The dog was found in an apartment above the Golden Eagle night club. The St. Louis Humane Society reported that later four sick and injured dogs were rescued from a garage in the rear of a demolished building at 3872 Page Mr.

Brancato made the statement in disclosing that the destructive tornado may have been in existence as far southwest of St. Louis as Sullivan, Mo. Mr. Brancato also disclosed that a new 1100,000 tornado-tracking radar set has been ordered for the weather office here. "We have reports that it sctually may have been in existence as far away as Sullivan," Mr.

Brancato said in reference to the tornado. "There are indications it was aloft at that point." He said he received a letter from a woman at Sullivan in which she stated that she heard a terrific noise which she be. lieved was a tornado. She the noise shortly before 2 a. m.

Tuesday. After she heard reports of the disaster in St. Louis later, she felt even more certain that a tornado had passed above Sullivan that morning. Sullivan is about 68 miles from the mid-town area. Twenty-one persons were killed and 300 hurt by the tornado which caused 112,000.000 damage here.

NEW MAN ON JOB Mr. Brancato, who has been criticised for the failure of his staff to forewarn St. Louis of the impending tornado, said that at 1:49 a. m. Tuesday a "new man on the staff" of the Weather Bureau was watching the radar set in the bureau office at Lambert-St.

Louis Municipal Airport and observed an echo with what appeared to be a "hook-like" shape. This hook type radar echo was coming from a location about 21 miles southwest of the airport. he explained. "All observers," Mr. Brancato said, "have been taught to look for this type of thing." Be said further that the hook Is indicative of a tornado.

It is not a positive sign, however. Mr. Brancato related that the observer called to an experienced forecaster who looked at the radar screen and saw an odd-shaped echo, which quickly disappeared. The forecaster decided It was not the hook-like echo which is thought to be a tornado Idanger signal. The Weatherman said a stronger radar set would have left no doubt whether the odd.

shaped echo was a tornado book echo. Mr. Brancato said that the set in use now is only capable of picking up storm signals 90 miles away under ideal conditions. Under the conditions Tuesday morning, be said. the radar was able to receive signals only 30 or 40 miles away.

The hernia operation was per-1 formed between ft and 9 o'clock this morning at the Army's Walter Reed Hospital. During the operation, tissues and fluids were removed for microscopic examination. What this may show as to the presence or absence of cancer is to be disclosed tomorrow, about noon.

REFUSE COMMENT Neither the White House nor the State Department would say anything pending tomorrow's announcement. The White House would not discuss the nature of a report Mr. Dulles, given to President Eisenhower this afternoon his personal physician, Gen. Howard M. Snyder, who witnessed the operation.

There was an interval of more than 24 hours in 1956, when Mr. Dulles was. operated on for trouble with his colon, before it was announced that a cancerous condition had been found. That condition was said to have been cleared up by the operation then. Newsmen asked in vain for some official explanation for the wait of more than 24 hours for a full medical report.

Normally, at least a preliminary pathologist's report is made to the surgeons before an operation is completed. CONFERS TODAY It was disclosed that President Eisenhowerwho seldom has formal appointments on Saturdaywill confer tomorrow with the acting secretary of state, C. Douglas Dillon. The President also will see Loy W. Henderson, who handles administrative affairs in, the State Department.

Mr. Dillon would be -among the possibilities if President Eisenhower had to make a selection for a successor to Mr. Dulles. Under Secretary Christian A. Herter outranks Mr.

Dillon and would be another possible choice, but he is afflicted with arthritis. Mr. Herter is to reach Washington late tomorrow from a cut-short vacation in South Carolina. Mr. Dulles, soon to be 71 years old, has been the top foreign policy director as long as Mr.

Eisenhower has been President and President Eisenhower has never ceased praising him. However, if it turns out that Mr. Dulles has been stricken with cancer for the second time in three years, it seems certain to remove him from the public scene before very long. scene before very long. ave.
