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.

Bites From Doj;
James C. 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

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.

that America's Allies cannot sup-

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

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.

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

"A third jolt was Mr. Dulles

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.
