The Texas Department of Pub lic Safety, which maintained ten uous communications with Sunny side, reported four known dead until today, when it learned that one badly mangled woman count ed as dead was still alive. She was Mrs, Earl Phelan. The known dead were T. R. Hogan. owner of the Sunnyside Ginningl Co.; J. D. Kidd, 55, Plainview, who was visiting Sunnyside, and Nona Beth Phelan, Mrs. Phelan s daughter. Rescue workers loaded a little girl and a little boy with their arms torn off into an ambulance at Sunnyside. The Baplist Church, where the men were having a fellowship meeting, a community store and half a dozen homes near the church were demolished. Mrs. Roy Phelan and Mrs. Murlc Rogers, wife of the Baptisti minister, saw the twister coming at Sunnyside and ran to warn the men. The husbands of Mrs. Roy Phelan and Mrs. Earl Phelan are brothers. "Some of them ran out and got into their cars and drove off to escape," Mrs. Phelan said. "A large group of us ran for the tornado cellar at the church, but some didn't make it."

The announcement confirmed reported assurance given by President Eisenhower to Prime Minister Harold Maeniillun that Britain would be able to buy the planned new weapon prompt ly. dollars. Walkinson said the mon ey thus far invested in Blue Streak will not be wasted "if it is decided to go ahead with (it) as a launcher for a space satel lite."

Kidnapers snatched the 4'i-ycar-old heir to one of Europe's biggest automo bile fortunes Tuesday and threat ened to kill him unless they get $100,000 ransom wilhin 48 hours police said today. Chubby, cheerful Eric Peugeot, grandson of auto tycoon Jean- Pierre Peugeot, was carried off m broad daylight before the startled eyes of his playmates, the police said. - The kidnaping occurred at the children's playground of France's most exclusive country club, the Saint-Cloud Course just west of Paris. It was Ihe first kidnaping for ransom in Franco in 25 years. The Surete Nationale the French FBf swung into a massive in vestigation. Newspapers and radio and TV stations crackled wilh the sensa tional story. Eric's parents, Har vard educated Roland Peugeot and his wife, Colette, were sick with fear at violation of lhe kid napers' warning not to tell police. Fearful or Publicity Peugeot showed the strain when he went to his office as usual to day. He is a vice president of the Peugeot firm, one of the "big five" of Ihe French automobile world. The others ore Renault, Citroen, Simca and Panhard. Fearful of the publicity, he told reporters: Don't ask me. I'm not tne one who told Ihe police."

League officials present for the dinner meet discussion were May or John Snider, Medford, presi dent of the league; Herman Kehr li, executive secretary of Hie league, and Dick Ryan, field and legislative consultant of the league. Mayors, councilman, recorders and other city officials were pros ent from Lakevicw, Merrill,. Ma- lin, Chiloquin and Bonanza, in ad dition to Klamath Falls. Snider opened the program by summarizing the work of the league, outlining the services it makes available lo its member cities, such as police training pro grams, a special ordinance codi fication system, and a league health insurance program. Ryan followed, detailing figures to show that 57 per cent of Ore gon's population reside in cities. He indicated that census officials see a 50 per cent population in crease in Ihe slate in the next 10 years. In reviewing lhe financing of cily government, Ryan said 45 per cent of the city's budget is obtained from property taxes, an other 28 per cent from charges and fees, and a small portion from stale funds. He scored a local sales lax as being impracticable and highly restrictive. Inventory Tax Kebrli singled out the inventory tax as being a tax that should be changed, and called on Slate Senator Harry Boivin lo explain the thinking of the Legislature's interim committee on taxation. Boivin told the group he had voted against the bill to abolish the inventory tax because there was no adequate substitute for the revenue thus lost by cities and counties. "I believe lhe inventory lax is unfair," he said, "But so also is lhe property lax, and perhaps most unfair is the income lax.

Ships, planes and submarines receiving radio signals from a network of transits would bo able to plot their positions to within one-tenth of a mile more simply and accurately than at present. Bowl Alley To Be Built Plans were announced today for construction an additional 24- lane bowling alley in Klamath Falls. The new alley will be built by Merle and Hazel Hanscam, cur rent owners. of Lucky Lanes on South Sixth Street. Site for the new ultramodern alleys will be di rectly adjacent to the new Rick falls housing in a three to four acre area bounded by Shasta Way, Pershing Way and Avalon. Land for the new alley was pur chased from Arthur Rickbeil. Hanscam reported that con struction of the new alley will be gin as soon as possible, with plans to have it in operation by fall. "It will be a completely modern facility," Hanscam said, "com plete wilh a nursery, meeting room and oilier activities." The new alleys will feature the very latest Brunswick equipment ini-liiHinn imrlprprnnnd hall re- lums un completely automatic pin-setting acvices. Parking space will be available for approximately 350 cars. The construction of the bowling alley is the beginning of an over all development plan for the area of 30 to 40 acres lying cast of the Rickfalls housing develop ment. Although detailed plans are not available, it was reported that a complete commercial develop ment is scheduled for the area, including a new shopping center.
