back pay in cases OF unwar-
ranted separations, firings, sus-
pensions or demotions. the pro-
posed legislation also would
provide the retroactive restora-
ton Of benefits such as annual
and sick leave, seniority and re-
tirement credit in back-pay
cases.
The administration's proposal
would apply TO future casei
and not TO any that occurred
before enactment.

Eress that the existing laws arr

BESSEMER, Ala, Mar. s
(AP). - Marshall Collins is
probably the only man in his
tory ever to ride out the full
force Of q tornado at the top
Of a 40-foot pole.
Mr.. Collins. SO. was perched
In a 6x6-foot "spacehouse"
mounted on q telephone pole
as part Of a publicity stunt for
q Bessemer radio station,
VIVIAN.
He was discussing the wealth.
er by telephone with a station
newsman when the tornado
struck with all its fury yester-
day.
Everything started shaking
and the phone was knocked
out Of my hand" Mr.. Collins
said.
He estimated the swing at
the top OF the pole 70 be q foot
and q half.
He had been in the plywood-
and-plastic house for almost
IL days.
splintering Sound
The newsman said he heard
Mr.. Collins shout that he had
to bail out Of this thing"
Then came the sound Of splin-
tering wood and what the
newsEnan thought was the
sound Of Tapping and ripping
plastic.
Seatcover plastic over q light
frame was used as the roof Of
the "spacehouse."
Spaceman Collins was in the
midst Of what was described by
local newsmen as probably the
worst tornado in history in
which no one was killed.
A rope had been anchored

! in the spacehouse as q protec-
ton for Mr.. Collins against the
hazard Of fire. He was equipped
with heavy gloves which he
could use TO slide down the
rope without injuring his
hands.
After he had bailed out Of
the house. Mr.. Collins said he
realized that the ground was
coming UP too fast. He looped
his leg over a power line lead
ing from the roof Of a nearby
building to his house.
"All I can remember seeing
from up there we're the roofs
Of two buildings collapsing on
both sides of me and a steel
sign being ripped apart" he
said.
Made Of Steel
The sign Mr.. Collins mem
toned measured an estimated
20 by 80 feet and was about
IS inches thick. It was made
Of sheet steel over a heavy
steel frame.
There was not enough of it
left after the twister to be
recognizable.
The roof of the building he
described as collapsing was
more than q block long.
It was almost totally de-
molished.

However, the threat Of fur
Their overflows maine d in
many sections of the flood
stricken regions of Ohio. West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and In
diana. And cities in Kentucky
along the surging Ohio River
were possible danger spots.
There also was some high
and spreading water in Western
Maryland. North Carolina and
Tennessee.
The floodwaters from rivers
and streams swollen by heavy
rains and melting snow were
blamed for at least 10 deaths,
including four in Ohio, three

diana and one in Tennessee.
Many Roads Closed
Hundreds Of roads through
out the four-State area were
closed. Many towns were iso-
lated and schools and indus
trial plants were closed in some
communities. Train and bus
service was delayed and in some
places halted.
National Guard troops, civil
defense groups and Red Cross
disaster units Joined In aiding
the flood victims.
The chief bright spot in the
dreary flood picture was the
tapering off Of the heavy rains
which have pounded the re-
gion for the last several days.
Weather observers said the in
dication Of clearing weather
greatly lessened the threat Of
major flooding.
Tornado Strikes
In other parts Of the Nation,

Nugent had installed a shot

the deep man, and also had
put in a passing formation
with three wingbacks in an eff
fort to catch Duke by surprise.
I'VE prepared Sinners subs
for it," Nugent said but they
just don't have his ability.
After being hurt, Sinner just
couldn't run. The doctor said
he could go back in without in
juring himself further if he
didn't try to run, but that re-
moved the deception we had
! planned"
Sinner sat out all of the Sec
ond quarter, plus a couple Of
other portions of the game, and
Nugent shuffled among Mike
Funk, Hank Lilly and Bob Sui
Ivan in an effort to find a sat-
isfactory replacement. Funk
did a good job for awhile, par
ticularly on bootleg rollouts,
but he also was shaken up
later.
Sinner said his injury came
late in the first quarter on
Maryland's firs t touchdown
drive when he crashed 8 yards
on a fourth-down keeper play
to the Duke 10. Although he
fired a pass to Daryl Hill for
the touchdown on the next
play, it was obvious he was in
pain.
The injury was described as
a bruise on the point of the
hip, which usually is more pain
full than serious. Sinner walked
the sidelines in the second
period with an ice bag on his
hip and had the injured part
frozen at half time.

SMU Hands
FaICOnsFirst
Defeat, 100

DALLAS, Oct. 5 (AP).-A
savage defense, the passing of
Danny Thomas and the kicking
of John Richey helped South
ern Methodist knock Air Force
from footballs unbeaten ranks,
100, today in a Earring upset.
A blocked kick led to Richey's
26-yard field goal in the first
period. A tumble recovery set
the Mustangs on the way to a
touchdown in the second pc
Rod, with Thomas passing for
40 yards in sparkling a 68-yard
touchdown drive. The SMU pass
defense and ball-hawking line
men held Air Force at bay.
A crowd of 10000 looked on
in the Cotton Bowl.
Terry Isaacson, the Air Force
quarterback, was a threat all
the way but it was his pass
that Tommy Caughran inter-
cepted in the second period
and returned 70 yards to wipe
out the most serious threat of
a score made by the Falcons.
The South ern Methodist
touchdown was by John Rod
erick, a "a man in the 100
yard dash, who came out for
football for the first time this
year. He made it with a 2-yard
run. Richey added the extra
point.
Thomas 19-yard pass to
Richey and a 30-yard pass to
John Graves were the big
punches in the touchdown
drive.
