nation’s worst tornado disaster
in a half-century.
Five of the 12 states hit, Ohio,
Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana
and Tennessee, were declared
major disaster areas by Presi
dent Nixon and relief officials
community after a tornado took the lives of two people
here. (UPI)
worked on the amount and type
of aid required there.
The National Weather Service
said the cold frontal system
that triggered more than 100
cyclones Wednesday and Thurs
day continued to cause “severe
activity” from Alabama and
Florida to Virginia. An inch to
two inches of rain fell on rescue
workers in Alabama and
Georgia.
The death toll was 339 in 12
states in the Midwest and South
and including the border city of
Windsor, Ont., where eight
were killed. Kentucky reported
89 dead; Alabama 73; Tennes
see 58; Indiana 42, Ohio 41;
Georgia 15; North Carolina 5;
Michigan 3; Illinois 2; one each
in Virginia, West Virginia, and
Oklahoma.
Injured Unknown
How many were injured was
not known, but Ohio and
Alabama reported 1,000 each.
More tornadoes raked parts
of the Southeast Thursday.
They brought further death and
destruction to a country al
ready reeling from Oklahoma
to the Canadian line to Georgia
under the impact of a savage
spring.
In Kentucky, 40 of the
fatalities were in the Ohio river
town of Brandenburg (pop:
1,690), hit by twisters for the
first time since 1950.
“This is the darkest hour in
the history of Alabama from
tornado damage,” said state
Civil Defense Director C.J.
Sullivan.
Alabama authorities said the
city of Jasper and the town of
Guin were all but wiped out.
In Tennessee, most of the
deaths were in the coves and
valleys of ancient mountains
and foothills where the force of
the winds was terrifying.
Twisters even pulled the
insulation out of the walls of
houses near Cookeville and
wrapped it around trees.
Like Cotton Field
“It looks like a giant yellow
and pinkish cotton field,” said
Charles Denning, editor of the
Cookeville Herald Citizen.
In Indiana, four trails of
twisters crossed the state.
Damage was immense. “I don’t
have a house anymore,” a
woman said, standing in the
rubble on a street in Monticello,
population 4,869, where losses
were estimated at SIOO million.
Ohio’s worst hit city was
Xenia, population 25,000, which
lost 35 dead. There, Central
State University was so hard
hit that many classes were
canceled for the balance of the
academic year. Damage to the
school was tentatively set at S6O
million.
“This boggles the mind,”
Gov. John J. Gilligan said.
“There is just no way to
calculate the damage.”
In Windsor, Ont., near
Detroit, high winds tore the
roof off a curling rink and a
wall fell onto a crowd inside.
100 Twisters
The National Weather Service
recorded 100 or more separate
twisters, the worst such disas
ter since a series of devastating
twisters slashed through Mis
souri, Illinois and Indiana in
1925 and killed 689 persons.
This time, meteorologists
Won’t serve
EDINA, Mo. (UPI) — Leslie
Karhoff did not want any part
of the mayor’s job and now that
he’s mayor he won’t serve.
Karhoff was a candidate for
aiderman in the town election,
and he won that office. But he
also received 87 write-in-votes
for mayor, a job that wasn’t on
the ballot.
Aiderman Karhoff says some
one else will have to serve as
mayor.
So, city council will meet May 6
to decide when to hold a special
mayoral election.

Lawmen believe Patricia
under threat statement
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) —
Authorities are assuming Pa
tricia Hearst was “under
duress” when she renounced
her former life, called her
father a liar, and said she was
joining the terrorist Symbionese
Liberation Army (SLA).
James Browning, U.S. Dis
trict Attorney, said there was
no evidence the newspaper
heiress had been a willing
kidnap victim when the SLA
dragged her, kicking and
screaming, from her Berkeley
apartment Feb. 4.
“It is a possibility,” Brown
ing said, “but I don’t believe it.
“We are assuming that what
she said (in a taped message
broadcast Wednesday) was said
under duress —someone holding
a gun at her head or the like —
or she felt it was necessary to
say those things to get free.”
Mother Issues Statement
About the same time Brown
ing was meeting with reporters
in San Francisco’s Federal
building, Patricia’s mother
issued a brief written statement
saying only a personal meeting
with her daughter would
convince her that Patty volun-
said, winds hit Louisville’s
outskirts at speeds of 200 to 300
miles an hour. Harold Jackson
said in Windsor that the winds
there sounded like “10,000
freight trains.”
The wreckage was waist deep
in many places with houses
flattened or blown hundreds of
yards away and smashed into
other buildings. Trees were
uprooted or broken off at
ground level. Cars were cru
shed.

tarily joined the SLA.
“Only Patty in person can
convince me that the terrible
weary words came from her
heart and were delivered of her
own free will,” Catherine
Hearst said.
“We are a close family, and I
cannot believe that the daugh
ter I know so well has willingly
adopted the way of life
described by the SLA.
“Until the day of her capture,
Patty was a young lady of
great assurance who was
content with the direction in
which she was going,” her
mother said.
At the University of Califor
nia, where Patricia was a
student until her abduction, a
professor of political revolution
said she may be the victim of a
psychological school of motiva
tion termed “Chang-Fang” or
“work spirit.”
Wes Davis said it could mean
that although Patricia believed
what she said Wednesday, she
might not have reached the
conviction through her own free
will.

Made to Feel Guilty
Faced with the psychological
fear of death and forced into
periods of mental and physical
exhaustion, her captors would
have made her feel guilty for
the “crimes” of her family and
the capitalistic society they
represent against the poor and
the masses, Davis said.
He said Patricia’s communi-

of her captive period reflected
subtle psychological changes
taking place; from the time of
her first communication when
she said the SLA was not crazy
but had just causes, to the
