Rescuers rushed to the area on “snowcats” but had to wait until dawn to resume the search for missing because of blizzard conditions and the threat of more avalanches. The first of the avalanches to hit the Alpine Meadows ski re sort — located 2 miles east of Squaw Valley — carried a two- story “A-frame” building into the resort’s lodge, killing at least three people. Officials said there were as many as four avalanches in the Alpine Meadows area Wednes day and another in Squaw Val ley, where 3 to 4 feet of snow has been falling daily since Sunday. Nearby residents were ordered to evacuate their homes and were taken to the Sierra Mountain Intermediate School in nearby Truckee. Sheriff’s de puties, ambulances, fire trucks and California Highway Patrol units were dispatched to the re sort, but some were hampered by smaller avalanches. The avalanche in Squaw Val ley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, buried two houses. e people were rescued unin- ed. AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 3400 S.

Authorities said two people were injured in the avalanches at the resort but the extent of in juries was not known. Webber said one avalanche pushed a two-story equipment storage building into the main lodge of the Alpine Meadows re sort, smashing windows and a portion of the wall. Rescue workers and dogs searched the snow at the 7,000- foot-high resort for survivors but the mission was called off after several hours as the bliz zard became worse and the ava lanche danger increased. “We are moving out our per sonnel because of the danger of other avalanches,” said Sgt. Keven Besana of the Placer County Sheriffs Department. A supervisor at Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee said the facility had been alerted to re ceive as many as 20 victims. Authorities also learned Wednesday night there had been skiers on the slopes and lifts when the avalanches struck. Earlier, it was reported skiing had been canceled for the day at the popular resort because of the bad weather, but mainte nance workers and other em ployees were on the job. “We were told the lodge was closed due to poor road condi tions,” Webber said. “Now we are told people were skiing on hills and were on the lift. We really don’t know what we have now on the number of people who were in the area.” A second slide buried cars in the parking lot of the resort. An avalanche expert advised evacuation of more than 100 re sidents in the area, Webber said. Margy Barrett, manager of River Ranch resort, 2 miles from Alpine Meadows, said a slide at the junction of of the resort’s ac cess road and Highway 89 knocked over a California High way Patrol car. Its occupants apparently were not injured.

Reagan opened his ninth na tionally broadcast news confer ence by inviting Moscow “to join with us now, to substantially re duce nuclear weapons and make an important breakthrough for lasting peace.” The president, remembering “four wars in my lifetime,” said he was determined to push ahead for “realistic arms control agreements.” “I share the determination of today’s young people that such a tragedy, which would be re ndered even more terrible by the monstrous inhumane weapons in the world’s nuclear arsenals, must never happen fczelle, the city of / he nation’s 20th larg Rely a suburb ofL Rozelle, testifying fist trial between nd the Oakland R; fiursday, despite jiles away to their m (range County, the again,” he said. ill Los Angeles’ tea But he did not say he woultf The Raiders’atten agree to a summit meeting \vi:| the Coliseum — Soviet President Leonid Bre/:ie Rams two years nev on the world nuclear cri' locked by the NFL, Deputy press secretary Larr* Rule 4.3 requirin Speakes explained later aiiom 21 of the 28 te such meeting will depend upo® such a move, the international situation eiHUnder questioni isting at the time. |um attorney As expected, the weapjfecher, Rozelle sail control proposal offered lear difference be Sens.
