Officials Report No

Crisis Here—Yet

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, May 10 (UP)—A possible spread of the national oil strike to California was averted temporarily today | when the CIO Oil Workers Union| received instructions from inter-

national headquarters to hold oft

Only ‘in Detroit, Toledo, Springfield, Ill, and Madison, Wis., was there any real shortage. And even in those cities, motorists could get gas if they shopped around a bit. Obviously, it the, strike. is prolonged, Indianapolis and the rest of the nation will suffer, oil men sald. But officials here were relying on conservation Hy gas users and the reopening of the Rock Island refinery to stave off a famine for some time.

Local 5 of the oll union, were due to walk out at 11 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) today, and the company already had begun preparations to shut down the plant. At the last minute, however, Virgil Coragliotti, secretarytreasurer of the union, said he received instructions to hold off the strike because of Tuesday's meeting with the Wage Stabilization Board. A new order for large service stations and gasoline storage depots to reserve 5 per cent of their gasoline for possible emergency use by fire engines, police cars and ambulancef went into effect in 32 states at 3:10 a. m. Indianapolis time. States aftected include: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,

New York, North Carolina, South "2 Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Vir-|,

ginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and the District

The order, issued by Bruce K. Brown, deputy administrator of the Petroleum Administration for Defense (PAD), came after an unofficial government survey showed the nationwide oil strike has reduced the nation's petroleum products output by about one-third.

War Veterans

Hold Reunion

Spanish-American war veterans of the 27th Indiana Light Artillery Battery met here today at the home of the “youngster” of their outfit. Their host was D., B. Darnell, 2500 8. Lyndhurst Dr., whom they jokingly refer to as the “baby of the bunch.” Mr. Dar-! nell is 76,

The occasion was their 54th an. |

nual reunion. Fifteen men from the 40 survivors of the original battery of 177 men registered. Mr. Darnell is their secretarytreasurer and Harry A, Callon, Mt. Vernon, is president and the oldest survivor. He is 85, From a dis came Forest Furnas, Oaklgnd, ‘Cal, James Cox, Phoenix, Ariz, and Earl Wite, Waterloo, Mr. Dagnell, also a veteran of

hundred people. The town of Shirley on the

| Hancock-Henry county line was

| hardest hit, Damage there was

hr at $20,000.

As the twister moved eastward, it touched land north of Philajdelphia in Hancock County and

on farms in the Philadelphia area. At Shirley, the winds ripped off roofing and scattered objects (ranging from bottles and bricks [to construction shacks and ga‘rages. The Masonic Building, Moorman Feed Store and Shirley Lumber Co. were damaged. It

also damaged the house of Earl ® Kiser and a service station owned §

by Keith White,

Here in Indianapolis the twist{er caused only minor damage but it was an electrifying sight to the persons who saw it start as a small funnel in the 1200 block of N. Shadeland Ave. Typical comments: Cecil Bruther, 1208 Edgewood Place: “I saw it coming from the west. It was funnel shaped and the: wind was strong. It moved my car forward and sideward two feet. As soon as I knew ft was a twister, I thought it was about time to go to the basement. 86 I ¢alled my wife and

wre girth and ow the way down

the basement steps I looked out a window and saw the twister §0 by. At that time my house felt as though it was going to cave in.”

Mrs, Charles E, Mosiman, 1201 HE. Edgewood Place: “It was a freakish storm. It hit our house and two others close by, but didn't do anything to the rest of them around us. I was in the basement when it hit. I didn’t see the twister itself, but I did see the trees bending over and shingles flying through the afr. It sounded like a low roar—a train in the distance.

“I heard the house creak and I thought for sure it was going to blow away. The winds were 80 strong our girage was twisted 80 that we cant shut the doors. It broke one of our storm windows and. tossed a swing we had in the back yard about 30 feet over into the next yard, “I didn’t like it very much.” John Sheehan, 1232 Edgewood Drive—“At first I thought it was smoke from a fire, but when I saw|, lumber and limbs of trees through the air I then realized it was a tornado. I took for the basement and met my wife and two children starting down the basement steps.” Jerome Rafferty, 1202 Edgewood Driyve—'"Never witnessed anything
