Eye witness OF
tcopyrisht 1896. by the Associated sress)
TUPELC, Miss. April 6.-1 was re-
pairing telephone line in the western
part of town and saw the sky In the
West filling with black masses OF
clouds. 1t was little after 8 o'clock.
Then all at once those clouds were
turned into a huge black funnel with
a small tip on the ground. 1 know
what it meant and I ducked for
shelter.
That cloud, or funnel, travelled fast,
and although it was quite dark,
could see big objects lifted off the
ground and sent whirling upward and
around. 1t was a terrifying thing to
watch. It struck Tupelo squarely in
the middle and seemed to be coming
directly from the West.
Buildings Crumble.
It tore into the houses in the western
part of the city and shattered them
like they were bits of kindling or piles
of leaves. Wreckage and debris was
flying around in the air. 1t continued
its course straight through the center
of the town, plowing a path about
three blocks wide. Every house 1t
touched seemed to crumble and COL
lapse into a pile of jagged and
splintered lumber.
heard people shouting and scream
ing. I heard groans and cries that
wrenched the heart. But those in the
houses outside the storms path
couldn't very we'll get out until winds
died down. No man could have stood
on his feet in that storm.
The racket was simply deafening
It was all over in 10 or IS minutes,
and those who passed through safely
went out to help those in the storms
path The town then was dark. There
were rescue parties out all the rest of
the night.
This morning I went through
Thearea. and figured fully 80 houses
and small business buildings had been
destroyed or practically so. I was told
that I'D to about 3 o'clock about 60
bodies had been identified.
The loss will certainly reach several
million dollars. I believe that about
800 persons were injured seriously
enough to require treatment.
All over the city temporary shelters
were prepared for the treatment of the
injured, and the dead were laid out in
rows. Churches, theaters and business
houses were made into temporary hos
pitals. Early this morning National

The tornado struck Tupelo at BIT
pm, virtually demolishing Willis

Its residents were taken. without
warning. j. Fred Price, publisher of
the Tupelo Daily News, whose home
was demolished. said the tornado
roared in all of sudden like "a line

Tupelo's business section emerged
without great damage, except for the
breaking of plate glass windows, blow
ing down of signs and ittering of the
streets with debris.

the occupants drowned.
At least 10 victims were pulled from
the water alive.
Tupelo was isolated for several
hours by the blow, but after q single
line of communication had been es-
tablished, news of the disaster was
conveyed to Meridian, Miss, and a
special unit of the Red Cross was
rushed here.
Mayor J. B. Beasley of Red Bay,

tSOIJlIlueQ from t1TSG PaRe,)
anxious to keep the Hauptmann case
out of politics, said the statement of
former Representative Franklin w.
Fort. opposing the Governors candi-
dacy, made that impossible.
Fort, one-time secretary to the Ma
tional Republican Committee, said he
would oppose the Governor for dele
gate-at-iarge solely on the question
Of the Governors activity in the
Hauptmann case. He said he could
not remain silent when a Governor
makes mockery of our courts and
juries and drags his high Office into
the mire"
Refuses to Withdraw.
In order that the issue may be clear
cut, Fort flee for Gov Alfred M. Lam
don of Kansas for the presidential
nomination, as did Hoffman and three
others chosen on the State Commit
tees delegate-at-large slate. The
Governor refused to. withdraw from
the race.
There may be an aftermath of
Hauptmann's execution on the floor
of the Legislature tonight, when the
Governor presses for adoption of a
resolution calling for sweeping leg
islative investigation of the Lindbergh
kidnap-murder case.
The Governor said he would ask
Assemblyman John M Kerner to in
troduce the resolution, but Kerner
was undecided what to do. He said
he would confer with Republican as
sociates, SOL of whom discouraged
such move when first planned two
weeks ago.
The disposition on the part of many
legislative leaders was to frown on an
investigation, believing that no good
would come of it. They expressed be-
lief the committee would probably
submit majority and minority reports,
upholding and condemning the Gov
ernor, according to the political make
up of the committee. p"
Some Republicans also felt a public
investigation, because of the divergent
views of party leaders, would hurt the
party in g. presidential year.
