Thousands of persons whose wmes were harmed by Tuesday’s jmblor or who were evacuated Erom the area of a leaking reser voir dam either camped out in the unseasonably warm weather >r stayed at Red Cross centers in schools. The total of known dead reached 55. Thirty-five bodies had been found in the ruins of collapsed buildings at a veterans hospital, where three patients and five nurses still were missing and feared dead. In the hard-hit San Fernando Valley, closest populous area to the shock’s center, an estimated 3,000 persons slept on cots or mats at seven evacuation centers at high schools or junior highs. No classes were held. Others, in communities like San Fernando and Sylmar where walls DON’S SALVAGE CENTER SAVE ON THESE ITEMS and MORE • FURNITURE • GROCERIES • FABRICS • GIFTS • AUTO ACCESSORIES WE BUY and SELL ACROSS FROM THE COLLEGE STATION WATER TOWER RITY 1TH ^ ROMANTIC ADVICE for the finest selection of valentine cards shop MANOR EAST SHOPPING MALL of homes were cracked and utili ties were out in some districts, slept under the stars or in back yard tents. Temperatures were in the high 80s during the day, dipping into the high 50s at night. Eighty thousand people were ordered out of a 20-square-mile area below Van Norman Lakes dam, the city’s largest reservoir. The quake shattered the concrete facing, and portions of the wall of compressed earth that retains the water cracked. Officials, fearing strong after-shocks might cause a flood, said evacuees could not return until Friday afternoon when emergency draining would lower water to a safe level. City and county officials con tinued an assessment of damage to public and private facilities, with many yet to be inspected. With preliminary tallies already past the $300 million mark, the county engineer’s office said the ultimate total likely would be $1 billion or more. With a four-day weekend holi day coming up, California High way Patrol officials predicted a “horrendous” traffic jam around the west end of the San Fernando Valley where freeways and other roads to some mountain and desert recreation regions were closed due to crumpling of paving and collapse of bridges. There have been daily com muter traffic jams, as autos are diverted to surface streets, many of them damaged too. Friday is Lincoln’s Birthday and Monday is being observed as Washington’s Birthday. Workers continued hunting bodies in the rubble of two col lapsed buildings at the 45-year- old Veterans Administration Hos pital at Sylmar. Well over 100 patients and hospital employees were inside when the walls fell out and the roof fell in. It was the third day of efforts to clear away twisted girders and huge concrete chunks that plunged and interlocked. The Red Cross estimated that 7,000 persons had used its food and rest facilities at the seven schools, with 3,000 overnighting. Families hastily evacuated from the area of the dam were issued passes to go back in for 45 min utes to retrieve needed personal gear, such as clothing.

Malon Souther land of the Commandant’s Office American soldiers seen with Vietnamese in Laos NEW YORK OP) — ABC Radio reported Thursday that a dead American soldier wearing a South Vietnamese uniform had been evacuated from inside Laos. Both ABC and CBS networks carried reports that American ground troops were taking part in the invasion, some in South Vietnamese uniforms. In Washington, Pentagon spokesmen continued to deny that any American ground combat troops are involved. White House press secretary Roland L. Ziegler said that “our policy is and will continue to be that there will be no U.S. combat troops or advisors in Laos.” ABC newsman Howard Tuck- ner reported he had seen what appeared to be an American bath ing with two South Vietnamese soldiers 25 miles inside Laos. South Vietnamese riding with Tuckner said the man was a “GI adviser.” “When we tried to jump off WANT AD RATES 0 ne day per word vord each additional day BATTALION CLASSIFIED 4(1 per Min C iimum lassifi arg fied Display 75c $1.00 per column inch each insertion DEADLINE 4 p.m. day before publication SPECIAL NOTICE Hoover’s Tennis Service, Open 1 :30 to 6:30 p. m. 332 Jersey Street. 846-9733. 74tfn “No Woman Need Ever Look 40!” For a Beauty Show or Private Facial Call: Jonnie Patranella 822-4396 (after 5:00 p. m.)

He said the pilot, who was on the ground for 30 minutes, told him he was waiting to pick up the bodies of four helicopter crewmen who were shot down. The South Vietnamese unex pectedly brought a fifth American body, wearing the uniform of the South Vietnamese airborne troops, Tuckner reported. CBS Radio news reported that U.S. helicopters flying South Vi etnamese troops into Laos some times carry American Special Forces officers, some in South Vietnamese uniforms. Scientists ready for moon rocks SPACE CENTER, Houston <^P) —Scientists prepared the Lunar Receiving Laboratory here Thurs day for the arrival of the Apollo 14 astronauts and the scientifical ly precious rocks they brought from the moon. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., Stuart A. Roosa Rnd Edgar D. Mitchell arrive here early Fri day, completing a trip by sea and air from the South Pacific where they splashed down from space Tuesday. Twelve persons, who will han dle the housekeeping chores, are already quarantined in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory — LRL — awaiting the astronauts. The spacemen will be in isolation there until Feb. 26. Scientists working the sample examination section of the LRL were prepared to start process ing a load of rocks planned to arrive about 4 p.m. EST at Elling ton Air Force Base near the Manned Spacecraft Center. This shipment was flown from the prime recovery ship, the USS New Orleans, on Wednesday. Scientists said the first ship ment is thought to weigh between nine and 12 pounds and will in clude four core tubes taken from beneath the moon’s surfaces, a few rocks and a quantity of ma terial taken from an 18-inch trench dug on the moon. Most of the 95 pounds of moon rock gathered by the astronauts will arrive at the laboratory next week, officials said. The astronauts began their iso lation in a Mobile Quarantine Facility—MQF—aboard the New Orleans shortly after their splashdown. They flew from the ship to Pago Pago on Thursday, shielded in isolation garments and face masks during the short helicopter ride. At Pago Pago they boarded a MQF secured in an Air Force C141 jet transport for the non stop flight to Ellington. Quarantine for the trio was designed to prevent the spread to other earth creatures of any germs they may have brought back from the moon. No germs were found on the astronauts or moon rocks from the Apollo 11 and 12 missions. URGENT Pictures will be made at the University Studio.
