"Why slowly'.'" aaked the Iricnd. "So as not to cause panic," an swers the other. This joke reflects the somber attitude which many Russians aro taking toward thermonuclear war. And in recent weeks tliey have received strong warnings from 'Premier Nikita Khrushchev and the Soviet press as to what it may be like. for a long time, the press avoided the subject. There were no pamphlets describing what to do. There was no fall-out shelter program as in the United States. Khrushchev put it simply July 20 when he said: "Won't the liv ing envy the dead?" He was referring to the whole sale pollution of the atmosphere which a thermonuclear war might cause.) The Sino-S6viet rift has deep ened. Descriptions of the horrors have become more irequent. They arc particularly occasioned by the Chinese advocacy of violent means to overcome capitalism and imperialism. Speaking at a friendship meet ing for visiting Hungarian leader Janos Kadar, July 20. Khrusn- chev ridiculed the idea that a bright new society could be built "on the corpses oi millions anil millions of dead." "By the calculations of experts, about one billion persons would be killed as a result of the very first blow, and the great cities of Eu rope, Asia and North America could be destroyed," he said. The Communist newspaper Pravda a few days later said: "The effects of a thermonuclear war would show on life's progeny, bringing death and disease, and carrying with it a dislormcd growth of humanity. Khrushchev playd on a similar theme in his written message to an international women's confer ence here in June. "The people realize more and more clearly that a new world war, should it break out, will oc different from past wart. "It will mean 'the loss of hun dreds of millions of people, the destruction of the fruits of cre ative efforts of dozens of genera tions. It will Inevitably re duce to ashes very much of what is generally referred to as civilization." :. : 1 0 f3M?" t -mm ( u-1 vd NEW CAMP SPORT Archery proved to be one of the most popular activities at the recently completed 4-H summer camp at Cottonwood Meadows.

Relief Pouriiig'fiih Skoplje growing urgency in the rubble left by one of the worst earth quakes in the country's history. Official sources said tlie heat, disruption of water supplies and the possibility that hundreds ol bodies might still be hidden un dcr mountainous aebris spurred fears of possible contamination. Aleksandar Grlitkov, president of the Macedonian Executive Council, said Monday that 813 bodies had been recovered by Sunday night. But he warned that as many as 700 more might re main. Officials feared the final toll from the earthquake, which struck with deadiy suddenness early Friday, might pass 1.500 dead with ,many thousands more injured. Rescue workers hoped to save any injured still trapped in the ruins of the city, but the chances dwindled with every passing hour.

They had been buned for 70 hours when pulled out. Nikita D-Ga., of the Senate Armed Serv ices Committee, which also sat in on the session, was noncom mittal. Harriman said he discussed with Khrushchev what the Soviets would do in event Red China be comes an important nuclear power. He said Khrushchev told him he did not think that day was near at hand because China lacks the industrial capacity at present and has been getting no techni cal assistance from the Soviet Union since -1900. Khrushchev "didn't appear very concerned," Harriman told news men. Harriman, Fulbrighl and several other senators at the meeting, said they did not think French President Charles de Gaulle's an nounced refusal to sign the pact would have any substantial effect on chances for its ratification. Harriman was said to have been questioned closely about the so-called "withdrawal" clause of the treaty. Park Scene Chanters will entertain during the meeting.

Earthquake Survivor Tells Story NEW YORK ( UPI ) A Boston University sociologist believed to be the first American survivor to return from the earthquake In Skoplje, Yugoslavia, reported him self still shaken by the experience Monday night. Bernard S. Phillips. 32. an as sociate professor of sociology, who lives in LexingtoD. Mass., arrived here on a jet flight from Bel grade. He said he had left Skoplje the afternoon of the quake and did not realize its magnitude un til he read newspaper reports. Phillips said he was sleeping in third-floor room of the five- story Hotel Turist when the earth quake struck shortly after dawn last Friday. '"I was awakened by a tremor which seemed to last IS to 20 seconds." he said. "The building was shaking very badly. I knew right away that it was an earthquake. I was afraid, and I knew that I had to get out as soon as I could. "I threw on my pants over my pajamas, put on my shoes and grabbed some jewelry I bought for my wife. I went down a stair way mobbed with people. Many were yelling and screaming, but there was no pushing or shoving. "Everyone was standing in the middle of the road or in the large, open squares. Everyone feared another quake and the only way to keep away from buildings tumbling all around was to get out in the open. 'There was so much debris in the air you could hardly see any thing at all. It was the most' op pressive sight that I have ever seen in my entire life." Phillips was in Yugoslavia on a two-month research project co sponsored by Boston University and the University of Skoplje, with financial aid from the Ford Foun dation and the State Department.
