Officers said Cole pulled out of McCarthy centered his speech on th findings of a senate armed aervires subcommittee which substantiated Gen. James A. Van Fleet's charges that troops in Korea were short of some types of mmunition. He said: "One task remains, for the Justice department to go all out to Investigate and bring before jfrand jury those individuals guilty of either treason or of sleeping at their posts of duty during war. They must he guilty of one or the rther.

"In either event, their cases hnuld be presented to grand jury and they should be made to answer for all the agony and blood nd tears they have caused." McCarthy contrasted the case of those who failed to keep enough a mmunition flowing; with that of the young officer. Lt. Leon Gilbert, who received the death penalty.

They said it traveled at about 25 miles an hour and was about 125 feet in diameter. Howard Burch, news correspond ent in Eaton for The Palladium-Item, gave the following account: The tenific winds first struck near the farm of Leonard Duke, located on the West road, which is Ohio-122. west of Eaton about two miles. It dipped just low enough at the Duke residence to tear down a television aerial and chimney be fore dipping again across the road at the William Taylor residence. Windows Broken Here, it caused considerable damage, knocking out windows and playing havoc with the inside of the house.

It also levelled a wash house in back of the home and picked up a nearby milkhouse and dropped it in the garden. The twister then made its way southward and eastward, hitting at the farm of Robert Haber on the Castle road next. The terrific winds did major damage, tearing down a big barn, taking the roof from another and strewing lumber and debris for more than a half mile around the area. Haber and his father-in-law, Fred Prange, narrowly escaped being caught In the twister. The two men were working in the barn which was levelled when they heard a "funny noise." Prange said he asked Haber what the noise was, and Haber replied that it must be a train.

Prange, however, looked out the barn window and saw the funnel coming directly at them. Prange and Haber said both were "plenty scared," but jumped into their automobile, which was parked in the barn and sped away from the coming storm. They travelled east out a 300-foot lane and got about 150 feet south on the Castle road when the tornado struck the barns. Neither man was in- jured. but both had to do plenty of ducking to miss being hit by fly- ing debris, which fell in fields all around them.

A large section of the roof of one barn fell in the front lawn of the home of Mrs. Clifford 'Charles, which is located directly across the road from the Haber farm build- ings. naries was noi ai home at the time the tornado struck. Her home was not damaged. The house and another nearby building on the Haber farm did not suffer from the tornado either.

Prange and Haber said the "tail of the twister kept going up and down and wherever came oown is where it did the damage."

The motion for stay was made by Defense Attorney Kmanuel Bloch to give him time to prepare his fifth request for a rehearing. The court, which has refused three times to order a rehearing, is also likely to act Monday on a fourth such request shortly before it adjourns the present term until October. If the stay is denied.

I saw the tail of the cloud dipping close to the ground. "It looked like a giant mushroom at the top and had a real black tail that whipped with a lot of speed.

There were rain clouds in the sky. but the funnel appealed much darker. "I watched it for about 10 min-uetes. Every minute or so it changed by becoming whiter up the. middle of the funnel.

I could see whirling dirt and dust in it and I don't want to see another one." John Stover, special sheriff's deputy, said he watched it from the third floor of the courthouse. "It came in from the west and looked like it might hit Fort St. Clair and the Eaton Country club." Stove reported. "It veered off just in time." The tornado scare brought to an early end an outing upon which a group of young people from First English Lutheran church of Richmond had embarked. Mrs.

Walter M. Wick, wife of the church pastor, said two carloads of young people were about a half-mile south of Eaton, on U. when they saw the black, funnel-shaped cloud, swirling swiftly from the northwest, mostly west. Mrs. Wick was driving one car and Mrs.

W. T. Lingle the other. Both stopped and all ran into a near-by farm house occupied by the E. C.

Robinette family. "Mrs. Robinette was in the yard and she saw the cloud, too. We all hurried into their basement, but the cloud veered to the south and did no damage where we were," Mrs. Wick said.
