(IPy A terrific windstorm, approach ing hurricane force, struck Kan sas City last night inflicting extensive property damage and paralyzing traffic for nearly an hour. Three huge radio towers were blown over, store fronts smashed, trees uprooted and f cornices pitched into normally busy downtown streets. The spire of the First Presby terian church in Kansas City. Kas., was blown onto the roof while 20 Boy Scouts were meet ing in the basement. Owen Tharp, the scoutmaster, kept the boys singing until the storm abated sufficiently to permit them to leave the building. One of the walls was damaged as the spire fell. The 544-foot broadcasting tow er of radio station KMBC in suburban Johnson county, Kas., crashed onto the home of Frank Angus. Mrs. Angus, her son Donald. 10, and her daughter Dorothy, 13, fled to the basement at the start of the storm and escaped injury. The 80,000-pound tower fell with such force that a steel beam was driven a foot and a half into a concrete roadway. A nearby 275-foot emergency tower of KMBC also collapsed. Newark, N. J., Aug. 28. (IP) Houses without roofs or sides and bare foundations stood to day as grim evidence of a freak storm that struck swiftly in scat tered parts of New Jersey to leave a toll of two dead, about SO injured and many homeless. Sections of Delaware and Pennsylvania also suffered yes terday from high winds and heavy rains to send property damage mounting. Charleston, W. Va., reported Its heaviest rain of the year with streets and cellars flooded. Woodbridge, 18 miles south of here, and Swedesboro, 17 miles southwest of Camden, felt the brunt of the cyclonic wind attack that whirled across New Jersey and was followed by tor t rential rains. George Hemple, about 35, a milkman, was killed in Swedes boro when a smokestack at the Edgar F. Hurff canning plant toppled on his truck. Four plant employes were badly In jured and several others suf fered minor hurts as four other smokestacks tumbled before the fury of the wind.

(IP) Pacific Greyhound buses In seven western states operated as usual today under terms of a new truce that averted a walk out of 1,3000 AFL drivers and terminal employes of the com pany, threatened for midnight last night. Company and union represen tatives made enough progress in day-long negotiations over a new working contract yesterday that they agreed to hold more conferences, and the union ad' vanced the strike deadline to next Friday midnight. The union has asked various wage increases, improved work' ing conditions, and union rec ognition under an NLRB ruling. A specific difficulty has been over the union's demand for a mountain-driving differential. Present pay scales have not been disclosed. A strike would take Grey hound drivers from their wheels in California, Oregon, Utah, Ari zona, New Mexico, Nevada and Texas.
