Beating of Three Newsmen in Viet Nam Is Protested Rusk to Press for Full Explanation WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sec retary of State Dean Rusk said Saturday the United States will press the South Viet Nam gov ernment for an explanation of the beating of three American newsmen by secret police in Saigon. In addition, Senate Democrat ic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., denounced mistreatment of the three and said the South Vietnamese government should both apologize and pay dam ages. Rusk reported that U. S. Am bassador Henry Cabot Lodge has protested the incident to the Vietnamese government "in the most serious terms." "The treatment of news cor respondents," Rusk said, "is a matter the United States has pressed with the authorities of Viet Nam for many months. Unfortunately, repeated assur ances given to American offi cials by those authorities have not prevented this recent inci dent. The matter is being press ed lurtner. Deplorable Incident Mansfield declared in an in terview that "even more shock ing is the fact that they were refused any assistance after this deplorable incident." Mansfield, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee, said in a recent speech that Lodge must have "para mount authority" in South Viet Nam. There have been persist ent reports of differences among Lodge, the U. S. Central Intelli gence Agency, and U. S. mili tary leaders.

S. Weather Bureau officials in Miami, Fla., warned the huge storm might move Inwards the mainland of the United States. (UPI). i This year it has ended already. This would indicate that out side the fruit industry, employ ment conditions were even bet ter than a year ago, he said.

Commercial Construction He noted the peak employ ment for September was in mid month. There was some large commercial construction plus modernization of older struc tures and erection of several new multiple rental units. Plans are to provide off- street parking for approximate ly 100 cars in downtown men ford by removal of two old er buildings. This will provide much needed parking in the city's most congested area. Southern Oregon college re ported a marked increase in en rollment for the fall term. The pear harvest season end ed at the end of September, which was earlier than usual due to the small crop. Since most migrant pickers went on to Washington to pick apples Ihis caused a nicker shortage at the peak of the pear season, Patton note.

Dio, the threc-week-old son of Pel, Is Ihe smallest of four Onente Torrential Rains, High Winds Pound East End oi Cuba Rescue Aircraft Grounded by Storm MIAMI (UPI) - Hurricana Flora hammered widespread de struction on the two million res idents of Cuba's Oriente prov ince Saturday night and weather experts said the killer storm wiU probably start a crucial turn today that could menace the U. S. mainland. Flora's drive toward the Unit ed States was temporarily block ed Saturday night. Its threat to the mainland will depend on how far it moves along Cuba's south coast and how it veers when a high pressure area moves out of its way today, forecasters said. "We are not out of the woods yet," chief hurricane forecaster Gordon E. Dunn emphasized. He said chances of Flora sen ously affecting south Florida were "under 50 per cent." The weather bureau's 8 p.m. (est) report on the hurricana located Flora's center near lati tude 20.5 north, longitude 77.2 west, or just west of the town of Manzanilln on Cuba's south eastern coast, and 75 to 100 miles southeast of the island city of Camaguey. Six-Day Rampage Flora was drifting slowly westward, Us winds down from 140 miles an hour to bare hurri can force of 75 miles an hour after a six-day rampage over the Caribbean that claimed at Jeaat- St hvem ; , v 1 The weather bureau safd the ' season's sixth hurricane prob- aoiy would pick up a little for ward speed during the night and that "some turn is likely" on Sunday. Forecasters said a good deal will depend today on how much lo the west-northwest or north west the hurricane turns when the high pressure area moves out of Flora's path. The tem porary stall over Cuba bright ened the outlook somewhat for the mainland Saturday. Flora smashed into the moun tainous eastern end of Cuba about mid-day Friday and stall ed over Oriente province, pound ing the area hour after hour with torrential rains and winds clocked up to 115 miles an hour in a number of places. Continual I. ashing The big U. S. naval base at Guantanamo bay on Oricnte's south coast caught a continual lashing from the hurricane as it passed east of the base Friday and looped back southwest of; Guantanamo Saturday before beginning to drift westward along Cuba's Caribbean coast. Most of the 14 or 15 rivers in Oriente were reported overflow ing their banks and residents of two towns, Mayari and Sagua dc Tanamo, were reported trap- I pod by fast-rising flood waters. Communist military officials ! used amateur radio facilities to ! broadcast appeals to Fidel Cas- tro for help, but were told that helicopters and other rescue air craft were grounded by the hur ricane. Widespread damage lo crops and buildings was indicated in the broadcasts monitored in Mi ami.
