Mrs. Fleener followed as tar as the bedroom door. "He got to the middle of the room and the tower fell on him," she said later. "Just at that moment, I looked up and debris started falling in my face." The giant tower had toppled eastward. slicing the third floor in two.

Steel bars Crashed down between the Fleeners' bed and the crib. Plaster, brick and mortar covered the floor. The baby was crying. Mrs. Fleener, cut on the face, arms and legs, ran to the bedroom.

Thel crib was strewn with debris but' the baby appeared safe. Then Mrs. Fleener heard her1 husband call for help. She did not dare turn on a light. She followed the voice through the darkness and found Mr.

Fleener buried face down under the fallen plaster and steel. "I couldn't see what I was said.

"I was level headed," Mrs. Fleener said. "1 had to be. But that night I broke down a little." The clocks at 1014 Oakview stopped at 2:12 a. m.

But the tornado crashes onward. And now police are becoming aware of what is happening. At 2:13 a.

In the buildings, there were cries from the victimssome trapped or injured, some stunned and afraid to move. 1 Sgt. Schaaf found himself run-, down the street when the' trolley-wire overhead blew Out. "All the streetlights were out." he said. "The wire made an awful sound.

Then it was like a red pencil running down a white sheet of paper. "All of a sudden the gas tank on the truck cut loose their masonry began falling down on! the sidewalk and the street. 1 got out of there quick." Sgt. Edward Schaaf's father was on the force when the great tornado of 1927 struck St. Louis.

He had been killed when a wall toppled on him as he was helping children from stricken school. At Delmar and Whittier, the twister hit a three-story brick and frame building and turned it Into a tomb for eight residents. But it first came softly, with a rattle at the door. Knox Brown, owner of the build-ling at 4202 Delmar, heard the rattle. He thought some thieves might be trying to break in.

He got up to check in his nightclothes. As he neared the door, he heard the rushing roar of the wind. In-i1 he dove backwards to the floor. I The next thing he knew, the building was falling down around him. A bed fell on him and injured his arm.

Two doors away, Andrew Taylor had awakened in the night and sat up to "read the Bible a little bit, like I do when I wake up like that." Then, minutes later: "There was something roaring like two or three wood-burning locomotives. I jumped to the window and there was a giant bonfire of lightning coming out of the southwest. "Then the window blew in and the dust and wind blinded me." Mr. Taylor's wife was cut when her hand was caught by a slamming door. He cared for the wound.

Then he saw people emerging into the debris-littered street. The scope of the disaster now Is clearly beyond human scale. Police feel the combined weight of urgency and frustra join 163 already In the disaster area. But still the dimensions of destruction seem to grow. Capt.

Fred Scheihing and Firemen Bill Conley and Mason Ballard of Hook and Ladder Company 19 moved in first at Boyle: and Olive. They helped some -trapped families out of buildings there. Then they worked their way north past Washington avenue to Delmar and Whittier. We were the first firemen in there," Bill Conley says. "There was a few civilians, digging with their hands.

A woman came up and said some people were trapped in there. "We got there and heard the people hollering under the rubblejust kind of We started trying to find out where they were. "We ran into some ceiling joists. two-by-tens and two-by-1 twelves. We had to have power saw." The saw came.

They flashed a portable light on the wreckage and cut a two-foot hole in a fallen door. "I saw one man stick his hand up," Bill Conley said. "Can you see where at?" the man called out. "How many in there?" the firemen shouted back. "There's four of us here, but one ain't talking." What he meant came clear when the firemen finally opened an escape hole in the packed, debris.

They found four Three were alive. One was his neck snapped. "It took us two hours," Conley said. "There were three: holes where people were About 10 feet from us, there were about six kids and a man and woman. Five feet to the! right, there were three or four! men.

One officer reports a shattered gas main and signs off the air with an awesome plea: "Do something!" In the 2700 block of Bacon street, two flats crumbled under the fury of the tornado. Harry Lockner, 11, and David' Fitzgibbon, 18, were en route home after a night out. The wind pushed at their car I and threatened to flip it over on its back like a bug. But they were unaware of the intensity of the storm until a fallen tree blocked their path on Bacon street.

They started to back up. But a man with a flashlight came up through the darkness, calling for help. "People are trapped in there," he shouted, gesturing at the fallen building. The cries of the helpless pierced the air. Harry Lockner found three children, trapped under some criss crossed fragments of wood.

He pushed it aside, helped them out and led them across the street. They were crying. Dave Fitzgibbon, meanwhile, glanced downward and saw a blanket sticking out from under a pile of And suddenly, something moved. He and Harry hurled aside the chunks of debris until they had cleared the face of a manseriously hurt but still alive. "My the man said, gasping for air.

And only then did Harry ner realize that he had forgotten to call his home at 2326A St. Louis ave. to see if his own family had been hit. It had not. By now the tornado clears the city and crosses the river at McKinley Bridge.

It will spend itself on the East Side but not without wreaking more damage. Like the police dispatcher's office, the fire alarm center on the fourth floor of City Hall was flooded with calls and radio messages. The rush had started earlier; during the heavy rains of Monday night. Then the tornado calls tumbled in. A woman: "Will you send the Tire Department to 4202 Delmar? A house has blown down and people are locked In." Another woman: "Some pee-pie are trapped in a house in back of McAuley Hall.

Some wires are down, and a building Is down and some people are trapped in it." A man: "The lights are out and there's a fire The people are coming over here with their babies. The lights are all out." The switchboard's usually intermittent buzzing was an unbroken monotone. Telephones1 jangled. The radio circuits were jammed. Alarm circuits lit up in a glde of red.

Dispatchers answered the calls, sought out the facts as patiently as possible, sent out equipment to the hardest-hit areas. The noise was constant. The radio: "Eight-oh-three in service.
