Miami Tornado
Not Seen On Radar
MIAMI (UPI) — A tornado <
which zipped unnoticed past the
Miami Weather Bureau’s radar I
screen Monday left $3 million i
in damages in this tourist-thick :
seaside resort.
The predawn twister, which j
crumbled buildings, toppled
palm trees and hurled cars ,
through the air like toys, in- j
Jured at least 14 persons, but (
none seriously.
“I’d take a hurricane any old
day," said one woman, who has
been weathering storms for the 1
past 22 years. 1
Clocks were stopped at 4:55 '
a.m. Monday as the sneaky tor
nado smashed 80 to 100 homes
in a 25-block area of North Mi- ]
ami.

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER like you won’t find anywhere is this
man presented by lithographers at the City News Printing

can’t make up his mind, you might say.
Mackay Will Run
ATLANTA (UPI) — Former ;
congressman James Mackay 1
will attempt to regain the
Fourth District seat he lost two :
years ago to Rep. Ben Black
burn, R-Ga.
Mackay, a Democrat, an
nounced Monday he would run
against Blackburn because he

damage at $2.5 to $3 million.
The twister also slammed in
to a shopping center on north
east 167th St., where a liquor
store, a bar and other stores
were wrecked. Spilled and
smashed liquor bottles littered
the area.
The Weather Bureau said the
twister built up swiftly, hit,
then vanished in minutes, es- j
caping its radar scanners.
“It picked up my cruiser. >
whirled it around and put it
back down on its wheels nearly
a block away,” said North Mi
ami Beach policeman Vernon
Weekley.
Local hospitals reported 14
persons were treated and re
leased. Most of the injuries
were from flying glass and de
bris.
said the Republican congress
man “simply won’t do.”
The most vital issue tn this
year’s campaign, said Mackay,
will be “who can most effec
tively represent the Fourth Dis
trict in the next Congress."
Mackay, a long-time member
of the state legislature, was
elected to Congress in 1964
after the Fourth District, which
includes DeKalb, Rockdale and
part of east Fulton County,
was carved from the Fifth Dis
trict by reapportionment. He
served only one term before
losing to Blackburn.
Mackay said his list of priori
ties is headed by the Vietnam
war, air and water pollution,
“the explosive and unhealthy
condition of our cities,” and
“the continuing slaughter on
i our highways.”
Gov. John Connally
Lashes LBJ Critics
By DON PHILLIPS
ATLANTA (UPD—Gov. John
Connally obviously feels that
one Texas Democrat should
stand up for another.
The Texas governor, here for
Georgia’s annual Jefferson-
Jackson Day dinner, lashed out
Monday night at critics of Pres- ‘
ident Johnson, his close friend.
"We talk a lot about crime,” 1
Connally told a gathering of
1,300 Georgia Democrats. "But
it is actually the problem of lo
cal government, not the feder
al government. Frankly, in '
many cases, we have not lived .
up to the responsibility.”
Connally defended the Presi
dent’s request for a tax in- 1
crease and accused Sen. Robert :
Kennedy, D-N. Y., of making j
statements which are having a (
"disastrous effect” on Ameri
can policy in Vietnam.
"Spending on a local and 1
state basis has far outstripped ■
national spending,” Connally !
said. He added that taxes in the :
past four years have been re- 1
duced by $24 billion dollars and ■
that President Johnson is ask
ing Congress for only $7 billion i
of that back. i
As for Kennedy, Connally told 1
a news conference prior to the ]
dinner: i
"His actions have been unfor- <
tunate; his words have been far <
from helpful. All he’s said and i
done has been harmful to the
foreign policy of the United i
renneu t < x

States.”
Connally continued along this
line during his speech at the
banquet.
‘We tend to grab the emo
tional and sensational and blow
it out of perspective,” he said.
“The administration has had
many victories, such as settling
the latest Arab-Israeli tensions
and settling war between
Greece and Turkey over Cyprus
before it ever broke out.”
Connally said at the news
conference that he felt Presi
dent Johnson would have a
tougher time winning in 1968
than he did in 1964, but that
he would win.
He predicted the rising na
tional crime rate would out
rank Vietnam as the major
issue in this year’s presidential
campaign.
He said it was doubtful that
civil rights would be a major
issue in the Democratic Party
platform. "Most of the civil
rights planks in other platforms
have already been enacted into
law,” he said.
Connally said Johnson’s pres
ent popularity problem will
ease when Republicans choose
their candidate. "Once the op
position candidate is known for
sure, the people will be able to
compare and will choose Presi
dent Johnson as the better can
didate,” he said.
Connally said he hoped his
appearance here would help
President Johnson in Georgia,
5 which went for Republican Bar
! ry Goldwater in 1964. But he
insisted he was not sent by the
White House as a political fence
• mender.
