INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Dan
Quayle won’t let walking pneu
monia knock him off his feet.
The former vice president vis
ited the Indiana University Med
ical Center emergency room
Sunday and got the diagnosis,
said Anne Hathaway, executive
director for Issues 96, a political
action committee headed by
Quayle.
“He wasn’t feeling well and he
knew he’s on the road most of
this week,” Hathaway said. “He
wanted to make sure he was on
top of his health, and he is.”
He’ll take medication and
“plans to keep his full travel
schedule,” she said.
Quayle is preparing for a pos
sible run for the GOP presiden
tial nomination in 1996.
CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S.
Virgin Islands (AP) — While the
rest of America gobbled turkey
and trimmings, Vice President
A1 Gore and his family had an
untraditional Thanksgiving —
under water.
Gore, his wife. Tipper, and
two of their daughters strapped
on scuba gear and splashed in
the
Caribbean
during their
holiday week
end in the
Virgin Is
lands.
Dive oper
ator Chris
Sawyer took
the Gores on
two 20-
minute dives
on shallow
reefs.
Between dives, they chatted
about the history of the islands,
the environment and what
else? — local politics. Sawyer
said Monday.
“It’s something I’ll remember
for a long time,” Sawyer said.
Sawyer, who normally
charges $595 for a half-day dive,
would not say what he charged
the vice president.
The Gores arrived Wednes
day, stayed on St. Thomas and
left Sunday.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) —
Prince and Princess Takamado
of Japan are on an artistic mis
sion.
The first members of Japan’s
royal family to visit Poland were
invited by President Lech Wale
sa to open a Japanese art and
technology center.
The prince, a cousin of Em
peror Akihito, and his wife ar
rived Sunday. They met with
Walesa and other dignitaries on
Monday, then presented 15
grand pianos to the Frederick
Chopin Music Academy in War
saw.
On Tuesday, they are to visit
Krakow, where they are to open
the $5 million art center.
The center was designed by
the Japanese architect Arata

GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (AP) — When a tornado
smashed two dozen homes in this well-to-do Mem
phis suburb, neighbors dived
into the rubble and rescued chil
dren by looking for their hands
sticking up from the wreckage.
There was little for survivors
to do Monday, a day after a half-
dozen twisters tore through
western Tennessee, killing three
people in one Germantown
house and one in a rural area.
The last of the bodies were re
covered early Monday morning.
“We’re just looking for family
pictures and things. That’s
what we came to find. There’s
really not much salvageable
other than pictures,” said
Karen Glaus, whose house was
flattened by the storm.
The twisters were part of a
vast storm system that was still producing rain
and snow across parts of the Northeast on Mon
day. The Tennessee tornado deaths were among
14 fatalities Sunday from North Dakota, where
snow and ice glazed highways, to Georgia, where

dense fog contributed to the crash of a small plane.
The storm stranded or delayed hundreds of
travelers; some of them didn’t re
sume their journeys until Mon
day morning.
The hardest hit area of Ten
nessee was this Memphis suburb,
where three people attending a
family reunion were killed.
Sixteen people — nine chil
dren and seven adults — were
at the get-together when a
house collapsed around them.
Two of the bodies were not
pulled from the wreckage until
early Monday.
Many of the reunion survivors
were pulled to safety by neighbors
who attacked the rubble with
their bare hands.
“I could see children’s hands
sticking up and we just grabbed
them and pulled them out,” said neighbor Steve
Johnston.
Survivors were treated for cuts, abrasions and
a few broken bones, said Police Chief Eddie
Boatwright.
