Hurricane David takes aim at Georgia, Carolinas

COCOA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Hurricane David whipped up Jhe Atlantic Coast today, pummeling coastal north-central Florida and taking deadly aim at Georgia and the Carolinas. , The densely populated Miami area was spared Monday as Pavid. one of the century's worst summer storms, hit the United States mainland after taking a heavy toll in the Caribbean. Hurricane-spawned tornados snaked out ahead as it ripped through a string of coastal cities, leaving behind power outages, Roofless homes, shattered windows and damaged conttominiums • Furious winds snatched refrigerators and television sets out of wrecked apartments and tossed heavy camper trailers a quarter mile. ; At least five Florida deaths were indirectly caused by the storm’s Labor Day arrival, adding to David’s growing toll. In the hard-hit Dominican Republic, officials raised the death mint to at least 800. Forecasters said David’s 90 mph wimds were likely to grow stronger and predicted the storm would move further offshore fcgpfore slamming back into the coast. I Resort hotels in Daytona Beach were virtually deserted early today as thousands of tourists responded to evacuation orders. Others trimmed vacation plans and prepared to leave beaches along the Georgia and South Carolina coasts. -At 4 am. EDT, hurricane warnings were extended to Charleston. S.C., some 500 miles to the north. The storm’s center was at latitude 29.2 north and longitude 80.7 west, 20 miles offshore from Daytona Beach, Fla. David was moving north at 10 mph. .Meanwhile, Hurricane Frederic lost strength and was

downgraded to a tropical storm as it moved along the path David took last week when it attacked Caribbean islands with 150 mph winds more than double Frederic’s force as it moved near Puerto Rico early today. Dick Young, spokesman soy the Kennedy Space Center, said an Atlas Centaur launch rocket was the only heavy piece of hardware left exposed and that no major damage was reported. Just south of the space center, David devastated two condominiums and dozens of trailers when it roared through the nearly deserted island town of Melbourne Beach. “Televisions, radios, refrigerators everything was sucked out and thrown across the street,” said Police Chief Euel Roberts. “It ripped out about 50 percent of the trailers, did hundreds of thousands of dollars of damages.” "The whole county is just a mess. Telephones out, no power, blocked roads...” said a spokeswoman for the Brevard County sheriff’s department. Ronnie Book, an aide to Gov. Bob Graham, said damage estimates would be made after teams surveyed the coastal area today. Graham ordered the evacuation of 50,000 residents in lowlying areas in South Florida as the storm approached, and a call for “voluntary evacuation” of the Florida Keys ousted more than half of the island chain’s 70,000 residents, police said. But the Keys barely felt David’s passage, and the highest winds in Miami were 69 mph Monday as David loomed offshore. At noon, the storm’s eye swung inland at Palm Beach, buffeting expensive homes and stores. Damage estimates in Palm Beach County reached $1 million, said civil defense spokesman Gary Goldstein.

U.S.,Chinese representatives walk out

Summit opens with attack on three nations

HAVANA (AP) - The NonAligned Movement’s sixth summit meeting opened on a negative note, with attacks on two governments that once enjoyed places of honor in the Third World as well as on that perennial target, the United States. In a frequently applauded address opening the five-day meeting Monday, Cuban President Fidel Castro delivered his most scathing attack in years on the United States and also criticized Egypt and China. U.S. and Chinese representatives walked out, and Egypt’s foreign minister took issue publicly with his host. Previous non-aligned summits have had anti-American undertones. But Castro, the movement’s chairman for the next three years, this time is sponsoring a draft declaration to condemn the United States on

Carter praises organized labor, Meany

By ADAMCLYMER c. 1979 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON - President Carter hailed the American labor movement Monday night for its historic role on “the front line of freedom,” thanked it for its support of the new strategic arms treaty and its general backing of his energy program, and called for compromise on national health insurance. Carter, who flew back to Washington Monday after a brief vacation at his home in Plains, Ga., was the host to about 1,200 persons, most of them union officials, at a Labor

Dominican Republic's death toll passes 800

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) US. aid poured into the Dominican Republic as the official death toll from Hurricane David passed 800. Civil defense officials said they feared the toll would go much higher when relief workers reached remote parts of the interior that suffered heavy damage. A giant C-5a military cargo plane brought four helicopters for search and rescue missions, a water purification unit from Ft. Campbell, Ky., and jeeps, trucks and other equipment. C--130 military cargo planes shut-

countries and liberation movements, the Cuban leader recalled the American war in Vietnam and past U.S. attempts to assassinate him and other Cuban leaders. He said the United States was indirectly responsible for “genocide” in southern Lebanon and southern Africa. He accused the United States of maneuvering behind the scenes to try to prevent the summit meeting being held in Havana. He also said his neighbor to the north was guilty of “dirty scheming” by trying to portray Cuba as the tool of the Soviet Union. Ignoring the Carter administration’s frequent criticism of white rule in southern Africa, he said the United States “fully supports the Nazi facist spirit” in that area. He also accused

He paid special tribute to the ailing and absent president of the George Meany, praising his “stewardship” and the “extra measure of heart and spirit that has characterized the life and work” of Meany. On health insurance, he said that he had an “urgent concern that the labor movement and my administration bridge the narrow gap that divides us on this crucial issue.” But A 1 Zack, director of public relations for the American Federation of and Congress of Industrial

The greatest death toll oc-

Turning to other targets, he assailed Egypt, whose late President Gamal Abdel Nasser was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement, for signing the Camp David peace agreements, which he called a “betrayal ... an unjust, dirty cause.” And he accused China of “uncivilized behavior” toward other nations. Wayne Smith, the chief U.S. diplomatic representative in Havana, and China’s representative both walked out since as observers they could not speak. But Egyptian Foreign Minister Butros Ghali as the representative of a member nation demanded the podium to answer

Organizations, retorted: “So long as the administration is supporting a warmed-over version of catastrophic insurance, there is no chance there will be an agreement.” Much of organized labor supports the broader proposal of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, who has called the administration plan “piecemeal” and terms the gap “basic and fundamental.” Kennedy’s bill is expected to be introduced in about two weeks. Meany was not the only prominent labor leader absent from the picnic. According to a list of those present released by the White House, where a

curred in the small village of Ocoa, where 400 died when raging floodwaters from the Yaque River swept through the church and school where they had taken refuge. “The waters kept rising and rising until everything was flooded and dozens of persons drowned. The few who saved themselves had climbed to the top of the church steeple," a local official said. Journalists who flew over the Ocoa region, some 75 miles southwest of Santo Domingo, said it was a gigantic lake, with entire villages submerged.

Castro’s “pernicious” remarks, and Castro insisted that he be heard after the meeting’s moderator from Sri Lanka tried to put him off. Ghali said he was “disconcerted and shocked” by the attack. He said the Egyptians “are the only Arab people fighting for Palestine at this time” and that Egypt had gone “to Jerusalem to liberate Palestine from Israeli colonialism.” This drew angry rebuttals from several other Arab leaders, including Yasser Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Egypt’s isolation within the Non-Aligned Movement was underscored by the warm welcome the delegates gave Arafat when he entered the meeting hall in the Palace of Congresses.

Climbers battle for survival LONGMIRE, Wash. (AP) A disc jockey and two companions battled for survival high on Mount Rainier today after a suffocating blizzard halted their charity climb and helicopter rescue attempts failed. Eight feet of snow fell on the climbers over the weekend, destroying their tent and forcing them to take refuge in sleeping bags nestled in a crevasse “bigger than a basketball gymnasium.” Four rescue flights by a Chinook helicopter from Fort Lewis failed Monday when the aircraft could not land because of fog and blowing snow, said Maj. Ralph Paduano. Flights were to resume at daybreak, v The climbers, who are unable to descend because their ice axes were buried in the deep snow and because there is athreat of an avalanche, are trapped near the summit of the 14,410 mountain. A specially equipped and trained four-man rescue team was to set out early today from 10,000-foot Camp Muir, said Mount Rainier National Park spokesman Larry Henderson, r. Disc jockey Terry MacDonald, 31, who initiated the climb" to raise money for the fight against musuclar dystrophy, was filing regular reports to KYYX-FM in Seattle when the trek began last Tuesday. The broadcasts from the mountain continued until Saturday morning, when the climbers began to concentrate on survival, said station general manager Bob Bingham. In a two-way radio interview late Monday with The Associated Press, MacDonald said he and his guides were lucky to be alive. “It’s been an incredible experience...,” he said. “Today, we almost died three times. “We woke up at three o’clock in the morning, and it snowed all night long and covered our tent, including the door. We couldn’t get any air. We woke up and none of us could breathe. We tried to light a candle, but no one could get any matches to light...” With MacDonald were guides Rob Newsome and Dave Bishop of the North Cascades Alpine School in Bellingham, Wash.

Carter’s administration has political problems with some, but not all, of those unions, as it has with the labor federation itself, especially over its wageprice guidelines. But Meany, in his own Labor Day broadcast, did not deal with those differences and dwelled instead on the importance of a growth of union membership and activity in the 1980’s. Lane Kirkland, the labor federation’s secretarytreasurer, was among many of its high officials on the acceptance list. Before the president spoke to the gathering, which included almost no children, the picnickers engaged in various games.
