Tornadoes hit four states strand hundreds,13 dead
By United Press International
Tornadoes slashed across the Middle West and Upper South Tuesday, claiming a heavy toll in property and lives.
At least 13 persons were killed, more than 100 injured and hundreds left homeless in a furious onslaught of twisters in at least four states.
Hundreds of homes were flattened or damaged. Factories and schools were hit. Trailer houses
were turned into kindling wood and power lines were torn and tangled.
A National Guard unit was called in to help at Wheelerburg, Ohio, where six persons died in the vicious winds.
Six bodies were pulled from the rubble in the southern residential section of Falmouth, Ky. An 83-year-old woman died in her crumpled trailer home at Ripley, Ohio.
A Speaker Series held in conjunction with Greek Week will be conducted at eight Greek houses Wednesday night. The cost-free program will begin approximately at 6:15 p.m. and is not limited to members of fraternities and sororites.

Convict says King killed for bounty
DALTON, Ga.—(UPI)—A prison buddy of James Earl Ray said Tuesday, when Ray heard there was a "million-dollar bounty" on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. he smiled and said, "I'll collect it."
There was no evidence that any such bounty ever existed.
Ray, a 40-year-old fugitive from the Missouri State Prison, is accused by the FBI of assassinating King in Memphis April 4.
In the Dalton jail, Raymond Curtis, 40, awaiting appeal on a murder sentence, said he has known Ray in the Kansas City jail, in federal prison at Leavenworth, and in the state prison at Jefferson City, Mo.
He described Ray as likeable, addicted to "dope," a "loner" and a man concerned only with money.
In 1963, Curtis said, he and Ray were in a prison exercise yard

when "a new man just in off the street" told them a businessmen's association has a million dollar bounty out for Martin Luther King."
Curtis recalled that Ray smiled and said, "If there's a million dollars out for King, I believe if I ever get out, I'll collect it."
In Atlanta, it was learned Tuesday that the FBI had investigated reports that Ray, masquerading as Eric Starvo Galt, met two women in a hotel the weekend after the slaying.
The FBI impounded three water glasses from the Briarcliff Hotel the week King was buried.
