Tornadoes Kill 3, Injure 63 In Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY :V Oklaho ma counted three lives lost, at least 63 injured in 23 communities and property damage in the thous ands of dollars Sunday as the re sult of weekend tornadic storms. A 90-mile front, moving generally from southwest to northeast, ter rorized the state from noon Satur day until midnight. Up-to-the-minute warnings from forecasters, and the fact that most of the tor nadoes struck on the outskirts of towns and in rural areas, were credited with preventing further death and destruction. Both of Oklahoma's largest met ropolitan centers, Tulsa and Ok lahoma City, were in the path of the severe weather front which passed out of the state early Sun day. Oklahoma City was drenched by a torrential three-inch downpour which flooded basements of at least 150 homes. Sirens sounded at Tulsa Saturday night when a twist er roared threateningly overhead. The most destructive tornado struck Meeker, 30 miles east of Oklahoma City. Twin funnels in jured 26 and damaged or destroyed 30 homes. The high school gym nasium was unroofed and some business fronts damaged. Roads leading in and out of the communi ty of 700 had to be cleared of scat tered debris. Ex-Pen Guard Arrested Here On 2 Counts A former state penitentiary guard was arrested by Marion County sheriff's deputies early Sunday morning on a charge of disturbing the peace and later two complaints were signed against him charging assault with a dangerous weapon and pointing a loaded revolver at another per son. George Peter Karl. Gervais, was held in Marion County jail Sunday night in lieu of $600 bail on the last two charges. The assault charge grew out of an altercation near a Gervais tavern Saturday night involving Karl and Cecil Omano of Gervais, deputies said. Omano, who sign ed the complaint, told sheriff's deputies he and two companions took a judo stick away from Karl during the dispute. The second charge was filed in Woodburn Justice Court by A. W. Keppinger of Gervais, the father of one of seven juveniles who told deputies Karl waved a gun at them and ordered them to get into their car and leave. Karl told sheriff's deputies he was chief of police at Brownsville until a month ago. Israel to Protest Speech by Hih American Official JERUSALEM.

Brigham, 1570 Mis sion St., was treated by city first aidmen Sunday afternoon for dog bites sustained when he was at tacked by a dog in the 4000 block on South Pacific Highway.

The dog drew blood on Brigham's upper right arm, the sheriff's office reported and added that the animal's owner was not identified. Saint's Blood Finally Melts: Naples Joyous NAPLES. Italy Cries of joy. ringing of bells and fireworks swept through this Italian port Sun day night at the announcement from Naples Cathedral that the blood of its patron. St. Januarius, had finally softened and melted a day late. The blood, of the martyred saint should have liquified Sunday, as it usually has done on the first Saturday of May for the past four centuries. When it has failed to melt Naples has had bad luck. Even a delay is considered an ill omen. A delay of several hours in 1940 was followed by Benito Mus solini's disastrous declaration of war. Saturday, after hours of prayers, the blood was still solid. Marcel lo Cardinal Mimmi. archibshop of Naples, urged the people to pray again Sunday. Devout Neapolitans assembled at the cathedral Sunday morning once more, attended mass and again prayed. Some of the more excitable and worried began to scream. "Deliver us from the evil eye. St. Januarius." some cried. "Do not abandon us, St. Januar ius." wept others. At 10:30 a m. Msgr. Giuseppe Cattaneo. custodian of the blood, which is kept in two silver phials, inspected it. "It is not melted," he told the weeping, praying people, who at that hour numbered about 10.000. Prayers continued until the blood melted. Thousands Cheer Pope's Appearance VATICAN CITY uP Thousands of school children gave Pope Pius XII a thunderous ovation Sunday at his first general audience since he became ill more than three months ago. His face was pale but his manner was comparatively energetic and his voice strong: his whole appearance indicated not able recovery. As the 78-year-old head of the Roman Catholic Church was borne into St. Peter's Basilica on his portable throne, a roaring cheer, constant as a waterfall, rose from thousands of throats. It continued unbroken for 10 minutes. White -clad school girls and little boys in gray and blue Sunday Best as sembled from many parts of Italy, waved white flowers and cheered and cheered. Several fainted and were carried to first aid stations set up in the Basilica. Thousands of older persons, members of pilgrimabes from Italy and foreign countries, also cheered. Reminiscent of the 1950 holy year, when such audiences were held twice and three times week ly, the Pope raiesd his arms re peatedly in blessing and many times bent far down as though he sought to touch one or another of his children. He appeared to be as deeply moved as they were. r''Our soul," he said in his first words to them, "has been flooded with a tumult of joy . . . thank you, dear children. . ." British Papers Contend Split Exists Among Allies at Geneva Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon following the ver nal equinox. By JAMES F. KING LONDON .V British newspa pers voiced concern Sunday over what some of them called a split among the Western Allies in. Ge neva. This reaction was mixed with expressions of relief that Prime Minister Churchill has tak en a firm stand against becoming involved in the Indochina fighting. Sharp criticism of U.S. Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles came from several commentators, with one report out of Geneva that he would offer his resignation on returing to Washington this week. Geneva reporters said they could find no comment on this report, nor any substantiation for it. Richard Crossman, leftwing fol lower of Aneurin Bevan in the House of Commons, wrote in the mass-circulation Sunday Pictorial: 'Spectacular Climb-Down' "We have ju.st witnessed one of the most spectacular climb-downs in diplomatic history. "Ten days ago Washington was still threatening the Chinese Com munists with 'united military ac tion' if they did not clear out of Indochina. Mr. ' Dulles. ..was de nouncing any idea of negotiating a settlement with them as sheer appeasement. "Now the Americans are sitting down to negotiate at Geneva, and President Eisenhower has in formed his weekly news conficrence that 'he wants some solution that might bo acceptable and would stop the fighting." "The reason for this climb-down seems to me simple enough. 'United action' was always a gi gantic bluff. Now that bluff has been called.'' The conservative Sunday Times diplomatic correspondent said m a Geneva datelined dispatch: "the first week of the conference has been notable for two important developments. The first of these is the rift between the United States and her Allies after t he British decision not to intervene in Indochina before the conference had tried to negotiate a peace. "This rift should be looked at in perspective. As seen from here, it was "due to three errors by the American administration: "Realizing too late the signifi cance of southeast Asia in the world balance of power, and then acting impetuously. 'Over-Estimating Allies' "Over - estimating her Allies' military and political possibilities: "Misjudging the readiness of the American Congress to 'go it alone' in Asia. "The administration has learnt that America's Allies cannot sup- fort immediate intervention be cause they believe that sucn ac tion would be useless save on the T Solon Argues Against Air Aid to French 71 ee jl solons 1120p 2 WASHINGTON w Sen. Mans field (D-Mont) argued Sunday against any U.S. air support of the French in Indochina, saying this could easily lead to use of Ameri can naval and ground forces here and possibly bring World War III. "There is no such thing as limited'' intervention, mansfield said on the DuMont TV show "Meet Your Congress." America, he said, could not bring the Indochina War to a suc cessful end alone because "we have neither the manpower nor the resources" and there is no inclina tion on the part' of this country's Allies to intervene. Sen. Knowland of California, the GOP Senate leader, answered Mansfield, saying: "I don't believe that the need of meeting the situa tion in Indochina is land power from the Western nations." He said the United States should not let great Britain's reluctance to act in Indochina stop this coun try from seeking a solution to the conflict. Although no two eggs in the usual bird's nest are exactly alike they usually closely resemble each other. scale of a major war, which would alienate the non-committed Asian countries whose backing is es sential." Lord Bcaverbrook's independent Sunday Express said in a Geneva datelined story that there were re ports Dulles would offer his re signation and. explained: "Reason for the reports... are the severe jolts that have hit him in the past two weeks. "One was the President's policy statement on Indochina about get ting along somehow with the Com munists. "Another jolt has been the Brit ish refusal to budge from the pol icy of non - intervention in Indo china unless the Geneva con ference breaks down utterly. "A third jolt was Mr. Dulles having to 'step down ftxm chair manship of the talks as the price of keeping Chou En-Lai. China's prime minister, out of the chair, too." Anger Shown At Conversion Of Old Shrine AMMAN, Jordan (! Moslems here were angered Sunday at the reported conversion into a syna gogue of the famous shrine of David's tomb in the Israeli sector of Jerusalem a mosque for cen turies past. David's tomb 'Nebi Daoud to Moslems) on Mt. Zion is holy for Moslems. Christians and Jews. As a mosque it was barred to Chris tians and Jews for 400 years. In the same structure on the floor above the tomb - - the Cenaculum is the place of Christ's last supper. Christian authorities who visted the Cenaculum have reported to religious leaders abroad and West ern foreign offices that David's tomb is being used as a synagogue. Moslems and Christians here re gard the change as a violation of the status quo under which religi ous shrines in the Holy Land have been protected against change in custody and use without consent from various sects concerned for the last 200 years.
