(AP) A rash of tornadoes hit the south-central Kansas area south and west of Hutchinson at nightfall last night. There were no immediate reports of extensive damage or casualties. Local police and the sheriff reported funnels sighted on the ground northwest of Turon, just south of Stafford, at Zenith and at Sylvia. Strikes Near Iuka At the airport, four miles north of Pratt, the tornado destroyed a large hangar housing the Tank company, damaged two nearby hangars, knocked out the runway lights and beacon, and scattered about 50 tanks ranging in size from 8 to 15 feet in diameter over the countryside northeast of the airport.

The tornado continued in a northerly direction to Iuka, where four buildings were damaged or destroyed. The twister demolished a grain elevator and a co-operative office building in the southeast part of town, then swept through the center of the community, damaging the city hall and taking the roof off the house of Mayor Warren Taylor. Taylors 16-year-old daughter, Marjorie, who was alone in the house, escaped unhurt. Pratt police and members of the sheriffs department tracked the tornado from the time it hit the ground west of Pratt at about 6:35 p. m.

until it swept through Iuka. Some raced ahead of the storm to warn residents in the area. A tornado damaged a barn, other outbuildings and trees at the Dale Ankenman farm seven miles east of Norton on U. S. 36.

Wreckage was scattered across the highway, and telephone lines in the area were damaged. No injuries were reported. Two miles southeast of Norton, a farmer said he saw a funnel cloud on the ground for about a half mile. It lifted without causing damage, he said. Reports of at least five tornado clouds south of Norton were received in Norton.

Sighted at Piedmont A tornado was sighted above Piedmont, Mo. Witnesses said the twister seemed to be more than a mile above ground and was headed northeast. Ninety minutes of tornado activity inflicted heavy damage on several farms around Smith Center. After hitting two farmsteads near Kirwin, a twister demolished most of the buildings at the dairy farm operated by Glen and Carl McCormick near Cedar, in Southwest Smith County. It demolished all but the house at the Wayne Schoeni farm near Athol and did damage to three other farms in the neighborhood.

The Rock Island railroad agent at Goodland reported a tornado passed across the railroad tracks two miles west of Athol, at about 5:15 p. m. and knocked down four telephone poles. The weather bureaus storm Choice of Fabrics Choice of Gold Coral All Foam Interiors p. of an D.
