He said all five persons had their clothes stripped off by the tornado. The Frio County victims were among at least 15 persons who died in mishaps to the violent weather in Texas.

He eventually left the truck and dived for a ditch but was swirled around and carried a quarter mile.

He was in critical condition Monday. The tornado wiped out the farm home of Jack Henley while two of his children were inside. "They curled up together," said Dallas Collins, 17. whose father is a crop duster with Fitch. "They looked at the house and when they looked back it was gone." The children were not seriously injured.

Plainview a mase Heavy Although the Pearsall tornado killed five persons, it was not as financially destructive as the twister which moved through Plainview before dawn Sunday. The tornado cut a swath more than a block wide through a neighborhood described as the most affluent in the Damage estimates ran as high as $5 million. It was the fourth tornado to strike the Panhandle communitv in four years. Former Guerrilla Leaves Dublin Prison Weakened DUBLIN (AP) Mac- Stiofain, a former commander of guerrilla gunmen in Northern Ireland, left jail here Monday, weakened but still demanding that British troops get out of the north. 'I still stand for the same as I did when I went to prison," MacStiofain told newsmen before driving off to an undisclosed location.

Whether he returns to the top leadership of the outlawed Irish Republican Army, however, remains to be seen. Vowed To Starve MacStiofain, 44, lost face in the guerrilla movement by vowing to starve himself to death in jail unless he was released. Instead, he accepted first liquid, and. after 59 days, food. He served nearly five months of a six-month sentence for IRA membership and was freed early for good conduct.

His post as chief of staff of the IRA's militant Provisional is thought to have been taken by David O'Connell, a brmer schoolteacher. "I am not well physically, aut in good spirits," MacStio "ain said. He looked pale and drained from his abortive hunr ger strike. Reinforcement Preparations In Northern Ireland, pepara- tions went ahead to reinforce the British role on both the political and. economic William Whitelaw, Britain's chief administrator in the province, 'announced that elections to a new local parliament Lubbock Man Pleads Guilt Cornelius Washington, IS, pleaded guilty Monday to rob- ben- by firearms before a 137th District Court jury.

This assembly will replace the former Protestant-run legislature. It will give the Roman Catholie minority a greater voice in local affairs, but the real power to run the province will remain in London.

Flaus For Plant On the economic front, Court- au'ds, the British textile group, announced it was building a new plant near Londonderry that would employ 1,500 people and cost about $62 million. It will be one of the biggest factories in N'orthern Ireland, and hundreds of jobs are likely to go to Londonderry Catholics. The British have been at some pains to show Catholics that they have a political and economic future in Northern Ireland. The process is aimed at weaning Catholic support away from the IRA, which wants to drive the British out and reunite the province with largely Catholic to the south. Violence Dogs North Violence, as always, dogged the north.

A 59-year-old Protestant housewife, answering a midnight knock at her door Sunday, was shot dead by sectarian assassins, the 774th life lost in the communal strife of the past years. In Belfast Monday, a British soldier accidentally shot and killed himself. A terrorist bomb there damaged a discount store, the first daylight blast in Belfast for weeks. Advance warning was given to clear the area and no one was hurt. In Coventry, in the English, midlands, a Catholic priest an'JJ five other men were brought to court and accused of a bomb plot, renewing fears that the Northern Ireland violence could spread to other parts of Britain.

In Dublin, MacStiofain warned: "A lasting peace will come when the British government accepts the terms that were put to them last summer the right of the Irish people to de- termine their.own destiny, nesty for political prisoners and the withdrawal of troops." His release still left other key IRA men in custody, among them Joe Cahill, arrested last month in connection with the seizure of a boatload of arms off the Irish coast. Cahill's younger brother, Frank, and two other suspected IRA men were captured near Londonderry on Monday and held for SHOP AND SAVE DAILY AT FORREST LAUAN SHELVING Just arrived! luan mohoflony shelv- ing. with all edges finished. thick, individually plastic wrapped.
