UD Pouring rain added to the misery of tornado-scarred Miami today as weary householders tried to patch up damage caused by the vicious storm which swept the city last night, injuring at least 100 persons.

John son (R-Tex) in a demand that steps be taken to see to it that no American plane again is as defenseless as the converted Navy antisub marine plane strafed by Communist I fighters over the Sea of Japan. "OUR PLANES should be fully armed and have their guns ready to fire if they are attacked," Bridges said. "We are going to investigate this situation and see what can be done about making certain that our men can fight back immediately if they are fired on." Bridges, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, and Johnson, the Senate Democratic leader, are top members of the Senate Preparedness subcommittee. Johnson said this group, which he heads, will decide on the basis of a Navy Department report what course it will take in the inquiry. The U.S.

Mayer of Litchfield, Conn. Navy airmen said Wednes day that a communications mishap and two useless gun mounts in their patrol plane had left them at the mercy of the Communist fighters when their one operative gun in the tail assembly was knocked out. The tail gun ner was wounded before he could fire a shot. ADM. Wallace M.

FARTHER UP the East Coast, tornado-like winds swept across Jupiter Island, just north of Palm Beach. The island, a millionaires resort, was visited by the late Secretary of State John Dulles, shortly before his death.

However, property damage was minor. Most of the homes were boarded up for the summer. The Miami storm was the first of its kind since the late 1940s when a hurricane-spawned tornado destroyed property. THE RED CROSS reported over 1,000 families were af fected by the storm and 100 homes suffered major damage. Five hundred other houses were less seriously damaged.

At least three homes were destroyed and nearly 100 business establishments were severely damaged. Scores of bayfront homes were left in' wreckage amid tangles of tree trunks, signs and overturned automobiles as the storm leap-frogged over a 12-mile path. Hundreds of persons were driven from their homes. An 11-year-old boy, Frank Vasellotti, was reported in critical condition with head injuries. NEARLY 60 persons, some seriously hurt, were treated by hospitals, police, and civil defense units mustered on a disaster footing.

Hardest hit was a four-block residential and business area around the 79th street causeway where police Sgt. Stewart Cooley estimated the loss would run at least to one million dollars. It missed downtown Miami. L. S.

IT WAS ASSUMED the Soviet government still had not reached a definite decision. Moscow radio reported that Soviet and East German ImmJam. Mfif of Vi rt Vramlin today to discuss the Big Four problem in an atmosphere of "complete mutual understanding and friend ship." Western diplomats had expected to hear this after noon whether the Soviets were willing at least to negotiate on the basis of the new plan. Gromyko was critical of the plan but had asked for 24 hours to study it before giving a definite reply. Western spokesmen had made it clear that a rejection of the new formula by Gromvko would mean the end of the 6-week-old foreign ministers' conference.

Some high Western offi cials considered this only a technical maneuver to give the Kremlin the appearance of seriously considering the Western offer before torpedoing it. OTHERS THOUGHT Gro myko actually wanted time to get new instructions from Premier Nikita Khrushchev and that some major Soviet concession might be forthcoming. 1 Lloyd and Couve 6t Mur- ville were agreed that if Gromyko had come into to day's secret conference ses sion with the clear intent of bargaining, they were pre pared to make reasonable changes in the plan.

Loger said he saw union members pull employes off an operating machine, throw rocks at a worker who was operating equipment and dropped a dozer on a ma chine so it could not be used.

Cop Chases Deer To City Limits Deer have been known to come to Sioux Falls on occasions. Usually, they i through a window, get caught in a fence or are hit by a car, necessitating a well-placed shot by a policeman to put them out of their mis ery. This was not so with a deer that wandered into the city early today. A police report shows that a deer was reported running loose at lutn street ana Euclid avenue at 2:30 a.m. A policeman was dispatched to the scene.

The report was concluded with this terse statement: Chased deer to city limits."
