Mighty Volcano Eruption Recalled WORLD By BRUCE BIOSSAT Newspaper Enterprise. Assn. WASHINGTON t XEA ' The dusty, deep red sunsets of this lung Indian summer, ascribed by scientists to volcanic par ticles in the upper air, have stirred memories of the most shattering natural explosion known to man the eruption in 1883 of the great East Indian volcano Krakatoa. The present rich displays arc said to reflect a tremendous burst last spring from Agung. a volcano on the island of Bali off the eastern tip of Java in Indonesia. Agung thrust up one layer of dust to 50.000 feet and another to 130.000. In a month or so, say the experts, they will be gone. But Krakatoa's incredible side effects lasted from one to throe years and led to one of the most exhaustive scientific in quiries of a volcanic explosion ever undertaken.

He particularly cri ticized the appearance of bur lesque theaters. "You've got to admit they're usually pretty horrible looking," he said. "People won't go into such places. The night clubs are taking over." Lloyd blamed theater mana gers for "not putting some of the money back in tlie bus iness." Stripper Diana Hunter. 22. of Dallas agreed.

"Twelve years ago there were 13 bur lesque theaters in New York City. Now, they're all gone." There are an estimated 2.500 strippers bumping and grinding across the United States, and according to Pepper, Diana, Bubbles and Jlarilyn, most of them lead lonely lives. They all agreed they got into tlie business because of tlie gla mour and good pay. The gla mour, they said, has worn thin, but the $150 per week minimum remains enticing. "I w as a sec retary for a brokerage firm in Dallas," Pepper said, "and 1 couldn't support myself and two children on the pay. That's why 1 went into burlesque." As long as the sparse crowds buy enough $1.90 tickets to see nearly nude girls gyrate on the dusty, old follies stage, mana ger Perlslein said, there w ill be jobs for four or five strippers each week in Kansas City. "Burlesque isn't like it used lo be. what with no vaudeville acts or chorus lines, but we're still the poor man's musical comedy," Lloyd concluded.

The Soviet propagandists "toured" Honduras, Colombia, Ecuador Venezuela, Haiti, Costa Rica and Nicaragua and said they found prctly much the same thing in each country. The Latin American politi cians. Krokodil added, are sell ing out their native countries to North American companies to "belter their bank accounts." And with Washington's protec tion, it said, the republics "change governments like one changes gloves." As the Soviet propagandists see it, Latin America is an area where the republics are really U.S.- supported police states; where politicians and presidents are really U.S. -supported police states; where poli ticians and presidents arc really Washington's hirelings; and where "economic concessions" to U.S. capitalists arc manda tory if the regimes in office are In survive. strait, the narrow waters be tween Java and Sumatra. Kra katoa in the tropical summer of 1883 appeared as only a 1 o w, jagged crater with a few small cones. Once it had towered symmetrically like Fujiyama, but ancient eruptions had gut ted it. Thereafter it had slumbered so long that rumblings early in 1883 were shrugged off. Sud denly it was loo late. On Aug. 2 and 27, Krakatoa shook the globe with the most violent, shuddering convulsion ever re corded. A truly titantic volcano, it vir tually blew itself out of exis tence, wiping out two thirds of its uninhabited island, cleaving a mountain in two vertically, reverberating over nearly a thirteenth of the earth's sur face. Krakatoa fired volcanic dust nine miles high, cast a pall of blackness 300 miles wide, churned up sea waves 50 feci high that engulfed 36,000 peo ple in hundreds of villages, sent the crashing sounds 2.200 miles eastward and 3,000 miles west across the Indian Ocean the farthest man has ever heard sound. A few hours after the two-day calamity began, all Java and most of Sumatra could hear the continuous detonations and feel the concussion of tlie blasts. Ships caught slogging through Sunda strait hud a scat at what must have seemed the earth's final spasm. Weird electrical ef fects pierced the blackness ov erhead. Molten lava and chunks of spongelike pumice, some as big as pumpkins, showered dow n on decks. Scorching dust ignited sail canvas. The air was choking and sulphurous. The explosions gradually lore away the volcano's throat, let ting tlie sea tumble into the crater through gaping holes. Massive columns of hissing steam rose lo mingle with the volcano's own brew. Gianl waves rolled against the shores of Java and Suma tra. Towns vanished. Two light houses toppled into the sea. A naval craft was propelled two miles inland on Sumatra. On the morning of the 27th four tremendous blasts rocked I he entire East Indies. T h e British scientists who studied Krakatoa believe they were the most thunderous sounds ever heard by human ears. Somewhere in all this cres cendo of endless noise, sounds made Uicir way 3,000 miles over the broad Indian Ocean. A pro lice chief on Rodriguez, easl of Madagascar off the African coast, heard not one but many detonations. Eastward, they were heard in Australia, the Philippines, Ja pan. Borneo natives fled a vil lage in fear of attack from "big guns." On another distant isle, troops were put under arms. Vessels searched f o r "ships in distress." Destructive sea waves fanned over huge distances. Westward, where immediate land barriers were few, rollers raced 3110 miles an hour to affect tidal gauges as far as Cape Horn. South America, 9.500 miles from Sunda straight. In many ocean ships twisted at anchor. Buoys were seen "spinning like tops." "Shock" air waves girdled the globe four times. Windows were shattered and plaster cracked in buildings far from the scene. No barometer any where failed lo record Kraka toa's impact. The volcano in two days spewed out an immense mass of debris. This falling mass en larged two nearby islands, cre ated two new ones. But where the original island had stood, only a fragment remained. The sea rolled 900 feet deep over the major portion. Sunda strait was clogged with floating pumice, some bearing uprooted trees. Ships for days could not slice through it. This great carpet drifted into the Indian Ocean, where vessels en countered It in 100 - mile - long stretches for more than a year afterward. On an area of l.t million square miles, volcanic dust set tled for a week. The finer dust particles circled the earth on upper air currents, as they do now with the dust from Bali's Agung volcano.

Compiles Case Ilinlorlrt Pare is the only one working with addicts. He grew his beard ("to overcome that middle-class barrier"! and works to help the addicts indirectly by compiling case histories about them, let ting professional workers do the job of effecting a cure. Dr. Iinnie McDonald, Bill's siqiervisnr at Harlem Hospital, explained: "Though he's n o t medically trained, he's certain ly able to bring a great deal of useful information to us the kind that comes directly from observing the addicted persons in their daily life and talking to them about the things that are of concern lo them." Pare and other members of tlie first, mostly Negro, group lo work in Harlem began their on President Kennedy. The phrase expressed his philosophy that major problems should be attacked boldly not avoided even if a solution was not always possible to acliicve. The same spirit animated Ar- field work in March. Their pay $2 a day with $75 held In escrow until their year's con tract is up comes from a non-profit group called Commu nity Teams, Inc., which to date has received about $475,000 from Federal and city sources. Husky Ernest Brooks, a 21-year-old new enrpsman from Austin, Tex., in his first day on the job teacliing children defi cient in reading skills, said that, like many of the other domestic corpsmen, he was at one time interested in the overseas Peace Corps. "But I couldn't see going overseas when conditions here in tlie United States arc so grave. There arc areas In our own country which need so much help." Harlem contains great areas of slums. Squalid, matchbox tenements line tlie streets. All varieties of social Ills crime, dope addiction, Illegitimacy plague the area and the ratio of unemployment ranges from two to five times the average of New York City as a whole. "To know one black ghetto is lo know another Chicago's South Side, Rcale Street In Memphis." said Livingston Win gate, an attorney who is the di rector of the Harlem project. "What we're dung here," he said, "is attacking the crucial areas unemployment, educa tion, housing, health and wel fare "The Peace Corps concept will become nationwide even tually, for all underprivileged groups.

Goldberg, labor lawyer, during his many years as a ne gotiator for the Steelworkers" union nnd major adviser to the AFL-C10 in its crisis over un- . ion corruption in 1957. . , Many observers believe they detect the same "activist" un- , der the black robes that Su preme Court Justice Goldberg now wears during his second year on the bench. Even though he Is the junior justice, he wrote several major . opinions for the high court's majority during his first term. He is one of the most active members of the court in ques tioning attorneys during oral arguments. And he stayed in Washington most of the past summer when other justices were vacationing, and acted in many matters that required at tention during the long recess. Almost invariubly, Goldberg disqualifies himself from cases involving labor - management conflict. He said upon his ap pointment to the high tribunal that he would consult his fellow justices if he ever had any doubts on this score. His first-term decisions have placed him in the category de scribed by court observers as "liberal," and he was the swing-man on several 5-4 deci sions. In these cases he usual ly was allied with other "liber als" Chief Justice Earl War ren. Justices Hugo L. Black, ' William O. Douglas and Wil liam J. Brendan Jr. Like many Supreme Court jurists, Goldberg deplores this type of classification system on the grounds that no justice can be so precisely pigeonholed. Goldberg's decisions disclose strong interests in civil rights, administration of justice, due process and the so - called scarch-and-scizurc issues. Ho spoke for the majority in a prodding-typc opinion that de clared "all deliberate speed" in the 1954 school desegregation cases did not mean that a snail's pace was justified in 19ii3.

The $300,000 struclurc, located beneath an apple orchard, houses the accounting operations of the Industrial National Bank of Rhode Island. The center is designed to re sist atomic blast, hurricanes, tor nadoes and external explosions.

Tlie site was selected after a thorough study of possible nu clear targets in the stele and an analysis of the various yields ot the most likely nuclear weapon to be used.
