(Pi A toll of 126 dead and hundreds injured was reported today in the wake of a tornado which left a twisted trail of devastation and horror thru southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. Scores were reported missing from homes demolished by a sudden, deadly, swirling wind which last night spent its fury on towns, villages, and farm and coal country from the outskirts of Pittsburgh more than 100 miles into West Virginia. Authorities feared Ihe list of dead would increase as rescuers battled their way thru the wreck age and searched the hills and hol lows of West Virginia.

At dawn, 10 hours after a fun nel-shaped cloud descended first on Pennsylvania and then in its neighboring state, rescue squads redoubled their efforts to locate bodies Every hour brought reports of death and destruction in new sec tions of West Virginia. The death toll there rose steadily this morn ing from 53 to 95 victims. In Pennsylvania 31 were reported dead in rural areas from Mchees port, near Pittsburgh, to the state line near Waynesburg. Pittsburgh itself was not hit. Whole Blocks Levelled Hundreds were made homeless as whole blocks in some communities were levelled.

Hospitals were filled with the injured Worst hit apparently was the little town of Shinnston. a coal town of 2.800 a dozen miles from Clarksburg, W. Va. A Red Cross representative reported 58 bodies had been recovered from that vicinity. The representative.

Mrs. Lola Heavner, said possibly a hundred persons still were unaccounted for. Dorsey Bailey of the West Virginia state police said: "We are certain to find more bodies."

Coleman yesterday failed to win renewal of his contract for another year. A three-man majority of the city board of education composed of Mrs. Mary Hunt, the Rev. F. Rus sell Purdy and Milan Ross, cast negative votes that meant the end of the career of Mr.

Coleman in Asbury Park's public school system after four years of service. The vote climaxed a discussion of almost two hours that left the reasons for the action still obscure. The final decision was reached after Dr. Joseph G. Villapiano had been forced to vacate the president's chair to second a motion presented by Dr.

Eugene F. Rockafel-ler that called for a one-year renewal of the superintendent's contract at a $300 salary increase. More than 30 women and a half dozen men appeared at the special hoard session to back Superintendent Coleman's reappointment, but saw their efforts go for naught as the motion died by a three to two count. Successor Not Named The board gave no indication who would succeed Mr. Coleman hen the school year expires June 30.

"We would like to know if his contract Is going to he renewed, and if not, why." Mis.

An American submarine rammed three torpedoes into the vitals of the costly Shokaku class flat-top Sunday and the navy, disclosing the action last night, conservatively stated "the Japanese carrier is regarded as probably sunk." Sunday was the day Jap carriers loosed a costly, long distance attack on the U. S. invasion fleet at Saipan. The navy already had announced that American carrier planes, giving chase to the enemy fleet Monday, sank four enemy ships, including a 19.000-ton carrier, and damaged 10 olher ships, including' a battleship, two 19.000 ton carriers, a light carrier and a cruiser.
