10000 Maybe
Toll in Chile
AVIATORS ESTIMATES
OF QUAKE DAMAGE
STILL MOUNTING

Santiago, Chile - [P) - First
government reports today gave
more than 1000 dead and a total
that may go above 10000 as the
toll of an earthquake that spread
ruin and terror through central
Chile Tuesday night.
The government communique
was far from complete. Estimates
of $4,000 dead came from aviators
who flew over the region hardest
hit, from refugees who fled out
and from amateur radio oper-
ators.
The communique confirmed
/ that the ancient city of Chilean
with a population of 10000 was
destroyed.
More than 300 were killed in a
theatre collapse and the total dead
there was put at between 5000
and 1000.
Sixty per cent of Conception
with a population of 1900 was
destroyed. Aviators and a manu-
facturer who flew from there
agreed that 1000 probably were
dead.
From more than a score of
towns came reports of dead, of
homes and jails that collapsed, of
fire, of lack of water and light
and of food shortage.
