Scouts safe
<N.Z. Preu Aiioclalloni WELLINGTON, Aug. 6. All New Zealand scouts, at the world jamboree in Japan Were safe and sound this afternoon, the Prime Minister (Sir Keith Hdlyoake) said today. A Reuter report from Japan said 23,000 scouts had to leave the site at Asagiri Heights because of a typhoon. A message this afternoon from the New-Zealand Ambassador in Tokyo (Mr R. H. Wade) said the Embassy and the Tokyo office of the Meat Board had each had several telephone conversations with the contingent leaders. Sir Keith Holyoake paid. The main problem seemed to be rain rather than wind, as the centre of the typhoon had passed well to the west. The campsite was reported to be knee-deep in mud, and would take days to dry out
