ARE. INJURED IN
ANDES QUAKE
Great Cracks Open in Earth,
EnguIfing Men, Women
and Children.

By United Press
SALTA, Argentina, Dec. 20. -
Thirty-six bodies had been recovered
from the ruins of the town of La
Poma today as rescue parties worked
in rain and cold in the debris of
the village practically RACED by an
earthquake&
The injured we're estimated at
more than 100. The earthquake
dead were buried as soon as the
bodies were identified.
The normal population of the
town, isolated in the foothills of the
Andes, is about 5000.
Minor earth tremors, recurrent
after the initial major earthquake,
had ceased.
Z Reports received here said that
wide cracks opened in the ground
and engulfed men, women and chill
dren.
Most Of the buildings in La Poma
were reported destroyed.
The earthquake was felt through
out northern Argentina, but no loss
Of life or serious property damage
was reported from other towns.
Inhabitants of the village, badly
frightened by their experience, said
that when daylight came after the
earthquake, columns of smoke were
seeh rising from the surrounding
hill tops, while subterranean
rumbling continued throughout
Wednesday morning.
An unidentified telegraph opera
tor, employed by the Argentine Ma
tional Telegraphs, became the hero
Of a night of panic.
He rushed to the telegraph office
and tried TO establish communica-
ton with the outside world, but
finally had to leave the building
when ceilings began to fall.
He carried his instruments into
an open fed and impromised COM
munication with Malta, where re-
lief expeditions were organized and
sent to the stricken area.

TINE New Haven fox trot is a
Il combination Of slow and fast
steps or walking and running steps.
Learning the mans part, as well
as her own, will do much to teach
the woman to follow in the synco-
pated steps.
The mans part:
/. Begin with the left foot and
walk forward two long, slow steps:
/, 2.
2. Run forward three long, quick
steps, beginning with the left foot:

At the diet building the ruler was

gawa, president of the house of
peers and head of the house which
in feudal Japan exercised all tenn

of Hirohito virtual prisoners.
The emperor read a short message

Hirohito then returned to his
