ST BONAVENTURE. Que
(UPI i - A tornado, darting out
of a storm that produced
hurricane-like winds,
destroyed half this rural
community within minutes
Thursdav It killed or injured
scores of persons, includir*; a
mother and her twin children
Police said at least three
persons were killed and 59
injured. 14 critically
Officials said earlier reports
of 14 deaths were erroneous
“When it struck, we went to
the basement and when we
came back up, the second floor
of our house was gone." said
1-eo Paul Forcier, a lumber
yard owner
The storm struck at 6 p.m.
EDT. and within 10 minutes
cleared a 5 mile by 1-4 mile
path, razing more than half the
buildings in the community 60
miles northeast of Montreal
About 400 of the town's 1,000
residents were left homeless
"Twenty houses have been
completely destroyed,” a
police spokesman said. “The
steeple of the church was
knocked over and crashed in
the road. It is real devastation
here."
The dead were identified as
Denise St. l^aurent and her two
infants, killed when the twister
shattered their trailer home.
A spokesman for Ste. Croix
hospital in nearby Drummond-
ville, Que., said it admitted 14
persons in critical condition
and treated 45 for "everything
from minor cuts to serious
fractures "
Quebec Provincial Police
said 65 per cent of the town,
located 60 miles northeast of
Montreal was destroyed
Telephone communications
were cut by the tornado,
leaving the community virtual-
ly isolated from the rest of the
province.
Police blocked access roads
to St. Bona venture to prevent
looting and keep out curiosity
seekers, after accounting for
the town’s population.
The weather bureau said the
tornado was an offshoot of the
same storm that dumped
heavy rain and whipped up
winds of 70 miles an hour
across southern Quebec.

43 Americans In Space
During Past 14 Years
HOUSTON (UPI) _ When
the last splashdown was over
TTiursdav Apollo-So>nz techni-
cal director Glynn lanney
gave what may stand as the
epitaph for Apollo.
“I think when the history
books are written from a
longer perspective than from
the one we have here this
evening." Lunney said, "we re
going to find a very honored
place for the Apollo
spacecraft.”
Forty-three Americans have
gone into space during the past
14 years, beginning with the 15-
nnnute up-and-down hop of
Alan Shepard in a Mercury
capsule on May 5,1961. He was
followed by five other Mercury
pilots, including John Glenn
who became the first American
to orbit Earth, on Feb 20. 1962.
Then came the Gemini
program which pioneered
rendezvous and docking tech-
niques with 10 two-man orbital
flights in 1965 and 1966
Project Apollo followed
Gemini as a monumental effort
that sent men to the moon in
the three-seat spaceship nearly
identical to the one Thomas
Stafford, Vance Brand and
Donald "Deke" Slayton used to
meet two Russians in orbit for
the Apollo-Soyuz international
spaceflight.
The Apollo effort began with
tragedy when Virgil “Gus”
Grissom, Edward White and
Roger Chaffee died Jan. 27,
1967, in a fire aboard the
spacecraft during a ground test
on the launch pad at what then
w as Cape Kennedy
A modified Apollo was
successfully flown in Earth
orbit for nearly 11 days in
October. 1968, and from then on
Project Apollo rolled from one
success to another The first
moon orbital flight was logged
by three Apollo 8 astronauts
two months later at Christmas-
time.
Apollo 9 made an earth-
orbital checkout of the lunar
lander in March. 1969. Apollo 10
rehearsed lunar landing opera-
tions around the moon two
months later and then Apollo 11
astronauts Neil Armstrong and
Edwin Aldrin became the first
men to set foot on the moon
July 20. 1969
Five more lunar landings
were carried out and one
mission -Apollo 13 —was
aborted with its crew looping
around the moon before
returning home
In all 24 men went to the
moon Twelve landed and the
rest flew around it. Three
astronauts made two flights
The lunar landing program
was followed by the Skylab
effort which used Apollos to
ferry three-man crews to the
orbiting space station. Three
crews lived and worked aboard
Skylab at different times,
spending 28. 59 and 84 days in
orbit.
The Apollo-Soyuz mission
was the last flight of the Apollo,
the last planned splashdown
return, the last parachute
descent and the last flight of
Americans until 1979.

Gurney’s Case Rests
TAMPA, Fla (UPI)
Former Sen Edward Gurney's
defense lawyer, in a table-
thumping six-hour summation,
demanded the jury see lus
client as the ‘Mr (lean" of
politics hauled before the
federal dock by the greed of his
subordi nates
It was the final chance for
Gurney's attorney. C. Harris
Dittmar, to convince the jury
the one-time Republican mem-
ber of the Senate Watergate
Committee is innocent of
bribery and conspiracy
charges
Today it was the turn of
Gurney's three co-defendants
— Joseph Bastien. former
Gurney aide charged with
conspiracy and receiving
unlawful compensation; and
suspended Federal Housing
Administration officials Ralph
Koontz and K Wayne Swiger,
each charged with conspiracy
What did Gurney say. Ditt-
mar asked rhetorically, when
he learned his aides had
collected $400,000 for a political
slush fund7
"He said Stop'!" Dittmar
answered himself, jabbing
with his fist
The case, winding up its 22nd
week, is now expected to be
handed to the jury Saturday for
deliberation.
Dittmar asked the jurors to
compare Gurney’s testimony
with that of the government's
star witness, (jury Williams,
who went to jail far his part as
the fund raiser in the political
scheme
"This man (Gurney) «a
known as Mr. Clean in
politics." Dittmar said. “He is
an honest man."
On the other hand, he said,
Williams was unable to tell the
truth
"He was a liar; he was a
cheat He skimmed the
money,"
