Such equipment is on order.

But the present schedule does not call for it to be Installed until the latter part of this year. That would be after tLe normal "tornado season." which extends from March through September and is considered at its peak in April, May and early Tune. "1 urge a crash program to get long-range radar installed at St. Louis as soon as possible," Representative Karsten told The Globe -Democrat in Washington yesterday. He said he is going to seek all possible speed by the Weather Bureau in placing the equipment here, with the hope that the new radar can be installed In time for the tornado season.

"Also," Mr. Karsten said, "I irtend to conduct my own investigation to see lf there has been any delay in getting this radar and to see why St. Louis doesn't have it now. "I cannot understand why, as reported, the Weather Bureau in St. Louis does not fiave the modern equipment available to detect tornadoes.

"It seems to me that St. Louis should be at the top of the list to get this new equipment because the city is in 'tornado "I Intend to see if the Weather Bureau will schedule one of the first sets for delivery to St. Louis, and possibly the Weather Bureau can train men there instead of sending them to Florida."

A new man on the Weather Bureau staff was watching the scope when the omen appeared at 1:49 a. m.

Tuesday morning. His training, told him that a bright, distinct hook-shape spells troublepossibly a tornado. He had seen such blips in photographs and training films. But this one was fuzzy and indistinct. Uncertain, the new man asked a more seasoned forecaster to take a look.

The older hand saw the blip just before it disappeared He thought it was too indefinite to be meaningful. Weatherman George N. Brancato doubts that the blip echoed-the tornado that was to touch down minutes later at little Sherman, Mo.

I4.John Foster Dulles has cancer of undetermined extent. But he will continue as Secretary of State on of absence while undergoing treatment. President Eisenhower made announcement today after visiting Mr. Dulles at Walter Army Hospital. A medical bulletin Issued along with the President's announcement ruled out any Immediate surgery.

It said that the Immediate future radiadon therapy will be used," The disclosure, based on laboratory tests. came about 27 hours after Mr. Dulles was operated on for a groin hernia. The Operation was performed by the hospital commandant, Maj. Gen.

Leonard who removed a cancerous portion of Mr. Dulles' colon two years ago. Department press officer Lincoln White told newsmen doctors informed Mr. Dulles he had cancer about 9 a. m.

Mr. White said President Eisenhower and Mr. Dulles' family were nod-tied about the same time. Mrs. Dulles was reported to be bearing the news of her husband's illness in quiet stoicism.

Friends said her chief concern appeared to be to spend as much time as possible at the hospital and to do whatever she can to ease the Secretary's illness. "She's a real soldier," a friend said. The news evoked expressions of regret and concern from this capital and around the world. It also threw away the Allies timetable of negotiations on Soviet efforts to oust Western Troops from I3erhn. And it spurred speculation on a possible successor to Dulles, who will be 71 in II days.

A tornado warning system using radio and television announcements, sirens, red lights, loud speaker instructions and other signals was established here Dec.

30, 1957, based on the tragic experience gained from the May 20 disaster that killed 38 persons. A co-operative project of the city, the Board of Police Commissioners and the Weather Bureau, it is designed for use when it is believed danger threatens life and property in Kansas City because of the approach of tornadoes or other emergency weathel condiitons. The sequence of action established begins with a warning originatingwith the chief meterorologist which is relayed by telephone to the police dispatcher. A direct telephone line is used. INFORM MAYOR If the meteorologist and the dispatcher dedde there is time enough they try to inform the Mayor, the city manager, the director of public works, the administrative assistant to the city manager, and the police chief, in that Order.

The city officials then make the decision whether to issue a public warning. However if there is a critical time element, the dispatcher may issue warnings directly.

The two pilotsWilliam Coffee, of Cleveland, and William Boom, of Montclair, N. J.knelt in front of the Pontiff after they alighted from the craft. Then Pope John recited a prayer in Latin and blessed the helicopter.

"0 Lord," he said, "from whom come all things and all perfect gifts, bless this helicopter." The Pope used the new Latin word helicopterum for the word helicopter. Italian Senator Guiuseppe Caron, under secretary for civil aviation who also was aboard the helicopter, told the Pope that it could reach the papal summer residence at Castelgandolfo, about 15 miles south of Rome in the Alban Hills, in less than 10 minutes. "The landing in the San Damasus court yard was enough for today." the Pope replied, "Let us see it next time."
