of medical supplies, clothing, food
anc fuel have been sent to points
where it was most needed.
Tho government has been compell-
ed to refuse all tenders of outside aid
because of the delicate international
situation. Private relief agencies,
however, and these include the Inter-
national Red Cross. are busy aiding.
Word was received today from
Avezzano that the vigil of Count
Restas. former deputy and one of the
best known Italians. had proven sue
cessfuI. Uninjured himself, he found
when the earthquake was over that
his wife and five sons were missing.
The castle was a tremendous heap of
crumbled ruins. The Count refused
to believe that his loved ones all were
dead. The aspect of the ruins. how
ever, led ali others to believe tnat no
one could be alive under them As
there were other places where live
persons could be heard calling for as
sistance, the relief workers refused
to search the Restas castle. Undaunt-
ed, the Count began the work himself'
All day and all night he labored alone
Finally his devotion so appealed to
the major commanding the relief
party that he sent a detail of men to
assist. Today they reached the main
room of the castle and there. uninlur-
ed. but suffering greatly from hunger
and exposure, were found the countess
and her five sons. This has given
rise to the belief that there may still
be others who can be rescued.
In the ruins of the Avezzano jail 10
of the inmates were found dead and
sixteen injured Three only escaped
! unhurt.
Fears for the safety of the ancient
! Monastery of San Benedetto at Subj
AGO we're relieved today when word
was received that the ancient struc-
ture. one of the oldest in Rome, was
only slightly damaged. It is crammed
with art treasures, all of which are
safe. Many persons were injured n
/ Subiaco, but only a few were killed
, Hundreds are dying in Sora Of cold
and hunger still buried In the ruins
Ten thousand persons who escaped
with their lives are camped in oper
fields utterly without protection. Th'
government finds it impossible (

i Many auto loads are part way there
but are held up by the complete de-
struction of roads that will take 9
long time to repair.
Reports received from Antrosan6

OF the population of Cerchio only 40l

the relief workers. Nothing has been
done in the Campania and southern
Abruzzi regions, where narrowing
conditions arc know. to prevail. This
is not due to lack o, effort but be-
cause entire roadsides have disap-
peared and communication is impog
sible although peasant and noble. sol
dior and private citizen are working
side by side desperately striving to
restore the roads so that the relief
automobiles may proceed.
Although the government still was
hopeful today that the death list
would be reduced when complete rec
ords arc possible, il was admitted
this hope was slight The official fig
urcs of dead was still held at 10000
but unofficial compilations added
thousands to the number. The total
OF the sufferers will reach 100000,
many of whom are not only injured,
but have lost everything they had in
the world. Whole families have been
separated by the disaster. In many
instances the parents have been kill

others, only father or a mother sur

In event of O'Connor being the third

has expressed every reason and way of
getting out of the bout with I.angc but
as the Cleveland boxer now has him

appears that Lowe is trying to sidestep
the match with I.ance. as he has used
many alibs without success
