GHASTLY SIGHTS AT AVEZZANO

Avezzano, Italy, dan. 15,-Rescue
work in this devastated town is be-
coming CHASTITY and nerve -racking
task. The mutilated bodies of the
townspeople extrieated from the ruins
are being laid along the road which
once led to the railway station. Some
of the bodies are so unrecognizable
that they frequently are claimed as
bodies of relatives by different people.
During the night the work of rescue
was continued by torchlight and the
tlickering shadows made it appear rs
though the walls were about to fail.
Some did collapse either as a result of
the earthshoeks still occurring or be-
cause the debrist supporting them was
removed by the workmen.
As the work of rescue goes on il be-
comes more and more apparent that
many of the inhabitants did not die OF
injuries sustained in the earthquake
but as result of becoming exhausted
and frozen during the long hours of the
winter night.
One girl who had been hanging by
her clothing for many hours from an
upper floor of building was finally
