Eight persons were killed when a row of violent storms ripped across Ohio and western Pennsylvania Sunday, leaving more than one-half million dollars of
damage.
Two of the dead were counted at Sharon. Pa., where a tree toppled on the roof of a shelte! housing 80 persons at a reunion party. Fifty-seven of the guest; were treated for injuries. Storms, triggered by an invading cool front, hit hardest in northern Ohio. Winds up to 75 miles per hour flattened power and telephone lines in the Cleve-
land area.
Emergency highway and utility crews were called out to clea v roads strewn with debris and restore power and telephone service to stricken sections of the two states. Ohio state police estimated damage in northern Ohio amounted to nearly a quarter oi a million dollars. The cold front sweeping down from Canada dropped temperatures and brought rain as fa* south as Texa3. San Angelo, Tex., was drenched in a 5-inch rainfall while rains o. more than 2 inches fell over the Texas Panhandle, north anu northwest Texas. WASHINGTON, (UP;—President Eisenhower said today education holds more hope for the United Stites and the world than any other single thing. The President made the statement to a group of 22 Negro | beauty queens and their sponsors * in the White House rose garden.

IKE WILL GO
TO CONVENTION
ON TUESDAY
WASHINGTON (UP) President Eisenhower plans to fly to San Francisco Tuesday, a day earlier than originally announced, to “visit and meet" with delegates to the Republican Nations’ Convention. There was some speculation that Mr. Eisenhower wanted to sound out the delegates on the controversial GOP vice presidential nomination. But an authoritative source said the President merely felt his arrival on Wednesday “after it was all over” would make him “almost isolated” from the convention. "He just wanted to be there, to get the feel of it and meet the
manner. Even thf
They’ were night to en

and , people,” the source said. White House News Secretary James C. Hagerty made pub’ic the President’s decision to leave i a day early at a specially-called I news conference Sunday. Ho j said Mr. Eisenhower will leave here at noon Tuesday aboard his plane, the Columbine III, and arrive in San Francisco at 9:30 p.
m. EDT.
Although the President is flying in the Columbine for security reasons, the GOP National Committee will pick up the tab for the flight. Because the trip is for political reasons, the Air |
"dly in the old grand fireworks fizzled, scheduled Sunday a big parade wel-
coming Republicans to San Francisco. However, at ihe big moment it was announced: "The fireworks are being saved to honor San Francisco's merst
important guest.”
That would be President Eisenhower. He won't be here till
Tuesday night.
Maybe there'll be fireworks in the Cow Palace in the "dump
Nixon” effort.

with the thought of helping the new officers to perform their duties more efficiently. All persons interested in P. T. A. organiztaions are welcome to attend..
aided by a consultative body of user nations which would have only advistory functions. The plan was laid before the 22-nation Suez conference by V. K.

strategic waterway.
At first glance, the Indian plan appeared to fall far short of
what the West wants.
