AID RUSHED
 TO STRICKEN
 QUAKE AREAS
Tidal Wave Swept Swiftly Inland for Mile = Party
 Fleeing in Auto Caught

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Dominican Republic, Aug. 6.-The government rushed aid today to areas south of the Monte Christi Mountain range, stricken Sunday by an earthquake and tidal wave which took a toll of at least two dead and damaged more than Il towns in this Caribbean Republic.
 Eye witness reports received today from Matanzas on the North Coast, said tidal wave swept inland as much as mile so swiftly that 1t caught party fleeing in an auto mobile.
 The eyewitness said the residents had been forcwarned and had taken refuge in trees and high places.
 Only eight of the 300 houses in Matanzas were reported left stand ing.
 Wrecked telegraph and communi- cation facilities made it difficult to get clear picture of the dam age wrought by the quake which apparently centered in the deepest point in the Atlantic ocean, ap- proximately 50 miles eff the east coast of the Dominican Republic.
 Reports from the Matanzas and Nagua regions said that frightened inhabitants had taken refuge in the forests and were suffering from hunger. Authorities were consid- ering dropping food from air planes.
 Meanwhile apprehension glipped the Republic as new tremors shook the ground here yesterday and blacked out radio communications for several hours.

RUSSIANS
 MAY QUIT
 AT PARIS
Charges Hurled Between Byrnes and MoIotov
 on Two-Third Rule

PARIS, Aug. 6-The Rules Com mittee of the Paris peace confer cnce adjourned in tangle over procedural questions today and a British spokesman said the possi- bility had been raised that the en- tire Russian bloc might leave the conference.
 Fhe committee begged down over the question of whether the com mittee could pass by simple major ity rule on whether a simple or two-thirds majority vote would be required to approve matters before the full conference.
 That Two-Thirds Majority
 A dinner recess was decided up- on when Yugoslavia served notice she would not Joe bound by any committee decisions reached by less than two-thirds majority.
 A British spokesman interpreted Yugoslavia's action as raising the possibility that Russia and her Slav satellites might leave the con- ference unless they succeeded in getting a rule for two-thirds vote
 Charges Hurled
 Two sessions, morning and after neon, proved to be rough give-and- take affairs, with U. s. Secretary of State James F Byrnes and So- viet Foreign Minister V. M Molotov the chief antagonists.
 Byrnes accused Russia of at- tempting to dictate to the confer cnce through the council of four leading foreign ministers, and Mol otov replied that the Big Four was an American idea. He accepted Byrnes' challenges to have the Am erican's remarks published in Rus sian newspapers amid charges and counter-charges of inconsistency.
 Interrupting debate in the Rules Committee on the hotly-argued two-thirds rule, Byrnes declared:
 Byrnes' Comeback
 "In the United States we have a free press. Therefore the Soviet representative can be sure his at tack against me has been publish ed in the United States. I chal- lenge him to see that my following statement is also published in the press of the Soviet Union.
 When the Soviet had its back to the wall, the United States promised aid and we came to their aid. We have only admiration and respect for the people of the Soviet Union. And we won't let that ad- miration and respect be changed by any attacks by MT. Molotov."
