T wu e r s in Crisi Support In Crisis Says Americans Must Continue To Back Ike’s Foreign Policy By ERNEST B. VACCARO KANSAS CITY — Harry S. Truman called today for firm sup-| | port of President Eisenhower dur- ing the critical negotiations in Korea. The former President declined! 7 Tuesday, June 9, 1953 THE Hot-Dog-Eating Rabbit all comment on developments in! § that war-torn country and suggest- ed a similar course for others not | in authority “and not in possession of the facts.” “In a critical time like this,” Truman said in an_ interview, “there can be but one American | foreign policy. The President of the. United States has the facts. ‘We must support him in what he does and recommends. Any other | course could lead only to con- fusion.” The 69-year-old Democrat who held the reins of the U. S. govern- ment for nearly eight years kept ‘abreast of developments through newspaper and radio accounts. But he knew, from his own expe- tience in the White House, that a vast amount of secret information which cannot be made immediate- ly available to the public, pours into the President. His own files from the White House, loaded with information concerning World War II and the first 18 months of the Korean fight- ing, are under strict guard at the nearby Jackson County Court- hoyse. Some of this information, he once told reporters, cannot be made available to the public for 25 years—some maybe not even These files are one day to be| removed to the Harry S. Truman Libraty to be erected on the old family farm at Grandview, Mo. It is in the interest of this library ject for which friends are un- lertaking to raise 1% million dol- Jars, that Truman is making his ee tag since he left the se Jan. 20. “This trip East is not going to a political trip in any sense of 4 word,” he said. “This is no 1 to talk politics.” * He had in mind, he said, that the first Session of President Eisen- \hower’s first Congress has not yet “I want to give the Republicans of time to make good on campaign pledges,” he said with a trace of a grin. “I don’t think I ought to attack them until they've had a full op- ity to do that. Let's wait un- they make their record.” Truman plans to arrive in Wash- about June 22. From there, will go to Philadelphia and lew York.

COMMENDED | Editor, The Citizen, To Master Billie Roberts, OPERATOR My congratulations and deep ad- ter. I perdict a great future for you, May God Bless your efforts and Tornado Leaves Wake Of Death And Desolation Description Of Horror Is Given By Victim Of Michigan Twister By FENTON LUDTKE FLINT, Mich. (—‘It was horri- ble. It was the most terrible thing I ever saw.” That's the way John J. Turbin of Coldwater Road described the tornado that spread death and dev- astation over his neighborhood. Turbin and his wife and two rel- atives escaped unhurt, while neigh- bors were left in pain and death, their homes leveled by the twisting wind that hit the area about 8:45 p.m. last night. “T don’t know why it didn’t get us,” Turbin, a retired Chevrolet worker, said in bewilderment. His son Carl whispered, “Thank God, thank God.” Carl and his wife came in search of the Turbins when they heard of the tornado, When they saw the sagging Turbin home, Mrs. Carl Turbin said: “I just knew they were dead.’ Instead of finding death, they found Carl's father, despite his ter- rifying experience, out helping res- cue workers, Carl and his 6-year-old son Dennis had just left the elder Tur- bins’ home minutes before the twister struck. They were storing some of Carl's belongings in the barn, which was blown away after they left it. With John Turbin and his wife were Chris Carlson, Turbin’s broth- er-in-law, and Mrs. Elsie Booth, Turbin's sister, who lives in Mulli- gan, Mich. “I looked out the dining room window,” Turbin recalled, “and saw an 18-inch-wide maple tree twirled and twisted right out of the ground, There was a terrific noise and I felt something strike the house with awful force. “A giant hand seemed to push me suddenly and I flew through the doorway into the kitchen against the stove. My wife and sister were sitting at the kitchen table. Chris was in the dining room. “Let's get out of here,” Turbin warned them.

(—A rash of tor- nadoes, possibly the most devas- tating of an epidemic year, left an estimated 118 persons dead in Southeastern Michigan and North- western Ohio today. The pall hung far the heaviest over this stricken industrial area, where the death list neared 100, State police and National Guard search crews worked through the night, probing through shattered homes, piles of debris sucked up and dumped by the terrifying twist- ers, and overturned cars blown into open fields. Daylight was certain to expose more casualties, The Flint tornado, which hedge- hopped easterly through Michi- gan’s “Thumb” to Lake Huron, dwarfed half a dozen others which struck along a 350-mile north-south line from Tawas City, Mich., to Bowling Green, O. All in all, more than 200 persons were injured and property damage Tan into the millions, At least a dozen persons were killed in two Ohio tornadoes. Eight were killed in the Cygnet area, two at Cleveland, and one each at Elyria and Ceylon. In Michigan four persons were known dead near Erie, just north of Toledo and the Ohio-Michigan line, A Highland Park, Mich., cou- ple was found dead in their tor- nado-wrecked car in Iosco County near Tawas City, and their two children were missing. One other death was feared in the county. One man was killed near Ann Arbor, in Washtenaw County, and one in Lapeer County, near Brown City. Apparently the same tornado which wrought so much destruc- tion here and then moved on through Lapeer County also cut a swath on through to Lakeport. This is*a Lake Huron village a short distance north of Port Huron, where another tornado hit May 21. There were injuries but no deaths reported at Lakeport. The same tornado which struck in the Pleasant Lake region of Washtenaw County swirled on to Milford, causing an estimated $500,000 property damage to that Oakland County community, No fatalities were reported there, how- ever, The National Guard Armory here was converted into a make- shift central morgue. At last,.count 98 bodies had been brought in, Priests and other clergymen ad- ministered last rites there, Pleas were radioed out of here for doctors and nurses. State po- lice rushed blood to Flint from the state health laboratory at Lansing. Calls went out for antitetanus drugs. Maj. Gen. Lester J. Maitland, state civil defense director, or- dered doctors and medical sup- plies brought here ,from Pontiac, Saginaw, Ann Arbor and -Detroit. State police and the National Guard ordered big crews of rescue workers into this area. Hurley Hospital, which had more than a score of bodies at one time last night, transferred the bodies to the armory so that its space could be used for treating the many injured. Center of destruction was Cold- water Road, just outside of town. The twister leveled 40 houses in a double row in a residential area for auto factory workers. One fam- ily of four was wiped out there. Gov. G. Mennen Williams rushed 4 Forms designed to save time, priced to save you The right forms can- streamline your oper- ations.

The Red Cross set up relief Shelters at Flint and Port Huron, the latter for the Lakeport area injured. A Navy plane was ordered into the air at Glenview (Ill) Naval Air Station to fly 600 pounds of blood plasma and penicillin to the stricken area. Up until last night there had been 227 persons killed in 128 tor- nadoes this year. Property dam- age had been estimated at 146 mil- lion dollars. Of the death toll, 141 were reported in 15 Texas torna- does.
