By United Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. IA
Four southwest Arkansas towns lay
stricken today by a tornado that
claimed one life, injured more than
a score of persons. and did hun
dreds of thousands of dollars dam
age.
Crews of workmen, aided by ma
tional guardsmen, we're sent into
the area today to clear away debris
and search ruined buildings for
other possible casualties,
-year-old Helen Colvert was
killed at Camden, where the storm
struck first. Her parents and D
year-old sister, Louise, we're injured
so seriously they may not live.
The twister ripped through the
business section OF Camden and
then out over the state to Waldo,
Bluff City and Stephens. 1t cut a
wide swath and farms along its
route we're damaged
Damaged communication lines
we're being repaired today. Roads
we're cleared of fallen trees and
other wreckage and railroad service
between the stricken towns was re-
sumed
More than twenty-five residences
were wrecked and an estimate
placed the damage in the towns at
close to a million dollars. This did
not include the rural sections.

100000 Libel,
Charged in Suit
by Ackernann
By United Press

By United Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. IA
The South Bend Tribune was
named defendant in a 100000 libel
suit filed here today by Rudolph
Ackermann ousted as city controller
two weeks ago by Mayor w. R.
Hinkle.
Ackermann charges that the
Tribune, expressing its favor of
Hinkle's action, published news
stories and editorials which he claims
were libelous, scandalous and in
furious to his character and repu-
tation.
The South Bend city council to-
night will hear Ackermann's charges
that his dismissal was brought by
his efforts to block FIinkle's alleged
attempt to protect vice and gambling
in South Bend.
Appointment of Harry S. Taylor,
Republican, twice prosecuting at
torney of st. Joseph county, as a
deputy of Attorney General James
M. Ogden, is the topic of much
comment, due to the strife in the
city administration involving Hin
kle and Ackermann.
William A Bertsch, st. Joseph
county chairman, declared that in a
conference with Ogden prior to the
appointment, the Hinkle-A cker-
mann incident was touched "only
lightly
1t is recalled that after Ogden
made charges regarding vice and
liquor conditions in Marion and
Lafayette, investigations resulted.

SUSANNA PRAY
OUSTING DENIED
County Heads RidicuIe Hints
Home Chief to Co.

Denial that the board of Marion
county commissioners is contem-
plating discharging Miss Susanna
Pray, superintendent of the juvenile
detention home for twenty-five
years, was made by Commissioner
Dow w. Vorhies and Commissioner
elect Tom Ellis.
The denial was made in connec-
ton with reports that Miss Anna
Pickard has been recommended as
Miss Pray'S successor.
"We have given the matter little,
if any, thought Vorhies declared.
"The first thing we want to do
is to improve living conditions at
the home. 1t is rather premature
to consider an exchange of super
intendents at this time"
Commissioners also disclosed the
monthly rental of the detention
home building at $50 East Mich
igan street, will be decreased from
$500 to 5000 month, beginning
Jan. l. In previous years the county
has paid as much as $3.50 a month
for occupying the structure.
