Coroner Frank Nance, how
ever, said he did not believe
the Los Angeles county death
list would exceed 100. Nance
claimed the Long Beach list
contained many Implications

from undertaking parlOrs to
the American Legion armory.
Other sections that suffered heav-
lily were southwest Los Angeles,
Compton, Garden Grove, Buena
Park, Watts, Artesia, Costa Mesa,
Belltiower, Santa Ana and Hunting
ton Park.
Death and injuries were reported
from these cities and property dam
age was heavy.
More Than 100 Tremors
The shocks started at 5:54 p. m,
Friday and this morning the seis-
mograph had registered more than
100 tremors.
The jolts we're felt from Santa
Barbara to San Diego, a distance Of
$50 miles, but damage was slight in
many places.
Fire followed the initial quake in
man places. A number Of resi-
dences in Long Beach went up in
smoke.
Oil wells in the Signal Hill field,
one of the richest in the world, also
were fired.
All blazes were under control this
morning.
For distance of fifty miles down
the coast from San Pedro, eastward
perhaps twenty-five miles into
Orange county, and between Los
Angeles and the sea, the country
side was damaged.
Within that area approximately
100000 people reside. Minor dam
age was reported up the coast from
San Pedro as far as Venice and
Santa Monica, but the area Of
greatest damage could be covered
roughly in a thirty-mile radius from
Long Beach.
Marines Patrol Long Beach
The central part Of Los Angeles
suffered only minor damage. A few
falling cornices and brick walls we're
reported from the business section,
but in the southwest part Of the
city, where a "shoe-string" strip. a
mile wide. runs to the harbor dis
trict, the damage was increasingly
heavy.
Along this strip lie the towns of

Five thousand sailors and marines

sustained injuries Of varying seri-

than 1900 injured, 25 per cent hav-
ing serious hurts.
Thousands Flee From Homes
Many terror stricken residents of
Long Beach left their homes and
camped in parks and outlying dis
tricts, far from buildings that might
topple.
Authorities said $4,000 people we're
massed in the vicinity of Signal Hill.
The American Red Cross began
moving truck loads Of food into the
stricken area long before dawn.
They planned to set up canteens to
feed those who otherwise would go
hungry today.
All fires within dwellings in Long
Beach were ordered eXtinguished to
prevent explosions from escaping
gas which might have formed in
pockets. Gas had been turned of in
the mains Immediately after the
initial temblor.
Scenes of pathos dominated the
atmosphere around the Long Beach
American Legion auditorium, where
Coroner Frank Nance set up a tenn
porary morgue.
Dramatic Scenes Enacted
Bodies were removed from va
rious undertaking parlors to the
central morgue to facilitate identi-
fication.
Outside were hundreds of per-
sons, fearful that missing relatives
were lying beneath sheets on the
floor Of the huge building.

Later a score of building inspec-

area, reporting on the safety of each
individual structure. Their word will

pulled down promptly or dynamited.
Dramatic scenes were enacted
throughout the earthquake zone.
At seaside hospital in Long
Beach floors we're covered with
four inches of water from broken
water mains. Doctors and nurses
worked through the night and this
morning, standing in the water and
carrying on emergency treatments.
Compton Badly Stricken
Compton was hit hard by the
shocks. only one building in the
business district remaining un-
