Bowm.Trf pJZ colt; three sons, IJj I if yUi fit The National Guard at Crestview was alerted by Gov. Farris Bryant but it wasn't believed they and other emergency units alerted would be needed. However, there were some reports of looting in some parts of town.

Officers combined efforts to prevent it. Shelters were opened at First Baptist Church and at the courthouse under direction of Bert King, civil defense director. Overall headquarters were set up at the National Guard Armory. Witnesses said the tornadoes barrelled in unexpectedly around 4:10. Lon Fugate, reporter for the Bakersfield (Calif.) News, was passing through Crestview and gave this account: He said two tornadoes met and combined to make one.

He said a small one came in from the southwest in an easterly direction. It met with a larger one coming from due south and became one. The big twister headed north, made an arc within a quarter-mile area and then swirled in a northeasterly direction. The Johnson baby was killed when the tornado ripped through the Johnsons' brick veneer home, slamming debris, and tearing off the carport Another home 100 feet away was demolished. Michael Hollingshead, 19, a butcher in Jitney Jungle, said a little after 4 that dark clouds began gathering everywhere.

Emergency help from surrounding communities started arriving onetime executive of the Houston Post, was named editorial assistant to Otis Chandler, in charge of newspaper operations of the Times-Mirror.

The number of employes affected on the Mirror and Examiner was not disclosed. Several hundred reportedly are involved. Many departments on both the Hearst and Chandler papers have long been consolidated. The circulations of the four newspapers, as of last September's audit: Examiner 381,037 daily, 693,773 Sunday; Times daily, 978,478 Sunday; Herald-Express 393,215 daily; Mirror daily. The Mirror was launched with bright hopes.

The first edition rolled from its presses Oct. 11, 1948, a bright, fat tabloid crammed with pictures and features as well as news. Said the first publisher, Virgil Pinkley: "It takes courage and ability and a tremendous amount of money to start a metropolitan newspaper. The Mirror is the first major American paper to be started since 1941, the first in Los Angeles in more than a quarter-century. "We've got a youthful but experienced staff, producing a new kind of newspaper in a brand new plant, for a young and growing community.

We think this is an an ideal combination." It never got into the black. In 1954, it switched from tabloid to standard format and bought the subscription list and features of the bankrupt Los Angeles Daily News. For several years it was called the Mirror-News. It won awards for makeup. It conducted many crusades.

It splashed crime and features. It had solid reporting and good writing. What was its trouble? Industry sources cite a combination of factors: the growth of suburban papers, taking reader time and advertising dollars: the growth of television, taking the same; vigorous competition from the lively, long-established Herald-Express. The Examiner was founded in 1903 by the late William Randolph Hearst, after local labor leaders persuaded him there was need for a publication here to counter what they called the antilabor attitude of the Times. It was a brawling, lusty operation from the start, in tune with ADN Friday carried an interview with the Columbia Broadcasting System (made public in the United States Thursday night) in "ASTRO-GUIDE" (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tions of the Mirror and Examiner.

At the Examiner, copy reader Nat Honig, president of the employes union, walked into the city room after a meeting with C. T. Griffiths, business manager, and read the announcement to a silent audience of reporters and desk men. "It is with deep regret," the letter read, "that the management of the Los Angeles Examiner hereby informs you that publication of the Examiner is being discontinued beginning with the issue of Monday, Jan. 8." Randolph A.

Hearst, president of the Hearst Publishing said in the announcement: "The condi tions which force the Examiner to cease publication are the same conditions that have resulted in the demise of many other well-known newspapers throughout the country. Costs have risen far more rapidly than revenue. Con tinuing losses, with no foreseeable change in the trend, make discontinuance of the Examiner an economic necessity." Climaxing weeks of rumors, President Norman Chandler of the parent Times-Mirror Co. called Mirror employes together Friday morning and gave them the first official word of the end. Tears in his eyes, he said: "The Mirror is being combined with the Los Angeles Times.

This is the most difficult and heart-rendering statement I have ever had to make. "The Mirror was my dream. This paper was conceived by me. I believed in its reasons for being. I believed it could be a successful metropolitan newspaper.

"Unfortunately the events proved that my original conception could not be worked out. Every possible thought has been exercised toward bringing it to a success. "In recent years the Times-Mirror Co. management has studied different ways to try and answer both the heavy financial losses of the Mirror and yet carry on its reason for being as a metropolitan paper. "By consoldiating the newspapers the company will avoid further serious losses resulting from operation of the Mirror." Mirror subscribers will receive an expanded version of the Times.

Sheriff Wade Cobb and Deputy came to help, as did other officers from other communities. Most witnesses said the tornado lasted about six minutes.

Forgot Your Skirt' By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: Yesterday my wife and I hurriedly dressed for church. When we got to the door I took a quick look and said Good grief, Margaret, you for got your skirt!" She replied in anger, "You idiot, this is my new outfit!" I couldn't believe it. The dress hit her above the knees. I could have sworn it was the top of a tunic or something.

Margaret is a fairly attractive woman but she has put on some weight in the 22 years we've been married. Also she's a little bow-legged. These short skirts don't do a thing for her. When I expressed myself she blew up. She claims the smart dresses follow style trends Iset by the fashion designers and that those who refuse look like country bumpkins.

Are the women flip ping their lids, or am I crazy? I think these short skirts are hideous. PLAIN ME. Dear You: Any woman who has eyes and a full-length mirror knows better than the fashion de signers what her legs look like. Fillies who are richly andowed with well-shaped gams can offord to hike the hemline a little. But the average matron who is slight ly knock-kneed, pigeon-toed, or bowlegged is foolish to go in for extreme styles.

Dear Ann: Our son married a trashy foreigner he met when he went to another city to work. Rodney is sixth generation Amer ican, and a Princeton graduate, so you can see how this hurt us. The wedding was so old-country that I was happy it was 2,000 miles away so none of our friends could see it. The bride's parents look and talk like they came over on the last boat. Now Rodney and his wife live only 100 miles from us and we never hear from them.

They've been married two years and we've never been invited to their home for dinner only once. Months go by and I don't even get a phone call. How can a boy treat his parents this way? Can this girl have- alienated him so completely? DISCARDED FOLKS. Dear Folks: Your lack of enthusiasm for your daughter-in-law undoubtedly has something to do with the deafening silence. If you have such a low opinion of the girl she must know it and so does your son.

She did not alienate him, my dear; your attitude did it. Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I are both 24. We've been married two years and are very happy. His aunt who raised him never cared for me and she is awfully domineering. I'm expecting a baby in a few months and my condition is obvious.

My husband's aunt phoned him this evening to say she caught a glimpse of me in the market today and I looked "disgraceful." She offered to do all my shopping until after the baby is born so I can "stay out of sight at home where I belong." I was so hurt I cried. My husband says he doesn't know about such things, so I'm writing to you, in the hope that you can explain. Please try. M. S.

They were banned after Communist border guards barred the American commandant, Lt. Gen. Albert Watson, from visiting East Berlin to visit Russian headquarters.

He was refused passage because civilian aides with him refused to show identity cards. The Communist wall dividing Berlin, meanwhile, collapsed in one place Friday and 20 armed Communist policemen backed by nine dogs mounted guard to prevent any East Germans from fleeing to the West through a three by five-foot hole.
