CHARLESTON, S.C.. Sept. 29-
ypy-A raging tornado dipped fur
iously Intc Charleston early today,
killing at, least 25 persons, injur
ing between 200 and 300, and
damaging hundreds ot thousands
of dollars worth of property.
Hours after the destructive
twister struck, searchers dug Into
the ruins of wrecked buildings,
and it was feared additional bod
ies would be recovered.
Hospitals listed 63 victims ser
iously hurt. Others were given
first aid for comparatively minor
Injuries.
Storms Last
Bat Minute
This historic city was thrown
into confusion as the storm, which
lasted scarcely a minute, broke
down power and communication
facilities, and blocked streets with
uprooted trees, poles and danger
ous live wires.
Two companies of national
guardsmen were mobilized hastily
to aid civilian authorities in han
dling the situation. They later
were augmented' by soldiers from
nearby Fort Moultrie and marines
from the navy yard, instructed by
President Roosevelt to make their
services available.
In Washington the president
directed the war and navy de

all possible aid.
Old Landmarks
Damaged
Many of Charleston's land
marks, known to thousands of
tourists, were damaged. Includ-i
ed were St. Michael's Episcopal
church, at Broad and Meeting
streets, St. r Philip's church, a
short distance away, bom oi
which date to pre-revolutlonary
times, and the quaint little Hu
guenot church, only one of its
denomination in the United
States.
Also damaged was the Dock
street theatre, one of the coun
try's oldest, the ancient city mar
ket building, and the historic
city hall.
Colleges and schools escaped
unscathed, but many of the fine
old homes overlooking- the fam
ous battery suffered shattered
windows and damaged roofs.
Meteorologist J. E. Lockwood
said apparently three separate
tornadoes struck this area with

second that did the damage in
the city proper. This twister de
veloped a wind velocity of 72
miles an hour. Just three less
than the standard of hurricane

Patriotism Undiminished
as Many Declare Wish

PRAGUE, Sept. 29-()Fore-boding
disappointment, coupled
with a kind of fatalism, pervaded
Prague tonight while Czechoslo
vakia's fate was being settled by
the momentous four-power talks
in Munich.
Residents discussed gloomily
what lay ahead for the republic
after a decision between Germany,
Britain, France and Italy.
The government this morning
announced it had agreed in prin
ciple, with some reservations, to
a British proposal for gradual ap
plication of the French-British
plan to cede Sudetenland to Ger
many. The Czechoslovak minister to
Berlin carried the government's
stand to the Munich conferees by
Airplane. ,
Czechs IxHrrs .
Either Way
The concensus In Prague was
that whatever was decided be
tween the four-power leaders,
there could be no doubt that
Czechoslovakia would be the loser
either by diplomatic accord or
by war.
For the first lime, maps show
ing Adolf Hitler's demands be
yond the Anglo-French partition
proposal were placed on sale.
Citizens pointed to deep inden
tations on Moravian territory, in
cluding the city of Brunn, and re
marked dispiritedly: "It pinches
the country in two, leaving & nazi
ring around Bohemia."
Many decided that Czechoslo
vakia's problem had become only
a small part of the whole inter
national question in Europe.
This meant for patriotic Czech
oslovaks the possible submer
gence of their cause by France
and England, in striving to stave
off a general conflagration.
"It has probably all been set
tled," they said as the hours
passed without word from Mun
ich. Patriotism
Is Strong
But their patriotism remained
undiminished. They said they
were eager still to defend their
country.
Nervous tension after nights
of citywide blackouts spread, but
they obeyed orders and kept the
capital completely calm.
Crowds flocked to the state
opera house - to see a Bohemian
opera In which' a prophetess pre
dicts in the last act that the na
tion, although crushed time af
ter time, would rise again against
its " conquerors.
Extraordinary conferences were
held throughout the day by the
cabinet and other government
officials.
Ministers ot former Premier
Milan Hodza's Inner cabinet had
a lengthy session. Leaders of
coalition parties and presidents
of parliamentary clubs attended
a full cabinet meeting presided
over by President Eduard Benes.
; Quiet was reported tonight In
the Sudeten border region where
a clash between Czechoslovaks
and Sudeten Germans occurred
this morning.
One Sudeten was reported
killed and two injured In the
run-in between a Czechoslovak
border patrol and the Sudetens
