And still rescue workers worked tirelessly, on into the Children's Blood Stains Vicksburg Christmas Tinsel By CAROLYN NEWTON Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer VICKSBURG, Dec 5 I stood under dangling Christinas decorations, some of them stained with blood, and watched bodies of little children being brought out of toy departments of stores and from a Saturday afternoon picture show.

The children were white-faced, bruised and stain ed with blood and dust from broken bricks. They were victims of the tornado which struck this town of 28,000 persons at p.m. Saturday. he: morning hours in search of more victims that probably lay still buried dead, dying and injured under the mountains of debris that marked the path of the storm.

5 Dark horror gripped me as I pushed past rescue workers in the Saenger theater here tonight to take pictures of the havoc wreaked ty a tornado that struck Just as day was waning. Before me lay the interior of a vast theater, half its roof caved in and fallen across the front rows of the picture show hour before numbers of little children had laughed or thrilled at the movie, out of the darkness bringing Silently, workers moved in and out of the darkness bringing, one by one. little bodies that did not move or cry out. There were no "screams or sobs. Just that dreadful silence that seemed to eat Into my heart.

I stood on a theater seat to-snap a flash photo, and the sight that greeted my eyes almost toppled me from my stance. The little bodies could be seen crushed beneath the debris. I couldn't tell how many there were. The caved-in roof covered a wide space and they told me that under there more children lay injured or dying. I saw one little boy carried out, and it looked to me as though there was only about half of him there.

It was horrible to see. A flash light cast a flicker across the building as some debris was moved and a man anxiously searching for his wife saw her still form. His screams will ring ln my ears for days to come. I have seen disaster before ln my long career as a news photographer but never anything to compare with this. They told me that they had taken a large number from the theater before I got here.

They said it will be late tomorrow (Sunday) before they can find all the bodies, even If then. I left the theater to tour the WTecked area along Washington street, where the storm had left not a window ln a store, seeminely, at the ground level. Freakish as it was. the tornado had skimmed along the street level, and not a window was broken on second or third stories. I don't believe there was a car on the street that was not wrecked beyond repair.

Falling debris and the force of the storm must have been terrible. One outomoblle was crushed so flat that it was only a couple of feet high. Bodies of Negroes were taken from it as I stood there. At one store, the roof had fallen. A man stood out front waiting for them to bring his wife and two children out.

The doctors had gotten to them The most pathetic death spots 1 were the Happyland Nursery where two tots perished, and a downtown theater, where at least two chil dren were killed when the roof caved ln.

The wind hit at 5:40 p. m. and the big blow "lasted five or six minutes," 6a id one witness, whose business caved in. It caught the late downtown shoppers completely by surprise and some were killed when heavy debris fell on their cars. The heart of the business sec tion of the city was left in shambles.

Huge sections of tin roofing were wrapped around the tops of street lamps and shaky sections of brick walls endangered rescue workers. Civilians immediately took over the job of directing traf fic and rescue work. The Highway Patrol and the Army Reserve, un der MaJ. Gen. Wilson, arrived to guard against looting.

Hospitals were crowded with busy nurses and doctors receiving Harlan Fried, one of the children killed when the Saenger theatre collapsed, was a relative of Marcus Fried, well known Jackson merchant. the Injured and relatives frantically searched the wards for missing loved ones. One hardware building collapsed completely and the ten occupants saved themselves by hiding under concrete steps in the basement. Bill Logan, partner in the business, said the store had closed and he and the clerks were getting rea dy to go home when the tornado hit. He saw the walls caving ln and led his employees to the basement where they hid under the concrete stairs.

Dec. 5 Twisting tornadoes, dealing death and destruction into millions of dollars, ripped and bounced through Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas tonieht. I The multiple twisters left at least 13 dead and 100 Injured la their tangled wakes. The worst of four tornadoes smashed downtown Vicksburg. This was the storm that killed 13 persons in a savage 15-minute series of hammer blows that demolished a theater full of boys and girls enjoying a Saturday night movie.

Another tornado struck at Montrose, and first reports said two childen were missing. A third tornado blasted the communities of Ouachita City, Rocky Branch and Spencer near Monroe in northern Louisiana, mounting an injury toll of 11 persons. No deaths were reported. A fourth tornado dove through the countryside 40 miles north of Shreveport. at the Juncture of Texas.

Arkansas and Louisiana. It damaged two farm homes and ripped away power lines, but caused ro deaths or Injuries. A- violent windstorm struck a farming section 10 miles wett cf Clarksdale, Injuring seven persons. The Vicksburg blow came out of an eerie early nightfall, silently and viciously, so that residents only short distances from its path did not realize what was happening. "All I heard was a slight roar.

said Mrs. Charles Faulk, who lives but six blocks from the lance-like swatch cut by the storm. "I had noticed a queer glow in the Eky but didn't think anything of It. I had been dreadfully still and hot all afternoon." From downtown Vicksburg, the twisting funnel roared up ln a mighty hop and struck again, with, less force, ln a residential district. It snapped all electric power, blanketing the city with darkness which was relieved only by the flickering flames of a dozen fixes started by the storm.

Inside the Saenger Theater, the bulk of the storm's Injured screamed and sobbed for help, for their parents. Most of the Injured were reported to be boy and girl patrons engaged in watching their customary Saturday night movie. Another theater was reported blown down. The whirling wind blew down homes, business buildings and toppled buildings onto automobile tops. It demolished a day nursery, kill ing two babies.

On the street below Washington, toward the Mississippi River, where most of the buildings were wooden, the place was a shambles. Lumber was piled high, and if 'here were people in those places, many of them mus have died. I could hear one man crying out from under a pile of timbers there.

Fire had broken out. and Negro resucers wifh water buckets were trying to put it out. The man was stiil crying for help when I left there. A burgler alarm on a bank. I think, was ringing incessantly.

Sirens of ambulances could be heard all around. at 'the scene of the wreckage, it was terribly quiet. I felt like I was in a tomb as I walked long the streets of downtown Vicksburg. There were no liehts except flashlights or truck lights of rescue cars. I was told the schools and hospitals were filled with injured.

Dec. 5 VP A presidential board reported to the White House today that east coast longshoremen are expected to walk out at the expiration of a no-strike court Injunction Dec.

24. The three-man fact-finding board described conditions in the current position of both parties as "akin to guerrilla warfare" and said the issue of union representation overshadows all others. The International Longshoremen's ousted from the AFL for failure to rid Itself or racketeers, and a new union formed by the AFL to replace it are contesting for the right to bargain for the dock workers. The board said bargaining Is at a standstill and added: "Unfair labor practice charges clog the ordinary procedure of the National Labor Relations Board, yet provoke accusations of undue delay. I "Any last orfer of employers must be measured as a fruitless formality.

Rejection is almost cer tain. Even if accepted, the union representation problem remains to haunt those who seek a settlement. From testimony given to the board, a Dec. 24 strike should be expected a strike that will defy solution by the most expert of mediators." Dalton sat ur) straight. He looked from side to side.

The official news of the meeting was confined to this brief communique: "The heads of delegations, accompanied by their foreign ministers, continued their talks this afternoon. After discussing a reply to the Soviet note, they proceeded hold a preliminary ex-charge of views on EDC." The referencev to the heads of delegations was untrue on the face of It, since the French announcd that Laniel stayed away. Refusal by spokesmen at the briefing session to amplify the communique, even to the extent of saying who spoke first, plus complaints of various leaks after last night's equally uncommunicative announcements, caused several members of the press to walk out in indignation.

President Eisenhower had been expected to give his government's considered view of Soviet inten tions whether the new look of Russia's Malenkov government is gen uine or a phony at the session today. He may well have done this during the talk on the reply to the Soviet rote, though the communi que made no mention of it. Admiral Who Pulled Atomic Trigger Dies WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 WV-Rear Adm.

was a pioneer ln the develop ment and use of atomic weapons. As a Navy cantata and member of the Manhattan District, secret wartime atom bomb organization, he set the trigger on the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in Japan, Aug. 6. 1945. Huddled in the bomb bay of a B29 bound for the target, hampered by an oxygen mask and fingers stiff vfrom sub-zero cold.

Parsons made the delicate, last- minute adjustment on the bomb's trigger. A year later Parsons was deputy commander of the Bikini atomic bomb tests. In charge of technical matters. Then, in 1948 he served in similar positions for the weapons tests at Eniwetok atoll. Although Parsons held various sea commands, including operations in the Pacific campaigns of World War II, much of Ms work was as an ordnance specialist.

In addition to his atomic weapon activities, he had participated in development of another major weapon ln World War XL the prox imity fuse. eI?

Dec. 5 (ifl French Premier Laniel absented himself either because of a real or a "diplomatic" illness from the second session of the Bermuda conference tonight. President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill carried on ln the presence of Laniel's stand-in with arguments for French ratification of the European army treaty. A French spokesman said La niel had a chill and was under the care of Churchill's personal physician. But news photographers saw Laniel only five hours before the meeting, looking well and affable, strolling outside the gate of the securely guarded Mid-Ocean Club He was represented at tonight's session by Foreign Minister Georges Bidault.

A "bar of secrecy," lowered over the proceedings as the conference Defense Community pact, prevented newsmen from learning whether the "Big Two" and Bidault had affirmed a reported decision of the Western foreign ministers to accept a Russian bid to a four-power foreign ministers meeting ln Berlin in late January. This decision, along with another plan of the foreign ministers to get Yugoslavia and Italy into a jve-power meeting to settle the Trieste problem, is the main re suit of the conference thus far. Laniel, who does not speak English, let Bidault do all the talking for France at the first meeting yesterday. Gossip outside the conference room was that Laniel seeks to disassociate himself from the French domestic political battle over the European army since he hopes to be elected president of France by Parliament on Dec. 17.

It was not disclosed what argu ments the President and Prime Minister had marshalled on behalf of the European Defense Community. But It Is known that the United States considers the European army, which would put uniformed Germans at the service of the West to counter Soviet strength in Europe, one of the top subjects a this conference. President Eisenhower was reported ready to assure the French that the United States will maintain at least at least present combat effectiveness ln Europe. This Is designed to ease French fears that Germans might dominate the European army. It was assumed, too, that Churchill outlined British pledges to maintain a close association with EDC as a counterweight to Germany, ln the hope this would influence the French 'Parliament to ratify the army pact.

The "Big Two and the French representative spent 3 hours and 23 minutes at the conference table in a converted dining room at the Mid-Ocean Club late ln the day.
