NEW ORLEANS UPI — Piling their possessions into old pickup trucks and shiny new sedans, residents of the Louisiana Gulf Coast left whole towns abandoned today to the expected fury of Hurricane Hilda — a monster storm 400 miles wide. The U. S. Weather Bureau called it “one of the most powerful hurricanes ever seen in the Gulf.” Winds lashed around its core at 150 miles an hour. In size it was almo-t as big as the states ot Louisiana and Mississippi combined. Ships were reported in trouble at sea as the hurricane sent out tentacles of power.

Talks Continue DETROIT UPI—The Unitea Auto Workers and General Motors Corp. today concentrated bargaining efforts on wrapping up nearly 17.000 local demands in an effort to end an eight-day strike by more than 250,000 workers. GM Vice President Louis G. Seaton and UAW President Walter P. Retlier said Thursday that some progress was seen in plant level negotiations and two more locals came to terms.

More than 30.000 people were reported clearing out ahead of the storm. “Nobody but a fool would stay down here during a hurricane,” said one woman. “You don’t pack. You just dump your clothes in a sheet and roll it up and go.” The Weather Bureau put the Louisiana coast west of the Mississippi under hurricane warning -— word that the efPolice Report Local Accident Damage resulted when the top of a 1960 Ford truck-trailer tore off a branch of a tree at 4:19 Thursday afternoon, city police reported this morning. The accident occurred on Seminary Street. 55 feet east of the Indiana Street intersec-

tion.

Police said the truck driver, Larry H. Phillips, Charleston, Illinois, was parking at the curb when the top of the trailer caught the tree limb. Oficer John Stevens estimated the damage at $20 to the trailer and the same to the tree, the property of Florence Craw-

ford.

fects of the storm are expected in 24 hours or less. At 1 a. m. CST the hurricane was reported 300 miles southsouthwest of New Orleans, at longitude 91.8 and latitude 25.9, about midway between Tampico. Mexico and Pensacola, Fla. It vyas moving toward the northwest at a slow six miles an hour, aiming roughly for the Texas coast just west of the Louisiana state line. But weathermen said they expected it to veer off to the east early tlj,> morning and zero in on the Ltyusiana coast. The weather bureau said winds will reach gale force from Galveston, Tex., to Mobile, Ala., today, but the storm was still too far off to say just when the destructive core would hit the coast.

ment empty.

Thieves had broken in and moved out all his furniture.

Troopers Inspect Rural Crossings State troopers inspected all of Indiana’s rural railroad crossings during July and August looking for driving hazards. Their reports were tabulated this month at General Headquarters in Indianapolis and improvements recomanended to railroad officials and state and county highway departments. State Police Supt. George A. Everett reported that the survey is aimed at cutting down the number of train-vehicle collisions. He pointed out that the crossing collision rate tends to increase sharply about this time of year. In 1963, during the final three months of the year, there were a total of 225 grade crossing accidents in the state — more than occurred at any other quarter of the year. Colonel Everett declared that railroad crossing improvements alone would not cut down the accident toll. He reminded drivers that there is no substitute for an alert, defensive approach to all crossings. "Safety ■it grade crossings is a shared responsibility,” he said. Many of the recommendations made by the inspecting troopers pertained to obstructions that obscured the view of drivers. They asked that weeds and tree limbs be cut, embankments leveled and. in several cases, that railroads remove freight cars parked on sidings too near crossings. In other areas they suggested that crossbuck warning signs be repainted and other warning derices installed or re-located. Miller Speaks In California LOS ANGELES UPI — Republican vice presidential nominee William E. Miller moves his campaign into Texas today following a speech here where he accused the Democratic administration of "shackling our nation’s defense to a space age Maginot Line.” In an address Thursday night to about 1.000 Republicans who paid $50-a-plate for dinner in suburban Glendale, Miller said delay in development of such weapons as anti-missile missiles might let the Russians catch up and overtake America.
