Ecuador Town Sinks fl, 800 Feet Info Ground During Quake

QUITO, Ecuador, Aug. n.-lR-- !, Witnesses reported today one of the most fantastic pranks of Ecuador's disastrous earthquake-the little village of Libertad and it's sur
 rounding fields sank l,500 feet
 straight down into the earth.
 The town, with population of
 about 100 persons, just disappeared Where it once stood is gaping hole half mile in diameter and 1,500 feet deep.
 The strange tale was told by military and medical officers re-
 turning from the quake area south
 of here near Pelileo, hardest hit city where thousands died. They
 said they were shown the big sink
 by Col. Gabriel Nunez, troop con- mander in the region.
 Most of the top soil in the sunk en area was scrambled by the sud-
 den drop, but in few places the crops continued to grow just as they did before.

 The State Labor Mediation Board reported today that 65,00l voted for a strike and 9,549 against. This was a 7-1 majority.
 The three-day election, required by state law, cleared away the last legal obstacle to strike of Ford Motor Co.'S l06,000 hourly rated production employees, 80,O0O of whom work in Michigan. The elec- tion was asked by the CIO United Auto Workers.
 JAW President Walter Reuther said there would be no immediate walkout.
 The vote tally corresponded almost exactly with results of a nationwide union-conducted strike election in Ford plants. That elec- tion, held in July, resulted in a 7-1 majority for the JAW.
