282 Twister Kills 10 At Arcadia Entire Family Is Wiped Out, Farm Leveled Tornado 1 Of 5 To Wreak Havoc Throughout State ARCADIA, Neb. (A A ornado wiped out a farm near Arcadia late Sunday and brought instant death to 10 persons enjoying a Sunday family reunion there. The twister was one of at least five which hop-scotched over widely scattered sections of Nebraska. Dozens of farms were damaged or destroyed, communication lines were downed and several persons were injured, at least one of them seriously. The tornadoes largely bypassed towns and cities.

In this Central' Nebraska area, the tornado hit at least six farms. Debris Sattered The deaths were on the Mads Madsen farm five, miles cast- of Arcadia. Assembled for their customary, Madsens, Sunday three get-together children were and five grandchildren. They apparently were in the house and never knew what hit them. So vicious was the tornado that bodies were mangled and scattered as far as half a mile.

"There wasn't a stick of anything left on the said one visitor to the scene. Machinery, animals and buildings were "tossed around like feathers," said another. A farm across the road also was leveled but six persons caped injury by huddling in a storm cellar. The dead were Mr. and Mrs.

Madsen, about 60; their son, Virgil, Madsen, Central City, Mrs. Dolly Johnson her two children Kenneth, 12, and Barbara, 10, and another daughter of the Mrs. Jack Witty, and her three children, Patty, Thelma, 12, and Gary, 10. Other tornadoes hit areas in the vicinity of Hooper in eastern braska, near David City about 70 miles west of Omaha, and in the Albion area of northeast Nebraska. Still another funnel was sighted near Big Springs along the Colorado-Nebraska border but no damage from it was reported.

The Arcadia tornado apparently travelled nearly 50 miles but touched the ground only long enough to flog six farms with its fury. It was first spotted south of Mason City. Mr. and Mrs. Don Murray of Arcadia, told of being on the highspotting the tornado.

They drove at 60 miles over muddy roads, at right angles from the twister's path, to escape it. Mrs. Murray was so unnerved by the experience that she had to be given sedatives. The death toll on the Madsen place came near being 11. Jack Witty.

whose wife and three children were killed, had gone to his own farm about a mile away to do chores. A bill blocked his view of the Madsen place and he didn't know of the tragedy until a couple hours after it happened. The storm 3:15 p. m. (C.S.T.) Visitors to the Madsen farm had trouble even telling where the house had stood.

There was no basement under it. Chickens were walking around without feathers--denuded by the wind. "Never saw anything like said Syl Furtak of Ord. "You just don't see a vestige of house" at either the Madsen or Lutz places said Arthur Riedesel, Loup City, another visitor. The Lutz home was a two-story cement block building.

It was "blown to smithereens," Ricdesel said. Three automobiles and a pick-up truck were demolished. A car which had been in a garage on the Lutz place was carried a half mile asvay and the garage Itself was levelled. Of about 50 hogs on the place, only a few were still walking around. The Lutz's saw the tornado com- ing and made for the storm cellar located only six feet from the house, A momentary dead calm was the tip-off Lutz that the storm was upon them, said.

Koreans Will Not Recognize Peace Terms Eisenhower's Note Fails To Sway Rhee In Resolve To Fight By BILL, SHINN SEOUL 4 South Korca gave flat notice today it intends to continue the Korean War despite an urgent message from President Eisenhower that the U. N. and the war-torn republic are "required" to accept a truce on present terms. South Korean President Syng.

man Rhee told Associated Press photographer Fred Waters "the Korean people will pay to an impending armistice." And his Cabinet and National Assembly crisis committee, meeting behind locked doors. resolved to continue the fighting and not recognize any truce under present terms. Predicts Demonstrations The defiant South Korean oppoisition burst out anew shortly after U. N. and Communist negotiators at Panmunjom edged close to a full armistice by finally agreeing on exchange of war prisoners, the last major hurdle before a truce.

Rhee told Waters: "Our are fighting the Communists front. and now they boys, want to open the back door and let the Communists in that way. I am being criticized by everyone- except the Korean people." A few hours earlier Rhee said he had not decided whether to acoffers in a letter from EisenEisenhower of economic aid and a mutua! security pact after a truce. The Cabinet and the crisis committee planned to return to Pusan. the wartime capital, to lay their decision before the Assembly.

Meanwhile, Rhee issued a "statement to the people" warning a against any violence or "unpleasant talk" against U.N. personnel in Korea. As the became a rolling swell of resentment, the leader of Rhee's Liberal party in the Assembly said there out, nation-wide" demonstrations, parades and mass meetings beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday. He said banners and placards are being prepared.

Meanwhile a government spokesman said: "There will he absolutely no change in our policy of opposition to the armistice. The (Eisenhower) letter is unrealistic in that President Eisenhower assumes that the Communists will honor the terms of a truce agreement." May Raid Indians Eisenhower's letter tipped off that an armistice was hand. He wrote that terms of a present Red proposal -essentially based on a recent Allied offer -required acceptance by the United Nations and South Korea. But in his speech, the fiery. 78- year-old Rhee said: "We cannot surrender 1o the Communists after all the sacrifices you have made and we have made As far as we are concerned, no peace or no armistice acceptable to us as long as Chinese Communists are allowed 10 remain inside the Korean Peninsula." As Rhee spoke, administration sources again threatened "physical action" against any truce not approved by the government.

They said the ROK Army would either continue fighting at the front or would take part in "small-scale skirmishes" against Indian troops who land to take charge of Red prisoners refusing to go home and Communist representatives who come to explain repatriation to the Red POWs. Braves Typhoon They said such landings would be An invasion of their nation's rights unless approved by the government. Eisenhower's letter 10 Rhee pledged a constant effort to. unify this divided country "by all peaceful means" after an armistice. The letter, dated June 6, stressed ca that the economic aid, mutual defense pact and other Allied offers would come after a truce is signed.

It was delivered to Rhec by Gen. Mark Clark, U.N. Far East Comof mander, who flew from Tokyo in the teeth of an approaching ty. phoon. Rhee released the text without comment.

Clark flew back to Tokyo after the meeting. Lewiston Teacher To Post At Alma ('The Sun's OwD Service) LEWISTON Emerson Black. Lewiston High instructor, has been named vocational agricultural instructor at Alma High School the coming school year. Mr. Black's new position is the first such at Alma.

Korean time today and the signing of the armistice agreement is now on the order of the day." Urges Rhee 'Face Facts' WASHINGTON 1P-Sen. Knowland (R-Calif) called on President Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea Monday to "face the facts as they are" and accept truce terms in the Korean War. Knowland.

chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, spoke out in the Senate after A group of senators had been briefed on Ko rea developments by Secretary of State Dulles. Senators Mum Although other senators declined public comment, some of them said Dulles appeared to believe there might be a change in attitude later in the day on the part ol the Korean government, which has vowed to ignore the truce and continue fighting. Without any direct reference to the State Department briefing, Knowland told the Senate that any action endangering the truce agreement. "would be detrimental to the people of the Republic of Korea and would endanger the security of the United Nations forces in Korea, including the security of forces this country has in that nation." The California senator's statement was regarded as especially significant because he has support- ed the contention of Rhee and other South Korean leaders that a truce leaving Korea divided, as present terms would do, would not be satisfactory. On this point, Knowland noted that President Eisenhower "has gone a long way to provide assurances that would permit the free people of Korea to maintain their freedom" through a possible mutual security pact with the U.

S. Seo Quick Truce "A heavy responsibility rests upon the officials of the Republic Korea and of the government the United Knowland told his colleagues. "We must face the facts as they are and not as we would have liked them to be if other decisions had been made long before this administration came to power." Other U. S. officials, though cerned whether South Korea would observe, a the cease-(ire, of said war agreeshould lead quickly to a truce in Korea.

Tex. Air Force -Wilson Secretary Promises Slash In Military 'Waste, Inefficiency' WASHINGTON Secretary of Defense Wilson said Monday the United States will continue to have the "best Air Force" in the world despite controversial cut-backs in the Air Force budget. Wilson told a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee headed by Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich): "'I assure you. emphatically that we are not going to have are second continue to have the the Air Force.

We best Air Force. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, outgoing Air Force chief of staff, spent three days before Ferguson's subcommittee last week assailing a five billion dollar cut the hower administration has made in the Air Force budget mended last January by former President Truman. Vandenberg indicated it would produce only 8 "second-best" Air Force. On TV Wilson testified at a televised public hearing.

He told the senators be was not the first secretary of defense "that has had to hold down the extravagant expenditures proposed by a military department." Wilson said there has been "waste and inefficiency' in the armed services and. promised to cut this to a minimum. The Truman Air Force budget called for new appropriations of 16 billion dollars and a December 1935 target of 143 wings- 30 to 73 planes per wing. The new budget reduced the apI propriation request by five billions and. set a December, 1955.

target, of 120 wings, with from 110 to 114 "combat" ready" wings by July, 1954. Wilson said the present Joint Chiefs of Staff, all of whom will be replaced by a new team by next August, "were not asked to specifically approve' the Eisenhower budget. He said it ivas not their responsibility to do that, adding: "Their function is that of military advisers, and the civilians involved, including the President, the National Security Council and the Congress, have the final responsibility for the budget." He said President Eisenhower personally approved the Air Force budget and those of the other two services. Citing a '10-to-1 kill ratio in the air battles over Northern Korea" Wilson said this nation now has "the best airmen and fighter aircraft in the world." As for bombers, he said the Soviet Union is placing "their 1'e- liance upon the B29 type of aircraft which the chief of staff of the Air Force has described as obsolescent." "We have advanced beyond the 829 several stages with the B36 and B47 and other types that will be coming into Wilson continued. Estimating' Wilson said the statements "of military leaders" indicate "the desire to build up such forces as could defend the whole world." "This is simply beyond our bility over the long run," he commented.

Wilson assailed what he called "lack of coordination between the money planners, the production planners, the and Air the Force." personnel planHe said repeated changes in moncy requests in the past showed "very poor estimating" and disastrous slippage in the program Or' poor co-ordination and manage. ment."
