Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th president of the Un ited States, once was a teach er in the New York City In stitution for the Blind. Summer temperatures in some places in the U. S. are higher than is usual in the tropics, according to the Na tional Geographic Society. It was, I recall, just a little bit after seven when the storm hit. Suddenly it became black as midnight. I looked out of the window. A huge white sheet of mist was moving in on the town. At first I thought it just was going to be a real heavy storm. Then I saw the trees weren't bending: They were horizontal. Trees Snap Then the trees, big ones, mind you, not saplings, snap ped like match sticks. Several large homes shot through the air like dolls' houses and landed two, three blocks from their foundations. I'll never foget what it sounded like. It was like blast ing in a quarry. It went "thoom-thoo m" like the ground was going to open up and then there came the rain and the hail. As soon as the tornado had passed I grabbed my first aid kit and joined Colfax's two other doctors, an M.D. and a veterinarian, to help the in jured. , . . Like a Battlefield I saw a man lying in the street with a two-by-two wood en plank driven through his chest. He was dead. I ran to ward two other persons. They were dead, too. It was like a battlefield. . ' I ran from house to house. People huddled in their base ments. Adults cried, children screamed. A number of per sons were incoherent and in a state of shock. It was so sud den. It was so awful. God. the wheat used in store bought bread was the "poor est of the wheat," and gen erally bemoaned the fate of modern Americans who come home to face this bread. Mrs. Stanley O'Hair, South Bend, Ind., said she never took the time to bake her own bread because it might not be edible and she had faith in the "vitamin-enriched"' bread on the market. Why Take Chance? Other general reactions were, "Why take the extra time, when time can be spent to better advantage other wise?" "My children are healthy" and finally a per haps valuable cross-challenge "Doesn't this representa tive of the people have better things to worry about than whether American families are - eating home-baked bread?"

Ike Would Give Economic Aid To Satellites Washington (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower said today he wants discretionary au thority to give economic aid to Iron Curtain satellites but opposes putting such a pro vision in the foreign aid au inorizanon Dill pending . in the Senate. The chief executive's posi tion was reported by Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland after the regu lar weekly meeting of GOP congressional leaders with the President. Knowland said Eisenhower is in favor of such discretion ary authority but believes it should be handled as separate legislation and not as an amendment to the foreign aid measure now being debated in the Senate. Would Amend Act Knowland, who has been leading opposition to the pro posed discretionary amend ment, said the President be lieves the matter should be handled by amending the came Act wnicn now pro hibits economic aid to Iron Curtain countries. Knowland said he will con tinue to oppose the plan- even as separate legislation. But he conceded that it would have a better chance of pass age if handled separately from the foreign aid bill. Knowland has said he does not "buy, and will not sup port" the idea that economic aid should be advanced to nations bound to Russia un der the terms of the Warsaw Pact.
