Small cities begin figuring cost of broken windows, fallen bricks
UPLAND, Calif. (AP) — Small cities counted
the cost of broken windows and fallen bricks as
dozens of aftershocks continued to rattle the re
gion Thursday, the day after a strong earthquake
jolted much of Southern California.
The town of Pomona alone suffered at least
$20 million in damages, officials said.
Safety inspectors in Los Angeles and neigh
boring San Bernardino counties, which nestle
against the San Gabriel and San Bernardino
mountains, began checking gas and water lines
along with older, unreinforced brick and ma
sonry buildings.
Wednesday’s 3:43 p.m. quake measured 5.5 on
the Richter scale and was centered three miles
northwest of Upland, 40 miles east of Los An
geles.
It was the most serious trembler to hit Califor
nia since October’s magnitude-7.1 quake in the
San Francisco Bay area, which killed 67 people
and sparked fears of the massive earthquake pre
dicted for the state in coming years.
Dozens of aftershocks continued to shake
Southern California on Thursday, with the day’s
strongest, magnitude 3.0, at 12:55 p.m.
“We just had a nice little aftershock,” Clare
mont Assistant City Manager Bridget Distelrath
said. “We just get big eyes. They’re very short,
they don’t last long enough to get under a table.”
Immediately after Wednesday’s jolt, there was
a 5 percent chance of a larger quake within thret
days, based on historical statistics, seismologis
Lucile Jones of the U.S. Geological Survey inPs
sadena said. But she said that by Thursday, tk
probability had dropped to 2 percent or 3 pci
cent.
Injuries from the quake appeared tobeminoi
Cuts, bruises and a few broken bones were tk
chief complaints, officials said.

American-made tanks utilized
by Aoun’s militia in Lebanon
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Gen.
Michel Aoun’s tanks pierced the de
fenses of the rival Christian militia in
savage fighting Thursday in east
Beirut as the showdown entered its
second month.
Police said at least 14 people were
killed and 50 wounded in assaults by
Aoun’s American-made M-48 tanks
against the urban lines of Samir Gea-
gea’s Lebanese Forces militia.
By police count, the fight for con
trol of the SlO-square-mile Christian
enclave has killed 708 people and
wounded 1,984 since it broke out
Jan. 30.
A police spokesman reported mi
nor progress by Aoun’s tanks, which
advanced over nine hours across the
open terrain to the edge of the ur
ban area of Nabaa, a pocket held by
the Lebanese Forces.
The advance shattered a 12-day
lull that followed a cease-fire called
by a neutral mediation committee.
“The tanks are ait the entrances to
the narrow alleys” of the densely

populated low-income district, the
spokesman said.
He said it would be “extremely
dangerous” to push the tanks into
the slum-like district, where they
would be easy targets for Geagea’s
experienced street fighters using ar
mor-piercing rocket-propelled gre
nade launchers.
The advance stopped at 2 p.m. af
ter the captain commanding the at
tack was killed, but the two sides
maintained a fierce exchange of
howitzer and mortar shells at the
rate of about 40 rounds a minute,
said the spokesman, who spoke on
condition of anonymity.
He said Aoun’s tanks had failed to
advance along the slopes of Ashra-
fiyeh, the militia’s second stronghold
in east Beirut.
A dozen fires blazed out of con
trol in Ashrafiyeh and Nabaa.
Smoke billowed from the districts,
and the fire department said its en
gines were not able to leave their un
derground basement centers to com
bat the blaze due to the intensity of
the clashes.
Fire burns restaurant in Cairo hotel
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Fire broke out in a luxury ho
tel’s tent restaurant early Thursday, and wind-whipped
flames leaped to the main building, killing 16 people
and injuring about 70. At least one American was
among the dead.
Frantic guests at the six-story Heliopolis Sheraton
jumped out windows and clambered down bedsheets
that were tied together. Many of the injuries were bro
ken bones suffered in falls.
U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Marcelle Wahba said
one American was killed, but she refused to release any
information on the victim. Three Americans were se
riously injured, police Brig. Abdel-Rehim el-Kenawy
said.
The blaze broke out at 1 a.m. and burned for nine
hours. By early afternoon, after the last flames had
been put out and the smoke extinguished, guests were
returning to retrieve belongings. As people carried
soggy luggage out of the ruined building, rescue teams
were seen carrying out at least four bodies.
The hotel northeast of Cairo had no fire alarms or
sprinklers, and many guests heard of the fire from
other guests.
Tourism Minister Fuad Sultan said the blaze started
accidentally in the Nubian Tent restaurant — a cotton
canvas tent attached to one of the three blocks of the T-
shaped hotel. The head of Cairo’s fire brigade, Maj.
Gen. Adel Nigm, said such tents are fire hazards and
the Sheraton put it up without consulting the fire de
partment.
Sparks jumped from a clay oven to the ceiling of the
tent, igniting flames that quickly spread to the hotel
Sultan said.
Senate, Bush
compromise
on pollution
WASHINGTON (APj-So?
ate leaders and President Bml!
compromised Thursday on fu
ture air pollution controls forau
tomobiles. factories and electric
power plants, enhancing chance
that a clean air bill will pass this
year.
The agreement, after mort
than three weeks of closed-doot
negotiations, was viewed as a mid
dle ground likely to attracs
enough support to thwart contin
uing regional opposition in the
looming Seriate debate.
Majority Leader George Mitch
ell, D-Maine, called the compro
mise a "sound and comprehen
sive” agreement that will}
substantially improve air quality
over the next decade. He planned |’
to bring the legislation to the Sen
ate floor on Monday.
“President Bush is extraordi i
narily pleased with the[
agreement,” Roger Porter, the
president’s chief domestic polio
adviser, said. “It is a milestone,an
enormous step forward.’’
Porter said the administration:
would attempt to expedite Senate
passage and seek a similar
agreement in the House, where
clean-air legislation remains in
committee. J
But the compromise is si
likely to encounter stiff industn
lobbying, largely because of its es
timated $20 billion to $40 billion
annual cost to the economy.
Some senators also have ex
pressed concern that the bargain
ing weakened provisions in the
original Senate hill that would
have required stronger auto
mobile emission controls. ■ |

Soldiers desert from Sandinista forces
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Young sol
diers have begun to desert from the Sandinista
armed forces as the deadline nears for President
Daniel Ortega to step down from office, draftees
and draftees’ relatives said Thursday.
Ortega was defeated in Sunday’s election by
Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, who has promised
to abolish the draft after she is inaugurated on
April 25. Some deserters are apparently plan
ning to hide out until that happens.
Her office announced meanwhile Thursday
that the president-elect will send a special mission
to the United States next week to seek economic
aid for Nicaragua, ravaged through the years by
economic mismanagement and U.S.-imposed
sanctions.
It said Francisco Mayofga, 41, who has done
postgraduate work at Yale, will head the mission.
Mayorga has often been mentioned as possible
minister of economy after Chamorro takes office
for a six-year term.
“It will be an exploratory mission to have an
initial picture of what’s needed, which we will
combine with offers for aid already arriving from
Western Europe and Latin American countries,”
Mayorga told reporters.
He said his team will visit Washington and
New York for talks with World Bank, Inter-
American Development Bank and International
Monetary Fund officials.
Although the leftist Sandinistas agreed to give
up power to Chamorro and her United National
Opposition alliance, they have presented tough
demands as transition teams meet to discuss
terms.
The Sandinistas want the economic structuH
they set up left alone; UNO wants to decentrafe
the economy, privatize state enterprises and fref*
the marketplace.
The Sandinistas also want the military strut
ture left intact, especially if the U.S.-supporteil
Contra guerrillas don’t disband; UNO wants tel
depoliticize the military and reduce its size.
Both sides want the Contras to disband imme i
diately, but Contra leaders say not until Mn I
Chamorro is inaugurated.
Ortega has insisted on keeping the draft I
where soldiers get leftist political indoctrination |
alongside military training. Mrs. Chamorros
wants “children to go back to school’.’
