It was the worst tragedy in th history of the Flint area. Over 200 homes were smashed splinters and confetti bricks. Damaged wes estimated up to $10,000,000. The angry twister whirled down one path Coldwaler rd. for eight miles.

It struck at 8M p. m. (EST) one mile north of the Flint city limits. It swiped at homes, barns, and stores like a heavy-fisted dictator knocking pawn from a chessboard. A suffocating feeling of misery and death filled the air along the road.

No factories were hit, but most Flint manufacturers, including General Motors' Buick division and AC Spark Plugs, had night shifts on duty.

It had been a road with modest, mostly wood frame homes. Factory workers from Flint's busy industries had lived in many of them. Many fathers and husbands were at work when the twister struck. They hurried home to find nothing. "Officer, officer," cried one, "I live over there (a splintered home).

This was a reference to India, which under Monday's prisoner exchange agreement would guard prisoners who refuse repatriation.

TOKYO. June Communist Peiping radio said tonight that a mutual defense pact offered South Korea by President Eisenhower "will place an outstanding obstacle in the path of a peaceful icttlement of the Korea question." Staff Works On Last Phase Of Truce Pact PANMUNJOM, June UP) Staff officers worked today on final details of a Korean armistice as hundreds of thousands of South Ko-j reans demonstrated violently against the impending truce that will leave their nation divided. The liaison officers met for an hour and 20 minutes. Both sides brought maps into the conference hut, indicating they were working out a cease-fire line. The "South Korean assembly, backing up its leaders' unswerving opposition to the armistice terms, called for "all necessary measures" to prepare for a "northward advance." Even as Koreans surged wildly through the streets of Seoul, Allied Rnd Communist teams met in the tiny truce hut at Panmunjom for 12 minutes amid increasing' signs that an armistice may be signed within the week.

Although an Allied spokesman gave no hint of what took place In the hut, the briefness of the meeting indicated that only finishing touches remained before a rease fire agreement was reached. Lower level officers assembled after the plenary session possibly to iron out the wording of the document that would call a halt to the bloody three-year-old war. In a direct warning to India, the national assembly resolved that South Korea "will execute Its free rights" If any foreign troops touch Korean soil to guard war prisoners after an armistice. Under the prisoner exchange agreement signed Monday, India alone would supply troops to handle the prisoners. South Korea considers India pro-Communist.

Revision of the cease-fire line to follow the present battle line probably was one matter discussed by negotiators and staff officers.
