Waco, Texas—(U.P.)—Tornado alerts were issued today for a second time in a wide section of Texas as rescue workers recovered at least 66 bodies in wreckage left by tornadoes which hit Waco and San Angelo late yesterday.
Forty-four bodies were recovered here and eight at San Angelo, Texas, 190 miles to the west. At least 250 persons were injured in the Waco tornado, first ever to hit the central Texas city, and 79 in San Angelo, a total of 329.
Midwestern Red Cross headquarters in St. Louis said its field workers on the scene in Waco were "sticking by" an estimate of 67 dead. It placed the injured here at 375 and 125 injured at San Angelo.
Tornado warnings were issued yesterday a few hours before the first storm hit San Angelo in West Texas about 3 p.m. At 4:30 p.m., a tornado hit downtown Waco, a city of 100,000 population.
It was feared that Waco's death toll would be considerably higher than the number of bodies definitely accounted for by rescue workers.
The U.S. weather bureau issued two additional tornado warnings today, the latest covering an area bounded by Tyler, Lufkin, Yoakum, Del Rio-Eagle Pass, and Junction, Texas, during the remainder of todday and early tonight.
At San Angelo, national guardsmen were on duty throughout the night. It was raining there early today, hampering rescue work. A torrential rain and heavy hail fell after yesterday's tornado.
The Red Cross also listed 198 homes destroyed at San Angelo and 164 damaged. It said 100 homes were destroyed or damaged at Waco.

COMPLETE SUCCESS—Workmen prepare the way for a new sidewalk from Oread hall to the Student Union. Previously Oread residents had to either go around by the stadium or plow through mud. After the Kansan ran a picture of the mud hole, gravel was placed on several of the worst spots.

Henderson's name was submitted at the last Council meeting. It required approval by two-thirds of the House. The actual vote was 8-0 in favor of accepting him as chairman.

Churchill Receives Labor's Support
London—(U.P.)—Winston Churchill won the support today of the British Labor party, his chief opposition, in his call for a conference of world leaders on East-West issues.
But Clement R. Attlee, the Labor party's leader, warned that President Eisenhower should come to any such meeting armed with full authority so he would not be repudiated later by Congress.
Opening the second day of a two-day full-dress House of Commons debate on foreign affairs, Mr. Attlee called for closer personal relations between British and Soviet leaders to help allay Soviet suspicions of the West.
Mr. Attlee said there was lack of integration between the Eisenhower administration and Congress and that speeches of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles diverged from those of the President.
He warned that unless President Eisenhower entered any international conference armed with full authority, he might be repudiated as was Woodrow Wilson in the commitments he made at the Versailles peace conference after World War I.
Sorority to Hold Recital at 8 Today

The company, in a letter to Jay W. Oliver, pharmacy senior and chairman of the ProLepKo drive, quoted special prices for shipping the drug and said that it would cooperate "to the best of our ability to assist" in the undertaking.
Promin, a drug which arrests the spread of the dreaded disease, is supplied in small hermetically-sealed glass vessels of two and five grams each, as well as in 100 c.c. rubber-capped-vials containing 40 grams of Promin each.
The company said that it could not specify what amount of Promin would be available to the students at this time because the funds for purchase were indefinite.
"Many of the church groups," he said, "have agreed to provide ice cream and cake for the social."
Meanwhile, Oliver reported today that the benefit ice cream social has been pledged more support from Lawrence churches.
The ice cream social is to begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Lawrence's Clinton park. It will be the culmination of activities of the pharmacy students in this drive.
Letters from Gene Stucky, a 1950 graduate of the School of Pharmacy, prompted the drive. Stucky, a lieutenant with the Army Medical Service corps in Pusan, Korea, mentioned the plight of the lepers in a camp about 20 miles from Pusan.
The student members of the American Pharmaceutical association voted unanimously to raise funds for Promin. An ice cream social was decided upon because the students found they could not solicit funds on campus because of possible interference with the Campus Chest drive.
MU Raiders Fail As Faculty Guards
Columbia, Mo. —(U.P.)— Members of a frustrated "panty raid" group returned to classes at the University of Missouri today and quiet was reported on all fronts.
Five cars of city police and seven Missouri state highway patrol cruisers figured importantly in dulling the enthusiasm of some 200 university men last night in the vicinity of Stephens College for women.
About a year ago, an estimated 3,000 men raided Stephens, Christian College for Women, university women's residence halls, and sorority houses. Damage was estimated at $15,000.
Last night's dud raid had been
walled in walls and sidewalks,
for three weeks.
For the past week, dean of students Jack Matthews had conferred with university men, warning them against starting a new raid.
But the men found Stephens rooms blacked out. Stephens faculty members were posted on the campus, and police roamed the streets.
Hundreds of students and townspeople drove through the Stephens campus waiting for something to happen. Nothing did.
