to a motor shat had roared steadily

Of Clarence d. Chamberlin and Bert
Acosta, former army fiier, to stay in
the air 50 hours.
The plane was throttled down to
80 miles an hour as it cruised over
Mitchell Field this morning. Speed
had been reduced steadily since the
plane hoped off at 0:3O o'clock yes
terday morning. Through slower
flying, the airmen hope to conserve
their fuel supply Of 1856 gallons long
enough to allow them to remain in
the air until early tomorrow after
noon.
Rest In Plane
Rest was secured in alternate maps
on a mattress bunk in their Wight
Bellanca monoplane. Their food con-
sisted of coffee, soup. sandwiches,
water and chocolate bars.
II the fliers are successful in their
present attempt: the machine will be
overhauled and entered in competi-
tipn for The $4,000 Orteig prize. to
be awarded the winner of nonstop
flight from New York to Paris.

To Pay or Not to Pay,
That Is the Question

Employees Of the Bank Of North
Dakota are hopeful that the treasury
department Of the federal government
will change its mind again on the
question Of whether they have to pay
federal income tax.
Originally the federal government
held, in view of q court decision on
the point, that the employees of the
Bank Of North Dakota are not en-
ployes Of the state and therefore
must pay federal income taxes.
Later they reversed the decision
and made refunds Of federal income
taxes to several bank employees. Re-
Gently, however, notice was received
that the government has returned to
its original position and intends to
collect the tax.
Under the federal law state en-
ployes are relieved Of the obligation
Of paying federal income taxes al
though the state income tax law col
lects income taxes from state en-
ployes as we'll as from other persons.

Iocksprings, Texas. April l3.-tR)
A tornado that struck this inland
town last night took toll Of Mt
least 62 lives and injured about l60
persons, some fatally. The twister
was the most disastrous in this Sec
tion of the state.
Sixty-two bodies had been re-
covered from the ruins Of the town
before noon today, 33 of which had
been identified.
OF the injured, 20 were expected
to die before night.
Most Of the unidentified dead were
Mexicans.
Rescue work, disorganixed immedi-
ately after the storm, was proceeding
swiftly under sun that warmed the
chill Of a norther. The dead had
been removed from the debris and as
sembled at one Of the two morgues.
Some Of the bodies. however, were
mutilated beyond recognition.
Fire for Q time this morning
threatened to add to the tornado
tragedy. The remains Of the postof-
flee and q restaurant were ignited
and sent flames to the debris sur
rounding them. Efforts Of the fire
fighters were futile until rain, like

town, located about 1000 feet above
sea level. soon after dusk The town
suffered the brunt of the blast,
which cleared space about four
miles square. Less than 10 buildings
were left standing

here, were sounded out with a view
to running relief train as close as
possible to the torn town.
Twister Plays Franks
The usual sardonic pranks of the
"twister" were in evidence. A baby
was hurled 80 feet through the air
and landed safely, almost gently.

man, in the midst Of the wind rushed
into the splintering Valentine hotel
to save whoever he might. He con-

The storm came from the north
east with little or no warning just
after dark, according to survivors.
Few buildings were left standing
as the tornado howled on into the
blackness.
Relief Workers Delayed
Relief workers, including physi-
clans and nurses from San Antonio

Shanghai, April l3.--(P)-Shanghai
today was in the thrOes of general
strike accompanied by disorders.
There were two attempts by Chi
nese to storm the barrier leading
to the international settlement
Early today group Of Chinese
tried to rush the barrier and clash
followed with the Italian guards on
the Urga Road. The Italians fired
over the heads of the Chinese and
they retreated. Last night a small
mob made a sally to storm the bar
rier, but il was soon realized that
this was impossible. The Chinese
then set fire to circulars which they
had thrown into the barbcd wire
barrier and several posts were
burned.
The strike was due to General
Chang kai-Shck's efforts to sup
press the radical element Of the
uomintang, or Cantonese political
organization.
The labor unions ordered the
workers to leave their posts as {,
protest against General Chiang's ac-
tion in ordering raids yesterday on
labor union halls. Labor leaders
said the call was needed Immediately y
by $4,000 workers and they expected
many others would join the move
ment.
Not Aimed ut Foreigners
It was made clear by the labor
organizations that the strike was not
aimed at foreigners, but was purely
intra- Kuomintang--a movement by
the communists to bring about the
overthrow Of General Chang. com.
mander in chief Of the Cantonese
armies.

turned suddenly several days age
