Tornadoes Hit Middle West

By Catted Press International Tornadoes and lashing rains blacked out farm belt towns and sent flood waters swirling through city suburban streets in the Middle West today. The tornado-hit towns of Windjester. 111., and Jasper. Mo., were without power. Four persons were injured by the Winchester twister and the Jasper power station was smashed. Elsewhere in the midwestern a, storm belt, flooded roads slowed rush hour traffic in the Detroit area. Heavy rains pushed rivers out of their banks in Indiana and Buffalo, N.Y., recorded the wettest April in its history. The twisters and torrents sprang from a stagnant storm front stretching from Texas to New England. It spread a bitter mixture of fog, subnormal temperatures, hail, rains and high winds across a vast area of the nation’s eastern half. Snow hi North Dakota tn the West, high winds drifted a 9-inch snowfall in North Dakota and more April snows bent budding branches on bushes and trees through Colorado and Wyoming. Denver measured 3 inches of snow and Eagle and Leadville, Coo., 2 inches. Tornadoes touched down Monday night and today in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Michigan. The Winchester tornado in central Illinois Monday night turned out the lights for 1,600 persons. Since the town's* water pump is electrically powered, the only water available in Winchester was the supply left in the community’s tower. A fireman was injured fighting a tornado-caused blaze at Winchester and a couple was hurt when the winds picked up their house trailer into a parked car. A youth was cut by flying glass. The twister barrage continued into the early morning hours in southwestern Missouri and struck hardest at Jasper, a community of 750. Winds Hurl Barn The twisting winds picked up a y barn and hurled it into the Empire District Electric Co. station. Insulators and bushings on transformers were smashed and a 69,000-volt feeder line connecting with the Missouri Public Service Co. went out. There were no injuries in town, but the roof of the high school building was gone. The-little town of Mampleton, Kan., also lost its power, and communications and travel in rural areas around Prescott, Kan., were all but impassible. On the eastern wing of the storm front, hail-laced rain was measured at an inch in the Detroit. Grand Rapids, and Muskegon, Mich., areas. Indiana’s Wabash and White rivers were pouring over their banks. HKup sth pgh: In the Woman Finds We Are Ignorant FEMININE HORIZON . By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A retired woman school principal who took a meandering, uncharted trip around the world in fulfillment of > golden years dream, has ' returned with a frightening conclusion: Americans are not well educated people. Mrs. Rose Thompson, who retired a year ago as an Indianapolis grade school principal, has just returned from the sort of trip she had hoped to make —but not with the conclusions she had expected to reach. "I came back angry. I came back feeling ignorant. We Americans have everything with which to work. Yet the 17 and 18 year olds I met on my trip were more cognizant of world affairs and more able to participate in multilevel conversations than most -adultsl have met in my own country.” Takes Her Time Mrs. Thompson’s dream was to start traveling by whatever locomotion was available, and move from one place to another without the necessity of meeting any time schedule. ”1 rode on freighters, liners, planes, trains, cars, buses, camels, donkeys—and I walked,” she said. The method took more time than most people think they can allow—about 7 months. A disappointed American tourist at the Parthenon in Athens complained be didn’t meet anybody but other American tourists. "Why don’t you take off that vicuna coat and quit riding in a taxi. Try walking,” Mrs. Thompson said she told the tourist. "I had been told that everybody hates us Americans in foreign countires,” Mrs. Thompson remarked. “I never felt that But I did have to listen many times while I was told what was wrong with our foreign policy.” The concensus on that subject was that about the first television debate

our foreign policy changes with each change in administration, she said. A Scottish girl in a Copehhagen beauty shop voiced an opinion

Finds Genuine Interest "Everywhere I found a genuine interest in the United States, based on a considerable knowledge about us,” Mrs. Thompson said.. The retired Negro educator, daughter of a lawyer, felt that her race and background gave her a fresh and realistic vantage from which “to see ourselves as others see us.”

lEichmann Is I ■■ . I Accused As Fanatic Killer JERUSALEM (UPI) - Adolf Eichmann was accused from the

grave today of befog a fanatic killer of Jews but a "coward” who never took any action Until he had confirmation from his superior officers. The prosecution at the trial of the man accused of exterminating six million Jews read into the record a deposition made by one of Eichmann’s former close friends and colleagues — Dieter Wisliceny, who was hanged as a war criminal in 1947. The statement was made in return for a promise that his family would be

■ jiirotected. Eichmann, entering the third week of his trial, was impassive ’ as she heard Wisliceny’s words read into the record. The table i in his bullet-proof glass box was piled high today with documents from which orange index slips stuck out. Defense counsel Robert Servatius told United Press International Monday that Eichmann was working late in his cell and was making valuable contributions to his own case. Servatius fought hard to ex-

clude the Wisliceny affidavit from the court record, contending it was motivated by a desire to get revenge against Eichmann. But the court overuled him, and Attorney General Gideon Hausner began reading the accusation from the grave. “Eichmann was an extremely important factor in the extermination of the Jews,” it said. “He himself was a coward who never did anything without written confirmation from above. He kept all

notes, generaly signed by Himmler and Kaltenbrunner :nazi Police Chief Henrich Himmler and SS General Ernst Kaltenbrunner). Eichmann was cynical with regard to the Jewish problem. He was not immoral because he was completely devoid of morality. He was adamant with regard to the Jews. He said: I’ll jump into my grave laughing because the fact that I have five million Jews on my cobscience gives me extraordinary satisfaction’.”
