KINGSTON. Ont. Sept. 21- Lester B. (Mike) Pearson. newly- appolnted Minister of External Affairs, declared tonight that the risk of an outbreak of war is greater today than at any other time since the Second World War ended. -

In his first public address since his appointment last week, he told the Ontario Municipal Associat- ion's civic dinner that his opinion was based on p. “sober appreciat- ion" of current facts and terms.

War was by no means inevit- able. But it might break out at any time.

"The extent of this risk is in- calculabie but its existence cannot be denied," he told the 30 dele- gates attending the O,M.A.'s 50th annual convention.

“You would not wish me to preach a doctrine of sweetness and light when I do not feel that way. Nor, on the other hand, do I feel that we need fall into de- spair and assume that nothing can be done to save the situation. There is nothing inevitable in re- lations betnvcen states,

"Living, however, as we will in years ahead, in an atmosphere of international tension, punctuated by recurrent crises, we and our friends in the other western dem- ocracies will need steady ilervcs and stunt hearts. We will need to be iuishakcn in our determination to pursue a consistent, firm and z unpravocativn foreign policy against

any power or group of powers iuvhich threatens world pence, In llhe pursuit of such a pCll('y lies iour best hope for the future." i, Speaking of the Uiulccl Nations ‘Assembly, ‘lust. opened in Paris. [Mn Pearson said the fllllife nf U.N, will be greatly nffcclcd for good or evil by what happens nt the meetings.

MIAMI, Fla. Sept. in. —(AP)-- A temperamental tropical hurric- ane battered the town of Ever- glades with IOU-mile winds tonight and left at least two dead in South Florida.

The Federal Storm 'WlI‘nlIlg service said it appeared the storm was moving slower than earlier re- ports indicated and its centre moved close to the fishing town on the southwest. coast around mid- night, about two hours after it had been expected to pass.

Winds at Miami ranged up to hurricane force in gusts. The high- est was 82 miles at the airport.

Key West, 175 miles south of Miami, was raked by winds reach- ing an extreme reported velocity of 160 miles an hour.

Mrs. Ben J. Kincaid, 56, of Coconut Grove. a Miami suburb. was killed when she touched a fallen live wire in the backyard of llel‘ heme.

il/illiaim John Evans, 46. en- glneer of the Tatum Hotel, was killed when he was blown off thc roof to a sun deck five floors be- low.

Hurricane winds extend about 60 miles to the east of the stonm centre and 40 miles to the west. the Weather Bureau said. Gales extend outward 150 miles to the east and northeast.

Grady Norton, chief storm fore- caster here. said the storm center pulled abreast of Miami at 8:45 p. m, and the "worst is over here."

The fishing town of Evezglades was in the eye of the disturbance as it crossed the coastline.

"We have no word from Ever- giadcs City." snld Norton.

Mlalni was raked for hours by winds of 50 to 55 miles an hour with gusts ranging beyond hur- ricane fozce of 75 miles an hour. Heavy rain fell.

The storm headed in the direct- ion of Lake Okeechobee. Norton] said its centre may pass directly nvcr the lake or just to the west:

it.

"The hurricane is over land now and it can be expected that it will lose force until it passes over water again." said Norton. '

The immensely rich Florida citrus groves with millions of orange- grapefruit and tangerine trees apparently were in for a heavy tossing. Losses will run into millions of dollars if thrcitrus crop i; hard hit.

By ALAN HARVEY PARIS. Sept, 21—-(CP)-Tlie ‘United Btatcs backed Count Folke Bernadette‘: plan for an enforced Palestine settlement as the third General Assembly of the United Nations opened today.

The action, announced by State secretary Marshall, aroused im- mediate opposition from the Arabs who said they would reopen the Palestine situation in th‘ Assem-

bly.

Bernadotws final report recol- nized the existence of Israel as s state, said its boundaries must be fixed by the Unit/tel Ndtlons if the Jews and Arabs could not alree on them and declared peace must be imposed in Palestine by any possible means. It recommended revision of the boundaries set forth in the original partition plan. -

The Assembly, devoting its first session to organization, elected Dr. Herbert Evatt, Australian Dep- uty Prime Minister. as president after a close race with Dr. Juan Atllio Bramulgla. Argentine For- eign Minister.

Dr. Evait, virtually assured of election before the Argentine drive gathered momentum, was elected on the second bailni. The vole was 3i to 20 with 29 needed for election.

One of the first delegated to enter the Assembly was Prime Minister Mackenzie King, head o! the Canadian delegation. He reached the greet white Palals do challlot a half-hour ‘before the opening of the session.

French warplanes traced the letters "UNO" in a flawless aut- umn sky as a new act started in the world political drama. Nearly 2.000 persons crowded into the As- sembly hall.

Outside the Assembly meetina. the mreign Ministers of Britain. the Unltedhtates and France met for the second time in two days to map their next move in the battle with Russia. over Berlin.

This problem involves the basic issue of east-west differences which is the major concern of the delegates to the world oriauisat- ion.

But Pdlestlne clearly dominated the day's Assembly proceedings. The body of Count Bernadette, United Nation! mediator in Pales- tine, killed by assassins in Jerus- alem Friday, passed through Paris en route to Sweden lust- a few houris before the Assembly con- vened.
