Storms slice tlru Midwest

By UNITED Press International
Scattered tornadoes and a "bizarre" near-blizzard
pummeled the South and Midwest yesterday, the
violent remnant of twisters and winds that crashed
through a triangle of more than a dozen states from
Ohio to Georgia and Texas, killing at least 32 people
and injuring hundreds of others.
Volatile thunderstorms spawned more than 70 tor-
nadoes late Friday and early yesterday from the
Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee and Ohio
valleys.
NEAR BLIZZARD conditions were reported
throughout western Michigan.

Probably the hardest hit area was Muskegon Coun-
ty, where strong winds blew in off of Lake Michigan,
knocking down power lines and leaving as many as
10,000 residents in the dark.
The Grand Rapids area was under a blizzard war-
ning yesterday afternoon and evening, as forecasters
predicted windy and cold conditions. Weather of-
ficials said the west Michigan area would receive up
to three inches of additional snow last night and wind
gusts of up to 60 miles per hour.
BUT WEATHER service officials said the threat of
flooding was minimal, as temperatures were expec-
ted fall below the freezing mark last night.

The deadliest storms in nearly 1% decades raked a
six-county area in Arkansas, killing 13 people, in-
cluding a family of five in Hope as they huddled under
a mattress.
Damge in Arkansas was estimated at $8 million.
RESCUERS SEARCHED for more bodies in a 1,200
-foot by 4-mile swath of destruction in Paris, a nor-
theast Texas city of 25,000, where 10 people were con-
firmed dead and more than 200 others injured.
A dozen skiers, including six members of the
University of California, Berkeley, ski team, repor-
ted missing when they failed to return from a six-day
trek through storm-ravaged Sonora Pass of the High
Sierra "skied out" unharmed yesterday.

New Salvador govt.
is still being formed

DIRECTORS SOUGHT
The University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan
Society seeks a dramatics director, music director,
scenic designer, and costume designer for its fall
1982 production. Shows under consideration are
Gondoliers, Princess Ida, and Sorcerer.

From AP and UPI
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador- The
shape of El Salvador's next gover-
nment will depend on how badly the
rightist majority wants to roll back the
modest reforms instituted by the ruling
junta.
A week after hundreds of thousands
of Salvadorans ventured to the polls
despite continuing civil war closed door
talks are being held to determine
whether the U.S.-backed Christian
Democratic Party will participate in
the next government.
THAT WILL determine what track
can be taken in negotiating with or bat-
tling the leftist rebels who boycotted the
March 28 elections but failed to disrupt
them.
It also will affect the Reagan ad-
ministration's support for the
Salvadoran government in the 2/2-year-
old civil war that has cost more than
33,000 lives.
President Reagan said last week it
would be difficult to support a new
regime that retreats on any of the

reforms instituted over the past two
years by junta President Jose Napoleon
Duarte.
BUT THE first thing the rightist
alliance vowed was to exclude the
Christian Democrats from any gover-
nment unless they dismiss Duarte.
He has offered to step aside if it will
help El Salvador on the road to peace
and economic reconstruction.
The left was severely weakened by
the elections, when 1.5 million
people-more than twice what gover-
nment optimists predicted-ignored the
boycott call and turned out to vote.
UNTIL THEN, no one had known how
successfully the government controlled
Salvadoran territory. Guerrillas roam
through much of the countryside, and
voting was not held in 66 of the nation's
261 municipalities because of the strife.
Many voters said they went to the
polls to avoid possible government
reprisals. But there was an excitement
and good cheer in the long lines of
voters that could not be blamed on in-
timidation.

LA VERKIN, Utah (UPI) - High in-
terest rates have crimped a developer's
plans to- sell fallout-shelter con-
dominiums costing from $26,000 to
$95,000 each, but hard times haven't
campened his enthusiasm for the idea.
Lane Blackmore, head of Survive
Tomorrow Inc., said company plans for
a fallout-shelter community near Zion
National Park have already been ex-
panded to include nationwide
marketing of "modular survival
shells." He said the units-'would, be

similar to condominium-type storage
sheds - but underground.
"We all love recreation and we all
have junk to store," said Blackmore.
"Why not build facilities for recreation
and storage that could be used for sur-
vival in case of nuclear war?"
Blackmore, a building contractor, got
into the survival condo business two
years ago while toying with an idea he
calls "free enterprise, civil defense."
He is convinced that nuclear war can be
survived-4bt it shouldn't be left to the

government.
"The government can't provide per-
sonal security, he said. "It can only
come up with a civil defense plan for
the average person."
All the units are equipped with sur-
vival gear and enough food for a year.
When complete, Blackmore said, the
community will have the latest in air
filtration equipment, an entertainment
center, a jogging track, a medical
clinic, and a militia-type guard force
composed of residents.
