A house collapsed on an Illinois family, and a Wisconsin woman and her son were blown out of their home. March appeared determined Wednesday to leave the way it came in — spawning; tornadoes in Wisconsin and Illinois, fierce thunderstorms in Minnesota and Indiana and shattering win dows and closing bridges in wind-whipped northern Cali fornia. “I’ve lived in the East Bay for more than 20 years and I’ve nev er seen anything like this,” said Bob Schinauer, production manager at Svenhard’s Swedish Bakery in Oakland, Calif. More freak storms that dumped up to 5 feet of snow in the western mountains were in the forecast. A tornado ripped through southern Illinois, damaging 20 homes and trailers, and at least three twisters skipped across central and southern Wisconsin in the midst of powerful thun derstorms that dumped hail and torrential rains Tuesday. Police in Ina, Ill., said Gene Kidd, in his 30s; his wife Nancy, 30; son Bradley, 4, and daugh ter Becky, 12, were injured when their house collapsed on them in a tornado. Mrs. Kidd was in critical condition with head injuries. Marcia Polkowksi, 33, and her son, Chad, 4, were sleeping on the second floor of their frame home in Armenia, Wis., “when they were blown out of the building,” witness Roland Huebner said. Both were in stable condition. “I saw parts of the house flying through the air. Two un occupied trailer homes nearby were picked up and dropped ab out 60 to 70 yards away,” Hueb ner said. Court orders killer jailed United Press International . LOS ANGELES —Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, whose conviction for murdering his wife and two daughters was reinstated by the Supreme Court, was arrested by FBI agents Wednesday morning. FBI Special Agent John Hoos said MacDonald had been arrested at his home in Hunting- ton Beach and was being trans ported to the federal courthouse in Los Angeles, where he was to be turned over to U.S. marshals. In a 6-3 decision, the Sup reme Court Wednesday struck down a ruling that had found McDonald was denied his right to a speedy trial because five years had lapsed between the time of his arrest by the Army in 1970 and his indictment by a federal grand jury in 1975. Hoos said he was not sure whether MacDonald would appear before a federal judge, or immediately be transferred back to the federal prison at Terminal Island. MacDonald, who has been practicing medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital in Long Beach since a circuit court freed him last year has steadfastly maintained his innocence through the long years of court battles. The former Green Beret cap tain claimed drug-crazed hip pies burst into his Fayetteville, N.C., home and stabbed his family to death in the early morning hours of Feb. 17,1970. MacDonald sustained stab wounds, including one that col lapsed his right lung. Quirks in the news United Press International STANFORD, Calif. — A com puterized joke collection con taining dirty, racist and sexist humor has been removed from Stanford’s computer system. The collection of more than 13,000 jokes in categories rang ing from “clean” to “sick” was purged from the system after an administrator complained about them. The jokes were used to help train computer users how to op erate the university’s computers. “There were jokes in there to offend just about everybody,” admitted project manager John Sack. “Hindsight makes us won der why we didn’t clean it out a long time ago.” Other files in the system con tain recipes and wine reviews and they will be used to train young computer experts, Sack said, but he admitted the joke file had been the most popular. Three Northern Illinois Uni versity students at DeKalb re ceived minor cuts when strong winds blew out a sixth floor win dow at Grant Towers South resi dence hall. A faculty member also sustained minor cuts when a window of her car was blown out. Winds gusting to 100 mph shook southern Minnesota, top pling small sheds and knocking out electrical power, but no in juries were reported. Seventy mph winds whistled across northwest Nebraska and western South Dakota, spewing rain and snow across the Dako tas. The winds and heavy snow snapped electric power poles and lines in the western half of South Dakota, causing wide spread power outages. The 600 residents of Faith, S.D., were left in the dark when a combination of winds and wet, he&vy snow snapped nine poles leading to the city’s power sub station. “I’ve asked all residents con serve on water because we can’t pump any more in,” Faith Mayor Lavonne Butler said. “We have a certain amount in the tower, but if the tower should go empty, we are out of water.” Spring storms swooped through the north and central sections of Indiana, dumping almost an inch of rain and pro ducing high winds that de molished a barn and downed utility lines near Lafayette and Frankfort. Cherry growers in the Sierra foothills and California’s San Joaquin Valley feared damage from hail and cold rain, but said it would be about a week before an assessment could be made. United Press International LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. — A jammed stabiliz er in the tail of the lead aircraft caused four Thunderbird pilots to crash almost simultaneously into the desert during a practice session Jan. 18, the Air Force said Wednesday. Gen. Wilbur Creech, com mander of the Tactical Air Com mand at Langley Air Force Base, told a news conference that the Thunderbirds will continue to fly, but will use newer F-16 fight er jets instead of older, smaller T-38 Talon training planes. “The Thunderbirds are a valuable asset to the Air Force and Department of Defense,” Creech said. “They more than pay for their cost in recruiting and retention, but it is time for a change (in aircraft).” In the January accident, a small instrument in the rear of the lead T-38 jammed and made it impossible for the pilot, Maj. Norman Lowry III, 37, of Rad ford, Va., to pull out of the loop at the proper time, Creech said. The three pilots, trained to mirror their leader, followed Lowry into a fiery crash in the desert 40 miles north of Las Vegas. “Their job is to fly in close formation and keep their atten tion fixed on the leader,” Creech said. “They were looking over their shoulders at him as they were coming out of the loop.” The Thunderbirds, an air de monstration team formed in 1953, are considered among the elite of pilots of high-speed, high-performance aircraft. The Navy also has a similar team, the Blue Angels. Creech said the cause of the accident was determined after a two-month Air Force investiga- Oil, nuclear reforms forecast for energy United Press International WASHINGTON — Former nuclear regulators formed a group Tuesday to make recom mendations to Congress and the government for reform of the nuclear power plant licensing process, which they said was cumbersome. United Press International NEW YORK — The OPEC oil cartel will disappear this decade as new producers flood the mar ket with crude oil and gain price control, an energy specialist said Tuesday. United Press International LONDON — Major oil com panies trading with Nigeria are seeking crude oil price cuts although the companies denied purchase reductions from the West African country, oil indus^ try sources said Tuesday. United Press International WASHINGTON — A Treas ury Department official urged Tuesday that Congress reject a plea by independent oil refiners for tax breaks similar to those enjoyed by farmer cooperatives.
