Wobbema was away from his farm doing carpenter work. Mrs. Wobbema said the tornado struck at about 4:30 p.m. with little warning. "We were in a new part we had just bUilt on, and all we could do was to sit tight and pray," she said.

"All the youngsters were crying. "Everything started sliding. We were sitting in one corner of a davenport, and we all got separated. Something knocked me out. When I came to, I was a few feet away from an old piece of machinery which offered shelter.

The suburban areas took most of the beating.

Biggest damage was to pow er installations, except at Crys tal airport. There high winds broke windows In the admin- stratlon building, blew down two new hangars, destroyed 12 parked planes and heavily damaged 25 others. At Wold Chamberlain airport weather station, gusts of wind were clocked at 51 miles an hour, but at Costal unofficial estimates had inds at 70 miles an hour. Lightning caused the biggest single item of damage in Min neapolis. It hit a fuse box to start a $20,000 blaze at the Sawyer Cleator Lumber 1100 Washington avenue N.

(Picture on Page 19.) A heavy downpour at the time of the fire, shortly before 5 a.m., helped firemen check the blaze, which destroyed two of several sheds. Investigators found the fuse box "blown io pieces." POWER Northern States Power Co. described damage as the worst since the July 1931 tornado, but confined mostly to suburban areas, and mostly to localized and individual breaks. One town, Centerville, north-east of New Brighton, was still without power today. There were "outages" in Wood Lake, Bellevue.

Brownton. Anoka, Rogers, Montiiello, Buffalo and other points, of a few minutes to two hours. Most of the damage was due to trees falling across wires, in some cases also taking: down power poles. Warning was Issued (hat persons away from downed wires, or puddles into which they have fallen. The power company had is full force of 130 repairmen out today, and had hired another 30 repairmen from Donovan Construction Co.

Some 200 calls remained to be taken care of early today, and other damage reports were coming in, to the extent that the NSP switchboard was jammed much of the morning. The power company said service to at least 1,000 homes was Interrupted, but that no large districts were put out by the storm TELEPHONES Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. reported that service to some 10,000 telephones. 8.300 will be back in service today, All available repair crews were in action, some of them going to the southwestern section of the state while the storm still raged. A freak circumstance was that along a stretch of highway 13 near Arco, 53 telephone poles and the wire they carried can't be found.

Seven towns were without telephone service, and three Arco, Ivanhoe, and Hendricks, Minn. were still Isolated today. Service was expected to be restored by noon.

i i Surgeon General Leonard Scheele said the planned research program will be a cooperative one among the government, universities and industry. He predicted: "While largely developmental In character, with short term objectives, it will undoubtedly uncover new scientific information that will aid in the long- range development of all viral; vaccine." The health service said the allocation of the 300,000 shots of vaccine released today will be up to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The health service also announced it has assigned scientists to plants of the six vaccine manufacturers who "will visit the plants frequently in order to facilitate more rapid exchange of information between scientists of the pharmaceutical industry and the federal government." The health service also said has discontinued releasing weekly summaries of polio cases among vaccinated children because they are "without meaning" in the absence of figures on total vaccinations. A spokesman said they will be resumed, however, if there are any "unusual incidents that warrant release of figures." Meanwhile, a house commerce subcommittee unanimously approved a Democratic-sponsored bill to allot federal funds to the states for free polio vaccine for children. The bill is more liberal than the polio vaccine program requested by President Eisenhow er, but less liberal than a bill today that at least three battalions of Communist-led troops have opened an attack against Laotian government forces in the mountains of eastern Laos, TllA nv(irnmn, attarUntr fnreiM: were commanded by "the Red organized Pathct-lao (free movement which was created by the Communists dur- ing the Indochina war to fight guerrilla actions against the French, A communique, issued by the government at Its ln Vientiane said the Pathet-lao was reinforced by Communist Victminb.
