Truman Aid Program
Advances Real Peace,
.UNESC0 Head Asserts
By the Associated Press

hi CLEVELAND Mar. 31.-The
director general of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization said
today that plans for aid to the
worlds retarded countries repre-
sent significant first step on
the high road that will eventually
lead to a real peace"
DR.. Jaime Torres Bodet OF
Mexico said "the greatest con-
tribution we can make to peace
is to enlist the widest cooperation
in satisfying basic human needs,
beginning with the greatest needs
of the largest number.
DR.. Torres Bodet addressed the
program committee of the second
national conference of the United
States National Commission for
UNESCO.
Two thousand delegates are at
tending the three-day conference.
DR.. Torres Bodet saw great
announcement" in the proposals
of the U. N. Economic and Social
Council to speed President Tru-
mans bold new program" for aid
to under developed countries.
Plan Ordered Drafted.
The council at its winter meet
ing which ended two weeks ago
instructed the U. N. secretariat to
draft a comprehensive aid plan
in time for consideration at its
July meeting in Geneva.
The director general said he was
distressed over the present inter-
national tensions and that it was
urgent that UNESCO begin very
soon to produce concrete results"
UNESCO projects which would
be given first consideration under
a new system of priorities, he said,
involve aid to under-developed
countries.
Among the most noteworthy OF
these. he said, is the program OF
the Hylean Amazon Institute, set
up under UNESCO direction to
study the potentialities for de-
velopment of the vast resources
in South Americas Amazon river
system.
Other projects include the send
ing of educational missions to
retarded areas, establishment of
international organizations Of
social scientists, cultural activities,
studies of copyright legislation,
and stimulation of exchange Of
scholars between nations.

Two Tornadoes Leave
; Dead, Z Injured in
i Oklahoma Towns
BY the Assoeioted Press

CANTON, Okla, Mar. 31.-The
terror that tornadoes brought to
seven Oklahoma communities gave
way today to the dreary job of re-
building.
There were three deaths and
more than a dozen victims are
still in hospitals with serious in
juries.
The twisters. probably just two
of them, churned from Oklahoma
to Kansas along the diagonal face
of a stationary cold front early
yesterday.
Reading from southwest to
northeast, the first one hit Canton,
Longdale, Homestead and Isabella.
The second tornado, headed the
same way but farther north,
passed close to Enid and Medford
and raked Blackwell en- route to
Kansas. Each did up to half a
million dollars damage.
Buildings Ripped Open.
The first was the worst. It tore
part of, Canton down and killed
Charles Showers, 80, and Mrs. c..
w. Godfrey, about 80. Then it
hoped 7 miles to Longdale-
and killed 12-year-old Larry Ar
mold. 1t passed on to rip open
homes and buildings in the viii
lagos of Homestead and Isabella.
The second twister hit only
glancing blows. It struck rural
buildings near Medford, partly
destroyed an airport near Enid.
and did its worst damage at
Blackwell. injuring half-a- dozen,
and tearing down a school and
several homes.
1t apparently crossed the line
into Kansas. and injured three
persons on farms near Winfield.
AS with all tornadoes, there was
freak damage. A brick church
was razed to the ground, but
across the alley a f1lmsy frame
garage stood untouched.
Girl Snatched From Home.
A 6-month-old baby girl was
snatched from her home and set
down gently in a field several
hundred feet away.
One house was unmarked out
side-but the inside was crammed
with debris carried through the
windows by the blast.
Although tornado winds are ma
lures most concentrated weather
fury, their peculiar destruction
comes from the extreme low pres
sure, a near vacuum that appar-
emily lies in the vortex.
Surrounded by this sudden
vacuum, houseful of air bursts
outward like a bomb blast, scat
tering the timbers far and wide.
The house of Charles Showers
was taken apart almost nail by
nail and spread over 10 acres.
The body was found 200 feet
from the foundation.
