More than 600 hot dinners were served Sunday night to residents, firemen, police, volunteers and National Guardsmen from two mobile canteens in Hartwell and another in Madeira and at the new Hartwell School, Vine Street and Galbraith Road, consolidated emergency center.

Some refugees, like Mrs. Kathleen Heck, a 27-year-old Silverton widow whose home was demolished, exemplify what Spicer called "the undetermined number of self-sufficient victims." She returned from a week's vacation in Kentuckv to find the roof of her five-room brick home at 7022 East St. dumped in the nearby Silverton Playfield. Windows were smashed. Every room soaked.

Walls crumbled. Mrs. Hec and her two small boys will stay at her mother's house for a while. "You wouldn't believe how great the neighbors have been," she said. "They packed things in boxes.

They carried away furniture and stored it up the street. Everyone's been wonderful" Others were not so fortunate. Gov. James A. Rhodes, in designating the Red Cross as the official relief agency, urged citizens to send donations to the local chapter, otherwise supported by the United Appeal.

Most individuals and families, the chief concern of the Red Cross, would not benefit greatly from the Federal Government's expected disaster area" designation, which would help rebuild roads, government buildings, waterworks, and provide loan assistance to small businesses, officials said. THOSE PRIVATE persons having disaster-caused needs are askPd to report to headquarters or the new Hartwell School for interviews by professional caseworkers In some places the wearisome task of cleaning up became a party. At the home of Mrs. Anna Reising, 4007 Deer Park Deer Park, the whole family including relatives, was cutting trees and drinking beer. On North Avenue in Silverton a family was having cake and lemonade while sorting debris.

Silverton Councilman Joseph Fariello, 4125 North noted that August 10 to 18 was proclaimed last week by the mayor as "Neighborhood Week," which he agreed is appropriate after the storm. The Good Samaritans of Greater Cincinnati let themselves be heard Sunday.

Typical of the calls, which came from as far away as BatavU. Ohio, and Florence, was that of a young girl who said her family was on vacation and their home would be available for the next two weeks. Another call came from a soldier in Vietnam, checking on tne welfare of his family. Spicer, who believes some storm refugees may be left homeless for 60 days or longer, said no one will be moved "until we can make a better assessment of our needs."

Designation of Hamilton County as a Federal disaster area is expected today or Tuesday following a tornado that knifed through northeastern suburbs, taking four lives, injuring 264 and causing damage that might total $15 million. The dead: Mrs. Carolyn De Borde, 21. Two of her four sons, Delbert, five; Rodney, three. Mrs.

Zelphia Taylor, 45, Williamsburg, Ohio. Firemen discovered the De Bordes beneath a pile of debris on the first floor of an apartment building at 200 E. Galbraith Rd Hartwell. Semiconscious nearby were the husband, Chester, 27, and two other sons, Thomas, six, and Willie, one year. They are listed in critical condition at General Hospital.

THE DE BORDES lived on the third floor and apparently were trapped trying to escape. Mrs. Taylor died Sunday in Bethesda Hospital. Police reported she and her husband were in an auto flipped over several times by high winds Saturday evening at Reading and Galbraith Rds. She received head injuries and never regained consciousness.

Her husband, Norman, 46, remains in the hospital in fair condition. The full impact of the disaster did not become apparent until after daylight Sunday. The tornado, spawned out of black clouds and swirling winds, started its seven-mile hop-scotch path of death and destruction near the exclusive Williamsburg of Cincinnati apartments, 200 W. Galbraith Rd not far from Vine Street. Before the tornado had spent its strength near Clermont County, it had sliced through Hartwell, a Cincinnati suburb; Reading, Silver-ton, Deer Park, Amberley Village, Arlington Heights, Madeira, Terrace Park and unincorporated areas in Springfield and Sycamore 'Clean' Astronauts Cleared For Earth SPACE CENTER, Houston A quarantine that started 21 days ago on the lonely surface of the Moon ended Sunday night for the Apollo 11 astronauts as they returned to their homes.

Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Al-drin Jr. and Michael Collins, smiling, waving and shaking every hand in sight, walked through a gray door that had shut them off from the world and started home to families last seen almost five weeks ago. The spacemen were cleared to leave the artificial, treated atmosphere of their quarantine chambers after doctors said they could find no indication of alien germs or infection from the austronauts' contact with Moon dust.

Michael J. Maloney of Hamilton County, and Cincinnati City Manager Richard L. Krabach, said he considered the situation much worse than Toledo's after a Palm Sunday twister last spring. The Red Cross, designated by the governor as the official disaster co ordinating agency, reported at nightfall Sunday that at least 1500 homeless persons were being cared for, some of them at Hartwell Public School. Before today is over, Governor Rhodes expects to have cn his desk an estimate of the property losses compiled by the Red Cross, Civil Defense and officials of affected communities.

He will relay these estimates to President Nixon who already has been unofficially alerted to the situation. Under the designation of disaster area, the affected sectors will become eligible for Federal funds. Meantime, 700 members of the Ohio National Guard under Gen. S. T.

Del Corso are augmenting weary local police in patrolling the stricken areas. They may stay until midweek. THE CITY of Cincinnati's muscle was thrown into the cleanup battle early Sunday. City Manager Krabach gave the word: "Let's forget the paper work and even the regulations, if necessary. Disasters like this have no municipal boundaries." His directive released urgently-needed heavy equipment, including bulldozers, trucks, front-end loaders, street sweepers and chain saws.

THE REELING suburbs didn't need manpower, though. In Madeira, one of the hardest hit, Mayor Daniel D. McDonald reported that almost 700 volunteers showed up to augment the community's own people. Madeira, as elsewhere, midafter-noon Sunday saw most streets and highways cleared of trees, limbs, shrubbery, shattered glass and strips of metal. But travel was restricted to utility crews who perspired at unraveling tangled power lines and stripping shattered poles.

Wide areas remained without electricity, the chief consequence being the danger of food spoilage from "dead" refrigerators. -Enquirer (Bob Free) Photo Roof Ripped From Reading Apartments damage at Lakeshore Drive Apartments j(v lain Actress' Auto Sought Page Page Action Line .15 Graham 31 Amuse 12,13 Horoscope ...25 Bridge 31 Horse Sense .23 Business 57 Jumble 9 Classified People 2 Columnists .7 Society 18-19 Comics 33 Sports 49-54, 58 Crossword ...27 TV-Radio ....54 Dear Abby ...17 Weikel 55 Deaths 34 Women's Editorials 6 Word Game .22 Kentucky News 56 and 58 LOS ANGELES (UPI) Actress Sharon Tate and four other persons slain at a secluded Bel Air home were apparently caught unaware by intruders who cut the phones and then murdered them with knives and guns, police said Sunday.
