Tornadoes hit

South, Midwest

Showers and thunderstorms throwing off 50-mile-an-hour winds and hail followed Easter Sunday tornadoes into sections of the South and Midwest today. The nation otherwise enjoyed warm and clear spring weather, the U.S. Weather Bureau said. Showers • and locally heavy thundershowers pounded an area from the lower Great Lakes to the western Carolinas and eastern Mississippi, soaking Chattanooga, Tenn., with nearly IV2 inches of rain in six hours. From one-half to two-thirds inch rains were reported in

Mario Andretti of Nazareth, Pa., now a car owner as well as one of the nation’s outstanding race drivers, filed three entries today for this year’s Indianapolis 500-mile race under the sponsorship of Overseas Nat-

ional Airways.

Andretti named himself as the driver of a new car with a 168-inch turbocharged Ford engine. The other two cars, also owned by Andretti Racing Enterprises, were built last year. One of them also will have a turbocharged Ford engine, but the other will rely on a 256inch non-supercharged Ford unit. Clint Brawner and Jim McGee will be co-mechanics on the three cars, as they were last year while associated with

Andretti as members of the Dean Van Lines racing team prior

to A1 Dean’s death.

Announcement concerning sponsorship of the three cars was made Jointly by Andretti and G.F. Steedman Hinckley, president of the Overseas company which operates a fleet of alljet charter planes with headquarters at New York’s Kennedy International Airport. Andretti has compiled one of the most enviable records in racing since passing his driver’s test at Indianapolis as a 1965 rookie. He broke the onelap and four-lap qualifying records that year, finished third in the race, earned special recognition as the Stark-Wetzel “Rookie of the Year” and fin-

Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK (UPI)—Standard and Poor’s feels that the investment climate has been dramatically improved by new peace hopes and says a Vietnam settlement reduce monetary problems considerably. “Although some periodic reactions may be ahead,” the firm adds, “a more aggressive buying policy is justified for long-term investors.”

Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. Thunderstorms in the upper Ohio Valley kicked up strong winds and hail. Pittsburgh, Pa., reported wind gusts of up to 55 miles an hour. Winds clocked at 54 m.p.h. screeched through Mansfield, Ohio, and 52 m.p.h. winds cut through Charleston, W.Va. In the other large rain area on the north Pacific Coast, Astoria, Ore., received more than one-half inch of rain in six hours and small hail was reported in the northwest corner of Washington state. Early morning temperatures ranged from 27 at Concord, N.H., to 74 at Blythe, Calif. At 2 a.m. EST, it was 43 and cloudy at Boston and New York City, 44 and clear at Detroit, and 40 and clear at Denver. A cold front moving eastward Sunday touched off tornadoes, thunderstorms, hail and strong winds from Michigan to Texas. Snow and cold marred outdoor religious services and Easter parades from the Rockies to the Great Lakes, and twisters tore through Indiana and southern Michigan. At least three tornadoes ripped through Hoosier country, causing damage to farm buildings and barns and a high school near Wabash, Ind. A tornado ripped the roofs from two barns and uprooted trees in Michigan’s sanilac, but like the Indiana twisters did not cause injury.

Bache & Co. suggests that the market is assuming that the United States and Vietnam want to talk and want to agree. “Using this assumption,” the analyst comments, “we must adhere to our conviction that the market has entered a new bullish phase and that periods of decline should be used for accumulation purposes.”

The Indicator Digest says that until something happens “to upset the peace apple cart, the

Viet War Bride

Adjusting to Life in U.$.A.

HARDIN, Mont. (UPI)—Her name means snow, but she never had seen the white crystals until she came to the United States from war-torn South Vietnam. Mrs. Anh Tuyet (Ann Snow) Johnson, 20, was working in a Saigon dress shop when she met her husband, Danny Johnson, 22, formerly of Boulder, Colo. He was serving with the Army. The pair was married in 1967, in a civil ceremony in Saigon, after Johnson was discharged. The U.S.A. was a new world for the young Vietnamese girl —a world of sewing machines, automatic washers, supermarkets and speeding cars. But Tuyet wasn’t completely taken in. She wasn’t convinced the automatic washers cleaned as well as her hand scrubbing, and she said the supermarkets didn’t have the variety of fresh produce found in the Saigon markets. ‘•She expected all the women to be as beautiful as the ones she saw In the movies,” Johnson said. “And she was surprised to see that people were so big.” Asked about the war, Mrs. Johnson said. “I have seen many people die. I have seen many bad things.” She said she remembered her father saying there had been fighting in Vietnam since 1945 — three years before she was born. Tuyet said she was concerned about the recent fighting in Saigon because her parents were there. But she has received a letter from her mother saying the family was well. The family home at Chau Dok. near the Cambodian border, had been destroyed. “It was a small house,’’ Mrs. Johnson said. “We were poor but we were happy and we loved each other.”

public mood will be the guiding factor” of the market. “Peace,” the firm reminds, “will not help the balance of payments deficit very much; we still had massive deficits before the Vietnam campaign ever began. But contrary to most opinions, it will be bullish instead of bearish when it finally happens, because international trade will revive and flourish as never before.”

ional driving champion.

His 1965 qualifying records were broken later the same day by the late Jim Clark and A.J. Foyt. Andretti, however, set new records in both 1966 and 1967 to earn the No. 1 starting position in each of the last two races; and he holds the present one-lap and four-lap marks of 169.779 and 168.982, respect-

ively.

He won the USAC driving title for the second time in 1966, finsihed second in the national standing last year and now has 17 USAC championship car race victories to his credit. The three entries today increased the official list to 51 cars and Speedway President Tony Hulman will accept additional entries postmarked prior to the deadline at midnight of April 15. Daily practice sessions will be permitted, beginning May 1. Time trials to determine starting positions on Race Day will be held on the week-ends of May 18-19 and May 25-26. Only the 33 fastest cars and drivers will be eligible for the “flying start” behind the Ford Torino pace car at 11 a.m. (EST) on May 30.

Always Be a Peerage

LONDON (UPI)—One of the drawbacks of living in an ancestral castle is that the place is usually so big that if you put something down somewhere you might not run across it again for a year or so. Another is that you are liable to owe the sovereign—in this case Queen Elizabeth — a feudal duty such as presenting her with a snowball when she calls. And what do you do if she calls in midsummer? The Duke of Argyll mentions these admittedly minor snags to the formidable prestige of his many honors (from Chief of the Clan Campbell to Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland) in a new book about Britain’s still flourishing upper class. “The Aristocrats” (Weidenfeld and Nicholson). Thirty years ago the Duke had 16 maids and six manservants to help look after his seat. Inveraray Castle. Now he and his American duchess < the former Mathilda Mortimer of Litchfield, Conn.) make do with a temporary butler, a cook and a daily cleaning woman. Argyll’s domain has 96,000 acres, his castle has 84 rooms. “If you absent-mindedly put a book down just anywhere It

simply disappears,” he said. “You can spend 18 months looking for it. Really, it’s happened. The amount of time we spend looking for things is quite unbelievable.” As Hereditary Sheriff of Argyllshire, the Duke said, his duties include greeting the Queen with a rose and a handful of snow taken from the top of Cruachan, a hill that is also the war cry of the Campbells. “On the last visit we couldn't manage the snow,” he said. Healthy State Author Roy Perrott spent a year investigating the aristocracy and found that despite frequent obituary notices the peerage and the Landed Gentry (usually aristocrats without titles) are both in a remarkably healthy state and the honor of a title is still ea-

gerly sought by Britons. “I am assured by a good source,” he wrote,” the applications for a peerage normally amount to 10 times the number that the honors list can sensibly contain in any one year. . . . “The reference books on the British peerage are still the biggest and heaviest in the honor-giving world. Burke’s Peerage lists about 1,000 nobles of various degrees; Burke’s also lists 4.500 people who, by reason of pedigree or other qualities, can be counted as Landed Gentry and another 1.480 or so have the hereditary title of Baronet.”

The Labor Government announced in 1965 that it would award no more hereditary peerages but this may be reversed if the Conservative Party comes to power again.
