LOS ANGELES (A*) — Deaths
om Southern California’s shat-
jring earthquake appeared likely
rise above 60 Thursday and
iamage was estimated unoffi-
:ially at $1 billion or more.
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

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.

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.”

He said that soon an American
helicopter came in to pick up
some American bodies. 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

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.
