In describing the havoc at Salem community, Eaton said, "It was definitely a twister.

It would hit one house, then skip a house or garage, then move on to another. One trailer was blown about one-quarter mile and landed on the same side of the highway where it had been parked before." One mobile home just disappeared, he added. Edwin Cundiff, manager of radio station WAIN in Columbia, said the destruction just north of Columbia was "terrible. There are houses absolutely demolished. You couldn't even tell where they were.

I saw one house that had been moved at least 200 yards." Cundiff said only the walls Darrell Lawson, 9, tries to hold onto a spinning merry-go-round at Moraine's new tot-lot.

Louie B. Nunn, awak ened shortly after the twisters struck late Tuesday, left at dawn by helicopter for a survey of the destruction, concentrated in three areas along an 80-mile east-west path. The governor's i reported six deaths in Adair County, two in Russell County and two in the Butler-Warren counties section about 80 miles west of Columbia, the Adair County seat. "IT WAS just like a vacuum cleaner sucking up everything in sight," reported Gary Eaton, a Civil Defense official from Green County. Eaton reported seeing autos "hanging in trees like Christmas ornaments.

And we even found some Christmas ornaments." Eaton added, "In Russell County, for a 1 some chickens even lost their feathers and they were still alive." State police estimated that at least 25 persons were injured in Russell county, adjacent to Adair on the southeast. THERE were 40 known injured in Adair county itself and the hospital at Somerset, to the east, said it had admitted 32 persons for treatment, and 10 were hospitalized. Eighteen more injured were taken to Bowling Green, lying between the damaged areas, and others were brought to Louisville, 100 miles away. The first twister was reported near South Hill, northwest of Bowling Green, about 10 p.m., then skipped along a 10-mile path, causing damage at Richardsville and Reedy-ville and near Morgantown. APPROXIMATELY one hour later, a tornado moved through Casey and Adair counties, where the damage appeared heaviest.

The third hit northern Russell County near the community of Salem, about 20 miles east of Columbia.

Vm against laying people wage increases, not job security." said City Manager James E. Kunde. "It's a situation where they will organize and become more militant and figure this is the only way they can deal with the city structure." THE RAISES came on the heels of an attempt by the DPSU to organize clerical, secretarial, and technical employes of the city. An informational meeting for those employes was held by the union Tuesday night.

Present salaries for those affected by the raises range from $2.26 an hour to $4.47. All commissioners voted for the raises, including Mike M. Liskaiy. business representative for Roofers Union local 75. Liskany said that if he were a non-union worker not granted a raise, "If I didn't outright resign, I'd certainly put a de-emphasis on my job." The DPSU represents about 1.100 of the city's 2,900 employes.

Lawson, son of See STUDENTS, Page 10 nity service officers have been laid off so far. "It's kind of a month-to-month thing," Igleburger said, when asked how many men face a layoff.

"A police department isn't just police officers, it's everyone in the department. "We also have five clerks who quit or transferred and haven't been replaced." SHOULD a layoff be neces-v sary, Igleburger said it probably will be done on a seniority basis. Early this month, 16 new police officers were sworn in after graduating from the Dayton Police academy. "It's unfortunate if we have to lose anyone, and certainly this applies to young men just beginning their police work," he said. "We do regret any losses." Igleburger said services would have to be curtailed if layoffs occur.

"We've got to immediately begin looking at a priority list of services to eliminate," he said. "Some service functions just won't be responded to." Igleburger acknowledged that the 1 i department now needs an additional 150 men to provide optimum service. "WE'RE NOT short that from a previous level, but our needs run about 150," he said. "Last year, we asked for 180 and got 30 community service officers. "We're basing this need for additional manpower on service demands from the community." Firemen reacted bitterly to the loss of four men.

"I can't believe any city official who has thoroughly investigated the consequences of reducing the number of firemen isn't ignoring public safety," said Claude M. Henley, president of Local 136, International Association of Firefighters. HENLEY said he has asked the union's attorney to investigate the possibility of filing an injunction to stop layoffs, but he admitted little chance of success. He pointed out that the city suffering a record fire loss year and that a reduction in the number of firemen is especially ill-timed. "I'm appealing for citizens to contact their city commis-rioners and city manager and raise hell," Henley said.

"Fires are a very serious problem." The layoffs will mean that one foam truck will be eliminated from service. "On rare occasions when we need this piece of equipment, it will be manned by available personnel," said Fire Chief Jerry L. Weissinger. Lima Hospital Changes Vowed "I hate to see any employe, in times like these, lose his job," the mayor said. "I'm not against raising salaries.

I'm against laying people off. "I DON'T think we've made it clear that because DPSU (the Dayton Public Service union, local 101) got a raise, 25 'people got laid off. In times like these, every time someone gets a raise, someone gets laid off." The pay boosts granted today bring salaries of employes in the lower Civil Service levels in line with the 18 per cent raiies given union members over a two-year contract. "The request is for further been hired who are not properly trained and are inexperienced and that the pay is not good enough to insure getting a "competent staff." HE SAID that he feels the Lima State hospital is often used as a "dumping grounds" from the prison system. "We get many prisoners here that the superintendants of prisons just want to get rid of.

They are not mentally but they fear they are trouble makers. We judge them sane and send them back when we can." Reshetylo said he does not have enough doctors or psychiatrists on his staff.

I will not tolerate such things." Dr.

Reshetylo spoke like a man who has wanted to get things off his chest for a long time. He told a gathering of men, "For years I have seen things wrong, and have known some patients were being held at Lima State who should not be. "BUT THERE were laws holding them here and I was not then in a position to do anything." Reshetylo refused to be critical of officials who ran the hospital before him, including Dr. Gerald Wilson, who is said to be on an indefinite leave of absence.

I will not tolerate it from doctors, nurses, attend- ants or guards." He said the place is "grossly understaffed" and that it is difficult for him to be aware of "everything going on inside."
