 LEAVING DEATH, DESTRUCTION

southern Oklahoma and killed at least five persons. Another person was killed near Paris, Texas, as a series of tornadoes skipped around north Texas.
 The tornado lashed out of a black rainstorm. An estimated 100000 persons watched as it swayed a leisurely, jerky course from South Oak Cliff thru West Dallas and Northwest Dallas. For 40 horror-filled minutes the lash ing funnel filled the dark sky above a frozen city.
 The twister came on election day, just as rush hour traffic was starting shortly after 4 pm.
 Traffic piled up into fantastic jams all over western Dallas.
 Like a Freight Train"
 "Oh, Lawd, it roared down like a freight train and then was on us tearing our house down." Robert Thurman, 31, rsObbed. Blood oOzed from a wound in his head. He trembled from shock as he sat beside his injured wife at Park land Hospital. She wept quietly, sitting in wheel chair.
 The hospital was jammed with crying, wailing, bloody people. There were dozens of children, many numb and soaked with blood.
 The funnel was one of a series of twisters which hopped over the state. Other scattered injuries and damage were reported. A wide band of the northwest part of Texas was under severe weather warning.
 Panic in inc Streets
 Panic rose in the streets as the traffic piled up.
 i've got to get out of this jam its hitting my house and my wife is home," a fearful old man begged and cried.
 Many simply abandoned their autos, fearing the tornado was heading toward them. Police cars and ambulances, their sirens screaming, fought for passage.

Alaska's Power
 Future Seen as in Pacific Northwest

SEATTLE, R--A prediction that in the mot too distant fu ture" Alaska may see the same kind of power development as in the Pacific Northwest was made today before the opening session of the three-day Northwest Pub lie Power Assn convention.
 The forecast was by Brig. Gen. Louis H. Foote, Portland, district engineer for the US. Army Corps of Engineers. Gen. Foote was un- able to attend because he was called to Washington but it was read for him.
 In the address, Gen. Foote said about 25 million kilowatts of hy- droelectric power are being gen erated in the US. now. Incom- plete studies of Alaska indicate, he said, there are about Is million kilowatts there of reasonably priced power available for devel- opment."

 Further investigations are now either under way or contemplated at Wood Canyon, Cooper Lake, Ptarmigan Lake, Bradley Lake and Grant Lake in the Dillingham; area, and several other sites in southeastern Alaska.

Alaska Questionnaires

 T am amazed at this," Miller said. T thought it would be the other way around" Miller said, however, he still thinks he will support statehood.
 Miller said those opposed to inn mediate statehood point out that taxes in Alaska are now higher per capita than in any state in the United States. He said they be- lieve statehood would increase the rate.

Reports That Ike Will Resign Are Worst Rot
By Marvin L. Arrowsmith

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower said today reports he will resign before the end of his second term and turn his duties over to Vice President Nixon are the worst rot he has heard since taking office.
 Eisenhower also told news conference, in comment on his speedy trip to Gettysburg last Friday, he has issued orders that his limousine is never to exceed the speed limit at any place.
 A reporter told Eisenhower there have been reports and ru- mors lately that he might step out of the presidency when world conditions permit and have Nixon take over.
 Eisenhower appeared to regis ter some surprise. Then he said emphatically those reports are the worst rot he has heard since he has been in office.
 Showing irritation, the PreSi- dent said he knows of no reason why any speculative writer should doubt his basic integrity and hon. esty. He recalled that when he announced for a second term he reported that his doctors felt he was able to carry on, and that he himself had decided he was able.

 KEEP CONRTOL
 OF US. SENATE
By ROBERT E. FORD

DALLAS, R-Democrats nailed down control of the US. Senate today with a victory by Ralph Marlborough over his other sena- torial candidates.
 The affable Marlborough, 53, came back from four previous election defeats to swamp another Democrat, the nationally known Rep. Martin Dies of the Un-Amer- ican Activities Committee fame, and the COP hopeful, Thad Hutcheson, his only close oppo- nentS.
 Republicans had high hopes of winning with Hutcheson and talk ing over Senate leadership. The Democrats have a paper-thin 49- 47 edge there now. A COP victory would have created a 48-48 tie which Vice President Nixon could break in favor of the Republicans.
 The victor is a strong party packer. He refused to bolt to President Eisenhower in 1852 and 1856 when many Texas Democrats went over to the Presidents side.
 Eisenhowed carried this nor mally Democratic state both times.

SOm-wATER MANAGEMENT
Two Dutch Scientists Visit Kent
Soil Conservation District

Improvement in soil and water
management technique are expect
ed to result from the recent visit
of two eminent Dutch scientists
to the Kent County Soil Conser-
walton District.
DR.. c. H. Edelman, a soil sci
enlist, and DR.. ]. M. van Staver-
en-, an engineer, are on a months
tour of coastal areas in nine
states from Texas to New Jersey.
In each state they have observed
local problems of water control
and soil management with Soil
Conservation Service technicians.
Mr.. Fred Mott, Soil Conserva-
zionist for Kent County, acted as
host for the two internationally
known experts while they visited
several local farms with the con-
servation service specialist in
soils and drainage engineering.
The Francis Bergold farm, east
of Dover, was the first stop where
irrigation of tomatoes and pota-
toes from a dugout pond was OBJ
served, and irrigation water man.
agement problems were discussed.
( The next farm visited was the
Ernest Zimmerman farm, east of
Dover, where irrigation of pota-
toes from a deep well and various
rotations of potatoes were dis
cussed. The growing of potatoes
on poorly drained soil was of
great interest to the visitors.
A complete farm drainage bed
ding system was seen on the Ro-
land Garrison farm on the White
Oak Road. The last stop was at
the Bombay Hook Migratory
Waterfowl Refuge where the
group observed large dams that
control salt and fresh water for
better wildlife management.
When asked if our marshlands
would make good cropland, DIR.
Edelman observed that, by
draining the water out of the
marsh soil it will allow air to en-
ter the soil, and oxidation will
occur to form a very acid soili
This acid condition would pose a
tremendous problem to bring the
PHI of the soil up to required
amounts for agricultural crops"
The field studies were concluded
with seminar at Soil Conserva-
tion Service Headquarters in
Washington May 20 and 81.

have been indications that this
number will be increased during
the coming year.
The restaurant and trailer park

provided between the plots for
the persons using the tents. The
tent regulations provide that any
conventional type fabric tent is
permitted, as is also screened

bleitis to score an 30 victory
over Howard University of

played in a Snowstorm.
The win was Lincoln's second
of the season against five losses
and its goth over Howard since

Howard. which closed out its
season with a 3--6--3 record,
has won over the Pennsylva-

have ended in a tie and one.

contest.
Lincoln was by far the SUI
perior team today. grinding out
222 yards on the ground while
holding the Bisons to a mere
five. Towards deepest pene-
tration during the game came
midway in the second period
and carried to the Lincoln AZ
yard line.
The snow and mud. which
produced Is fumbles. did little
to stop the Lincoln team after
the half as the Pennsylvanians
rolled up III of their 222 yards.
1t was a different story in
the first period. however. as
fumbles resulted in the ball
