A large number of persons were trapped in a tent that blew down during a festival at the St. Gertrude Catholic church. At least 30 persons from there were taken to nearby Our Lady of Mercy hospital. ACCORDING to the sheriff's office, the tornado sliced through a square mile area of Reading. It smashed through a service station, restaurant, apartment complex, two motels and several homes, a deputy reported.

He said three-fourths of the Drake motel was leveled, and about half of the lavish Carrousel motel was destroyed by the twister. He said some 300 units of the Lake Shore Dr. apartments were severely damaged. Homes on the left side of Galbraith Rd. going east and in the Blanche and Arlington Ave.

The scene was a $200,000, tomato-red home in fashionable Bel Air, rented by the actress husband, Polish producer of suspenseful and macabre films. A 19-year-old, bare-chested caretaker was arrested in a guest cottage at the mansion and charged with suspicion of murder.

POLICE identified four of the five victims as: Sharon Tate, 26, a pregnant honey-blonde actress who played sexy parts in movies, including "Valley of the Dolls," and slapstick comedy on television's "Beverly Hillbillies." Jay Sebring, 26, Miss Tate's former boyfriend and operator of hair stylist salons in Hollywood, San Francisco, New York and London. Abigail Folger, 26, a business associate of Sebring's and a member of Folger Coffee Co. family of San Francisco. A man identified as Voy-teck Frykowski, who police said was a friend of Miss Tate's producer-husband, Roman Polanski. THE FIFTH victim was an unidentified man.

The arrested youth was named by police as William Garretson of Lancaster, O. Officers said he apparently had just awakened when they seized him and was wearing 1XSWE: SHARON TATE no shirt. He offered no resistance, police said. Lancaster police said Garretson was investigated for shoplifting in May of 1964 but that charges were later dropped. In October of 1967 he was picked up in Lancaster in connection with a theft but no charges were filed.

The same month he was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Investigators said the victims were slain 12 hours before their bodies were discovered by a maid, who ran screaming to neighbors. The neighbors called police. OFFICERS said the killings appeared methodic and ritualistic because one victim had a hood over his head, and two were tied together by a white nylon rope. Miss Tate was discovered JAY SEBRING with one end of the rope around her neck.

She was dressed in a bikini nightgown, police said. The cord was looped around Sebring's neck and pulled across a ceiling beam in the living room. "It didn't appear as if the two connected to the rope had been hanged because there was blood on them," said Lt. James Shannon. Investigators said all five victims appeared to have been shot.

The word "pig" was scrawled on the front door in what appeared to be blood. SGT. STANLEY Klorman said there were signs of a struggle in a large room and in a guest room. Miss Tate and Sebring were found in the living room, two others including Miss Folger were discovered on the lawn, and the fifth victim was in a car. Telephones and electricity were cut off, police said, and Miss Tate's husband was reported in Europe.

Polanski produced "Rosemary's Baby," among other macabre-fantasy films. Cause of death awaited findings by medical examiner Thomas Noguchi who ordered the somewhat isolated home sealed off and instructed that no one touch the bodies until he arrived. By EMIL DANSKER Daily News Staff Writer Disruption of the PGA golf tournament this week has been promised by. the Southern Christian Leadership conference unless the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce responds to 31 demands from a civil rights coalition. The Rev.

David R. Gil-b president of SCLC's Dayton affiliate, said the type of disruption will be determined by the outcome of Gilbert. talks expected with the chamber by Wednesday. MR. GILBERT said he talked with chamber executive vice president Marvin Purk last week, but was unable to keep a scheduled appointment for a negotiating session because of SCLC's involvement in the strike at Good Samaritan hospital.

John F. Torley, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said chamber officials tw'ce have agreed to meet with SCLC without success. "Once the SCLC postponed met," Torley continued. "No determination of benefactors or amounts can or will be made prior to this final accounting. Chamber of Commerce executives still stand ready to meet at any reasonable time with community leaders who have legitimate purposes to discuss the final distribution of any PGA proceeds." Mr.

Gilbert said a coalition committee is "working on plans as to what we will do if we fail to reach agreement with the chamber." Writer HE SAID THE coalition includes 33 area organizations, including suburban groups, active in such problem areas as housing, education and welfare. He said the demands stem from a contention that time, i ioney and effort spent on an event such as the PGA ought to be matched by a similar ei'fort "to fill human needs." MR. GILBERT said these include increased welfare; support for improved housing and education; provision of seats for the poor white as well as black on the Dayton Human Relations council and on the boards of the Chamber and the United Appeal; setting-up of scholarships to area universities, and improved opportunity for jobs and job training. SCLC also is seeking 2,000 to 3,000 PGA tickets for free distribution to the poor; an invitation to 100 poor persons to attend the PGA annual dinner with transportation provided and opening of the National Cash Register Co. golf course free to the public.

MR. GILBERT said more than $1 million will be spent on the PGA, which starts Thursday and ends Aug. 17, while needs of the poor are ignored.

L. SULZBERGER Stw York Tlmrs In1a PARIS It is an open secret that Washington has been up to the elbows In Middle Eastern plots and counterplots but the degree of involvement and specific details are now for the first time exposed in a book Just published in London. This is called "The Game of Nations." by Miles Cope-land, an American management consultant, at one time employed by the State department, who helped in organizing the Central Intelligence agency. Copeland, an excellent Arabi.st, has spent years in the Middle East where he has impressive contacts, starting with President Nasser. Among United States activities in that area he describes the following.

UNDER MAJOR (later Colonel) Stephen Meade, the U.S. sponsored the 1919 coup d'etat of Husni Zaim in Syria which began the ceaseless putsches that have since marked that country's political life and produced increasing Soviet control. American specialists promoted a "Moslem Billy Graham" to mobilize Islam against communist and sent a wild-eyed Iraqi holy man" on a tour of Arab countries. Copeland concludes: "The project did no harm." Kermit (Kim) Roosevelt, a CIA Middle East expert, was loaned to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to supervise "Operation Ajax" in August 1953, physically ousting the Mossadegh government of Iran and restoring the Shah. COPELAND'S MOST fascinating revelations concern the Nasser revolution In Egypt.

According to him Washington decided in 1952 that "Egypt was the place to start" an attempt to produce forward looking, pro-American Arab governments. That February Roosevelt tried to organize a "peaceful revolution" under the umbrella of King I arouk. In March Turn to U.S., PaRe I7A, Col. I. The U.S.
