California coast yesterday morn- ing, cracking plaster, shattering windows, starting several fires and inflicting property damage. The structural damage, mainly to older buildings, was heaviest in Oxnard, a coastal city of 70,000 persons, 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Estimates by the State Office of Emergency Preparedness placed damage there at up to $1 million, mostly in cracked walls, broken windows and collapsed roofs. Several minor injuries were re- ported. California Institute of Technolo- gy seismologists measured the in- tensity of the quake at roughly 5.75 on the Richter scale, and said it was centered in the ocean off Pt. Mugu, near Oxnard. Jolting sleeping residents at 6:46 a.m. and lasting about 20 seconds, the quake recalled the 6.5 tremb- Hormone synthesis automated WASHINGTON 0P1)} - First auto- mated production of a pure syn- thetic hormone was reported yes- ferday by two University of Cali- fornia researchers. They said the achievement had important implications for future medical treatment and research. The hormone artificially produc- ed by the rapid machine - like method is "adrenocorticotropin" or "ACTH". One of the body's vital natural chemicals' ACTH is pro- duced by the pituitary gland but stimulates the activity of the adre- nal glands. In a report in the Jour- nal of the American Chemical So- ciety the researchers said the way now appears open to using the fast automatic method to reproduce in completely pure and active condi- tion a variety of other giant natur- al proteins of potential importance in medical therapy and research. An American Chemical Society summary of the new development said: "Now molecules can be made in the space of a few weeks or' months that previously might have taken a good portion of a life- time." The scientists announcing the achievement were Doctors Choh Hao Li and Donald Yamashiro bothr of U.C.'s hormone research labora- tory at San Francisco. Li said the achievement was made possible by applying new re- finements to the automated method called the "solid phase" tech- nique which was invented by Dr. Bruce Merrifield of Rockefeller University. At present extracts of ACTH from pig and sheep pituitary glands are sometimes used to treat severe rheumatic allergies and cer- tain other disorders. "It felt like the end of the j world," said Richard Rodriquez,E 32, manager of a Mayfair market: in Oxnard, who estimated damage at $10,000. He said it felt stronger} than the 1971 quake. Outside of Oxnard and the rest of southern Ventura County, resi- dents reported mostly falling plas- ter and broken dishes, along with tattered nerves. Residents from Santa Barbara on the north and San Diego to the south said they felt the jolt, and shocks were noticed as far inland I "The deeper we get into this thing, the more damage we're finding," said Oxnard police Lt. Max Ipson. Three rock slides were reported in Ventura County and one block- ed all lanes of the Pacific Coast Highway for a time but the way was open to traffice again by 8:30 a. m. The quake occurred along the Malibu coastal fault, reported the state Division of Mines and Geolo- gy. Even though it apparently was centered close to the shoreline, authorities at the Naval Air Missile Test Center in nearby Pt. Mugu said there were no signs of high wave action. TONIGHT Lost Showing as San Bernardino. "Oh, Lord, did I claimed admitting Squrrell at Ventura feel it," ex- clerk Sarah County Hos- pital in Ventura. "It just rolled. It was terrible. It seemed to last a long time." "It was like a slap in the face," exclaimed one housewife. Many storefront windows were shattered in downtown Oxnard and roofs collapsed at two stores, one in Oxnard, the other in Camarillo, about 10 miles inland. Oxnard fire officials said fires broke out at two homes, both quickly extinguished. Southern California Edison said 13 of its circuits in the Oxnard-Ca- marillo area were disrupted by the quake, cutting off electrical power to at least 7,000 homes and business firms. fli ~V4W4t& F-Wosd please f id 4ioo CCe Kc r Mron~ey or'der ap able to KA hjQnerwcn) -or one.
