At least 20 persons were injured in twisters in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin. Property damage in Texas alone mounted toward the half-million-dollar mark. Virtually an entire Iowa village was blown away by one of the tornadoes. Two persons were killed in a Texas traffic crash blamed on a blinding rain storm. A twister Saturday night killed five persons in Oklahoma. Texas bore the brunt of Sunday's weather violence with twisters lacing a volley of wind, rain and hail storms across hundreds of miles. Six farm workers were injured when a twister smashed homes and barns south of Hearne. A tornado bouncing along the ground for about six miles north of Austin levelled homes and destroyed factories, causing an estimated $250,000 damage. A twister tore through a family reunion on a farm near Sallisaw, Okla., injuring three persons. In Iowa, a tornado practically demolished the small community of Fanler northeast of Guthrie Center, injuring one person. About 10 homes and the village store were destroyed or badly damaged. The tornado also destroyed or damaged 18 farms, killing 5,000 turkeys on one of the farms. Another twister broke from a line of storms in northern Wisconsin, racing through Green Bay and its suburbs of Preble and Ashwaubenon. Three persons were injured, one by lightning and two others by the winds. Elsewhere, several homes were damaged by a tornado near Kansas City, Kan. Property damage also was reported at Valley Center and Wichita, Kan. Winds up to 70 miles an hour battered parts of Kansas and Missouri, uprooting trees and snapping power lines. Weathermen said the main area of showers and thunderstorms will push eastward today, extending from the Gulf and lower Mississippi Valley to the Great Lakes. A windstorm, believed to be a tornado, struck southwest Ann Arbor and part of the University of Michigan campus today, causing extensive property damage, fires from fallen wires, and the electrocution of a woman. Stanton Citizens On Recall Move STANTON — Five polling places will be open tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. when Stanton voters have an opportunity to rubber stamp "yes" or "no" at the special recall election of Major Victor Zuniga and Councilwoman Hazel Lewis. Seeking to replace them if the recall succeeds are E. H. (Henry) Mendez and Graham Ball. "I hope the vote is the heaviest we've ever had," Zunga commented. "I think the people will vote against the recall in substantial majority." Zuniga declared that he doesn't think the recall has a valid reason, and that the recallists' campaign as a whole has not been favorable to the people. "I think the literature passed out is not the type people would like to see," the major slad. Mrs. Hazel Lewis said that "I am quite hopeful that we'll win, but I am not overconfident." The councilwoman said she couldn't feel that "they have good sufficient reason for recall." "If we get out 50 per cent of voters, it'll be a really big tout," she commented.

Bandit Trio Robs Anaheim Station By Orange County News Service Three robbers, one using an eight-inch knife, held up an Anaheim service station early this morning, slugged a 19-year-old attendant, and made off with $63 in cash. Victim of the crime was Sam's Shell Service, 10971 Brookhurst, Anaheim. Attendant Frank K. Rayburn, 1132 E. Sugar, Santa Ana, told sheriff's deputies one of the men stuck the knife in his ribs after asking him for change. The other two suspects stood by during the entire robbery, not saying a word nor physically participating. After getting $63 in bills, the knife-carrying bandit marched the attendant to the office. He report-edly said, "Turn around, feila." As Rayburn turned, the man smashed him in the face with his closed fists, knocking him to the ground. The three men then ran west on Katella and jumped into a late jurisdiction. He said there were 60 ceniles in the year ended the gang era of the 1930s tions of the bank robbery.

(UPI)—The two parachutes designed to return America's first manned satellite to earth are proving their reliability in bomb-drop tests from giant cargo planes at the Naval Parachute Test Station here. Full-size, 63-foot diameter versions of the Project Mercury main 'chute are packed individually on bomb casings filled with lead shot to simulate the approximate one ton weight of the satellite. The bombs are dropped from a Ci19 cargo plane, the 'chute popping from their tails at predetermined altitudes. Spokesmen close to the project said Navy men have made more than 300 jumps here smaller versions of the parachute in tests to determine whether it might be adapted for use in men.

It resembles conventional chutes, but its nylon cloth is in concentric rings leaving zonal slits to help stabilize 'chute and lower its shock. AYS CONFAB West Denies Seat For East Germany GENEVA (UPI) — A Soviet demand that East Germany be seated as a full member of the Foreign Ministers Conference delayed the conference start by two and a half hours today. Russia withdrew the demand in the face of stonewall western opposition. FBI Asks Crackdown On 'Brutal' Juveniles WASHINGTON (UPI) — FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover has asked the courts and local communities to use "sterner measures" on "savage . . . brutal" juvenile delinquents contributing to the rapidly rising crime rate. He also requested from a House appropriations subcommittee money to hire 50 new agents "for the purpose of strengthening our investigative efforts in the security and criminal fields." He noted an upsurge in bank robberies, one of the crimes under FBI jurisdiction. He said there were 631 bank robberies, burglaries and larcenies in the year ended June 30, 1958. He said that "not since the gang era of the 1930s" had there been more than 600 violations of the bank robbery act in a 12-month period. Hoover told the subcommittee that preliminary estimates indicated the number of serious crimes in 1958 was 11 per cent higher than the previous record of 2,796,400 set in 1957. He said youths under 18 accounted for almost half the arrests. "As tragic as the spiraling crime wave is," Hoover said, "more serious is the terrifying pace of youthful lawlessness accompanying it." He called for an end of the practice of keeping secret the names and otherwise giving special treatment for juveniles accused of serious crimes. The meeting now was scheduled to open at 10 a.m. p.d.t. It was agreed that both East and West German delegations would be admitted as "advisers." They will sit at two small tables close to the big one at which the U. S., British, French and Soviet foreign ministers themselves will be seated. The agreement was worked out at a meeting today between the western foreign ministers and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. They met at the villa of British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd. Thus, the parley called to deal with the problems of Berlin and Germany started off with an initial western victory. Gromyko started the wrangle Sunday when he announced the demand that East Germany be admitted as a full and equal member of the conference.

Unemployment Shows Drop During April WASHINGTON (UPI)— Unemployment fell by 735,000 in April to 3,627,000, the lowest level since December, 1957, the government reported today. The number of persons working limbed to a record April high of 65,012,000. Brisk hiring in construction and manufacturing and a seasonal basis up in farm work lifted the April employment total by 1,185,000 from March. Both changes were twice as good as was expected on a seasonal basis. They dropped the proportion of the labor force out of work from 5.8 per cent in March to 5.3 per cent in April. The Commerce and Labor departments said in a joint report the job recovery accelerated in April" and the favorable development that two thirds of the unemployment bulge attributed to the business recession was wiped out. Average factory earnings rose 63 cents from March. This gave factory workers $9.87 a week in April. Seymour Wolfbein, the Labor Department chief job expert, noted as "a most encouraging sign" that 450,000 of the unemployment drop included married men with families—"a critical sector where it really counts." The unemployment total was down 1,100,000 from December, indicating that after a sluggish winter the job picture brightened markedly in the spring, the report said. But unemployment was still more than 900,000 higher than in April, 1957, when the jobless rate was only 4.0 per cent. A year ago, at the bottom of the recession the rate was 7.5 per cent and unemployment totaled 5,120,000. Steel Bargaining Sessions Opened NEW YORK (UPI)—Eight men went down to brass tacks bargaining for a new steel industry labor contract today with 50 days between them and a threatened ippling strike. David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers of America, said he would seek to wages and other benefits, and appropriate revisions in our pensions" and seniority agreements. R.

Thus, the parley called to deal with the problems of Berlin and Germany started off with an initial western victory. Gromyko started the wrangle Sunday when he announced the demand that East Germany be admitted as a full and equal member of the conference. West Rejects Demand The West promptly rejected the demand, maintaining its positions that it would be willing for East and West Germany to have "advisers" present in the conference room of the Palais des Nations. The West does not recognize East Germany as a legitimate regime and has shown no inclination of being pressured into recognition here. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Maurice Cogve de Murville held emergency talks. Then they sent Lloyd off to try to change Gromyko's mind. He got nowhere. Lloyd saw Gromyko again and gave him two hours to reconsider. The deadline passed without a break. After Lloyd presented Gromyko with the West's final "no" on the East German representation question, the four foreign ministers attended a formal lunch given by the Swiss government. Following the lunch, the four gathered at Lloyd's villa for more informal talks. It was during this period that Gromyko gave its and agreement was reached to get the conference under way. "Complete Agreement" Gromyko himself announced after this meeting that "complete agreement" had been reached. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Berding, acting as chief U.S. delegation spokesman to the press, confirmed the agreement. He said the two German delegations would have the right to speak, something to which the West had objected earlier. The Soviet demand Sunday that East Germany be seated at the conference table for a time threatened to blow up the conference before it could begin. The Western powers flatly warned Gromyko that Russia was endangering the foreign ministers' talks and blocking the road to a summit conference. U.S. officials in Washington have let it be known there would be no summit talks unless the foreign ministers make progress. High American officials said they expected the Russians to back down sooner or later but Sessions Opened NEW YORK (UPI)—Eight men down to brass tacks bargaining for a new steel industry labor contract today with 50 days between them and a threatened stripping strike. David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers of America, said he would seek to take "practical measures for unemployment security" the first order of business in talks with the four-man negotiating team representing the big three of the steel industry — U.S. Steel, Bethlehem and Republic. McDonald said that security could be achieved, in the union's new, by "a balanced program of producing hours, increasing purchasing power by improving wages and other benefits, and appropriate revisions in our pensions" and seniority agreements. R. Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of U.S. Steel, heading the industry team which represents the three big steel firms and, indirectly, nine other major steel producers, enters the talks with a mandate from all 12 companies to resist any demand for wage increases. In the face of this apparent deadlock, the weekly publication Steel Magazine said today that manufacturers' attempts to build steel inventories against the threatened strike are not progressing as rapidly as had been hoped. ANNED "MOON" 'Chutes' Pass First Test An 300-jumps here wearing smaller versions of the parachute tests to determine whether it might be adapted for use by airmen. The Radioplane Division of Orthrop Aircraft is making the landing system for the Mercury satellite under subcontract to McConnell Aircraft. William H. Freeman, supervisor of Radioplane Escape and Survival Projects, said the big 'chute is one of the ringall type. It resembles conventional parachutes, but its nylon cloth is sewn concentric rings leaving horizontal slits to help stabilize the chute and lower its opening rock. A six-foot drogue parachute, which will open before the main one to keep the mashed capsule from tumbling as it hurries down from orbit, also is undergoing bomb-drop tests here. It is designed to open when the capsule—its outside insulation burned off by re-entering the atmosphere—has fallen to 68,000 feet. The main chute will open at 10,000 feet. The radioplane landing equipment is designed to double as an escape system during the first few critical moments of the satellite's blast from earth. The bottles-shaped capsule will ride atop an Atlas missile like a nose cone. "The astronaut will be sitting on several tons of dynamite, and any one of several thousand things could go wrong," spokesmen said. "We must be able to yank the entire satellite from the missile at any time during the first 2,500 feet of blastoff — perhaps even before the missile leaves the pad." In such an escape, rockets fixed atop the satellite would pull it from the Atlas like a cork from a bottle and carry it high enough for the main 'chute to work. Tests simulating the planned Atlantic ocean recovery of the satellite will start soon at the Saltort Sea, an inland sea about 25 miles north of here. Cargo planes will drop a full-size Mercury satellites in tests of the main 'chute and recovery aids.
