba, and Punta Lucrecia on
the north coast. Serious flood
ing appeared certain over the
eastern part of Fidel Castro's
Communist island.
The hurricane roughened
the seas from the north coast
of Jamaica to the Bahamas
and the southeast Florida
coast. keeping small craft
anchored in port.

and hammers could be heard
throughout the night as homes

Another Monk Dies
By Fire in Saigon
SuicideSixth
In Series of
Protests

SAIGON. Wet Nam, Oct. 5
tAP). A young Buddhist
monk burned himself to death
today in the street of Saigon's
central market, emphasizing
continued resistance to the ad-
ministrstion of President Ngo
Dinh Diem.
Hundreds of onlookers
watched in horror.
The monk. apparently in his
early 20s, was the sixth of his
faith to commit suicide by fire
in protest against what the
Buddhists call repressive &C
tons by Mr.. Diem, a Roman
Catholic.
Three American newsmen
were beaten and injured by
plainclothes agents when they
resisted efforts to seize their
cameras. Troops and police
rshed in and sealed off the
area.
Thirty minutes later a leaf
let grenade. q relatively harm
less device used by antigovern-
ment propaganda organs, was
reported to haxe exploded out
side the nearby quarters of a
detachment of United States
military bachelor officers.
Demonstration Suppressed
A student demonstration
quickly suppressed by security
forces-was reported in an
other part Of the capital.
United States Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge called an
immediate conference at the
Embassy.
An Embassy spokesman said
Mr.. Lodge was shocked and
disturbed by the suicide and
deeply concerned about its
political implications.
Mr.. Lodge is known to feel
that political opposition in
Wet Nam to the Diem regime
is Separating the United
! States-backed war against
: Communist guerrillss. It is
believed Mr.. Lodge favors a
) firmer Washington attitude
concerning reforms that might
bring the Wet Namese people
closer to their government.
The suicide conceded with a
farewell visit being paid to Mr..
Diem by President Hubert
Maya of Dahomey, who has
been on a two-day official visit
to South Wet Nam.
Follows Mcnamara Visit
The suicide came only four
days after Secretary of Defense
Robert S. Mcnamara left Sal
gon with a report for Presi-
dent Kennedy on the progress
of the anti Communist war.
One of Mr.. Kennedy's aims
in dispatching Mr.. Mcnamara
to South Wet Nam was to de-
termine whether the POLITICAL
religious crisis had hurt the
war effort.
Minutes after the monks
Icharred and blackened body
toppled over, troops and police
rushed in, tanks and armored
cars rolled up and barbed wire
barricades were thrown around
downtown Saigon.
Steps From Taxicab
The monk, in his early EOS,
stepped out Of a taxicab at the
busy central market intersec-
ton shortly after noon. He sat
down croSs-legged, pulled a can
OF gasoline from a small rubber

Mr.. Richardson is listed by

The United States mas raised
a warning flag for any more

power.
It made an example yesterday
Of the Dominican Republic and
Honduras, whose governments
were toppled in quick success
sion.
Going further than merely
suspending aid and diplomatic
relations, the United States or
dered withdrawal of the United
States economic and military
aid missions from the two coun-
tries-making it that much
more difficult for assistance to
be resumed.
I'VE view the recent military
coups in the Dominican Repub-

State Rusk said in a statement
announcing the action.
Earlier in the day the State
Department suspended diplo-
matte relations and deliveries
of military and economic aid to
Honduras.
Alarm Seen
The rapid series of actions
came within a day after the
Honduran army overthrow the
government of President Ramon
Villeda Morales and forced
him into exile in Costa Rica.
The Honduras coup came on
the heels Of a military clique's

Under the plan, the nine
members Of the city's delega-
ton to the Republican National

politically reasonable point.
The primary ballot would
carry the names of Gov. Rookie
Teller Of New York, Senator

Scranton Of Pennsylvania.
During the 1860 voting, the
city's elections board required
the Democratic organization To
obtain permission Of the can

appear on the preference ballot.
A shift in this position would
be needed for approval Of the
Republican plan.
There was also talk Of adding
a fifth name to the primary
