Deadly Tornadoes ! Rarely Repeaters Strike Area Only Qnce In 5,000 Years MILTON, Mass., UP — An area “leveled by a tornado isn’t apt to Jf’t hit by another devastating one tor at least 5,000 years. And that figure for New Eng? land, where tornadoes are rare, is 20,00 V years, a noted meteorologist said today. Dr. Charles Brooks, director of Harvard’s Blue Hill meteorological observatory, said the 5,000 years applies to the tornado-belt in the! midwest. Statistics show. Brooks said, that death-dealing twisters will occur in a giveii area, there only once in 5,000 years and, in a few cases, once in every 10,60(F years. He said tornadoes, generally

I-speaking, don't strike twice in J the same place, at least with the same fury. But there are exceptions. he said, like the three tbrnadoes that struck .Codel!,- Kan., three successive years on or about the same day. Brooks said New England has one or two twisters a year. But most of these are of the harmless variety; Again there was an ex-ception--the tornado that hit the Worcester* Mass., area June 9 with a loss of 93 liVes. Brooks acknowledged tiiat tornadoes remain one of the “greatest challenges” in man’s fight against the destructive powers of nature. He Said scientists still are unable to tornadoes like they do the daily weather. And; he said, tornado clouds can not be pinpointed. 't'he best weathermen can do, he said, i? to warn of tornado conditions in a limited area so residents can be prepared. Broods said the weather bureau, the air force and scientists are

Meat Dealers Say Beef Prices Lower Statement Issued By Meat Institute CHICAGO, UP — The American meat institute Xsaid today that wholesale and] retail beef prices are 18 to 33 percent lower than last year. “Contrary to some erroneous charges wfaich have been made recently, consumers are benefiting fully from the lower cattle prices prevailing now,” tlje institute said. The meat institute, which represents meat packers: issued- its statement in reply to demands for a congressional investigation of the. price situation. Critics , have charged that retail food prices have failed to follow the decline of prices paid to farmers and producers. The institute said the drop in wholesale and retail beef prices is almost Identical with the decline in cattle prices, which range from 17 tp 32 percent lower than a year ago. “Prime grade steers sold for 28.6 cents a pound Sept. 14 at Chicago as compared with 34.6 cents a pound a year ago. for a 17. percent decrease,” the institute said. > “Prime grade beef for the same period declined 18 'percent at wholesale, falling from 54 cents a pound to 44.5 cents.” At retail, the institute cited bureau of labor statistics shorwing that the price of round steak in Chicago stores dropped 18 peA-ent. from |1.05 a pound in August, 1952, to 86.3 cents per pound. making some strides toward predictions of tornadoes over larger areas. But none of these has reached the point where they can be forecast days ahead, like hurricanes. Brooks said scientists aren’t positive just* how much wind is generated by a big tornado. Instru- t Unents that measure wind velocity are knocked out by tornadoes. The winds that hit Worcester, he said, have been estimated up to 300 miles per hour.
