SAVANNAH, Ga. —- Waning
irricane David, counting a death
lofmorethan 1,000 and damage
COs excess of $1 billion in its rampage
ough the Caribbean and the At
tic, moved through South
rolina Wednesday on a path ex-
to spread torrential rain to
fringe of Appalachia.
|e storm swept by virtually
beaches when it roared
lore east of Savannah Tuesday,
* [day after its trek along Florida’s
coast killed one person and left
age estimated at more than $50
ion.
At midnight EDT, weather
coasters said the storm, born only
lays ago in a mid-Atlantic tropi-
depression, was 40 miles due
st of Charleston with peak winds
75 mph — minimal hurricane
ength — only where it trailed
open water. The map coordi-
es were latitude 32.9 north and
ide 80.9 west,

dthe storm was moving just east
due north at about 10 mph, a
iktaking it past Columbia, S.C.,
eresome gale-force gusts of wind
ire reported late Tuesday, into
foothills of the Appalachian
luntains near Charlotte, N.C.
lainfall amounts of between 1
3 inches were reported late
esday as far inland as Augusta,
, but little serious flooding was
Tybee Island, 18 miles east of
Savannah, hurled trees through the
air like matchsticks, according to
Jack Acuff of radio station WSGA.
Acuff said one 30-foot tree hurtled
through the air over his station, “the
most fantastic thing I ever saw.”
Centuries-old oak trees in the city’s
historic section also were toppled by
the winds.
Fifteen-foot waves slammed into
the seawall at Tybee Island and
sprayed 30 feet into the air.
“We lost a lot of beach,” said
Tybee Island Mayor Mike Couni-
han. “I don’t know what we ll do
about that. It won’t hurt business
because our season’s just about
over.”
Most of the people were gone ex
cept for two soldiers who remained
at their lighthouse post, keeping the
beacon flashing.
Spec. 4 Ralph Berry of New
Straitsville, Ohio, said he was famil
iar with storms in his native Mid
west, but he said, “This is the worst
I’ve ever seen.”
Electric power was knocked out
for much of the area, including the
city of Savannah, but stranded
travelers at the posh DeSoto Hilton
Hotel were entertained by pianist
John Engren who played waltzes on
a grand piano in the lobby.
At nearby Hilton Head Island,
S.C., another oceanfront playg
round, a motel security guard said
waves were topping the dunes and
pushing water within 5 feet of the
motel swimming pool.
He said there were some broken
windows, but no reports of injuries.
In Charleston, the storm surge
sent water crashing over the bat
tery, a long seawall where in 1861,
citizens watched the firing on Fort
Sumter in Charleston Harbor.

United Press International
NEW YORK — Dr. Ernst Wyn-
der, an epidemiologist who first
linked cigarettes and lung cancer,
said Wednesday a low-fat diet might
result in reducing certain kinds of
cancer, including cancer of the
breast.
He recommended the entire
population endorse a diet with
lower fat intake and research into
the possibility that low-fat diets
combined with current therapy
might increase survival rates for
cancer victims — particularly those
limited to breast cancer and nodes.
Wynder, president of the Ameri
can Health Foundation, brought up
low-fat diets when reporting on
“risks of breast cancer” at a National
Breast Cancer Teach-In sponsored
by the American Cancer Society.
“It would be prudent for the
entire population to endorse a diet
with lower fat intake — particulary
since it may lead to a reduction of
certain kinds of cancer, such as
cancer of the breast, ” he said.
