Nazis, grlme-stresked and grim, dug Into the ruins of the explosion-shattered munitions works today to bring out the bodies of the dead. var- lously estimated to number from 02 to 1000. Survivors of the devastating blasts, msny of them suffering from shock and possessing only the clothes on their backs, streamed from the town on orders that It be evacuated. Flames followed the explosions late yesterday and added to the destruc tion. A rigid censorship, enforced by po lice rifles, was thrown about Relns dorf. a huge munitions center and therefore an Integral part of Ger many's rearmament program. Nulls Admit S2 Dead. Nazi officials said there were Oil dead, with 75 seriously Injured and 300 less seriously hurt. But unof' flclal estimates placed the number killed up to 1000. The burgomaster told the Asso ciated Press: "I think an estimate of 2000 killed Is too many, but 1000 would be more accurate." A witness to the terrifying scenes, he described It as "a hell of heat and explosions." The shock was felt over an area estimated at 078 squsre miles. All forces of the nsJtl government were aiding In the task of rescue and rehabilitation. Firemen, police, storm troopers and workers attempted to get at some 30 bodies reported to be lying In the midst of ashes where a factory stood yesterday.

Many of them had bandaged needs and hands. Rnhntnge Disclaimed. Otto Heldenrelth. nasi district lesder, speaking for the government. said: "ft Is out of the question for any act or sabotage to have been com mltted. It was a regrettable acci dent. Our workers have been most carefully sifted, so It waa (impossible for any saboteur to have been ad mitted." Smoke lay over the entire region and minor exploslona continued for seven hours after the original blast. Offlclala aald Relnsdorf waa saved from complete destruction because ine ractory was some distance from most buildings. Roofs were torn off ana windows were smashed. Tlie burgomaster called It "the greatost catastrophe In central Ger many's history." "There were many eeenea that rent my heart," ha said. "Mothers and children crying and WTlnglng their hands and screaming to be let into me inferno to try to rescue some loved one. "They were turned back, of course, for to go In would have meant their Instant death. ... I witnessed many scenes of heroism. Among the last j icave tno town were the telephone operators. They stuck to their poets as long as there was any need of summoning nelp. Then they left also." Devastated Quetta Feels Quake Again KARACHI, India, June 14.
