Then the hot and humid weather turned overcast, and at 6 p.m. the dread black funnel dipped across the community of 1,200 persons. Cutting a thin savage path 500 yards wide for 20 miles, the tornado destroyed 300 of the 500 homes in the village, and flames (swept through the ruins, where uncounted victims burned in the (wreckage of their homes.

Jasper said the plank does not pledge any Republican Party member, officeholder or candidate to favoring or working for such legislation. The plank, he insisted, all people themselves decide about the Court Declines Jurisdiction In State Aid Case MADISON (AP) The Wiscon- I sin Supreme Court Wednesday de- med a request that it take original jurisdiction in a state aid controversy involving county mental hospitals. The court acted on two peti- tions, one by Milwaukee and the other by Racine, Walworth and Winnebago counties. Both actions sought to upset a formula under which the state pays half of the actual average cost of the care of patients in county mental institutions.

The Supreme Court made no comment in rejecting the action. (It means the counties must ini: tiate their moves in circuit court. State payments are based on the over-all average cost of the 36 county mental hospitals in the state. The 1957 average was $18.71 a week, entitling each county to $9,36 per patient per week from the state. The petitioning counties said their costs were higher than the average, which in 24 counties they were less.

They want state aid based on the actual costs in individual hospitals, rather than an average. Gov. Thomson Rushes To Scene Of Tornado SCENE IN HOSPITAL AT EAU CLAIRE Will Stockland, 70.
