By Fred lhmplon

Communist authorities in typhoon- lashed Shanghai today began or- ganizing the clearing of silt, mud and wreckage left by the worst storm here since i915. ‘The loll: at least 29 dead, 33 injured, pos- sibly 200,000 homeless.

The typhoon churned in across the East China Sea Simday. Shanghai was deluged with 3.94 inches of rain. in 25 hours. Water up to aix feet deep surged through the streets.

A tenement collapsed in the crowded Chapel district, killing at least 14 persons. In downtown shanghai a. three-storey restaurant and an old hotel caved in. Com- munist authorities said more than half the huts making up lower residential areas in north-side dis- tricts were destroyed. .

High winds ripped down trees and power linas. Short circuits started fires in which l0 persons perished. Five were electrocuted by fallen wires.

Despite Shanghai's heavy dam- age, it is behaved tho typhoonls greatest havoc was in surrounding agricultural areas. Acres oi truck gardens were destroyed or damag- ed. In the lower Yangtze valley, the rice crop, within 40 days of harvest time, was hard hit.

Meanwhile. another typhoon movnd toward Japan after passing Iwo Jima. If it keeps up its pre- sent direction and intensity, it is expected to hit Shikoku Island in southwestern Japan or the dense-

-populated Kobe-Osaka ares. of Honshu, farther northeast.
