Betsy Damage Is Great

In New OrleansAndArea

NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Hurrt- eane Betsy smote this city of carnival joy with possibly its

. @Peatest natural disaster’ Fri- day.

Beisy wasied away into a tropical storm over northeastern Louisiana late Friday after claiming 11 lives—six in Florida,

four in Louisiana and one in Mississippi—during its erratic; 2,500-mile life.

Betsy—generating wind up to 150 miles an hour and pushing flood tides‘ before it—devastated sugar can* crops, smashed New Orleans and its far flung sub- urbs and spilled into Mi sissip- pi's Gulf of Mexico coast.

... Viewing the disaster, officials could not estimate the damage that’ runs into untold millions of dollars.

Nearly 250,000 persons fled Louisiana and Mississippi lov. lands, taking shelter at hun-

dreds of hastily-set-up refugee! centres.

This gigantic exodus

contributed materially to the surprising smal! loss of iife.

This fun-loving seaport city bore the brunt of Betsy's fury.

| Radio appeals urged everyone to boil drinking water.

The city’s water: system, sup- plying the needs of nearly 1,000,- 000 persons; was threatened with contamination from. power fail- ure in its purification. plant Smashed store fronts and bro- ken glass littered Canal St -Fallen oaks blocked many streets. Phone and electric serv- ices were crippled. The Roman Catholic St. Louis Basilica on Jackson Square, ‘a tourist land-

mark in the French Quarter, was damaged. Only a few city bu-es re-

The milder —Arab resolution, | which urged an end to U.S. air bombardment and negotiations | fo restore peace, won more sup- port than the tough Soviet draft on ‘the aggression of the U.S. in Viet Nam.”

A total of 350 delegates voted against the Arab resolution, 194) supported it and 98 abstained.

Vote on the Soviet resolution | was 411 against, 134 for’ and 175 abstentions;

The council of the union ad- vised delegates before each vote that it didn’t support the draft resolutions.

Applause followed an Arab delegate's plea that an end to bombardment in Viet Nam would be a sign of good will that could pave the way to peace.
