Waves hit
coast due
to quake
(AP) — Thousands of Pacific Coast
residents fled to higher ground
Wednesday after sirens and louds
peakers warned them of a tidal wave
triggered by earthquakes.
A tsunami warning was posted
from Alaska to California and for
Hawaii and Japan after a major
quake, measuring 7.7 on the Richter
scale, hit undersea near the Aleutian
Islands. Milder aftershocks con
tinued to hit Thursday, said George
Carie, a geophysicist at the Alaska
Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer,
Alaska.
About 21,000 people fled low-
lying areas in Hawaii, Oregon,
Washington, Alaska and British Col
umbia.
Swells were only about 3 feet above
normal in British Columbia.
Waves were 10 feet high in Hawaii,
2 to 3 feet in Washington and 5.8 feet
in Adak on the Aleutians, an 1,100-
mile island chain with 16 scattered
villages. Japan’s Central Meteorolo
gical Agency said a tsunami of 9 in
ches was observed there.

The warning was called off 6 and
one-half hours after the quake
struck.
In Kodiak, Alaska, where police
headquarters and the jail are below
the high-water line, five men serving
sentences for misdemeanor crimes
were set free, and only two had re
turned by Thursday.

“We have their belongings. We
have all their money. And their
clothes. Eventually, they’ll get bored
and come back. Maybe tomorrow,
we’ll get concerned and go out and
bring them back,” said Cpl. Susan
White, a police spokeswoman.
“Tsunami” is Japanese for “great
harbor wave.” Often called tidal
waves, tsunami have nothing to do
with tides, but are generated by ear
thquakes on or below the sea floor.
NEW YORK (AP) — An accidental
spill of cleaning materials last winter
left streaks on the Statue of Liberty’s
face and neck, already blackened by
Manhattan pollution.
The spill sent bicarbonate of soda
solution, used to clean the statue’s in
terior, cascading down her face, said
Blaine Oliver, regional historical
architect for the National Parks Ser-
Most common in the Pacific
Ocean, they can move at 600 miles an
hour, according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis
tration, and gain size rapidly upon
nearing land. Their height upon
striking shore cannot be accurately
predicted.
Wednesday’s most powerful quake
was centered about 100 miles south
east of Adak in the North Pacific, the
USGS said.
Oliver blamed the accident on a
backup in a vacuum system designed
by the contractor to remove excess
cleaning solution while the statue’s
interior was being scrubbed.
He predicted the streaks, caused
when the solution dried on the cop
per skin, will wear away eventually.
He said they probably will still be
visible when President Reagan un
veils the renovated statue July 3 on
nationwide television.
The Statue of Liberty’s skin, about
as thick as a penny, has been exposed
to the elements for a century, and
developed layers of patina that pro
tect the copper base, he said.

Government 'irked' over record sei
WASHINGTON (AP) — Lor $10, the Lederal Record
Service-Birth Records Division promises to get your
newborn infant the Social Security number he or she
needs to comply with a possible new federal law.
The problem, says an irked Social Security Adminis
tration, is that an infant usually doesn’t need a number
since there is no such law, Social Security will do the same
job for free, and, despite the name, the Lederal Record
Service is not a government agency.
The ambitious direct mail campaign by the private
Lederal Record Service has set teeth grinding in Social
Security offices around the country.
In Washington, Social Security has asked the U.S.
Postal Service to examine the company’s mail solicitation
to see if any action can be taken. It has written the
company, asking that “misleading” portionstft
tation be changed. It also has sent alerts toalj
offices, urging them to point up Social Secutti
services.
Social Security spokesman James M. Browti
problem is that the company’s effort apparcntli ’
Despite the boldface letterhead reading “Fd
cord Service” smaller type notes that it isnotaf]
ment agency. And it designates the SlOasani
charge.
Efforts to reach the Lederal Record Service': 1
ment were unsuccessful.
Brown said the company simply asks p
a form similar to Social Security’s and types their
tion onto a Social Security form.
