Morocco (DPD Crown Prince Moulay Hassan today ordered rescue work to itop in the pestilence-threatened ruins of Agadir and de molition work to begin at once. This meant death to any of the living trapped in the rubble. Rescue teams of many na tions were picking through the ruins in hopes of finding few more living in the dev astated city where 5,000 to 8,000 persons were believed to have met death when an earthquake hit Monday night. The threat of widespread epidemics among the living was so great the Crown Prince ordered the drastic move. Thousands of persons were feared still trapped in the ruins of what had once been a beautiful and thriving re sort city on the southern At lantic Coast of Morocco. An unknown number of tourists were believed still buried. Few Bodies Recovered How many of the trapped were still alive may never be known. Only 808 bodies had been recovered, recorSed and buried. The Crown Prince had hoped to hold off the demoli tion order for at least another day or two, but the rising risk of typhus or plague forc ed his hand. Bulldozers leveled every thing in their path. Medical crews followed, spreading quicklime. The national police head in formed King Mohammed V the death toll may rise to 5,000 or 6,000 - double the estimate of 3,000 fixed Wed nesday by the International Red Cross. Disease could snuff out more of those buried alive. Huge r?ts swarmed through the debris, occasionally brush ing against the American, French and other rescue teams who with men from half a dozen other European nations tunneled cautiously under sagging ruins. Sewers ran open, contaminating even the sickly smell of death. Dead Buried Quickly Hundreds of American servicemen loined Moroccans and other military units in pulling more than 800 dead and 1,500 injured from the Mihhlp bv early today. The dead were buried in huge nnen trenches and quickly The iniured were being flown in a vast rescue operation to hospitals elsewhere in Mo rocco. One of those rescued after three days in the wreckage of a once-luxurious notei was Mrs. Sue Martin, of St. AI vans. W.Va. Her husband, Gerald, an Air Force lieuten ant, and their baby daughter were pulled out of the debris shortly after the earthquake hit Monday night. In spite of his Injuries, he refused to be flown to a hospital until his wife was safe. Thus far, there have been no reports of American fa talities in the quakes, tidal waves and fires that wiped out this former tourist resort on the Atlantic.
