A Promise WHEN RYAN WOMAN SAW HOME Dei Moines Tribune Aug. 13, 1974 Says Space Available For Dayton Store At Another Project Feared Her Family Killed Advantage: Deter Crime By Visibility Helicopter-continued from Page One Strawberry figta' TOelwein -TxemburgV: (150) I uyersvwe i a i Des Moines center, along with Brandeis and J.C. Penney. The $4-million in damages Dayton is seeking In the suit is for loss of profits that would be realized at the new store, costs of market studies and building design, and damage to the company's "reputation. The suit asks that a permanent injunction be issued preventing Valley West Des Moines Shopping Center from going ahead with construction of the shopping center, scheduled to open sometime next year, until the matter is settled.

Other Projects Construction at Valley West presently is farther along than at either of two other new, major shopping centers being planned in the Des Moines area. Ryan-Continued from Page One rectory seconds before, the tornado struck. He said he was too intent at the time to say a prayer. "But 1 was saying, 'Dear Lord, what's going on'?" be said. "I was answering the phone on the second story when this thing (the tornado) came," the pastor said.

"I was going to take her (the elderly housekeeper, Leona Lechtenberg) to the basement but I didn't have a chance," he said. "I got down to her quarters on the ground level on the south side. By that time it was on us." Organist Was Practicing Although neither the priest nor the housekeeper, who wears a helmet-like device to protect a soft spot on her head resulting from surgery, was beneath a table or other object on the ground floor of the rectory, both escaped injury as the tornado roared around them. An organist, Mrs. W.

C. Morrissey, who had been practicing on the church or gan in preparation for a funeral Tuesday, left the structure only two minutes before the funnel leveled the building. She was still shakinc hours later when she told Father Beelner, who had feared she was buried under a Dile of rubble that covered the organ, "I don't think my time was ready yet." Father Beelner said he thinks that although the rectory proba bly is a total loss, the structure remains substantially intact de spite the leveling of the nearby cnurcn. 300 Families He said the church, one of only two in Ryan, has a congre gation of about 300 including an estimated 85 per cent of the town's residents. The town's other church, Ryan Peace Lutheran Church, less than a block north of St.

Pat rick's, had hardly a shingle out of place. The town once had a third church, but its roof was blown off several years ago in a wind, according to residents, and it has since been demolished. Officials, surveying the aftermath of the tornado at daybreak Tuesday, said that at least two other major buildings in town were destroyed and a third received heavy damage. The Ryan Public School, which houses kindergarten to fourth grade, was demolished, as was a Great Plains Supply Co. lumberyard.

The Ryan Cooperative next door to the lumberyard lost all three of its gram storage Dins ana us out and said something was whirling around. We went to the basement and two or three min utes later that's all there was," Mrs. Glynn said. "I looked up and there was nothing just sky. 1 couldn't believe it." When Mrs.

Glynn and. her children Dennis, 10; Mary Kay, 8, and Terry, 6, emerged from the basement they found the house moved 15 to 20 feet off its foundation sitting at an angle with the floors on both stories buckled. "I Will Rebuild" James Glynn, who was in Clinton at (he time, said the home valued at $12,000 to uou was a total loss. But Glynn said, "I will rebuild on the same spot. There is a lot of togetherness here." A neighbor, Robert Britt, 35, was in his kitchen shucking sweet corn from his garden with his four children Kris-tine, 13; Karen, 12; Kathy, 11, and John, 10 when he heard the town's fire siren wail and saw a cloud whirling in the northwest.

"The wind came up all of a sudden and we hit the basement," he said. When the five emerged, thev found only parts of three walls and the ground floor of their home remaining. The $30,000 house, completed only 11 months ago, was one of the newest residences in Ryan and the Britts had designed it them selves. "The Only One Mrs. Britt was en route home from Manchester, 10 miles away, where she is secretary to the superintendent of the West Delaware School District, when the twister struck.

When she spotted the house upon arriving in Ryan, she said, "I thought I was going to be the only one left." The Britts, like the Glynns pledged to rebuild that home. Ryan residents made home less by the storm were taken in by friends and relatives else where in town whose homes had not been damaged. The devastation to have only a minimal effect on most Ryan residents, the majority of whom were in reason ably good spirits and a philo sophical frame of mind. Heavy Rain, Hail Co-op vice-president Lyness, who owns a farm on the south edge of town, said he lost at least eight hogs plus 44 acres of corn and 180 acres of soybeans in the storm, which Was accom panied by a half-hour downpour of rain, high winds and hail up to the size of golf balls. "Yesterday the beans had a 40-bushel-per-acre potential at $8 a bushel and it's all gone," he said.

But, he added, "I can always raise another crop, but we could have lost 50 people here." Lyness said he expects that Matthew Bucksbaum, president of General Growth Management which is devel oping a major shopping center at Army Post Road and S.E, Fourteenth Street, said that a Younkers Department Store is the only tenant that is "firmly committed right now." "we nave no firm com mitments from any other ten ants, although we have been talking to several," said Bucks baum. Added Bucksbaum: "We'd love to consider Dayton, if they interested in our location. But we haven't discussed it that extensively. All I can say is, we have a shopping center and if they want to join us, we'd love to have them." The other major new shopping center that is being considered in the Des Moines area the Windsor Mall at Seventy-third Street and University Avenue in Windsor Heights has not announced any tenants or construction dates. The proposed Windsor Mall shopping center is owned by Colby Interests.

Clark Colby, a partner in the firm, said he doesn't know the status of that shopping center, including whether any tenants have been signed or what firms have expressed interest in leas ing space there. He said his brother, Charles, "handles all that," but that he was out of the city and could not be reached until early next week. Presently, the largest shop ping center in the area is Merle Hay Mall, where a major addi tion is scheduled for completion later this year. A Montgomery Ward department store will be housed in that addition. Youn kers and Sears, Roebuck Co already operate department.

stores at Merle Hay. Psychiatric Clinic Moved The Psychiatric Clinic of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery has been moved to the campus at 3200 Grand Ave. Formerly located at 725 Sixth the clinic offers personal counseling and psychotherapy, as well as testing and con sulting services. The clinic is under the director of Dr. Erie W.

Fitz, chairman of the psychiatry division at the college. The clinic offers services to the public on a sliding fee scale based on income and ability to pay. Dayton-Continued from Page One down the Dayton proposal to locate a store in the shopping center. "We expect to have an an swer" to the court suit within two weeks, Levine said in a telephone interview. Levine said the reply to the suit wiil include reasons why Dayton was rejected as a tenant for the shopping center.

The suit filed by Dayton claims that jhe company agreed on June 2 to locate a department store in the shop ping center, located east of Thirty-fifth Street and north of Interstate 235 in West Des Moines. The suit further states that Frederick 0. Watson, president of Watson Construction Co. and Valley West Des Moines Shop ping Center, in a letter to Day ton officials on June 5 accepted the Dayton agreement, providing that Dayton's board of di rectors would approve the agreement in August. A copy of the letter is attached to the suit.

However, John Diesing, vice- president and secretary of Brandeis, said in an interview Tuesday that Watson had told him last week that Valley West officials made a sound proposal to Dayton-Hudson, but that Dayton-Hudson did not accept the proposal and that no lease was even drawn up. Offered to Others Diesing quoted Watson as saying that the same proposal had been made to other firms. Diesing 'said it is standard op erating procedure for a devel oper to make such proposals to several firms. The suit states that a special meeting of the Dayton board cf director's was set up for Wednesday to take action on the lease agreement. But before the Dayton board could take the action, the suit contends, Dayton was notified it could not locate a store in the new shopping mall.

The suit docs not say how this notification was received or what reasons were given by Valley West officials. The letter stating that Dayton wanted to have a store in the shopping center, the suit said, specified that Valley West officials could use Dayton's name to lure other prospective tenants to the shopping center. The suit states that the "lease site is unique and if (Valley West Des Moines Shop ping Center) does not perform according to its agreement, (Dayton) will not be able to find a comparable site in the city of Des Moines." Eric F. Schwarz of Thoma, Shoenthal, Davis, Hockenberg and Wine, the Des Moines law firm that is representing Dayton, said Dayton planned to open the department store in West Des Moines, then launch a state-wide expansion program in Iowa. "No Explanation" Schwarz added that "we have never had any kind of explanation" about why the Dayton store was rejected as a tenant for the shopping center.

He said the store in West Des Moines "was to be the hub, the center of (Dayton) stores in- Iowa." Cedar Rapids is among the other cities where Dayton planned to open stores, Schwarz said. Dayton already operates Target discount Stores in Iowa. Dayton, in the suit, seeks a court order requiring Valley West "to perform its agreement by providing (Dayton) the lease space agreed to as a third and final store" in the shopping WOI 640 Ames 6:00 News 7:15 Music 8:00 News 1:30 Soviet Press 1:45 Markets 2:00 Music 4:00 All Things 5:30 News, Bus. 6:00 Options 7:00 Concert 10:00 Morning 12:00 News 12:15 Farm Facts 1:00 News KWKY 1150 Des Moines 5-30 C.

No Other Case Donielson and FCC officials, kho were In Des Moines, said Khev know, of no case in the hast where anyone has been fcharged with a violation of this 'rule for using a CB radio to inform others of a radar speed check, or to tell other truckers of weigh stations that are open. Donielson said he and the FCC "take the position now that CB radios cannot be used to avoid state laws" al though FCC officials have said the past they were not sure that communications among truckers concerning speed traps and weigh stations amounted to violation of the prohibition against CB transmissions for a our pose contrary to other laws, Donielson said that although Teamster Union and trucking company officials have promised compliance 1 1 55-miIe-an-hour speed limit that has been in effect in Iowa since March, there still is "continued flaunting of the law all of us who've been on the road know that." Donielson said the FCC has promised to provide CB radio monitoring equipment period- cally in Iowa to keep truckers and car drivers from misusing CB radios.

In addition, he said that if any evidence turns up mat ruck line owners are encour aging their drivers to use CB adios "so they can get 700 miles out of a trucker a day of 500, we'll submit that to a grand jury on a conspiracy" (allegation). He said, though, there was no immediate evidence of this.

Donielson said Kaldenberg and Wisdom would be released on their own recogni zance as soon as they signed waivers and agreements to appear- in Federal District Court here for arraignment on the charges. While the charges against the two drivers' were being processed, their trucks were held at Veterans Memorial Auditorium under the guard of a federal marshal. Donielson said the drivers would be allowed to reclaim their rigs, as soon as they sign the agreement to appear for their later arraignments.

He added, "It just doesn't seem possible.

It can happen to everyone else but you." Praise Residents Law enforcement officers who cordoned off the town Tuesday morning to keep out sightseers praised the co-operation of resi dents in coping with the storm aftermath. The storm hardly had left when some groups were in the streets lifting logs and fallen utility poles out of the way so emergency vehicles could pass. "I never saw people cooperate any better in my life than I did here," said Delaware County Sheriff Bert Ellcdge, jr. Electrical power, which was knocked out in all parts of town when the storm hit Monday evening, had been restored to selected parts of the community by 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Some nower was deliberately left off to avoid the danger of fires. Momentary Scare When power was restored the still-jumpy Ryan residents had a momentary scare. Officials said they apparently had for gotten to turn off the town's fire siren following the tornado, and when the electricity was restored, the siren blared briefly, sending many persons from the Catholic church gymnasium, which was not damped, into the streets to watch the sky. The eym, about a block north of the church, is serving as a Red Cross disaster relief center and Father Beelner said it also will be used for church services for the time being. Water pressure for fire pro tection was maintained through out the night by a farm tractor whose power take-off unit was coupled to one of Ryan's two municipal wafer pumps.

The numos normally are powered by electric motors. Gas service to the town re mained cut off Tuesday morning to avoid possible explosions, ana many phone lines in the community remained down. Mrs. Bernice Riniker and her children, Diane, 19, Kathleen, is, Janet, 13, and Ronald were among those injured when the storm hit their home on the south edge of Ryan. At Iowa City Diane, who suffered head and neck injures, remained in fair condition Tuesday at University Hcpitals in Iowa City.

Kathleen and Janet were in Delaware County Memorial Hospital in Manchester with multiple bruises and possible back injuries. Mrs. Riniker suffered multiple bruises and pos sible internal injuries. All three were reported in fair condition Tuesday. Ronald was treated and re leased from the Manchester hospital.

Also injured were Mrs. Alberta Wendt, 81, Charles Saunders, 87, and Ivan Anderson, 27. They were also listed in fair condition at the Manchester hospital. Anderson suffered a fractured pelvis; Saunders suffered back injuries and mul- tiple cuts, and -Mrs. Wendt suffered multiple bruises and a possible concussion.

Paul Albright, administrator of the hospital, said at least two other unidentified persons were treated for minor injures and later released. KCCI TV DES MOINES eight months warrants their continued use at least through the end of this summer, Wilkey said. The helicopters cost an average $22.51 an hour to fly during' the first 500 hours of operation. A check after the first 100 hours of flight time showed a $40-an-hour cost, but Wilkey said that amount had been cut down because of better weather and alternating the use of the two helicopters. The city has spent about $18,000 of the original $27,500 allocation for the helicopter op eration.

Purchase of a $2,000 muffler would leave $7,500 to operate the aircraft into early fall, Wilkey said. In their first 500 hours of op eration, the city manager said, the two helicopters were dis patched on 568 trips. These resulted in the apprehension of six burglars, one assailant, a runaway, a drag racer, two hit-and-run vehicles, a "wanted" vehicle and two reckless drivers, Wilkey wrote the City Council. The helicopters also aided in the recovery of nine stolen mo tor vehicles, assisted at two drowning scenes, spotted four fires and four accidents and assisted in several high-speed chases. In listing the advantages of helicopters over ground police units such as patrol cars, Wil key said the air craft increase observation for crime detection, reduce time in responding to incidents, cover a larger geo graphic area, reduce the num ber of necessary back-up police vehicles, give access to areas cars cannot get to and deter crime as they are visible from the ground.

Disadvantages of the helicop ters when they are compared to ground vehicles include their I high cost of operation, Wilkey said. He also listed their avail-ibifity for fewer hours of the day, their dependence on good weather, their inability to provide face-to-face contact with citizens and complaints about noise at night. Wilkey said in an interview that he has not recommended for or against continuing the helicopter program after the $27,500 runs out because he still is preparing a Police Depart ment budget for next year. The total amount of that department's budget, as well as other city needs, will determine whether the helicopters' role in police work is of high enough priority to warrant their costs, he said. Cycle Hits Deer; Youth, 14, Killed (Thi Tribune'! Iowa News Service) BONAPARTE, IA.

The body of a Bonaparte youth was found by his relatives and friends late Monday, after his motorcycle struck a stray deer. James Dale Eden, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Eden of Bonaparte, had failed to show up at a friend's home at 10:30 p.m. His body was later discovered about 6 miles northeast of Bonaparte on a county gravel road, officials said.

Blackhawk County authorities said the deer also died from the collision.

Red Cross field representative for south east Iowa, said 45 homes were destroyed or at least slightly damaged in the tornado. He said the list included six houses and a mobile home wiped out, 25 houses with major damage and 13 with minor damage. But despite the destruction, almost no one was ready to throw in the towel. "It's the great town in Iowa. It's the capitol of the world," said one resident, Earl Carlton, 59, who only hours before had agreed with several other persons over a cup of coffee that up to 95 per cent of those who lost their homes in the sudden storm would rebuild and re main in Ryan.

We heard the siren and the kids looked weeks," Norton said. Airport operations manager Headley said the shutdown will be necessary as contractors resurfacing a main runway lay asphalt, on that runway's intersection with a runway. Until that time, the 6,500 fool runway will be the only one used by commercial airlines during the $3.3 million resurfacing project, which was to be started this week and completed in about 60 days. The next largest runway at the airport is only 3,200 feet long, too short for commercial aircraft, Headley said. He said, however, that smaller private aircraft can continue to use the airport while the large intersecting runways are closed down.

By John Fryar There is no way to avoid closing the Des Moines Municipal Airport to all commercial airline flights sometime in October while a runway intersection is being resurfaced, officials say. But how long the airport win be closed to commercial flights is still in question. Dean Head- ley, airport operations man ager, says it will be closed at least 48 hours and up to 15 days, depending on the weather and the condition of the con crete underneath the asphalt.

Headley said the airlines and U.S. Postal Service officials will be told at least two weeks in advance when the runway intersection will be closed and how long the work will take, so they can make other arrangements for getting cargo and passengers into and out of Des Moines. United Airlines City Manager Clark Gwmn said his firm has not yet made plans for rerouting air passengers. He said such plans will depend on how long the airport is closed. Ozark Air Lines resident manager Larry Fredette said that "every effort" would be made to contact passengers with reservations including Des Moines during the shutdown period and reroute them in time to make other arrangements.

Braniff International Customer Service Agent Allen Norton said his airline also would notify passengers with reservations abo'ut the closing and would refuse to take reservations into or out of Des Moines, once the shutdown period is known.
