Demolition Order
Given in Devastated
Earthquake Area
Aeadir. 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.
