TYPHOON KILLS 40
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) MANILA, July 1. Casualties from Typhoon Winnie—one of the worst storms to hit Manila—today rose to 40 dead and 275 injured.
The number of homeless rose to almost 400,000 in cities and provinces of central Luzon Island. Manila declared a state of calamity. The city of 2m is without light, power and water 36 hours after the typhoon roared in from the Pacific with 90-mile winds on Monday night. Public transportation was restored this morning and the city choked with cars and buses again. Most firms and stores re-opened and most residents appeared for work.
The Manila International Airport was opened to international traffic after a 36-hour suspension.
The Philippines Navy said the destroyer escort Rajah Soliman capsized and sank at the Mariveles Shipyard in Bataan Province, just across Manila Bay.
The Swedish freighter Nordvind got away from shallow waters off Manila’s famed Dewey Boulevard but two other small freighters were still grounded and awaiting higher tide.
