130 DIE IN QUAKE; 5000 ARE INJURED Thousands of Sailors and Marines Prevent Looting in Area. (Continued From First Page) the actual number of reported dead could be ascertained for the area, ex- cept by the growing partial list of identified dead. found the work of maintaining an offi- cial list of dead shoved to one side in most of the communities. Property damage was estimated at at least $45,000,000, ‘including wreck business buildings and schools, broken utility lines, damaged streets and harbor channels. Bodies were still sought in ruins at Long Beach, which bore the brunt of the quake. To prevent possible vandalism, loot- ing and ghoulish acts, United States sailors and marines from the Battle Fleet at San Pedro, national Guards- men and American Legionnaires joined police in preserving order in the stricken Tegions. Centralized control of emergency measures was invoked when Gov. James Rolph, jr., who flew here today, appointed Col. O. C. Wyman of the California National Guard to head the relief work. R. F. C. Funds Used. Swift action to zalleviate grief, pain and privation was taken when relief au- thorities decided that a portion of the more than $4,000,000 allotted to the State March 3 by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation might be diverted quickly to that end. The application of martial law was deemed unnecessary at Long Beach, and E. S. Dobbins, city manager, was desig- nated to direct the policing of that vi- cinity. The Governcr ordered the con- demnation of all buildings unsafe for occupancy. Long Beach had 68 known dead and reported injuries to 2,500 persons. Compton, a small suburb of Los Ange- les, reported 17 deaths. Huntington Park's death toll was eight, with property damage of $2,500,- 000. Watts had seven deaths and the remainder of the mortality list was di- vided among various sections of the metropolitan_area. Twelve of these deaths were attributed to heart failures from fright induced by the earthquakes. Coroner's officers said fear that each succeeding shock would be worse than the preceding ones finally became powerful enough to kill. For once, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Culver City looked out upon a tragedy not of their own making. Stars and sugers alike of the films rushed from their sets when fright got the upper hand, but there was no appreci- able damage there. Chaos Reigns Four Hours. Four hours, while chaos prevailed, the unrecovered dead had debris for their graves, crumbling, shaky or broken walls for monuments and fog for their shrouds. Then there was 3 lull as the earth quieted somewhat and rescue and Telief operations got under way. The fog lifted and a tense citizenry looked upon the stark picture of devas- tation. Cars were crushed by the hundreds as wreckage showered down upon ga- rages and the streets. Cracks appeared in great buildings. Hundreds of weaker structures collapsed as the earth writhed and heaved with immeasurable force. Plate glass, brick, concrete, tile and plaster were pulverized by the thousands of tons. ‘There were 23 major shocks from 5:55 pm. Friday until ncon today. Even the scientists failed to keep count of the many minor tremors. In such a shaking the populace steered clear of swaying walls. Some refused to rem2in in their hotels downtown. Many slept | in hotel lobbies, ready to run at the| first crack of threatened disaster. Thousands sought safety in the parks of Long Beach. Some of these lined!| up to receive food from relief workers, but others sat silent, without appetite. Virtually all stores there were closed. ‘The cry of “tidal wave” sent about 2,000 Long Beach residents to higher ground last night, but they returned cautiously today, their fears groundless in that Tespect. Three in Plane Killed. Police blocked all incoming motor traffic, but a few ambitious and enxiety ridden persons chartered planes to fly there to learn about their friends and relatives. Airport officials said the visitors came by air from as far away as El Paso, Tex. Three men were killed when their plane, en route to Long Beach, crashed near Compton. Los Angeles, Compton and Hunting- ton Park suffered extensive damage to buildings. The 27-story Los Angeles City Hall, highest building in the met- ropolitan area, had plaster cracks on its walls today and Mayor John C. Porter ordered it closed to visitors. Architects said it apparently had earned the appellation “earthquake- proof.” The old Los Angeles Court House Building was condemned as un- safe and employes and records were taken out. Countless fires harried the people and kept firemen busy. High school build- ings in Huntington Park and Norwalk |the were destroyed. Homes by the score went up in flames, Most of Los Angeles’ steamship docks ‘were damaged. Catalina Island appar- ently suffered no ill effects, although the quake was centered not far from there. Rellef operations assumed gigantic proportions tonight. After touring the stricken area Gov. Rolph called all re- lief agencies into a meeting and ar- rangements were made to put the work under the directions of the naval au- thorities, the Red Cross and other or- ganizations. Bellflower, one of the badly shaken suburbs, reported a water shortage be- cause water mains had been turned off. An appeal to Los Angeles police brought SPECIAL NOTICE! SPECIAL NOTICE.

Recurring Shocks Keep Thousands in State of Panic, LONG BEACH, Calif.,, March 11 (®). —Recurrent earth shocks, many of them so severe they rocked the remain- ing buildings, made Beach a city of fear today as the death toll was officially reported at 68 and the in- jured at approximately 2,500. Crowds wandered the streets aim- lessly, gazing awe-stricken at the tre- mendous damage done to this once beautiful sea-side community. City of- ficials placed the damage conservatively at_$25,000,000. The armory wes converted into a temporary morgue and was thousands of relatives of the dead and missing. There was no martial law, although 4,000 sailors, soldiers and Marines kept the crowds moving and would not allow them on the sidewalks, ikeeping them in the middle of the streets. At least 75 per cent of the build- ings and residences in the city were ed | damaged, possibly 25 per cent of that number beyond repair. Most residents of the city refused to return to their homes as shock after shock, some severe and others less in- tense, rocked the buildings. . /The fire department was kept busy wering alarms in various portions of Spend Night in Open. { Bonfires were kept burning in vacant lots and residents planned to spend a second night in the open, with seemingly no let up in the earth’s convulsions. Although the streets were crowded with thousands of persons, there had been no looting and Chief of Police J. S. Yancey said he anticipated none. A soldier, Marine oc sailor guarded the open buildings every few feet. Anaheim boulevard, one of the main thoroyghfares of the city, suffered the main brunt of the damage. Practically every building on the street was dam- aged in the business area. The larger buildings seem to have withstood the shocks better than the smaller ones, although many of the 13-story buildings were cracked. Until a thorough check of the Pacific Coast Club Building and the city hall could be made, all persons were barred from the structures. Engineers were to inspect the buildings before allowing them to be occupied. Most of those killed in Long Beach were caught by falling masonry or bricks as they rushed from buildings in the business district just as offices and stores were closing last evening. Very few business establishments were open today. The few restaurants which were not damaged seriously did a land office business. There was no evidence of profiteering. All Roads Blockaded. One business enterprise upon which the people depended most for their information, the Long Beach Press- Telegram, operated under difficulties. Its reporters were stationed in Long Beach and their copy sent to Pasadena, 30 miles away, and printed in the plant of the Pasadena Star News, associated in ownership with the Press-Telegram. The newspapers were then brought back to Long Beach and distributed. Hundreds of special police officers blockaded all roads to Long Beach, pre- venting thousands of sightsegrs and others who had no urgent business fn the stricken city from entering. ~ Relief plans were placed into effe when the City Council gave E. S, Dobbin, city manager, blanket power to take| whatever steps he deemed necessaryfor the welfare of life and property. The council announced it would meet twice daily to serve as:an advisory body t0' Dobbin. The Chamber of Commerce - mediately formed a Citizens’ Rehal - tion Committee to meet tomorrow plan a co-operative movement for %I removal of debris and to start recon- struction. “We hope to make this disaster a stepping stone to a more beautiful eity,” said Bruce Mason, president of the Chamber of Commerce Mason announced selection of E. F. MacDonough, consultant employed by the City of Santa Barbara following the devastating earthquake in that city several years ago, to work out a harmonious plan of architecture to re- place damaged buildings. MARTIAL LAW IN COMPTON. Huntington Park, Lynwood and South- gate Stricken. COMPTON, Calif, March 11 (#).— Property damage here from the earth- quake was estimated by police and fire- men today at $12,000,000 to $15,000,000, and 10 per cent of the population of 12,300 is under the care of the Red Cross. The death list is 17 and 20 per- sons are seriously injured. The officials estimated that 99 per cent of the town’s business property is ru%led. Mnnl” lm 1; in effect. e greater of the ulation has abandoned its homes, pol‘}r.lwuxh damage in the residential sections was relatively small. ; ‘The refugees are living in the public square and other vacant places, but are being well cared for by relief agencies, notably the Salvation Army. ‘The town is stricly policed, with aid of Marines from the Battle Fleet at San Pedro and there has been no looting. Officers considered the general morale of the population extremely good under circumstances. Huntington Park Suffers. At Huntington Park a death list of eight, with five persons seriously in- jured and property damage in excess of $2,500,000 was the earthquake toll. The population of 30,000 was well provided for and authorities said the spontaneous relief from all sources has alleviated any possibility of suffering. Practically every business house suf- fered in some degree, although the damage in most cases was not extensive. The city hall and the new Christian Church Building are in such shape that they are considered a-total loss. The property valuation of Huntington Park is $33,000,000. Police said all of the deaths resulted from falling debris in the downtown area. Fire damaged the Huntington Park High School and a tire ware- he ouse. At Lynwood more than $1,000,000 damage, two deaths and seven persons seriously injured was the tell of the e five largest bulldings in town e five lar n There was considerable damage to the smaller stores and loss of merchandise, with practically all the plate glass in stores shattered.~ Police reported relief, sanitation and hospitalization were amply provided and no disorders have occurred. Legion Alds South Gate. At South Gate 8,000 of 20,000 wfll- lation were being cared for by relief agencies under supe: of the Amerln’l;u Legion. One death and 14 serious injuries were reported. Property loss, out of an assessed valu- ation of $12,000,000 for the community, was estimated at $600,000 by Mayor Harold Pomeroy. “PFifteen minutes after the earthquake disaster we had the amazing scene of op | American Leglonnaires taking over complete control of police and reliet,” said Mayor Pomeroy. “That there were no fires and the low casualty list was due to the quick action of the Legionnaires in turning off the main source of electric and gas service. “Most of the store buildings suffered miles; padded vans; guaranteed service: 10- gal, moving also. | Phone Nat, 1800.

Unofficial estimates of damage in nearby towns were: Artesia, $100,000; Garden Grove, $50,000; Buena Park, $45,000; Fullerton, $200. Garden Grove had one casualty.

LOS ANGELES, Calif, March 11 (N.AN.A.).—Several million pereons in Southern California still carry the feel- ing of those who have just finished a long, rough ocean voyage, in the wake of an earthquake that left approxi- mately 200 people dead, 5,000 injured and wreckage strewn up and down the coast. All these millions still carry sea legs from the first shock of the r¢ A n that was followed all long by other tremors which did damage, but gave one the feeling disaster. those who have been in the middle of a real earthquake can realize the weird, strange and startling sensa- tions that accompany a rocking, reeling world beneath your feet. I happened to be working on the fourth floor of a Los Angeles hotel when there came first a far-away rumble, be presaging a This was the start. Floor Like Deck. ‘Two or three seconds later the floor By the seventh or eighth second, that now seemed to be many minutes, there was a strain and cracking as the plas- te! began to fall. You felt that the building was sure to topple right or left within the next few seconds, as cracking noise increased and the sway- ing became extended. ‘There could be no similar sensation can understand the rush of cyclone or a hurricane. There is something physi- cal here to be figured out. But when the land beneath your feet, the terrain that serves as the foundation for every house and home, begins to dip and roll, to slide and rock, the utter and com- plete rush of defenselessness drives the mind into a panic. Millions rushed from homes and their buildings into parks and open spaces. I talked today with Bill Terry, man- ager of the New York Giants. “I was on the tenth floor of my| hotel,” Terry said, “when the building began to rock and sway. It felt just as if some giant, some superhuman power, was pushing it back and forth. I was way over here, then I was way over there, back and forth, back and forth, standing on a massive pendulum. I never want to feel that way again. Marny of the ball players rushed outside into a nearby park and stayed there all night. I stayed up until 3 o'clock.” Einstein Not in Area. | One peculiar feature of the earth-| quake was that Albert Einstein and' Dr. Beno Gutenberg, rated as one of‘ the world’s greatest experts on earth- | quakes, were walking over terrain that remained steadfast. They knew noth-| ing of the shaking world until they saw people running back and_forth. At midnight I joined Bobby Jones and his wife on the fifth floor of a hotel. - Just about this moment a radio| announcer said that the final tremor, was over. He had barely finished this reassuring talk when once the window | began to rattle, the curtains| to move, the room began to shake. Twenty minutes later the same | foreboding episode returned with! another tremor. The giant shake of 1906 which| wrecked San Francisco lasted 43 sec-| onds. The Los Angeles upheaval last ed only 13 seconds, so far as the dam- aging quiver was concerned. Just off shore of this western slope a glant rock or a section of sea bottom had begun to slide and settle. But this was no matter of any few seconds. I felt the first shock shortly as the rocking, reeling, devasting motion moved along at a rate approaching a mile & ute. After a night’s sleep I woke again with the feeling that I was on board a ship. It was then 7 am. I was sure the sensation was merely a sub- conscious return of the night before. And then the windows began to rattle once more and the chairs started to rock, and I knew the same old earth- quake was still operating 13 hours later. Something far below the water line was seeking an adjustment. It was seeking the same adjustment, through nature, that the nations of the world ing along social and eco- ‘This adjustment can never, never be completed without up- setting at least part of the old order, whatever that order may be.

After 32 years along the fronts of sport and war, this was my most thrill- ing experience, After all, we live only for experiences. The rest is monotony.
