By United Press International Thunderstorms rumbled up the Ohio River Valley today after a night of tornadoes. Hail battered parts of the Midwest and plains. Rain soaked much of the nation from the Rockies to the southland. Nearly l',4 indies W iaih fell across the northwestern Louisi ana, central Alabama and West ern Ohio in six hours during the night. At least two unconfirmed twist-, crs tore across western Ohio. smashing homes and, ripping up power lines. No injuries were re ported. Much of rural Drake County in Ohio was without electric power. An apparent twister tore a one- mile swath through the country side about five miles west of Greenville, Ohio.

One would have to die, the other would live. The surgeons felt that Rodney Dee was the stronger, so they gave the vein to him. Roger Lee never regained consciousness and 35 days later he died. Rodney Deo began his tremcn. dous struggle to live. For five years he was in the hospital. He had operation after operation about 20 in ail-mostly to provide some 'sort of bone structure on the top of his head. Youth Never Recovered Rodney Dee went home to his parents and seven brothers and sisters at their farm home near this west-central Illinois commu nity, the first person ever to sur vive such an operation. But the little lad was not to know recovery. His head never losl its mis shapen appearance. He had trou ble balancing. He could not run and play. He was unable to at tend school regularly. A teacher and his brothers and sisters tu tored him. He weighed only 50 pounds. Last Sunday, Mrs. Brodie and the other children were on a pic nic. Brodie started feeding Rod ney lunch in lied.

The consumer price Index was! one per cent higher than a year! ago. reflecting increased costs lor food, housing and recreation. All major typos of goods and services except transportation shared in the ovcr-tlfe-year ad vance. , i Clague said the decrease in av erage, food prices in April resulted largely from drops in the prices of meats, eggs and dairy products. The price of meat was the lowest since 1 9"7. he said Meat, poultry and fish prices dipiied 2.4 per cent. Beef and pork prices led the way with a drop of about 3.5 per cent. However, priees for fruits and vegetables increased. Fresh fruits climbed four per cent and fresh vegetables 1.6 per cent. Clague said this was largely a continuing! result of frost which destroyed southern fruit crops last winter. High Low Astoria - 62 42 Baker 75 40 Brookings 66 411 K.
