(UPI)-Sixwere slain and four wounded today by a man who ran through the California State University campus firing a rifle. Police said the suspect fled In his own car to a nearby hotel and called police in neighboring Anaheim to identify himself as "the man who did the shooting at Cal State" and asking officers to "come and get me." Anaheim police called Fullerton offi cers who arrested Ed Charles Allaway, 37, without resistance Police found a rifle covered by a blanket in the back of Allaway's car at the hotel.

No reason was given for the assault. Allaway had been employed as a maintenance man at the school for about a month. Officers and paramedics found one person shot outside the library and the others either in the library or the basement of the library. The first victim identified was May-nard Hoffman, head custodian of the library and apparently the first to be shot. Also identified were William R.

Schultz, an administrator in the instructional media center; Bruce Jacobson, a custodian, and Steve Becker, identified as the son of Dr. Ernest Becker, director of career planning and placement. The son was employed in the library. Jenny Galvan, a secretary in the bilingual education department in the basement." She said she and Corona then ran from the scene. Capt.

Carmon Johnson of the paramedic team said it was "just damn gruesome. I've been on a lot of medical aid calls but I've never seen anything like this. "They were just dropped in their tracks with Pepsi cans and papers in their hands. I looked down a long hallway and saw bullet shells and bodies from hell to breakfast. It looked like Vietnam." (identified as a custodian working in the area)." Another witness, Maria Martinez, was working in the basementand said she and her supervisor, Richard Corona, were walking upstairs when they passed the suspect heading down.

Ms. Martinez said when they reached (he top of (he stairs "we saw a man on the floor groaning. Just then we heard a shot which appeared to come from the first lower level of the library, said she heard a noise that "sounded like a firecracker and then someone came running. That person, I don't know who it was, said that someone had been shot." Mrs. Galvan said she and two other women in the room ran out of the office and saw a man with a gun running toward them.

"He ran right past us then stopped and turned. He pointed the gun at us but then pulled it away and shot Debbie 21 Injured As Twisters, Storms Lash zr.

A visitor in the home, Elizabeth Splane, 77, was listed in fair condition today in Oil City Hospital.

The series of massive storms caused power blackouts in widespread areas of Butler, Westmoreland and Armstrong counties. West Penn Power Co. crews worked through the night and were expected to be on duty all of today restoring service to some 2,000 homes in the Latrobe-Li-gonicr area, the Freeport-Slate Lick area of southwestern Armstrong County and the Mount Chestnut area west of Butler. West Penn crews were brought into the Latrobe area from as far away as State College to assist in the repairs, a utility spokesman said. Scattered outages in other areas of Westmoreland County and Washington County were being "cleaned up" this morning, he said.

In the Pittsburgh area, Duquesne Light Co. reported sizable power blackouts in Indiana Fox Chapel, West Mifflin, Duquesne, Munhall, McKees Rocks, Pleasant Hills, Plum Borough and at the Kennedy Pumping Station of the West View Water Authority. Also hit were sections of East Liber-t Boss Beechview, Oakland, South Side, Forest Hills, Braddock Hills, Wilkins Twp. and Moon Twp. Most blackouts lasted several hours and had been corrected by daybreak, a Duquesne Light spokesman said.

The winds felled branches and wires throughout the city. Downed Ve limbs caused traffic tieups on Pioneer Avenue in Brookline and Stanton Avenue in East Liberty. Police In Beaver Falls, also served by Duquesne Light, reported most of the city was without power between 5:30 and 6:30 p. m. Hospitals and police radio networks operated on emergency power.

The damage in Clover Hill Estates was concentrated on Meadow Drive. Sixteen persons were sent to hospitals, with eight admitted three in serious condition and five in fair condition.

The IBEW strike was considered a surprise by Westinghouse which thought all unions agreed to at least a one-week extension of union contracts to avert an immediate nationwide strike. "We had many issues that affected (he IBEW that were best resolved following this pattern (to strike)," a union official said. "Some issues unique to the IBEW contributed to that decision." Issues not covered in the company's nationwide negotiations purportedly triggered the IBEW walkout.

Of the seven, he said, "there are maybe three that are at the top of my list." The seven are: Sens. Frank Church of Idaho, John Glenn of Ohio, Henry M.

Fair Weather Hat Lands On Dingbat The forecast, like today's politics, is fairly conventional.

The National Weather Service says it will be fair and cool tonight with a low in the upper 40s to the mid 50s and a 10 per cent chance of rain. Tomorrow will be partly cloudy with the high in the upper 60s to the low 70s and a 30 per cent chance of rain. Press Weatherbird Donald Dingbat was brimming with enthusiasm for party conventions when a clumsy politician missed throwing his hat in the ring and landed it on Ding. (Detailed report, Page 28.) By WILLIAM ALLAN JR. My father and I were in a tornado yesterday.

Everything swirled around us at incredible speeds, and we were scared as hell. We had just finished a round of golf and were heading west on Route 30, about five miles out of Ligonier, Westmoreland County, when it touched down. It was obvious something big was going to happen, because in minutes it became as dark as night. Thunderhcads rolled across the hills and lightning flashed around us. It began to rain huge drops until at last like all other drivers on the road, had to stop.

Then the tornado touched down. High winds moving faster than anything we'd ever known began blowing around us in circles. Everything seemed to be in the air: branches, large tree parts, leaves, etc. ing the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE), the largest, and the Federation of Westinghouse Independ-e Salaried Unions resumed this morning. Federal mediators were trying to get the IBEW to return to the bargaining table and agree to the same work arrangement as the other unions.

Despite the current extensions, a spokesman for the IUE emphasized a (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) Heavy branches and tops of trees began falling at the roadside, until one piece slammed Into our windshield and shattered it. That's when we started worrying. When the swirling reached its peak, hail began to fall, rattling across our roof. I thought of Dorothy swirling around during the tornado scene in the Wizard of Oz. Winds were hitting the car at such velocity and there was so much debris in the air that we thought more of the windshield or some of the other windows might blow out.

We climbed into the back seat to wait it out. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, everything stopped. It was calm, relatively clear, with no winds. We cautiously rolled down the windows, which were fogged up, and peeked out. It was a weird scene.

Analysts said trading on the Big Board slowed considerably after an initial surge in the current session. (Financial news, Pages 10-11.)
