SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May 2 Il.
N.SO Rescue crews bearing food,
clothing and medical aid were
being rushed into the tornado
stricken Missouri valley today
where a series of twisters last
night killed seven persons, injured
scores and did property damage
which may mount into millions OF
dollars.
Communities in four states
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Mis-
souri-were crushed by the lorna

warning shortly after Z p. m.

1000 persons was practically
smashed from the map, so
thorough was the storms destruc'

Calls for physicians and nurses
have been dispatched from the
stricken areas, indicating that the
injured list may reach huge pro
portions.
Immediately after the disturb
ances at Omaha and Sioux City
airplanes set out to survey the
damaged zone, but darkness forced
them back.
The Red Cross at Omaha sent
4 score of nurses, hospital wagons
and q dozen doctors to the
stricken areas last night to care
for the wounded. Additional re

Although the twisters moved

WORKERS
PLAN RELIEF

A committee representing the
200 machinists at the Washing
ton Navy Yard who have been
given notice of dismissal, headed
by N. P. Alias, of the MachiniSts
Union, today conferred with
naval authorities in an effort to
arrive at some plan which will
aid the discharged men.
The men were given two
weeks notice of dismissal and it
was indicated at the Navy Yard
that an additional 200 men will
receive notice Of being laid off
within the next two weeks.
Among the workers are machin-
lists, pattern makers, sheet metal
workers, boiler makers, electri-
clans and painters. About three
hundred Of the men are machin-
lists.
It was also indicated that
should the naval treaty be rati-
fled that many more workers
will be dimiSSed from the various
Navy Yards as under terms of the
treaty only two Of the five
cruisers already nder construc.
ton will be allowed.
Alias declined to state just
what action the Union will take
but said that the dismissal of the
400 men will create most serious
condition in Washington. With
the unemployment situation far
from solved the throwing out of
400 more men will further COM
plicate matters.
Approximately 1900 men were
employed in 1929 to carry out the
construction of the 8-inch guns
and other ordnance equipment OF
the five 10,000-ton cruisers. This
ordnance has been completed.
