Storm thrashes Philippines
By United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — Ramapaged floods unleashed by tropical storm June hampered relief efforts yesterday in the northern Philippines, where landslides and neck-deep waters left at least 28 people dead and hundreds of thousands homeless.
President Ferdinand Marcos declared 21 provinces disaster areas in the wake of the storm, granting powers to emergency responders to allocate emergency supplies.
June, which hit a group of tiny islands off the northernmost tip of the archipelago Wednesday, churned up yesterday packing 62 mph winds.
BUT HEAVY RAINS still pounded the northern coast of the Philippines, and a second tropical storm — Ike — was brewing in the Pacific and expected to affect weather over the Philippines as early as today.

Among the casualties were a family of five crushed to death when a landslide flattened their home and a 20-year-old man swept away by floodwaters as he tried to save a diving pig, PNA reported.
At least 28 people were killed, 207 were injured and eight declared missing in two days of landslides and flooding unleashed on June, according to reports compiled from the Red Cross, the Office of Civil Defense and the state-run Philippine News Agency.
The Red Cross reported that the storm 'affected' 330,660 people in 55,110 families. Those were people who either lost their homes or sources of livelihood and needed relief aid, according to the Red Cross.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Two Iranian air force pilots flew a U.S.-made F-4 Phantom jettifier yesterday to an airfield outside Baghdad and asked Iraqi authorities for political asylum, the Iraqi News Agency said.
"An Iranian warplane landed in one of Iraq's military airfields today," INA said, quoting a military communique monitored in Beirut.
INA DID NOT IDENTIFY the men or say from where in Iran the pilots had defected.

Iraq said an Iranian couple had hijacked the plane Tuesday to escape persecution by the Islamic government of Ayatollah Ruhullah Khomeini. The Iraqi government granted asylum to the air pirates, who pretended to have explosives to hijack the plane.
The defection came two days after an Iranian Airbus jetliner with 206 Iranians aboard was hijacked to Baghdad.
Iraq denied the charges and said Iraq tour guides yesterday had shown the Iranian passengers Baghdad's tourist attractions.

WHAT EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEASING A TELEPHONE AND LEASING A CHICKEN.
Yes, there are differences. And we think you should know what they are. Ask yourself these questions.
WHEN YOU LEASE A
CHICKEN, DO YOU
GET THREE MONTHS
FREE DURING
THE SUMMER?
Probably not. But when you lease your telephone from AT&T this fall, you won't pay any lease charges next summer. You can use your phone at home, and bring it back to school in the fall.
DO LEASED CHICKENS COME IN A SELECTION OF COLORS AND STYLES? No. Chickens don't come in many colors. But the AT&T telephone you lease this fall comes in a variety of colors and three popular styles.
ARE LEASED CHICKENS REPAIRED FREE?
Don't kid yourself. Repairing a chicken is a delicate process that requires the work of expensive professionals. However, in the off chain

DOES IT COST THE SAME
TO LEASE A CHICKEN AS
TO LEASE A TELEPHONE
THIS FALL?

of our AT&T Phone Centers.
Hardly. While we have no hard data on the exact cost of leasing a chicken, we can tell you with some certainty that the cost of leasing a telephone this fall is far less than you might think. The decision to lease a chicken or a telephone, of course, rests with you. But should you opt for the telephone, remember: you get three months free next summer, and you can take the phone home with you. There's a choice of colors and styles, free repair, and we'll skip you the phone.

It doesn't cost much either. And that's something to crow about.
