In Florida Put At $3 Million Storm Picks Up Speed On Leaving Mainland MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 23 (UP)— Floridans began mopping up today after a slow-moving vicious hurricane that caused 12 deaths and well over $3 million in damage since its birth in the Saribbean south of Cuba four days ago. Five were dead in Florida, seven in Cuba. The whirling storm roared out to sea last night. after slashing across Cuba and.wandering over ‘the southern half of Florida for two days. The . Weather Bureau here dubbed the hurricane the “ox-cart special” because of its leisurely and indecisive course. “If.it didn’t set a record for slow traveling,” Chief Forecaster Grady Norton said, “it must have come close to it.” The worst damage in southcentral Florida was to ripening beans, celery, cabbage and sugar cane. The loss already was estimated at $3 million and could increase if heavy rains follow the 120-mile an hour winds. Partly Isolated : Winds blew 10 per cent of the grapefruit crop from the trees. Some oranges and tangerines were were scarred and “weak” fruit fell to the ground. Key West was still partly isolated because of damage to the overseas highway. A large naval pier was undermined at the naval base there, and two Coast Guard vessels were blown aground. Florida's east ‘gold coast” got away with relatively small property damage as only the edge of the storm struck there. Trees were uprooted and some large store windows were smashed, and 15,000 telephones were out of order in Miami. : All five Florida deaths were reported from the Miami area.
Kentucky Likes Warren's Style
Times State Service EVANSVILLE, Sept. 23 — Republican vice presidential candidate Earl Warren breezed through this southern tip of Indiana yesterday with a promise of a Com-munist-free administration and a “straightforward” policy toward Russia if the GOP ticket is elected. He shared the spotlight in what was a big day of politics
‘for Evansville with the state's
two major party governor nominees, Democrat Henry Schricker 3nd Republican Hobart Creighon The Republican nominee for Vice President emphasized the unity theme, charging that a Democratic Party disunited in it(Continued From Page One) self could not expect to unite the nation. On the other hand, he said, “Republicans haven't had such leadership in 25 years as they now have under Thomas E. Dewey.” “Tom Dewey won't cater to Communists in this country,” Mr. Warren said. “When Dewey is elected ‘president, there won't be any trouble getting Communists out of the government because he won't let them fn in the first place.” ‘Efficient, Humane’ Promising a straightforward policy toward Russia, the vice presidential nominee added that the administration would be “efficient and humane,” » The two governor candidates took stands on the state's compulsory arbitration law in speeches before the 63d annual state AFL convention. Mr. Creighton defended the act, passed by the GOP in 1947, and contended that only by giving it a longer trial could any deficiencies and inequities be brought out. Mr. Schricker called it a “Republican forced labor law under! the name of compulsory arbitration.”

$40 Monthly Pension Canceled by Italy
NEW YORK, Sept. 23 Ie Benito Mussolini's widow is nearly penniless and is considering coming to: the. United - States with their two youngest children to look for work, Luigi Criscuolo, financier. and publisher of the monthly newsletter Rubicon, said today. Mr. Criscuolo said he ‘had received the information from a Rubicon reader who had called on Donna Rachele Mussolini at her three-room home at Forio d'Ischia, near Naples. He sald he himself had corresponded with Mrs. Mussolini for several years and had written her about her coming to this counrty. - He said he personally believed her intentions were serious and that if this were confirmed he probably would form a committee here “with no political implications” to aid the family. Good Farmer Mr. Criscuolo said Mrs. Mussolini and the children, Romano, 20, and Annamaria, 19, had been receiving a pension of about $40 a month but the ‘government had stopped paymeénts recently. He said he believed Mrs. Mussolini, now in her 50's, would have no difficulty earning her living here since she is a competent agriculturalist. He said he believed she also could quality as housekeeper for a wealthy family, although he did not know if she would wish to do such work. Romano, he said, has recently graduated as an accountant. Annamaria is suffering from in-| fantile paralysis, he said, and! needs an operation which her! mother cannot finance at this ime.
