Torrential rains fell in west Tennessee and eastern Arkansas. Creeks wore out of banks in some sections and the rising White and Black Rivers in Arkansas threat- ened ovcrfiolvs.

Pathetic Spectacle

But it was Rndessa which today presented a. peculiarly pathetic spectacle of desolation. Tile heavy rain made the entire section a foot-deep mud puddle. Wreckage was strewn along o. path 200 yards wide and o. mile and a half long.

Armed National Guardsmen moved about. to keep back sight- secrs. A detachment of'_ state po- lice aided them. cilcf workers were busy on all si es. The force of the tornado was terrific. huge boiler, its sides almost an inch thick, was bent. and twisted. v
