(AP) -- A tornado spawned by hurricane Carla killed at least five per- sons in this tide-pounded island city today. It injured between 50 and 60. The tornado raised the known death toll to seven as a result of Carla. Much of Galveston still was under watet when the tornado-- some called it a waterspout, a similar weather phenomenon-- struck before dawn. The tornado struck the court- house, where 1,200 refugees hud- dled, and injured many there from flying glass. The main centre of Carla by that time was 20 miles north of Austin, or 170 miles north of the point it hit land Monday after- noon. Winds still were up to 75 miles an hour near the centre, while at Lufkin, halfway across the state in east Texas, gusts of 100 miles an hour were recorded by mid-morning.

Eisenhower amplified: "In March, 1960, we had a little meeting in my office as to whether to go ahead and train these people. We set up a little {was never any more than that." ency has been widely credited, without contradiction with starting to line up the ill-gated invasion as much as a year be- or more twisters in a 120-mile- wide sector centering on a line from Galveston northward across Texas. Wholesale evacuation of dan- ger areas kept casualties from going much. higher. The giant hurricane, battering the coast from Corpus Christi to Morgan City, La., slammed ashore on Matagorda Island Monday to start a destructive push deep into Texas. Weather bureau observers said only a few traces of Car- la's powerful centre remained by the time it reached the Aus- tin area in central Texas about 6 a.m. EDT 'WARN OF FLOODS Winds of 50 to 70 miles an hour persisted, however, in squalls near the vanishing storm centre. Forecasters warned of possi- ble flood threats from five- to eight-inch rains expected as remnants of the hurricane pushed on toward the northwest through Texas and into south- ern Oklahoma by late tonight. Responsible sources, who said they could only guess at the statewide toll so far, meanwhile advanced tentative estimates of crop and property losses well over $200,000,000 in Texas. There were two known deaths from Carla and the tornadoes she hatched in Texas and Lou- isiana. While a number of per- sons were injured, a wholesale evacuation of coastal areas ap- parently held casualties to a surprising minimum. In Galveston, the pre-dawn twisters bounded southward from the business district through an area eight blocks wide and 16 blocks long. There was tornado damage in Galveston--much of it still un- der water from hurricane-tossed tides and waves--to the police station, a church and at least a fore the landing. few homes.

He said the Western powers have' destroyed the occupation status of Berlin and any com- plaints were matters for the East German government. Pervukhin also warned '"'seri- ous consequences' would result from continued Western support Reject Protests On Border Seal of anti - Communist '"'provoca- tions" in West Berlin. The rejection letters were de- liverrd as East Berlin police turned on a crowd of 300 East Berliners gather ed near the East-West Berlin border, hurl- ing tear gas bombs into them. In the American sector, police flung two smoke bombs 30 yards past the border, damaging a truck but injuring no one. The East Berliners were dis- persed by Communist police after gathering near the former border crossing point of Invali- denstrasse. A group of about 80 West Ber- liners on the other side of the border started to move toward the boundary wall but were stopped by West Berlin police.
