Riotous End for Mardi Gras Fete
NEW ORLEANS — (UPI) — Police shot one reveler to death and wounded three others last night in a violent end to a sodden Mardi Gras.
Grasz Police also arrested a woman who bared herself to the waist and danced on a French quarter balcony while hundreds of spectators egged her on.
Mardi Gras traditionally ends at midnight, and many celebrants jammed City Auditorium for the closing ceremonies. But some revelers ignored the clock and continued their merrymaking well into the morning of this first day of Lent, Ash, Wednesday.
Officers said they fatally shot John McCall, 23, after he wheeled on them with a gun in his hand. He had been chasing another man, they reported.

No Warning in St. Louis Twister
ST. LOUIS — (UPI) — St. Louis residents were not warned of a tornado that took more than 20 lives because "there was no warning to give," according to meteorologist C. M. Caswell.
"We just plain don't know enough," Caswell said, "and it happened so suddenly and so close to St. Louis there wasn't enough time to give a warning."
Caswell, who is stationed at the U. S. Weather Bureau at Lambert St. Louis airport, said today the twister "just sprang up."
"The first we heard of the tornado came from St. Louis police who called to tell us of the damage." Caswell said.
It was believed the twister got its start in southwest St. Louis County.
The tornado occurred at 2:15 a.m. yesterday. Reports of the tornado did not reach the weather bureau until a short time later.
Under a severe weather warning service, the weather bureau first alerts police of the impending danger, and then releases its warning. Radio stations cooperating with the service then are notified of the warning through an arrangement used in the Conelrad Defense Warning System, although the stations each maintain their own wave lengths and do not switch to one frequency.
