Oklahoma City — A baby girl,
about 4 months old, lay crying in a
crib at the Crippled Children’s hos-

body and face cut and bruised. The
name plate on the head read: “Un-
known. ”
In an adjacent room another girl,
about 3 years old, lay In her bed,
her legs held stalght In the air
by weights on pfulleys so her brok-
en legs would knit properly. Her
parents were also listed as “Un-
known."
Both children were brought to the
hospital from Woodward, victims
of the tornado that sheared away
their homes.
Just when and how the two arriv-
ed here, hospital attendants could
not say. The rush of the rescue
{work prevented getting all the
data.
Most of the 30 patients at Crip-

brought by hospital plane from
Woodward to Tinker Field. Only
the infant and the 3-year-old girl
are still unidentified.
The infant, judged to be from 3
to 5 months old, has a red birth

Statement Is Given
In a statement explaining the
reason for his resignation, Mayor
McGee said;
“There has been a misunderstand-
ing as to the office of tax assessor
and collector and the collector of
revenues from city water and sew-
age. The tax assessor and collector
Is an elective office and the collector
of revenues from city water and
sewage is an appointive office.
"Appointments are made by the
city council. The majority of the
voters of the city of New Boston
voted for Mr. W. O. Case to fill
these offices and the council voted
three to two not to appoint him as
collector of revenues from water
and sewage.
"I believe It was the will of the
people to have Mr. Case fill both
of these offices and since the coun-
cil did not vote to accept this I
deemed it necessary to tender my

to Shreveport has been secured,
and while the U. S. Engineers have
not made a favorable report on the

Several Clarksville People May Have
Lost Lives In Wednesday’s Disaster
Grave apprehension regarding the liver, of several Clarksville people
and relatives of others here was felt as efforts to make contacts or get
information from the disaster-stricken Texas City were tn vain.
At least 50u were known dead and an estimated 3.000 were injured
in the series of explosions which devaluated the Gulf area between
Galveston and Houston. Twenty hours after the French freighter Grand-
camp tilew up and disintegrated, confusion still gripped the srticken
area. Another ship, the High Flyer, loaded with 900 tons of amnion an
nitrate, exploded at 1 a.m. Thursday, touching off a chain of blasts.
The multl-mlllion-dollar Monsan-
to plant was flattened so that an
official of the company said "It

and into the night and large sec-
