Seventy eight persons, all but three of them war veterans, were reported dead tonight in the isolated Florida keys lashed by a hurricane early today. Broken communication lines prevented confirmation of the deaths of the war veterans but the bodies of three killed at the little island town of Tavernief were brought to Miami tonight. Two children were reported missing there. Fears were expressed that the death toll in the sparsely settled keys area and on the southern tip of the mainland would be much higher. Coast guard headquarters advis ed that Miami received a report saying 75 war veterans in a camp at Rock Harbor, one of the keys off the south Florida coast, were killed and 47 were injured, lteport Im Verified The source of the report was no-t given but earlier a Miami Daily News staff photographer in the keys section reported he was told 75 veterans were killed. The pho tographer, Ralph Willits, said two veterans, members of the camp, shouted the news to him across a stretch of open water where a bridge was washed out. Four other Miami men, return ing tonight from Tavernier. gave the same report, saying they had walked out a small promontory to get as near the shouting vete rans as possible and the latter, obviously the radio was repaired and she was in communication with the rescue vessels standing by. The weather was moderating tonight and nearly a dozen other vessels were headed in the Dixie's direction to offer aid should it be required. Weather Block* Rescue Unless more serious complica tions are incurred it appeared un likely rescue efforts would be un dertaken before tomorrow morn ing. The Dixie reported early today she was taking "some water in double tanks." Just how badly ghe was damaged was not deter mined. The United Fruit liner Limon sighted the Dixie shortly after noon. a message to Tropical Radio said, but was blocked by the rough weather from beginning rescue operations. The Dixie first gave her posi tion as on dangerous Carysfort reef whose sharp coral shafts al most annually claim various types of craft, but after a recheck it was determined she was ground ed oq French reef, eight miles farther south. The Miami coast guard station advised it would be impossible, to sead a seaplane tp the twene until the weather improves. Tl?e message did not say a coast' guard plane would go when the wl^ds die down but merely re ported Inability to get a plane in the air at this time. ~ Wins Watch Mr. W.
