PINAR DEL RIO-Las lluvias
que comenzaron al mediodia del
sabado han continuado sin interrupci6n durante todo el dia de
ayer, domingo, en Pinar del Rio,
mientras algunas rafagas de moderada intensidad se registraban
al mediodia de ayer a intervalos.
Al conocerse l, -amenaza de la
perturbaci6n cicl6nica, se adoptaron las medidas aconsejadas pa-
N

En nuestras extensas
agricolas se han adoptado medidas para poner a buen resguardo
el ganado. Parejamente se aplican los mntodos adecuadas par
asegurar las viviendas y evitar
que los sembrados sufran dafios
irremediables.
Conjuntamente con el Partido
todas las organizaciones de ma,

mientras los bonuberos y la Cruz
Roja se hallan acuartelados.
Las primeras evacuaclones comenzaron en la tarde de ayer,
principalmente en el puerto de La
Coloma, al sur de la provincia
de Pinar del Rio.
0 Precauciones en Isla de
Pinos
Ante las posibilidades de que
Isla de Pinos fuera afectada por
la perturbacidn cicl6nica, todos
los organismos pineros, bajo la
orientaci6n del Partido, adoptaron
desde ayer medidas concretas de
prevision. En las zonas Francois
y Sierra Caballos, las mas afectadas por las lluvias, parte del personal fue evacuado.
En granjas y campamentos tam..
bien fueron tomadas precauciones. El ganado se ha trasladado
para lugares altos, sin que tal me-
dida signifique disminuci6n en la
producci6n de leche.
Varias brigadas del MICONS
trabajan en el apuntalamiento de
las vviendas que ofrecen peigro
y revisan los alcanarillados y-tragantes en las zonas-urbanas.
Los servicios de telfonos y
electricidad se han visto interrumpidos a intervalos en algunas zonas. Los trabaiadores de esos sectores trabajan activamente a fin
de mantener dichos servicios.
La poblaci6n se encuentra en
calma y atenta a las orientaciones que se dictan.

Heat Generated
By TOM INGLIS
Times Staff Writer
Heat generated by friction between Gov. Claude Kirk's palace guard and the Republican party organi zation has left some
severe scars, but has also forged a finer temper into the party
as a political instrument.Afethclsddocacsothcnvtineegin,
During the past weekend in Orlando Kirk suffered stunning
defeats first in a meeting of. the state executive committee, and
later in a caucus of the state delegation to the national convention.
True, the party threw Kirk a bone by making him "honorary chairman" of the convention delegation and by indicating
they may vote for Kirk as favorite son - if this is convenient
land practical on the convention floor,
Discredited after the confrontation was Kirk's chief political
yKrk igt Mold BetterGO
aide Tom Ferguson and 'he walkie-talkie team that became
known as the Kirk Mafia.
Emerging as a powerful force on the state level is an organization known as "the ICY Machine."
The ICY machine has been an active force in Pinellas Couinty where the call letters stand for the last names of Jack Insco,
Congressman William Cramer, and State Senator Bill Young.
ICY has been campaigning for various Republican candidates in Pinellas, and now can be expected to throw its weight
behind various anti-Kirk Republicans on the state level'
In addition to Insco, Cramer and Young, the political instrument includes Eddie Taylor, who with Insco walked the
streets of Tampa for many years campaigning for Cramer.
Also emerging as Republican powers, working in coopera-
tion with ICY, but not necessarily members of the team, are
GOP Party Chairman Bill Murf in and state Senator Tom Slade
of Duval County.agi
Murf in, who never lost his cool during the battles with Kirk,
has come out as undisputed chief of the party. He will lead the
delegation at Miami.
Slade, who reportedly has ambitions to run for governor at
some future date, has thrown his weight behind Murfin and has
emerged one of the real GOP leaders in the state.
There is a unique quality to members of the ICY-MurfinSlade alliance. There's a characteristic of Republicans that
forces members of the party to chant praises of party unity
while they set in motion a sort of doomsday machine that blows
the party asunder.
All of Cramer's remarks at the Orlando bloodletting were
directed toward party unity, but his actions were gut blows
agist the governor's ambitions.

Murfin told The Times Ferguson was discussed in the caucus.

grin. "We discussed the roles of people. I said I felt Mr. Ferguso'sroltaynth.oenr'"fiean

indicates we have grown up as a party. We have a unity they
don't have in the Democrat party. We're interested in electing

spoils that go with this. They have stars in their eyes."

By WILLIAM TUCKER
Miami News Reporter
Hurricane warnings went up from Marco Island to Tarpon Springs today as the upstart storm, Abby, charged
through the Gulf of Mexico toward the populous Florida West
Coast and sent gales into the Miami area.
Four persons were missing on a sailboat caught in the
storm's fury between Key West and the Dry Tortugas. Emergency hurricane preparations were hurried on the West d oast_
and Homestead Air Force Base, well east of the storm's main
thrust, sent its fighter squadrons winging to a land-locked
base in Mississippi.
At noon, the Miami Hurricane Center placed the storm
center at longitude 83.3 west, longitude 25.6 or about 170
miles south-southwest of Tampa.
Abby, only a cloud mass two days ago off Cuba, reached
hurricane strength of 74 miles an hour or better in its passage
over the warm water of the Gulf shortly before noon.
The weather bureau ordered hurricane warnings raised
from the general area of Marco Island, 120 miles west of Miami, to the Tarpon Springs area 175 miles farther up the
coast. The center was due to strike the coast late today.
Included in the warned area were a string of resort and
retirement cent~rs including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Port
Charlotte, Naples, Venice, Sarasota, Bradenton, Punta Gorda,
Boca Grande, Clearwater, and the sprawling St. PetersburgTampa area. Almost a million Florida residents were affected.

Hurricane Abby will give
Hillsborough's 98,0001 students
a holiday today.
Raymond
Superintendent
Shelton said last night officials
had decided to close the county's 126 schools because of
Hurricane Abby, scheduled to
hit the Florida West Coast
around-7 a.m. today.
Shelton said the decision
was made on the recommendation of the disaster cornmittee of the Civil Defense on
the basis of late advisories on
t h e hurricane which was
.churning
toward the Tampa
Bay Area late yesterday.
Shelton said the lost day
would be made up later and
added there was a possibility
of holding school today should
Abby veer away from the
West Coast area early enough,
although he tended to discount
the likelihood of this.

The aircraft were flown to

The shot didn't materialize
as a potent dose but the Air

it safe. Yesterday, "condition one" still was in effect
at the base, just in case Abby

Most of the planes are F-4

are cargo and tanker craft.

miles south southwest of
Tampa.
Earlier, weathermen reported its center becoming
slightly better defined at that
position, slightly east of its
position in early evening.
Despite the apparent shift
of the eye to the east, weath-
ermen said the hurricane
itself seemed stationary with
hurricane winds - if any occurring only in passing
squalls.
If the soggy storm fully
reorganizes, Forecaster Arnold Suggs said, it likely
would continue on its origi-
nal course toward Tampa
Bay, where close to a million
people waited as Abby
swirled offshore in the Gulf.
One death was attributed
to the storm and five persons
were missing at sea.
Monday, she was skipping up
the Florida coast at a nearincredible 15 m.p.h. The sitdown began about 3 p.m.

Pussy Cat Abby
Puffs Out to Sea
CAPE KENNEDY (UPI) An impotent tropical storm
Abby, a killer- in the height of
its fury, puffed out to sea
across the nation's spaceport
today after spraying Florida
citrus with needed rains.
Miami's Chief Hurricane
Forecaster, Dr. R. H. Simpson, said "It looks like Abby
has had her day in court."
Gale warnings remained displayed north of Palm Beach to
Jacksonville as the storm
neared the Atlantic, but the
weather bureau said most of
the gale winds will be over the
open waters of the sea.
TOP WINDS of 45 miles an
hour were recorded as Abby
moved into the Cape Kennedy
area, but a slight increase in
intensity was expected by late
today.
At midnight EDT, the center
of the storm was at latitude
28.5 north, longitude 80.8 west,
near Titusville. The storm was
moving northeasterly at eight
miles an hour and no change
in direction is indicated.
The heavy rains which Abby
dumped on central Florida
were expected to taper off as
the storm moved offshore.
"While Abby has never been
a well organized storm, the
c e n t r a I pressure remained
quite low," said the weather
bureau.
THE HURRICANE watchers also warned interests
along the Georgia and Carolina coasts to watch for future
advices.
Spawned in the northwest
Caribbean just south of Cuba,
Abby drowned a small child in
Key West and left a fisherman
missing as the storm puddlejumped up Florida's West
Coast, moving Inland at Punta
Gorda yesterday, almost unnoticed.
Four other persons who had
been feared lost sailed into
Flamingo in their 34-foot sloop
unharmed yesterday.
Also reaching port safely
were seven Cuban refugees
whose home-made raft overturned in storm-whipped seas.
The refugees, whose raft was
equipped with oars, a sail and
enough provisions for two
weeks, were picked up by a
banana boat when the raft
capsized off the Florida Keys.
Recharged Abby Meanders
Off Florida's East Coast
From Tribune Wires
VERO BEACH - Tropical
storm Abby, recharged to just
under strength, meandered
just off the Atlantic coastline
1 a s t night, threatening to
gobble up some north Florida
beachfront with high tides.
T h e one-time hurricane,
first of the five-day-old season,
spawned a small tornado
which touched down briefly
du rindg the morning near
Haines City, knocking down
television antenna and breakig a few windows. No one
was injured.
As Abby lingered along the
coast after going back to sea
near Cape Kennedy, her winds
mounted to peaks of 60 to 65
miles per hour and weathermen said gusts may reach
the 75-mile-per hour hurricane
force during the night. They
added, however, the storm
was not expected to regain full
hurricane force because such
a large portion of the circulation area remained over land.
However, early last evening
a hurricane watch was in effect for the area from Melbourne northward to Jacksonvile and gale warnings for the
area were changed to storm
warnings.
Gale warnings remained in
effect from north of Palm
Beach to Melbourne and small
craft were warned to stay in
port around the Florida peninsula and northward to Cape
Fear, N. C.
T
ing were increasing duro
dring the evening north of the
storm center and were ext
pected to range up to three to
five feet above normal along
northeast Florida and one to
three feet above normal along
Georgia and South Carolina
coasts.
Local flooding and erosion
was expected
on the north
Florida coast.
The ill-defined cenier was
about 40 miles due east of Melbourne last night and officials
of the National Hurricane Center at Miami expected it to
move slowly north or northwesterly today.
A 36-foot fishing boat, the
Lively Lady, was missing at
sea despite a wide Coast
Guard search in the Gulf of
Mexico. The vessel was scheduled to dock Monday near St.
Petersburg.
The storm claimed the lives
of a child at Key West and a
Cuban who drowned when a
small raft ferrying eight refugees capsized in heavy waves.
The other seven were picked
up by a passing boat and
reached Miami safely.
A sailor from Marathon was
missing.

advisory said, "probably less.,

or northwesterly direction."
A HURRICANE watch was
in effect last night at 6
o'clock, with gale warnings
changed to storm warnings
from Melbourne northward to
Jacksonville. Gale warnings
were displayed from Melbourne south to Palm Beach.
Tides were increasing north
of the storm center, will
range up to 3 to 5 feet above
normal along the northeast
Florida coast and 1 to 3 feet
above normal along the South
Carolina and Georgia coast,
the center warned.
Local flooding along the
beaches with erosion is expected on the northeast Florida coast.
Highest winds last night
were 60 to 65 m.p.h., mostly
in the northeast quadrant of
the storm.
GALES EXTENDED 200
miles in the storm's eastern
semicircle, but gale force
winds were occurring mainly
in passing squalls over east
central and northeast portions
of the state.
"Abby is not expected to increase in intensity," the center said/ "However the prolonged northeasterly gales
and storm force winds from
Melbourne to Jacksonville increase the threat of serious
beach erosion and flooding of
low lying areas."
SMALL CRAFT around the
Florida Peninsula and on the
Georgia coast northward to
Cape Fear as well as in the
western Bahamas, were advised to remain in port.
Heavy rains continued in
the Cape Kennedy area near !
the storm center. Titusville
has had a storm total of 11

The Tampa Bay area, 150
miles west of Abby, continues
to feel her effects.
The Weather Bureau office
at Tampa warned small craft
to stay in port, predicting 15
to 30 m.p.h. north winds
today, briefly 40 m.p.h. in
showers.
Skies will remain cloudy
with scattered showers. A 50
per cent probability of precipitation is forecast.
Lawrence Dye, b u r e a u
chief, said N-NE winds yesterday averaged 18-19 m.p.h.,
with gusts to 41 m.p.h.
COMMENTING on an extensive high pressure system
over the central Atlantic coast
which could block Abby's
progress northward, he noted:
"There's nothing new about

hurricane season was only
two days old when Abby
popped up off the western tip
of Cuba Sunday as a tropical
depression. It quickly built
into 1968's first tropical
storm. It was only the 15th
tropical twister in 60 years to
appear so early.
The northeast edge of the
storm threw heavy rains

Beach to Melbourne and extended northward to Jacksonville.
At noon, Abby was reported
passing across the Florida
peninsula, near Zolfo Springs,
latitude 27.3 north and longitude 81.9 west, or about 50
miles southeast of Tampa.
Squalls and
bursts of heavy

rain extended outward mote
than 200 miles to the east and
south of the storm.
The weather bureau s a i d
Abby was moving in a northeasterly direction at about 9
miles per hour. She is expected to hit Daytona Beach before midnight.
WEATHERMEN said present conditions indicate that
Abby will t u r n northward,
skirt the coastline during the
night, and then move inland
again tomorrow.
Chances of a few tornadoes
in areas of heavy rain were
forecast in the noon advisory.
Abby's casualty toll also
dropped when a 34-foot sloop,
missing last night, sailed into
Flamingo at the southern tip
of the peninsula with its four
passengers safe and unharmed.ABBY yesterday claimed the
life of a Key West child and
was blamed for causing the
wreck of a commercial fishing boat in the state's southern waters. The skipper of
the boat is still missing.
At Cape Kennedy on the Atlantic coast, near where Abby
is expected to emerge from its
overland journey late tonight,
a funnel cloud was reported
but apparently did no damage.
Officials at the Cape said
they were "battened down"
for the storm's advance. Two
big rockets, a 141 foot Saturn
1B, that will be used to launch
the first manned Apollo spacecraft in September, and a 126foot Titan 3C, were clasped
firmly in their service towers.

WHILE
and Port Charlotte seemed to
be in the calm center of Abby's
"eye," Hillsborough County
was feeling the effects of the
hurricane's gale winds which
extended approximately 150
miles to the north and east of
the storm.
The U.S. Weather Bureau
at Tampa reported winds of
15 to 25 miles per hour and
gusts up to 35 miles per hour.
Rain continued throughout the
morning and on several occasions rain, driven by the
gusting winds, turned down-
town Tampa streets into riverbeds.
Despite what seemed to be
an "all night rain," the Tampa weather service reported
that they had recorded only
1.09 inches of rain at 7 a.m.

About 455 persons, some of

West Coast counties last night,
according to Roy Popkin, of

Similr precautions were taken at Port Sutton, and Steve

OCALA - Joe O'Farrell, a

ited with revolutionizing the
horse breeding industry, has
received special honors from
his alma mater, Washington
College in Maryland.
and part-owner of Ocala Stud
F a r m, was awarded an
alumni citation - the highest
award given by Washington
College's alumni association,
for notable achievement in a
chosen field.
O'Farrell has been given
much of the credit for bringing Florida up "fast and on
the outside" in a challenge to
Kentucky and California for
the title of number one horsebreeding state.
Back in 1956, when Florida's
only claim to racing fame was
four scenic tracks that attracted winter vacationers,
O'Farrell and other businessmen purchased the 1,000-acre
Ocala farm. O'Farrell, a scientific horse-breeder, said he
realized the potential of this

End Seen
To Rain
Tuesday
By ROD GIBSON
Herald Staff Writer
South Florida should recover from its wet Hurricane
Abby hangover late today or
sometime Tuesday as abnormally heavy rain conditions
move out of the area.
After the deluge on Sunday, the Miami International
A i r p o r t weather station
measured 2.99-inches of rain
for the 24-hour period ending
at 8 p.m.
Northern Palm Beach was
drenched Sunday with 6.75incdes of rain - just about
normal for the whole nionth
in Miami. The Keys was
about the only area in South
Florida which escaped the
heavy storm activity.
Rainfall for Dade County
so far In June totals 8.85inches, about 6.83-inches
more than usually falls in
Dade for the first nine days
of June. The normal is 7.37
for the whole month.
The record rainfall for
Dade County in June was in
1966 at 21.37-inches.
I It also has been a much
wetter yeat than usual 15.65 inches more than the
normal 34.23 inches usually
received by this time.
Although the summer
months are usually wet,
"with a shower about every
other day," a weather bur e a u meteorologist said,
Abby has been responsible
for most of the water this
month.
The tropical storm left a
m u c h-cooler-than-usual air
level in the upper atmosphere
which makes for heavy thunderstorms when coupled with
the moist, warm lower levels.
Today's weather can be
expected to be a repeat of
Sunday's, said the meteorologist. More heavy thunderstorms are expected with
winds 10 to 15 knots from
the southeast. "There will be
some sunshine, but not
much," he said.
As the showers decrease,
there will be longer periods
I in the day of hot weather.
