It is maintain ing a forward speed of about 20 miles an an hour. The storm’s force, weakened during its trip across Florida, was building up again over open water and an 8 P. M. (EWT) Weather Bureau advisory warned that 60 mile an hour gale wind would prob ably lash the coastline as far north as Norfolk. Va., lale tonight and early Monday morning. The storm will cause higher than nor mal tides, the advisory said. “All interests on the Carolina and Virginia coasts should be on the alert and stand by for further ;dvice tonight," the wpather bu reau said The bulletin said that gales and hurricane winds would orevail out to sea. The advisory said that winds of .15 miles an hour were recorded at the resort of Tybee, Ga., 16 miles East of Savannah. Storm warnings remained dis olayed from Fernandma, Fla., to Norfolk. The storm struck the Florida West Coast between Tampa and Dunnellon this morning with full hurricane force and followed the oath of last year’s destructive $25, 000,000 blow across the state. This ‘ime, however, damage — mostly from heavy rainfall and a few broken telephone lines—was small r, Innoli'mcl Peak wind velocity was record ed near Tampa at 100 miles an hour but it rapidly diminished in force and was down to 45 miles an hour when the storm went out to sea, according to the Weather Bu reau. Forward movement of the season’s first tropical disturbance in this area was last reported at between 17 and 20 miles an hour The Weather Bureau cautioned that the storm may regain some of its intensity over open water and advised caut’on for shipping off the Georgia and Carolina coasts throughout the day. In contrast to the 1944 hurriance that destroyed much of ihe state s citrus crop, this one partially re paid the damage bill from last vear by loosing a deluge of rain to end a long drought. Nine inches fell at Tampa in 36 hours. R. C. Evans, manager of the Florida Citrus Commission, said the rain was just what growers needed to save their fruit. -V full tooth at birth CHICAGO, June 24.- (U.R) —A seven-and-one-half-pound boy born recently to Mrs. Belty Jane Funck, 24, was equipped with a full-grown tooth.

Longenecker, Federal manager of the city’s seized truck ing lines, said the tieup ot essen tial goods had been broken and predicted prompt movement of all war material and food stuffs. More than 16,000 troops were stationed in the city, but Longenecker re ported many union drivers return ing to their jobs after seeing their trucks driven by soldiers. The strike was in protest over a WLB decision on wage rates. Approximately 650 employes of the National Malleable and Steel Castings Company of Chicago were to return to work today. But 1,100 workers at the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Printing Company were still idle. There were no prospects for ter mination of a widespread strike affecting 15.000 glass workers in 10 cities. They include 8.000 from six Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com pany plants and 7.000 from four Libbey - Owens - Ford Company plants. More than 400 bus drivers and mechanics of the Tri-state Transit Company of Louisiana continued their two-week strike which has af fected some 60,000 passengers in nine states. The strikers, who left their jobs in a dispute over wage rates and olher grievances, studied a WLB agreement to appoint a national panel to consider their problem if the walkout is ended. Other strike situations which continued unchanged included: Stoppage of work by 40 printers of the Jersey City, N. J., Journal and by 18 at the Bayonne. N. Y., Times; walkouts of 1,000 workers at the Acklin Stamping Company and the Mather Spring Co . Toledo, Ohio; 1,000 at the Anchor Hocking Glass Co., Connellsville, Pa.; 500 at the Houdaille-Hershey Co., Deca tur, 111. Twentyseven hundred workers at the Carter Carburetor Company, St. Louis. Mo., voted to return to work today. -V ‘CHUTE’ TROOPS JOIN BIG FIGHT (Continued From Page One) Philippines, with 9,238 killed and 1,483 taken prisoner. The prisoners were mostly Formosan conscripts, however. This raised the Japanese casual ties for the entire Philippines cam paign to 413,084. American casualties for the past week were placed at 223 killed and 589 wounded. Both for the Japanese and the Americans, heaviest casualties during the week were on Luzon where the Japanese lost 7.711 dead and 1,399 captured against 148 Americans killed and 294 wounded. Hamilton W. Faron, Associated Press Correspondent who wit nessed the airborne landing near Aparri, reported that the operation went off with the precision of a practice maneuver. The parachutists had cleared out of their transports and hit the ground within a breathtaking 120 seconds. Ten minutes alter the jumps, gliders slid gracefully to rest in the fields of grass three to five feet high. The grass concealed some rough hillocks and bomb craters on the landing ground, which was near the disused Japanese airfield of Canalaniugan. Fifth Air Force fighter bombers supported the airborne operation with more than 300 sorties, while torpedo boats oflshore strafed Gon zaga, 20 miles east of Aparri. With these strong reinforcements for the guerrillas at the north end of the valley, and with the guer rillas themselves holding the trails leading into the wild mountains that flank the valley, the Japanese were confronting liquidation in the very area where they made their first invasion of tne Philippines on Dec. 10, 1941. They invaded at Aparri. Some heavy fighting still was under way in the Luzon mountain provinces west of the Cagayan val ley, however. The U. S. Sixth In fantry division, driving on the ene my stronghold of Kiangan, fought off a strong enemy counterattack northwest of the Payawan r e s t j house Thursday night and Friday | morning. Since June 16, the Sixth Division column has killed an average of 150 Japanese daily in its advance along the hairnin turns of highway No. 4, where dense forests, bam boo thickets and steep cliffs offer perfect defensive positions or the enemy.
