Mississippi's legislature voted $10,000 and a similar amount was appropriated by the WPA in Washington for relief work in the dozen communities affected.

Heaviest hit in Kentucky was Browder, West Kentucky coal mining community where nine died and at least 20 were injured. Four were killed end about 40 hurt near Leitchf ield and a like number died near Bardstown. Others died in scattered sections. As the task of cleaning up wreckage and feeding and quartering the homeless was begun, the death toll from two storms that struck scattered areas in east-central Illinois stood at 18. Property damage was heavy in the area around Alvin, Lacon and St.

Joseph. Dipping into western Tennessee with destructive force, the storm left 15 dead in that section with heavy property damage. Swerving in a northeasterly route, the tornado struck in mid-State, killing eight and injured many. Two were killed at Goshen, and at least 30 injured. The Indiana tornadoes ripped freakishly in two areas about 150 miles apart Goshen, in the north-central sector, suffered the severest blow.

A number of persons were injured at Shelbyville in the southern part of the State. 1 The storm cut across the northwestern tip of Alabama, leaving two dead and a number injured near Florence. Many homes were demolished in nearby communities. Civil Defense Units Function Without Hitch Here (Continued From Page One) lobby door or the flashing of Jight inside a building. Although extensive prepare-tions, including the training of around 1,700 wardens and auxiliary members, had been completed and each unit was poised for action, at control headquarters the atmosphere was as tense as if the ''real thing" was imminent.

When any one of the seven telephones rang, each man moved forward, willing to receive an or-i der. "All hands Want to do something to help," was the comment of a doctor in one of the medical auxiliaries. The, "yellow" signal flashed' at 8:02 p.m and all key men, including those at Maxwell and jr Th Aue-td li Ml Communities in seven Southern and Midwestern States, digging out from under the wreckage of one of the most destructive tornadic storms in recent years, counted yesterday at least 150 dead and more than 1,000 injured. The swiftly-Striking winds left behind a trail of smashed homes and buildings that sent damage estimates into the millions. A number of the injured were believed dying.

Mississippi's heavily-populated cotton growing belt in the north-central section bore the brunt of the terrific winds. At least 78 were known dead and some 650 injured in that State alone. A path of death and destruction also was left in the wake of tornadoes in Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama and Missouri. None was reported killed or injured in Missouri, but the storm did damage as far as the West-central section of that State.

In order to make the action more realistic, the State Guards were ordered not to leave their homes until after the "all clear" that ended the blackout -had sounded.

A summary of their accomplishments showed that: Twenty-two minutes after the "all clear" a guard had been thrown around Fort Dixie Graves. Thirty minutes after the "all clear," 40 cots, completely made up with mattresses, sheets and blankets, had been set up at the armory and six nurses from St. Margaret's Hospital were in attendance to care for "wounded." An emergency ambulance, furn-, ished by Company 58, was also on hand. Company 56 was also credited with obtaining services of the nurses, through courtesy of the hospital Forty-five minutes after the "all clear" trucks had arrived from the Arsenal at Kilby and were being dispatched to the various other points to be placed under guard. Volunteer State Guardsmen and their officers entered into the "game'' with enthusiam and carried through their maneuvers without accident or mixups of any Kind, it was reported.

British To Have Goal, Clothes Cut LONDONfUarch 17 (P) untons were told by their government t6day they would have to get along with fewer clothes and less fuel. The double-barrelled tightening up was announced by Hugh Dalton, president of the Board of Trade, who said that beginning June 1, the clothes ration would be reduced about one-fourth and m. mv.w....g VUI, (SB and electricity would be intro- I 1 uucea unmeaiaieiy. The clothing allowance will be cut from 66 coupons a year to a rate slightly over 51. The plan of issuing extra coupons for children and workers with special needs will continue.

With 66 coupons Britons have been able to buy a suit, raincoat, pair of pajamas, pair of socks, a shirt and two handkerchiefs. Dalton told the House Commons that fuel rationing would be instituted because of "a very serious problem confronting the nation." "Our coal consumption has been grossly insufficient and our consumption excessive. We havt just scraped through so far." v. His statement was made during (debate in which David Greenfell, secretary for mines, stressed the need for more coal miners in an effort to build up stocks for next Winter. Greenfell declared the country now is consuming far more coal than before the war and that it would be "a very difficult task to meet next year Remands," although he foresaw no difficulty for the present Winter.

Uruguayans, Chileans Riot At Sinkings Montevideo Government Seize Interned Nazi Ship In Retaliation MONTEVIDEO, UGUAY, March 17 UP) A crowd of rioting students stoned a store owned by a suspected Axis sympathizer tonight in protest against the sinking of the Uruguayan merchant ship Montevideo off the Haitian coast. After some 200 youths attacked the toy shop operated by a Spaniard believed to belong to the pro-Fascist Falangists the crowd swarmed toward the offices of the nationalist newspaper El Debate. The marchers cried, "to Jail with Herrera," referring to the nationalist leader, Luis Alberto Herrera. Uruguay was added today to the list of American republics falling victim to the Axis U-boat campaign in the western Atlantic with the torpedo sinking of the merchantship Montevideo and the government retaliated by seizing the interned German ship Following the announcement of the loss of the Montevideo with 17 of her crewmen, the government ordered suspension of further sailings of Uruguayan ships until arrangements could be made for their protection. It was understood these vessels would be armed.

SANTIAGO, CHILE, March1 17 (ff) Disregarding government efforts to quiet public reaction, groups of youths in a series of flying raids smashed windows of shops belonging to Axis subjects and suspected sympathizers tonight in protest against the sinking of the Chilean freighter Tol-ten last Friday outside New York harbor. The Chilean government announced tonight it has asked the United States to send a ship on a special voyage to Chile with the cargo which the torpedoed Chilean freighter Tolten had been destinea to carry and that in the future Chilean ships would display lights and flags in all Wfltsrs. The Tolten was sunk early last Friday off New Jersey's Barnegat Point, after a U. S. patrol boat had required her to extinguish ill running lights, the ship's operators said.

In the belief that the darkened Tolten "might have been mistaken for a belligerent," the government directed that ships of this neutral country hereafter prominently show their lights and flag "in whatever waters they navigate." NASSAU, BAHAMAS, March 17 (Jp) Fifty-seven survivors of a torpedoed vessel reached Nassau Sunday after two days in lifeboats and reported one, man died when their ship was sunk. The identity of the vessel and details of the sinking were not made." It -was the third group of survivors to be brought here in eight days.

New Arrest Made In Tire Thefts The arrest of Frankle Tazzano, of Montgomery, who has been sought by the local police authorities for the past few days in connection with the theft of 12 tires from the Dixie Drive Your self several weeks ago, was announced yesterday by Detectives Lewis Miller and Mike Chisholm, who were assigned to the case. Tazzano, who was arrested in Sheffield by State Highway Pa rolmen and removed to Birmine ham for safe keeping, was brought back to Montgomery Monday by Detectives Miller and Chisholm, who said that ten of the 12 tires reported stolen had been recov ered and that the rest was ex pected to be found shoftly. The arrests of three negroes. Fate Hooten, Tony Howard and Dave McCall and one white man, Sam Senter, local merchant, in connection with the same case were made several days ago. The negroes were bound over to the Grand Jury under a $300 bond each.

Sam who had his hearing temporarily postponed, is meanwhile out on a $500 bond. Detectives Miller and Chisholm said that other arrests in connec tion with the same tire theft were expected to be made 'soon. nese and slip safely through their net. The Chief Executive said that Francis B. Sayre, American high commissioner to the Philippines, had been ordered home to make reports and had arrived saieiy today at Honolulu.

The exact way in which Sayre Sot out of the islands was not disclosed. Mr. Roosevelt said that after Sayre makes his reports ne proDauiy win return to some southwest Pacific point. General Wainwright, who takes over the immediate Philippine command, is a 58-year-old cavalry man with a distinguished record. In the early operations of the present war, while MacArthur was engaged in realizing his carefully laid plans to withdraw his main forces intact into Bataan, Wainwright commanded the northern front of the island of Luzon, including the mounted and armored units which fought rearguard actions to protect the mam troop movements.

Famed Commander Is Shifted Fronr Bataan By Air (Continued From Page One) Allied morale tonight and stirred hopes- of early offensive blows against, the Japanese foe. MacArthur, only Allied general who has fought a major Japanese drive to a standstill, arrived in Australia today by plane, the War Department disclosed. His gallant defense of the Philippines already an epic, the fighting general was shifted to his new command with its vastly greater responsibilities and wider opportunities, by the orders of President Roosevelt and at the request of the Australian government. Jubilant members of Congress labelled the news the best of the war to date, and from abroad came expressions of British and Australian satisfaction. "He's the best man for the job," the Australians said.

Attack On Japs Hoped Following the War Department's disclosure that American ground troops and air force units have arrived in Australia "in considerable numbers," the assignment of MacArthur to the supreme command there gave impetus to the growing hope of a major offensive, against the Japanese who as yet have hesitated to risk a direct attack on Australia. Arriving at an undisclosed destination in Australia, MacArthur was accompanied by his wife and small son, and by several members of his staff. Among the latter were Major General Richard K. Sutherland, MacArthur's chief of staff, and Brigadier General Harold H. George, of the air forces.

The Philippines remain a part of MacArthur's command in his new job, but direct command of the American and Filipino troops still fighting the battle of Bataan and harassing the invaders else where in the archipelago, passes, to Major General Jonathan M. Wainwright senior officer re-, maining in Bataan. In late afternoon communique, the War Department reported the Japanese forces on Bataan, who had been inactive for several days, had renewed their attacks, but without avail. American harbor defenses in Manila Bay were heavily shelled for several hours by enemy batteries stationed on the Cavite shore, but damage was slight Although MacArthur's transfer to Australia was ordered by Mr. Roosevelt on' February 22, a delay was granted at MacArthur's request to permit him to complete arrangements with his staff in the Philippines for continuing the fight there.

President Explains Discussing the move at a press conference, Mr. Roosevelt said that MacArthur would have command of all United Nations land, naval and air forces in the area this side of Singapore. Thus his jurisdiction will not overlap that of General Sir Archibald Wavell, formerly southwest Pacific commander, but now commander in India and Burma. Mr. Roosevelt warned that the Axis short wave propagandists would try to make capital out of MacArthur's transfer by picturing it as abandonment of the Philippines.

The President, as commander-in-chief, said that everyone in the United States admired MacArthur's determination to fight on with his men in the Philippines, but when it came to a question as to where he could best serve his country, there could be only one answer. Incidentally, Mr. Roosevelt disclosed that MacArthur was not the only one to the Japa Order Numbers In Third Draft (Continued From Pare One) 1828, 2031, 1446,41861, 751, 1877, 1305. 977. 595.

A corps of non-commissioned officers from all the services stood by and took turns drawing the capsules in rapid succession. A crowd which only partly filled the auditorium quickly wearied of the monotony and by two and threes began leaving. The draw works this way: Each registration district has a set of serial numbers of its own, ranging from number one upward. The first number drawn tonight meant that the registrant in each district holding that serial number would be the first in the district to be called, if qualified. Some districts have only a few registrants, others have thousands.

If, for illustration, a district has 432 registrants and the first number drawn is 563, it has no bearing on the men of that district. The first number less than 433 drawn from the bowl determined the number one man in that district Higher numbers drawn later are ignored. Two Previous Lotteries There had been two previous registrations and lotteries. The first involved men who, at the time, were 21 to 35, inclusive. The second involved men who had become 21 since the first registration.

The third involved all men between 20 and 44 inclusive who had not previously registered. When it comes to inducting men affected by tonight's lottery, a system of "integration" will be used. If a draft district has 100 class I-A men left from the previous drawings, and 50 from to nights drawings, and the Army cans upon it lor 3U men, then 23 will be from the old group and ten from the new. If there were 100 class 1-A men from the new group and fifty from the old, then 20 of the new group and ten from the, old would be given over to the Army. Some 17,500,000 men registered in the first two draft calls, and an estimated 9,000,000 in the third.

A large proportion of the eligibles from the first registration, men 21 to J5, have been inducted. While the youngsters of me last, registration, the men 20 and 21, will naturally be preponderantly classified as 1-A the older men are not immune. General Hershey has indicated that hundreds of thousands of older men will be needed for the military or industrial effort The questionnaires which the last registrants will receive ask for information on vocational- skills as well as on dependents, information which could be made the basis of assigning' men to the factories, as well as to the battle zones. New Income Tax Hike Is Urged WASHINGTON, March 17. (JP) An individual income tax program designed to raise and superimposed upon the treasury's recommendations for $7,610,000,000 in new revenue was presented to the House ways and means committee today by Dr.

Albert G. Hart associate professor of economics, Iowa State College. "The tax bill that goes through ought ta hit everybody above the poverty level," the 32-year-old educator told the committee. "In order to get consumer purchasing power in line with available con sumer goods, individual taxes should Be very much heavier than what the treasury croDoses. Hart recommended first that the entire program of the Treasury Department based on $3, 000,000,000 in new revenue from Individuals and an equal amount of corporations be approved.

In addition, he proposed a "special national defense tax" with these principal features: 1. Exemptions for families at least $500 lower than the the present $1,500 and for single persona at least $250 below the present $750 level. 2. Collection of that tax at the rate of at least 20 per cent on taxable income starting July 1. i.

Provisions for raising rates or lower exemptions at least every three months if revenue is in- adequate. 4. Determine of final rate for 1942 at the average of monthly rates, provided that the "special national defense tax" plus 1942 income taxes would tax no dollar at more than 90 per cent Should Congress decide against levying what he described as "adequate taxes" Hart recommended "adequate compulsory loans."

Brown, Commissioner William P. Screws and the Alabama delegation in Washington," he said, adding, "I leave the City Hall with a full realization of departing from the most Fleasant associations of my life, can't say that I leave here with regret because we've got a war to win and each one of us has to do his part." CountyV New Poll List Is Published In Journal Montgomery' County's 1942 poll list, showing the names of approx imately 24,000 eligible voters, ap peared in yesterday's Alabama' Journal after what Probate Judge W.

Should errors be found, an immediate report to the Probate Judge is urged, otherwise the list will stand as published. into action tonight as the State's 30 cities of more than 5,000 population blacked out in full-dress preparation for what the future might hold. The alert was flashed from Mobile shortly after 8 p.m., with the blackout beginning slightly before 9. The all-clear was signalled at 9:24.

Governor Dixon, who viewed the blackout from the 25th floor of Birmingham's Comer building, the tallest in the State, declared "another generation of Americans is on the firing line. There is no way for it to survive save as the homeland survives." "This is an illustration of what people, voluntarily and not under compulsion, willingly do in a democracy. "It is a very small part of what they are willing to do as a united nation, and it has been an inspiration to us all." Houston Cole, State civilian defense director, observed the test from an Eastern Airlanes plane flying over the Birmingham district, Civilian defense officials estimated approximately 1,500,000 of the State's 2,800.000 residents were affected by the blackout Critical industries with contin uous operstions were permlttad to remain ngntea dui in trie Birmingham district all major iron and steel plans blacked out.

Alert at 6:47 At 8:28 the "blue" signal flashed from Mobile. This signal indicated that the "emergency" was erowine serious. Then the "blue" flashed a report from a warden that a yellow warning signal at Cleveland and West Jeff Davis Streets could not be extinguished. A volunteer electrician who "just nappened to be there" was hurried to the scene.

The alert of "red" signal flashed at 8:47 p.m. At 8:50 Montgomery was darker than it had been since pioneer days. i Complaints were few. and thev included reports of "some lights leit on in nomes during the absence of owners;" an automobile with headlights on parked at the postoffice. and its doors locked: lights burning on the top floor of a building at Lee and Bibb, which could not be reached bv colice or wardens.

Otherwise; Montgomery was Diacx. Lieut. Register reported that clgarets and cigars were plainly visible from an airplane. Officials said these were probably in the hands of persons on the lawns of their homes. State Guard Acts Held in readiness to take over the Job of civilian protection while fire auxiliaries and medical units move into action, the Alabama State Guard set up a field hospital at Fort Dixie Graves, complete with cots and nurses from St Margaret's Hospital.

Also, the military group established a field kitchen, prepared to serve hot food to workers. Of vital importance in the blackout plan, the State Guard also takes a position around devastated areas to defend it from the possibility of looting, and to ward off as much as possible "mop up" squads of the enemy.
