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.
The newsmen were badly beat
en by the secret police of Presi
dent Ngo Dinh Diem while cov
ering the latest human torch
suicide of a Buddhist monk

This would indicate that out

"New hires are expected to

ment will not decrease very
much until winter weather caus
es a reduction in outdoor work,"
Patton predicted.
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

CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI)
Pro-Castro assassins . shot and
killed two National Guardsmen
on the Caracas-Liiguaira super
highway Saturday, raising to
seven the death toll in a night
marish reign of terror that be
gan Friday night throughout
Venezuela.
The terrorist group, members
of the armed forces National
Liberation (FALN), killed five
persons and wounded 10 others
during the night in a series of
hit-run raids apparently aimed
at challenging the government's
massive crackdown against thc
pro-Communists.
Police and military forces ar
rested at least 200 persons dur
ing the night and reinforced
their numbers in Caracas Sat
urday with 500 graduates of a
police academy. But reliable
sources said the FALN struck
in daylight on the famed super
highway Saturday then fled into
the rugged mountains along the
way.
Patrol Ambushed
The terror began al 9:30 n.m.
when army radios heard the
anguished cry of Ptc. Rafael An-

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
