Economists Not Sure

NEW YORK-Wall Street econ
omists are not convinced that the
proposed investment of ten per
cent of everyone's income in war
bonds would be desirable as uni
verssl practice. Private obligs-
tions cannot be liquidated in day.
Leases frequently run for several
years. Reduction in the standard
of living can be only a gradual
process. otherwise wholesale de-
faults and bankruptcies occur.
They believe that the govern
ment should siphon off one-tenth
of increased war profits rather
than the same rate of earnings
which have remained stable or
have declined. Moreover. eompul-
sorry placing of a large percentage
Of ones salary in war stamps

PRYOR, Ok1a--Rescue workers
dug into wrecked buildings in the
war boom town of Pryor Tuesday,
searching for victims of a tornado
that killed at least 70 persons.
They expected to find still
more bodies In an area of two
square miles, which had not
yet been searched.
The business district of the
town was leveled by the storm
which struck during the evening
rush hour Monday while 5000
construction workers employed at
the Oklahoma ordnance plant
were on the streets
The Red Cross reported
Tuesday that at least 70
bodies had been recovered and
that some 500 persons were
injured. many critically. Three
thousands were reported
homeless.
Doctors and nurses were sum-
moned from nearby towns in north
eastern Oklahoma to aid in treat
ing the injured. Truckloads of
foods and supplies were sent into
the area and Red Cross disaster
workers were called from st.
Louis and Oklahoma City to aid
in providing help for the victims.
PLANT Is MISSED
The tornado swept through
Pryor shortly after the change of
shifts at the $4,000, 900 ordnance
plant. but it skirted the plant.
State Highway Patrolman Cecil
Fishburn, who saw the tornado
coming as he drove toward the
town. sped through with his siren
screaming and called to pedes-
TRANS:
Get In your Easements.
But many looked at him in be-
wilderment.
Some of the residential areas
escaped damage, but buildings in
the business district collapsed in
mounds of brick and wood.
BRUSHED OFF TRACK
Housing facilities in the town
already have been overtaxed be-
cause of the influx of construc-
ton workers employed at the
ordnance plant and damage TO
residences aggravated the short
age. The population of Pryor.
now about 5000, has almost
doubled since construction of the
plant began.
A shuttle train operating be-
tween the plant and the near
BY town of vinita had just
pulled into town. The loco
motive and is ears were
brushed off the track. and
dozens of passengers were
killed or injured.
Telegraph and telephone lines
were broken. cutting eommunica-
ton between Pryor and nearby
cities.
Injured we're taken To two
Pryor hospitals where overworkeo
doctors handled emergency cases
under the light Of flashlights and
oil lanterns. Their power supplies
