Happened On One 'iT if The twister, which skirted Random Lake, missed the town but caused unestimated damage to farms in a band three miles long and a little less than a thousand yards ide, i ne nana streicnes across me county border from the Halbert Rheingans farm, two miles southwest of the town on County Trunk on the west to the George Krier farm, at the intersection of County Trunk 1 and Highway 57, on the east. Both the Rheinirans and Krier farms, as well as farms between the two extremities, Rheingans Farm Hardest Hit Hardest hit was the Rheingans farm where the barn was completely levelled and the farmhouse blown 200 feet off its foundation.

All that remains of the barn is the stored hay, but much of this is scattered over the area. One bale of hay from the Rheingans farm was found oxer a mile to the east. In addition to the bam, all machinery is a total dotted a line of death and ruin across two rural areas in central Wisconsin yesterday, taking seven lives. Due eastward across Lake Michigan from the state, a tornado struck the village of Biteley, at night and left one woman dead. The low part of Wisconsin's Waupaca county was ripped by a "roaring and terrifying" twister which killed six persons and injured at least three.

Four of the victims, members of one family, were carried into a swamp a quarter of a mile from where the tornado engulfed them. Then some 45 minutes later 4:30 p. m. (CST) and about 50 miles to the south a funnel-shaped cloud hopped across a 15-mile path in Columbia county, killing a woman and injuring her three children by picking up their farm home and smashing it down 250 yards away. Seven others were reported injured.

A deputy sheriff said buildings were crushed "like match boxes. Splintered barns, sheds, silos and homes lined the paths of the tornadoes in Wisconsin, but there could be no accurate estimate of the heavy loss. Nor was there a count of the numerous livestock killed. The whirling cloud columns, which capped a day of general rain and high winds in the state, fortunately skirted small towns in the regions. Bodies Found Quarter Mile Away Howard Rasmussen, 35, his wife, Irene, and their children, Robert, 5, and Betty, 2, were cleaning chickens in their farm yard in the town of Waupaca when the tornado roared down on them.

Their bodies were found in a-awamp a quarter mile away. Ras-mussen's father, William, 65, was in the basement. He was struck on the head by a timber as the house collapsed around him. He died four hours later at a Waupaca hospital. The other Waupaca county victim was Mrs.

Frances Melliet of the town of Lebanon. 'She and her two children were swept away when the tornado leveled their farm home. Mrs. Melliet was found dead in a field. The children were in a nearby ditch, badly frightened but not seriously hurt.

Mrs. Alice McGuire, 32, was killed when the twister swooped down on her Columbia county farm home four miles west of Randolph. Her three children, ages two, three and four, were not seriously hurt. One viewer of the wrecked McGuire house said it was reduced to "kindling wood." The Columbia county tornado was preceded by rain but blinding rain accompanied the Waupaca county twister and, as a result, many witnesses said they could not see the funnel-shaped cloud. What they did see was a "terrifying black cloud spewing debris ahead of it and roaring like a freight train.

Both tornadoes swept out of the southwest and passed in a northeasterly direction. In Waupaca county the tornado hopped and skipped across a line 20 miles long and about one-quarter of a mile wide. To the south the spiraling cloud finger touched at intervals on a 15-mile path 100 yards wide on the average.

He said that if he had been given just a portion of the force which invaded North Africa he could have retaken the Philippines in three months because at that time the Japanese were not ready." Importance of the Pacific The report goes on to expand the MacArthur views: "He lashed out in a general indictment of Washington, asserting that they are fighting this war as they fought the last war. He said that most of them have never been in the front lines and that they aren't rotating field officers back Into Washington.

"In continuing his criticism of Washington he said that the history of the world will be written in the Pacific lor the next ten thousand years. He said we made the same old mistake of intervening in European quarrels which we can't hope to solve because they are insoluble. He said that Europe is a dying system.

Robert G. McCord. chairman of the county chapter of the American Red Cross, said the amount has been sent to swell the already raised by 834 chap ters in the midwest area. To finance emergency relief and continuing rehabilitation aid in the flood devastated midwest, the midwestern area of the Red Cross was asked last July to raise $2,000,000 of the $3,000,000 national requirement. It was the first special disaster relief fund campaign launched by the Red Cross since 1938.

McCord described the local response "very "Our chapter is proud of the response to the flood disaster appeal and is particularly grateful to the churches, industries, organizations and individuals who so generously donated to the fund," he said. As an example of the spontaneous response to the need of the stricken people of the midwest (Continued on page 16, column 3) WHERE TO FIND IT Regular Features Classified Comics Editorial Markets Obituaries Personals Radio and TV Society Sports Storm Pictures Page No. 37-38-39 38 40 24 16 12 37 19-20-21 34-35 11 MU A The farmhouse, which is rented out during certain times of the year, was unoccupied at the time the tornado struck. After being yanked off its foundation, the house came to rest 200 feet from its original site. It also is a complete wreck.

Next in the path of the tornado was the George LVpies farm. Just south or the village, where the barn received the hardest blow. The chimney of the farmhouse was blown down, and other minor damage was reported, but the barn may possibly have to be torn down and rebuilt because of the amount of damage. High Winds Continue The southeast corner is gone with little over half of the roof remaining. Grain is scattered over the area and was still blowing across the fields this morning as high winds ripped through the skeleton south and east sides.

Except for the metal roof, which landed far to the left, no trace of the shed has been left.

A multi-car garage also was separated from its foundation, but the sides and roof are sull in the general area around the farmhouse.

With the crisis over Iran's oil nationalization boiling to ominous proportions, the U.

S. presi dent appealed to the Iranian gov ernment to back down on its ultimatum, and told both Britain and Iran the U. S. is ready to help them to find a peaceful set-. tlement.

These developments came as Iran's frail, aged premier made a street speech in Iran before a wildly shouting crowd whose members cried death threats for Britons. The British government has been considering sending troops to Abadan to protect the Britons and the British position. Moscow dispatches said the Soviet Union was watching the Iranian developments closely. The Russians have a treaty with Iran providing for. Soviet intervention In the case of foreign invasion.

With Iran's forces in Khuzis-tan province, site of the 'Abadan refinery, placed on an alert, rumors that the British might land forces brought nationalist tempers in Tehran to a fever pitch. Premier Mohammed Mossa-dagh, barred from speaking in the ma lis (parliament) for lack of a quorum, mounted a chair in front of the building and addressed a wildly shouting crowd of his fanatic followers, declaring his government would not stop its struggle "to recover the rights of the Iranian people," Mossadegh was the architect of Iran's program which nationalized the British government-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil company.

MacArthur In 1945 Douglas MacArthair was an important and controversial figure to the military leaders in the final year of the war. Under the date of Nov.

22, 1944, Forrestal entered in his diary a long memorandum, "MacArthur Leyt, by Bert Andrews," which had been supplied to him by the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune after the litter's return from a trip to the Philippines. Andrews was1 frank, and so, apparently, MacArthur had been. In the words of the Andrews report, "(MacArthur) said that every mistake that supposedly intelligent men could make has been made in this war. The North African operation was absolutely useless, yet all the available strength of Great -Britain and the United States was thrown into the task." The general, as he is depicted in the report, was full of two Ideas: that the Pacific war had been "starved" in the interests of Europe, and that whereas the MacArthur-Nimitz strategy in the Pacific was skillfully to hit the enemy' he ain't," the European 'strategy was to hammer stupidly against the enemy's strongest points. "Patton's Andrews paraphrased the general, "which is trying to batter its way.
