C. W When was Charleston's main artery, King Street, ever so deserted at midday? Hurricane Gracie, on a wild and sodden spree, swept the street near ly clean, smashing store windows by the score and scattering com mercial signs like an unruly child playing jack straws. The scene was low-key gray as viewed through a driving rain. On ly a few cars crept slowly down the normally teeming street. The for lorn figures of police officers in gleaming slickers leaned into the ! roofs strong wind. A new three million dollar shop ping center in the north area of Charleston was hard hit. Portions of the roofs of the new stores were blown off and big display windows splintered. Similar damage was reported at another big shopping center opened west of the Ashley River last April. The fierce winds also raked the roofs of houses in new subdivisions in the west Ashley area. One home owner said he had "a fine lawn of shingles." Another said shingles were standing up on long lines of houses, "like pigeons sitting on the Nikita S. Khrushchev's American tour and readied a welcome for him in Peiping Wednesday. "The Chinese people rejoice in comrade Khrushchev's success," said the official Peiping people's daily. Immense delight was re ported by Ta Kung Pao. another !ily reflecting offici.il views, Rad.o Fe.pin unid. The Soviet Premier is flying frcm Moscow for the 10th anniver sary of his most powerful Asian al ly, to be celebrated tomorrow. The visit to China gives Khrush chev a chance to fill in Mao Tze Tung. chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, on details of his 13-day visit to the United States and perhaps to caution the Peiping hier archy against rocking the boat with fresh military adventures. Relaxation of tension was the avowed aim of Khrushchev's trip to the United States, which the Pre mier called very successful. Before taking off the Peiping he less aggressive line in current Asian disputes especially their frontier argument with India and renewed t reats to Formosa at a time when East-West relations seem to be warming. The Soviet Union appealed to Red China and India three weeks ago to settle their border row. There has been talk in India that Khrushchev might take a hand per sonally in negotiations of a com piomise. Calls for the "liberation" of For mosa, President Chiang Kai-Shek'.: Nationalist Chinese Stronghold, have been a fixture of the Peiping an niversary celebrations and they are being made again now by Red China's President, Liu Shao-Chi. National Guard soldiers were scat tered among them to help dis courage looting. Five huge windows of a bicycle shop were cleanly removed, the bikes scattered in a pile. Inside a men's clothing store, suits advertised as top bargains swung limply on their hangers as rain sprayed them through an open window. The Edwards 5 and 10 cent store had disgorged items of displayed underclothing into the street. Man equins, their arms twisted or brok en, lurched drunkenly out of the shattered windows. Broken glass glistened in the street. Signs rolled with the wind, slammed against power poles or skidded noisily along the pave ment. Refrigerators in a shattered ap pliance store window dripped wa ter. A music store window gaped upon a dark interior, thrown into wild disarray by the wind. A hat shop sign keynoted the scene. The wind turned it crazily upside down. This was King Street. One insurance company anticipat ing heavy damage, sent a team of 12 adjusters from Raleigh, Char lotte, Greensboro and Greenville into the field. On Judith Street in the eastern section of the city, on the Cooper River side, police said a number of residents were evacuated from high water by boat. Hazel Left Damage In Wake Here When Hurricane Hazel passed Chapel Hill in October, 1954, there were high winds and much rain. with some damage done to cars and streets by falling trees. There was also some flooding in the streets of Chapel Hill. City Hall had the police, the fire department, the NROTC, the Civil Service and the local Red Cross ready in case of emergency. A crew with chain saws and axes was sent out to clear fallen trees from the streets. An emergency power plant was installed in City Hall in order to keep in touch with weather sta tions. One man in an iron lung was moved by the police to the hospital because of an electrical failure in his house. How about Grace?

Aycock Asks yHow Big7 In Faculty Talk Chancellor William B. Aycock today asked the faculty of the University of North Carolina "How big is too big?" Aycock pointed to the fallacy of saying that the size of an in stitution must be frozen, with en rollments limited, and in the next instant crying for more scientists, more teachers, more doctors, more journalists, better trained busi nessmen and lawyers. He address ed the Faculty Club at the Caro- ina Inn. Asking the faculty to be recep tive to new methods and changes inherent in growth, Chancellor Aycock stressed the necessity for planning "a bigger and better Uni versity." ttived six to 10 year terms.

According to the 9 p.m. Tues day bulletin issued from Miami, Charlotte would receive the blunt of the storm about 2 a.m. today. However, the U. S. Wreather Bureau at Raleigh-Durham airport said that the hurricane could take a more northly course and come nearer to Chapel Hill. The bureau expected UNC to feel winds 50 m.p.h. in gusts with heavy rains. Late Tuesday nignt Gracie was moving north-northwest to north at 12 m.p.h. The Raleigh-Durham bureau est imated Gracie not to be as severe as Hazel in 1954, but it cautioned that hurricanes are erratic and must be watched colsely. Since Gracie hit Charleston Tuesday af ternoon, she has moved northeast (3 p.m.) bulletin) and has turned toward the Charlotte-Greensboro- Raleigh area. In Charleston, Gracie knocked out communications in many areas and damaged some of the town's historic buildings. Emergency warnings remained displayed from Savannah, Ga., to Wilmington late Tuesday. (From The Associated Press Wire Reports) Sixteen ships of the U.S. Second leet left port at Norfolk, Va., to avoid possible hurricane damage. They included the Aircraft Carrier Forrestal, the Fleet Flagship Northampton, the Guided Missile Cruisers Canberra and Galveston, the Cruiser Newport News and several destroyers. They moved beyond the Virginia capes to ride out the storm. Many aircraft from installations were flown out Monday and Tues- years have been credited with day. Troop carrier planes-C119s, drastic cuts in loss of life and B123s and B130s bated a Pam i property during hurricanes.

Ninety shelters were opened as far north as Wilmington and another 10 shelters were ready in Wilmington, if needed. At Mt. Pleasant, on the inland side of the Isle of Palms, Police Chief C. J. Benton said, "There is lots of litter in the streets, trees are down, there is no power and plenty of water in the low areas." The chief, who lives on Royal Ave., two blocks from the Island Waterway, said water had backed up to his back door. He said the chimney had been blown from his house and the shingles from many other houses of the community. Benton added that business signs had been blown down, the glass fronts blown from the Ideal Laun dry, the Cities Service station, and Simmons' Seafood Market. Sen ton said the water was too deep for travel to the Isle of Palms. Reports reaching Charleston from the Isle of Palms, across the Cooper River from Charleston were that houses fronting the At lantic were not so badly damaged as those behind. Severe damage was reported to a number of houses. However, the Isle of Palms fishing pier and the amusement center were not badlj damaged. Gracie was something of a freak hurricane. Moving northward in the Atlantic, she stalled around for more than a week. Sometimes she lost hurricane force, then re gained it. She moved here and there. Yesterday she suddenly picked up a Sunday punch and started heading toward the main land. Constantly improving hurricane warning facilities during recent AFB at Ft.

Down the coast at Savannah Beach, Ga., 200 residents rode out the storm, while others evacuated. The area received fringe wind construction of beach homes. Among the hundreds who sought refuge in Charleston shelters were five expectant mothers who were taken to the The Citadel Armory. An ambulance was called to take one to a hospital, but she refused to go and a doctor said she was not then in labor.
