Poet e. e. cummmgs, 67, Dies in New North Conway, N.H. -fllPD- c. e. cummlngs, the Bohemian poet whose calculated disre gard for punctuation gave his lyrics a language all their own, died here today at the age of 67. cummlngs was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage at his summer home in nearby Madison late Sunday and was brought to Memorial hospital here where he died at 1:25 a.m. (EDT). A resident of New York's Greenwich Village, the storied mccca for poets and artists, for the past three decades, he had spent his summers on the hillside New Hampshire resi dence since the age of two. Emmineni Colleagues cummlngs belonged to the first rank of modern Ameri can poets. In the same class with such eminent colleagues as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and Robert Frost. His explosive lyrics, which he began publishing 40 years ago, were often written in re bellion and protest of what he considered the dreary conven tions of modern society. But as disruptive and un settling as the content of his poems was, it was the style Death Toll Said 10,000; May Go Over 20,000 Mark Iranian Officials Inspect the Scene Tehran - IUPII - A saddened and weeping prime minister Assadollah Alam inspected sections of Iran's earthquake area today and was informed that the death toll had passed 10,000 and might go higher than 20,000. Officials with his party said after he returned from the six hour, 200 mile trip into the devastated area that he was told: "Many more than 10,000 have died. Maybe 20,000, may be more." Staggered By Destruction Alam and his aides were staggered by the amount of destruction caused by the se ries of tremors which first struck a 13,600 square miles area Saturday night. "This is a very bad situation. We can only beg God to help us in this calamity," the prem ier said back in the capital. Reports from outlying areas said whole villages in the stricken area were destroyed. At one point on his tour - in a village near Ghazvin - Alam buried his head in his hands and wept openly. Everywhere the party went they saw mounds of crumbled and broken mud bricks that had once been the homes of villagers. Continue To Climb Dr. Hossein Khatibi, head of the Red Lion and Sun So ciety - Iran's Red Cross -said there were strong fears that the toll would continue to climb because of the inaccess ibility of some of the stricken mountainous areas. The quake area lies to the west and southwest of this cap ital of 2 million inhabitants. Tehranis felt the first shocks Saturday night but there were no injuries nor reports of property damage In the city. . All of the small villages around Ahzvin, which Is 80 miles west of Tehran, were In shambles. The young prime minister's party was met everywhere by weeping, bewildered peasants. In the village of Boeen, southeast of Ghazvin, there was not one mud-brick house standing. Everywhere, troops and civ ilian volunteer rescue work ers dug through the rubble in the hope of finding some vil lagers still living. Apartment Building Collapses in Cairo Cairo -IUPD- An unfinished five-story apartment building collapsed today, burying scores of construction work ers.

Trie building was part of a popular housing project at Alkanater Alkhayria, which lies about 13 miles north of Cairo on the eastern bank of the Nile delta. Hampshire and punctuation he developed that brought cummlngs recog nition as one of the 20th Cen tury's most unorthodox poets. At a casual glance, his poems looked as If they were written by an undisciplined child making a first, feeble effort of handling the mystery of language. Seemintly Chaotic Words jammed together, one-word sentences, nouns used as verbs and verbs trans formed into adjectives in a seemingly chaotic mumble Jumble. And almost always the absolute lack of capital letters. But on closer examination, a purpose would be pieced to gether out of the apparent dis order. cummlngs, a small, wiry proud man, never regarded his style as eccentric although that was how it was often labeled by critics. When asked about his life long crusade against the ex cessive use of capital letters, he once said with sound logic: "I capitalize words only when they are Important." It la Interesting to note he never regarded his own name as Important and always spelled it with small letters.
