Civil War Unubuted

A pleasant young professor
who Is devoting himself to
chronicling the plain people Of
the Civil War came to town
recently and reported his prog
resS. He is Bell Wiley, teach
er Of history at Emory Uni
verSity In Atlanta and author
OF "The Life Of Johnny Reb"
and "The Life Of Billy Yank."
Recently he took time on
from his long-term project Of
boiling the history of the Con-
federacy down to one volume,
to edit one Of the choicest and
rarest curiosities Of the Civil
War, the memoirs Of w. W.
Hertsill, who printed his "1491
Days in the Confederate Army"

trated it with photographs
sent him by old comrades in
arms.
Mr.. Hertsill, a prewar
travelling salesman and post
war storekeeper, had, accord

esting war, which he reported

Vealing fashion.

supportable. Accordingly, they

The new edition of the "1491

itself to printing sources, ref
erences and monographs in
Southern history.
DR.. Wiley notes that the
clamor for Civil War books
has not abated a whit, al
though he can't help noticing
that Southerners and North
erners both prefer those about
the "glamorous" lost cause of
the Confederacy.
BY way Of illustration. he
points out that "The Life of
Billy Yank" sold just half as
well as "The Life of Johnny
Reb."

That's the way John J. Turbin
OF Coldwater Road described the
tornado that spread death and dew

Turbin and his wife and two rel.

Carl and his wife came In search
of the Turbins when they heard of

sagging Turbin home, Mrs. Carl
Turbin said: II just knew they
were dead"
Instead Of finding death, they
found Carts father, despite his ter
rifying experience, out helping res.

Carl and his 6-year-old son
Dennis had just left the elder Tur-
bins home minutes before the
twister struck. They were storing
some of Carts belongings in the
barn, which was blown away after
they left it.
With John Turbin and his wife

Searches For
Dead And Injured

FLINT, Mich. R-A rash of tor

tating of an epidemic year, left an
estimated 11s persons dead in
Southeastern Michigan and North
western Ohio today.
The pail hung far the heaviest
over this stricken industrial area.
where the death list neared 100.
State police and National Guard
search crews worked through the
night, probing through shattered
homes, piles of debris sucked up

to expose more casualties.

All in all, more than 200 persons
were injured and property damage
ran into the millions.
At least a dozen persons were
killed in two Ohio tornadoes. Eight
were killed in the Cygnet area,
two at Cleveland, and one each at
Elyria and Ceylon.
In Michigan four persons were
known dead near Erie, Just north
of Toledo and the Ohio-Michigan
line. A Highland Park, Mich, cou-
pie was found dead in their tor

near Tawas City, and their two
children were missing. One other
death was feared in the county.
One man was killed near Ann
Arbor, in Washtenaw County, and
one in Lapeer County, near Brown
City.
Apparently the same tornado
which wrought SO much destruc-

through Lapeer County also cut

Says Americans
Must Continue
To Back Ike's
Foreign Policy
By ERNEST 3. VAccARo

KANSAS CITY Up - Harry S.
Truman called today for firm sup
port of President Eisenhower dur
ing the critical negotiations in
Korea.
The former President declined
all comment on developments in
that war-torn country and suggest
ed a similar course for others not
in authority "and not in possession
of the facts
'In a critical time like this, !"
Truman said in an interview,
s'there can be but one American
foreign policy. The President of
the United States has the facts.
We must support him in what he
does and recommends. Any other
course could lead only to con-
fusion"
The 6o-year-old Democrat who
held the reins of the u. S. govern
ment for nearly eight years kept
abreast of developments through
newspaper and radio accounts.
But he knew, from his own expe-
rience in the White House, that a
vast amount of secret information
which cannot be made immediate
ly available to the public, pours
into the President.
His own files from the White
House, loaded with information
concerning World War II and the
first Is months of the Korean fight
ing, are under strict guard at the
nearby Jackson County Court
house. Some of this information,
he once told reporters, cannot be
made available to the public for
IS years-some maybe not even
then.
These files are one day to be
removed to the Harry S. Truman
Library to be erected on the old
family farm at Grandview, Mo.
It is in the interest of this library
project for which friends are UNI
dertaking to raise Ia million dol
lars, that Truman is making his
first trip East since he left the
White House Jan. 20.

But the Sun coming thru the
window gave warmth and life and
