Workers searched the ruins of a veterans hospital where the bodies of 27 patients and employes had been found. They. said 13 persons still are missing, In all, authorities tallied 46 deaths, nine by heart attack. More than 1,000 persons were injured. Fears of a rupture in the cracked dam of the city's largest reservoir eased as the water level fell, due to draining. The 80,000 persons evacuated from the area were not allowed to return but officials said only'a powerful new shock could " cause trouble. Conference Treaty 'su (Continued from Page 1) tions on college campuses. Thus, many of the people who at- tended the conference desired to discuss ways to tailor implemen- tation of the treaty to the needs of their own particular region. In this context, by the time the May Day proposal was considered Sunday afternoon, many of the conference delegates had already Those leaving generally said they were leaving only because if they r stayed longer they would be late getting home and not because they were angry or disgusted with the conference. However, it is significant that so many people apparently considered May Day inconsequential enough to leave it to discussion among, only those who favored it. Ec~athy The people who attended the S meetings though the conference was worthwhile because it gave them the opportunity to discuss the treaty with other interested people from around the country. They said the success of regional organizing around the treaty would. ultimately determine whether May Day would be anything more than a "one shot" proposal. Despite this attitude, there was le court- still considerable interest in May Day. There were 700 people at the Indiana May Day caucus and about 1,000 hed and people attended the final portion ding, but of Sunday's plenary where the May inutes.

Many of the caucuses and meet- ings seemed almost to be pervaded by the need to accomplish anything concrete, regardless of its ulti- mate value. However, much of the disunity manifested at the conference was generated simply because the con- ference was a body of organizeis from diverse areas and with dif- fering politics, trying to cope with a situation which was lesa than ideal. Whether the attempt to revive the peace movement as empha- sized by the student-youth confer- ence last weekend, will achieve the harmony of purpose it needs to succeed, however, will not really become evident until it expands from simply a movement of or- ganizers to a genuine movement of the people.

Louis Belcher, Republican can- didate for mayor, said last night, "I think that the best judge of any employe's ability is his super- visor. . . In view of Mr. Hunter's past escapades at school board meetings, any other city employe would have been fired." Ezra Rowry, chairman of the Model Cities policy board, called, the firing of Hunter "one of the most racist and overt acts of dis- crimination ever recalled in City Hall. . . It was racist primarily because (City Administrator Guy) Laredm cannot stand a black man; with guts, integrity and real social principles." '1 Councilman Robert Faber (D- 2nd Ward) said last night that this was "absolutely not a political firing inspired by City Hall." He called Slaughter "a capable man," speculating that "evidently Mr. Slaughter and Mr. Hunter did not get along well." Vice President Spiro Agnew, sent, here for consultations and an in- spection tour after President Nix- on declared California a disaster area, arrived via helicopter to look at hard-hit areas with Gov. Ron- ald Reagan and Mayor Sam Yorty. Attention centered on the Veter- ans Administration hospital at Sylmar in the west end of the San Fernando Valley just 10 miles from the quake's center. Some 250 workmen probed the steel and con- crete rubble of two collapsed three-story ward buildings. Well over 100 patients and em- ployes were inside when the 6:01 a.m. tremor shook the 45-year-old structure apart. Scores were in- jured and additional scores trap- ped. For nearly 24 hours moans and cries came from victims trap- ped alive. Many injured were ex- tricated and flown by helicopter to other hospitals. Authorities said there was little chance of additional survivors. Aftershocks by the hundreds emanated from the region of the quake's center in the San Gabriel Mountains 26 miles northwest. A dozen or more fairly strongj ones kept the area jiggling yes- terday but caused no new dam- age. Magnitudes of the stronger shocks were around 5 on the Rich- ter scale, compared with 6.6 for the first. 4 All ages protest the war TryM Invasion proteste, on college cam pu~ I I of i March protestmig Laos actions draws 4,000 (Continued from Page 1) were arrested and several injuries, both of demonstrators and police, were reported. At the University of Wisconsin there was a rally drawing 1,500 protesters. From the rally, the demonstrators went to the Social Science Bldg. and occupied it. Ten people were arrested, but last night students were reported- ly still in the building. On the Boston Commons, about 4,000 demonstrators g a t h e r e d peacefully and listened to speech- es. From the Commons, the crowd marched to Copley Square, dwin- dling to about 1,000 as they con-; tinued on to Northeastern Uni- versity. At Northeastern, a Harvard Crimson reporter said, windows of a ROTC truck were smashed and riot police came. There may have. been a few arrests, he said. Between 150-200 students en- tered and shut down Stanford University's co puter center, charging it was doing war-related research. In Washington, 2,000-2,500 pro- testers from college and anti-war groups in the area marched on the White House. In New York City about 2,500 persons gathered at Times Square to protest the war and then, marched on to Rockefeller Center, several blocks away. No trouble was reported. At the University of Washing- ton 1,500 people rallied for an hour and a half. At Ohio State Univer- sity a rally and march were held attracting 50-60 people. About 200 people gathered on the New Haven Green at Yale and then marched by military recruiting stations, shouting anti-war slogans. About 1,000 people including many veterans rallied at the Uni- versity of New Mexico and 500 protesters marched from the Uni- versity of Minnesota to thi house.

NIGHTS 'TIL 9:00 (Continued frorh Page 1) A permit was granted to the marchers by the city Tuesday, authorizing them to walk along the right side of the street along the route to City Hall. The participants assembled at the Diag at about 4:30 p.m. and heard an organizer of the march U.S. troops enter Laos (Continued from Page 1) taken," said a spokesman. "They are operating only on the Vietnam side of the border." Meanwhile, in Cambodia, the drive by 10,000 South Vietnamese troops with full TU.S. air support continued, as the allied forces clashed at four points with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. In Phnom Penh, a battle raged all night around Cambodian navy headquarters on the Mekong River, but details were unavailable be- cause Cambodian sailors openeda fire at newsmen who tried to ap- proach. None was reported in- jured. Naval guards said they were acting on orders from the base commander. Both the Cambodian and Laos drives are directed at cutting off the Ho Chi Minh trail, the route used by the North Vietnamese to transport troops and supplies into South Vietnam. The landing force of 1,500 U.S. Marines was armed with artillery and tanks and placed off South Vietnam's northern coast on ships of the American 7th Fleet. While their reported reason for deployment was to counter a pos- sible North Vietnamese thrust in retaliation for the Laos incursion, there was speculation that the landing force was linked to Ky's announcement of a possible inva- sion of North Vietnam. The U.S. Command said it would have no comment. urge them not to commit any violence during the demonstration. Amidst a multitude of flags and banners, they began walking north on State St., the size of the crowd growing 'as the march moved along. Although the crowd consisted mainly of students, Mayor Robert Harris and several City Council- men also took part in the march. Other participants included some University professors and people from the Ann Arbor community. The marchers, filling the street, turned west on Liberty St. as traf- fic on side streets was blocked off by policemen. The march contin- ued north on Main St., and turned on to Ann St. from where the marchers entered the City Hall parking lot. Marchers climbed to the balcony of City Hall, and unrolled banners criticizing U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. An organizer of the event told the crowd that the march was a dem- onstration of solidarity with the Vietnamese people. Barbara Fuller, coordinator of the Interfaith Council for Peace, in- formed the crowd that a telegram will be sent to President Nixon, Senators Philip Hart and Robert Griffin, and Congressman Marvin Esch late tomorrow. She said the telegram expresses "outrage" at the "widening of the war under the guise of withdrawal," and de- mands immediate, total withdrawal of all American forces in Southeast Asia. The demonstrators then agreed to meet in the Union Ballroom at 7 p.m. to organize further action. In a wide-ranging discussion, the meeting last night debated political philosophy as well as specific pro- posals for action. At one point there were over 21 proposals on the floor for consider- ation. Many participants left thel meeting at that time, expressing dismay at the confusion. Make UA( Relevant-APPLY!
