The Golden Triangle of aumont-Port Arthur-Orange was derseigefrom noon until late into evening as the funnel clouds lipped down from violent thun- rstorms. Several touched mind. A twister struck Lumberton, just north of Beaumont, about 2:30 p.m., destroying three mobile homes and scattering pieces of one up to five miles away. There were no injuries reported. At Rollover Pass in Gilchirist, on the Upper Bolivar Peninsula southwest of Beaumont, a tornado reportedly scattered three mobile homes, three bait camps and caused roof and window damage to beach cabins. This occurred just before About 6:30 p.m. three funnel clouds were sighted at the Nueces River Crossing of Interstate 10 in Beaumont. In North Texas the Gainesville area was struck by a tornado before daybreak. It badly damaged two airplanes at the municipal airport. Nearby houses, businesses and mobile homes were damaged. The severe weather broke out first in the Panhandle with small hail, and the turbulence quickly spread south and east. In early afternoon, the Civil De fense director for Hamshire, south west of Beaumont, said he was blown off the road by a storm. Beaumont police then began re porting funnel cloud sightings. One was spotted at Silsbee. The thunderstorms also dumped several inches of rain in their paths, causing local flooding. The heaviest fains Monday were at Texarkana and Galveston, which in just six hours got 1.87 and 1.30 inches, respectively. At Atlanta, Tex., 2.7 inches was unofficially re ported in six hours. Meanwhile, a cool front was ushering dryer air into the state from the west. The front extended across Central Texas near a Wichita Falls-Austin line, and fair skies were reported to the west of that line. Before the front brought clear skies, heavy rains caused some street flooding in the vicinity of Midland, Abilene and San Angelo. Afternoon temperatures ranged from the low 60s in the Panhandle to the mid 80s in South Texas. Clearing skies accompany dryer air across North Central Texas. No important changes in temperature were expected. Urban conservation urged at Texas Municipal parley FORT WORTH (AP) — Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles said Monday that if cities are to survive and prosper they must adopt a pol icy of “urban conservation. ” Bradley, speaking at the 62nd an nual conference of the Texas Munic ipal League here, said cities must work to revitalize areas of blight be cause “we can no longer afford to throw away our cities. ” He said urban areas are suffering from serious problems that, when combined, “threaten to strangle the very life of urban centers. ” Cities, Bradley said, can no longer turn their backs on problems and must abandon the tendency to “pick up and move out rather than to revitalize. "The philosophy of simply build ing bigger has to be replaced with one of building better, ” he said. Adding to the problems of the cities, Bradley said, is the lack of confidence citizens have in public officials. He said Watergate had revealed ^Rocm the “ugliest period” of scandal in the country’s history, but also demon strated the “strength and vitality” of government. Watergate has resulted in a stronger Congress more willing to assert itself, he said, but cities “must not just react or wait for con gressional action—we are going to have to be initiators.” Bradley said federal revenue sharing gives cities the opportunity to set their own priorities and de monstrate a capability of dealing with their own problems. The mayor, saying cities “desper ately need’’ revenue sharing, warned the federal program took years for Congress to pass and “we could lose it next year without an effort.” Bradley urged city officials to “get the word to your congressmen” that revenue sharing should be renewed in 1975, adding that in 1972 only two members of the Texas congres sional delegation voted for its origi nal passage. The mayor also said the Com munity Development Act rep resented a challenge to local officials in that it allows local initiation of programs “without bureaurcratic red tape.” The mayor also said the Com munity Development Act repres ents a challenge to local officials in that it allows local initiation of prog rams “without bureaucratic red tape.” He said the act also gives cities the obligation to involve citizens in the spending of the federal funds. Speaking at a news conference after his address, Bradley said fed eral aid programs to cities is proper because “those are our dollars we sent to Washington. ” He said cities “ought to get our fair share back, adding that few cities are now financially capable of providing all the services they should provide without federal help.

RENE CLEMENT'S ANTI-WAR MASTERPIECE s FORBIDDEN GAMES is perhaps the greatest anti-war film since LA GRANDE ILLUSION, yet it does not deal with actual warfare. Two young French children become playmates during the German occupation in 1940 and they imitate the cruel adult life that surrounds them by collecting dead animals for their private cemetery. Winner of the Venice Grand Prize, few films have matched FORBIDDEN GAMES' poignant outcry against the waste of war.
