St. 34 Killed When Tornadoes Sweep Mississippi Area By United Press. At least 34 persons were dead from week-end tornadoes as a mass of warin air moving northward collided with cold front advancing 'eastward across the Mississippi valley. The eastern seaboard was bathed in unseasonable warmth. The latest storms hit Southeastern Arkansas and West Central Mississippi last night, killed at least five persons, demolished one town and injured scores.

Texas counted 29 dead from its Friday night tornadoes. The unseasonable "heat wave" pushing up from the South sent New York City thermometers to 62 yesterday, a January 6 record. Hospitals in the MississippiArkansas were still receiving injured, many, of them not expected to live. Hurtling out of what the weather bureau termed a "very turbulent area" the first storm struck where Mrs. Ernest Shute, and her sevenyear-old daughter were killed.

Her husband and four other children were seriously injured. Rescue workers toiling in mud and continuing thunderstorms said that the Shute home had been picked up by the wind and deposited as a mere pile of splinters. Doctors at the Greenwood, hospital said that the four children were not to survive. The father, to expected. be the least seriously injured, was still unconscious.

According to meager reports, the swirling winds struck next at Seven Pines, some 12 miles west of Coila, leveling most of the buildings minutes after many of the residents had headed for storm cellars. At Indianola, approximately 40 miles west, what the weather bureau said "probably" was another storm, or one of a series originating in the area, a three-year-old girl was killed. Parents of the child, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Campbell, were also being treated at the Greenville Hospital.

At Lake Village, Ark, about 37 miles west of Indianola, another woman was killed and four men injured. Patrolman A. R. Connerly said names of the injured were not available. Connerly said the wind had hit earlier at Wilmont, where it ripped off parts of houses and other buildings and deposited debris on the main line of Missouri Pacific Railroad, tying up train traffic for 35 minutes.

It struck again, he said, at Jennie, killing another woman and injuring three men, all unidentified.
