Tornadoes kill 3 Associated Press Tornadoes swept through sec tions of Missouri and Kansas, leaving at least three dead and millions of dollars in property damage. Hardest hit by Wednesday’s twisters was Pleasant Hill, a community of 3,400 about 40 miles southeast of Kansas City. A tornado reduced a trailer court to a field of rubble, de stroyed about 20 homes and damaged twice that many, then ripped apart the senior high school and tore the roof from the primary school. Two persons were killed in the town. A third person was killed when he swerved his car off Federal judge denies journalists’ request COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)-U.S. District Judge Robert Martin has refused a group of journal ists’ request that he lift an order restricting newsmen’s access to principals in the trial this month of former state Sen. J. Ralph Gasque of Marion. The denial came Wednesday in the latest in a series of con frontations between Martin and the journalists, the Central South Carolina Chapter of the Society of Professional Journal ists, Sigma Delta Chi. An earlier attempt to have Martin’s May 31 order over turned was rejected by the fourth U-S Circuit Court of Ap peals. The latest decision is also expected to be appealed. Gaque has been indicted on , dW» ’W fl I ■ 3 'MNBH Missouri 291 to avoid a tornado cloud crossing the highway between Pleasant Hill and Harrisonville. The highway patrol reported 11 persons were hospitalized with injuries, at least two in serious condition. About 1,000 students at the two schools, huddled against corridor walls in a well-re hearsed tornado drill, escaped with a few cuts and one broken arm. A school official, shuffling through debris and caved in windows and walls, called it a miracle that no one was killed. Damage to the high school was estimated at up to $2 mil lion by insurance investigators. charges of misuse of federal funds and embezzlement. Martin’s order prohibits par ticipants in the trial from being in the vicinity of reporters at the courthouse and from talking to the press during the trial. He also banned publication of jurors’ names without his ap proval and said no photographs or sketches could be made of jurors at the courthouse. The journalists claimed in the challenge that the order vio lated the freedom of the press provision of the First Amend ment and violated their con stitutional right of due process. However, Martin said Wednesday his order “does not prohibit the public or the press i *Tiflif : <i? i v h kJ Mijfy" fw*. Bffi i 11 J) ■'* v^- -• Energy saver WASHINGTON—Rep.

(AP) Safe reunion PLEASANT HILL, Mo.—A woman carrying a dog and a ball runs toward the outstretched arm of a friend after a tornado hit Pleasant Hill on Wednesday afternoon. (AP) About 50 cars in a parking lot outside the school were also de stroyed, leaving the appearance of a junkyard. Pleasant Hill officials esti mated total damage at (2.12 million, but indications were losses would run considerably higher. Rescue workers searched the debris through the night along the eastern side of the town in search of possible additional victims. In Sedalia, 60 miles to the east, another tornado de stroyed 55 homes and damaged another 500, according to Civil Defense officials. Police said 35 to 40 persons were injured, none seriously. from doing anything but only limits the participants in the criminal case from conducting themselves in certain man ners.” Martin said the purpose of his order is to bar out-of-court statements “by any lawyer, party, witness, or court offiial which divulges prejudicial in formation.” He added that lift ing his order could deny Gasque and two codefendants a fair trial. The judge said it is mere speculation that trial partici pants would talk to reporters anyway. In addition, he said sketching “distracts the jurors and has caused some of them to complain to the court.’ Most of the injured at Sedalia were in a housing development just south of the Missouri State Fair grounds. Clay County officials said a tornado touched down in the southwest part of Excelsior Springs, Mo., injuring five per sons, destroying 17 homes and damaging 11 others. On the Kansas side, about 30 farms sustained damage rang ing from minor to total destruc tion and three injuries were re ported in a tornado that raked a swath 15 miles long from Glove to Vinland in Douglas County, south of Lawrence.
