MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED (Continued From Page 1) hold back survivors from entering the armory until it could be "cleaned up." Red Cross workers issued smelling salts, and set up spare cots to care for survivors overcome with shock on finding their dead. State police reported earlier today 137 persons had been killed in Michigan but revised their figures downward.

They said there had been some overlapping in counting before a "centralized" tally was begun at the armory. However, they said the final death count might surpass even the original report of 137 killed. In addition to the 97 dead in the Beecher district, three were killed 20 miles to the east at Columbia ville, and one near Imlay City, 20 miles still farther east, where the tornado hopscotched to earth on a farm. I A smaller twister killed a Highland Park policeman and his wife, Mr. and Mrs.

In Ohio, two were dead at Cleveland and one at suburban Elyria, fclus eight at Bowling Green.

1 Tornados usually are preceded by heavy rain and hailstorms, driving people to shelter and keeping casualties at a minimum. But the twisters struck Monday evening with little or no warning. It was the second time In less than three weeks that deadly tornadoes had struck Michigan. But the twister that ripped the populous Port Huron, area May. 21 was heralded by a heavy hailstorm 'which drove people indoors, and though damage was $10,000,000, only six persons were killed.

In the wake of Monday's tornadoes, Michigan State Police Commissioner Joseph Childs ordered 80 extra men to the Flint area and called all men on leave back to duty. Detroit Police Commissioner Donald S. Leonard dispatched several squads of his men to Fint to help identify the dead. The first twister struck at Temperance, Mich at 6:30 p.m. It ripped across heavily-travelled U.

S. highways 24 and 25, tossing trucks and cars Into the air. William Davis of Oak Park, said he saw three cars carried through the air at the same time. Their drivers had taken cover. The twister picked up a huge trailer-truck and shook it like a cat worrying a mouse.

Lesser tornadoes struck at Pleasant Lake, 50 miles southwest of Detroit, and Milford, 50 miles northwest; and at East Tawas. The worst of all swooped Into the Flint area. More than 275 wert reported 1 Maple Parle irl Is Wed I. On Saturday Mr. and Mrs.
