A four-year-old boy was
killed near Crawfordsville.
Five children were among
the 17 victims in Boone

In Iowa, where the first
tornado of the day touched
down, electricity for more

trouble.
HOLLYWOOD (AP)—Gina
Lollobrigida, de-jewelled by
tax agents, is bejewelled
again— in borrowed rocks-
thanks to comedian Bob
Hope.
The Italian actress’ jewel-
ry box was seized from her
hotel safe Friday by Califor-
nia tax men who said she
owes more than $13,000 in
state taxes.
Hope, hearing of her
plight, quickly called Bever-
ly Hills jeweler Marvin
Hime, who lent Miss Lollo-
brigida about $750,000 in jew-
els Sunday to wear “to bol-
ster her morale” while she
taped the Bob Hope televi-
sion show for which she
came to this country.
She said she offered, after
the jewels were seized, to
pay the back taxes by check,
uut the agents wouldn’t ac-
cept it.

Storms Move East
The deadly tornadoes
struck first in eastern Iowa
in the middle of what had
been a pleasant Sunday aft-
ernoon. By late evening,
twisters had raged through
Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan and Ohio, hopping
and skipping as they moved
to the east.

history. In 1963 an ice show

just stood there and stared
at it."
The Maple Crest apart-
ments in Kokomo were
leveled. Fifteen were in-

ture store and a bowling
alley.
Power was out in Fort
Wayne, Elkhart, Marion.
Kokomo and dozens of
smaller cities. Main rail-

peace talks in Southeast
Asia as a “hallmark of
statesmanship.”
In a keynote speech open-
ing government week at Ok-
lahoma State University,
Monroney said, "He is fol-
lowing sure, sound and time-
tested wisdom that has been
hailed widely by friend and
foe alike.”
Oklahoma's senior senator
said the proposals to negoti-

former President Harry Tru-
man in dealing with commu-
nism in the Middle East.

cases, justice will best be
served by dismissing the ac-

"The issues here involved
are too grave and the partic-

said.
He said subjecting the
