Record Violent Quake In Far East
(By The Associated PreSS)

CBy The Associated PreSS)
 Violent earth shocks felt over a wide area of the Orient yesterday indicated an earthquake of major proportions has struck an area of the East Indies, possibly some where in the vicinity of Timor.
 Shocks were reported from points as far apart as Darwin. Australia, and Hwa-Lien, Formo- sa, about 2,4OO miles away.
 The Riverside observatory at Sydney placed the center of the disturbances 2,3OO miles northeast of Sydney in the Banda Sea area. This would be in the vicinity of Timor, in Indonesia.
 The force of the shocks dam aged seismographs at Jakarta, In- donesia, central meteorological observatory. The observatory said the readings were thus inadequate but indications were that the cen ter of the quake was in the neigh borhood of New Guinea.
 About 600 miles separates New Guinea and Timor in the Indies. Between the two is Amboina, scene of a violent earthquake and seismic or tidal, wave on Oct. 8.
 The shocks in Darwin shook buildings in the city and else where in northern Australia, but no serious damage was reported. People rushed from their sway ing houses, and some of the aborl igines were in near panic, but quieted later.
 The Jakarta observatory set the shock there at 11:33 pm. last night.

Dead Assassin's
 Widow In Custody

NEW YORK, (P)-Mrs. Carmen Torresola, 21-year-old wife of slain assassin Griselio Torresola, was taken into custody last night, it was learned today.
 The young woman had been the object of an intensive FBI search since her husband was felled by gunfire when he tried to storm Blair House in an attempt to kill President Truman Wednesday.
 It was reported Mrs. Torresola, who was taken to the federal Wo- mems house of detention, may be charged with conspiracy to injure the President.
 Authoritative sources said that Mrs. Torresola was taken into custody at p.m., last night at her home, POP West 2O3rd Street. She was listed at the house of deten- ton as Mrs. Carmen Otero, but there was no immediate explana- ton for the discrepancy in names.
 The attractive young widow dis appeared yesterday along with her six-months-old daughter. She vanished a few hours before FBI agents tracing her through city relief rolls went to the Torresola home to question her.

 When Heidelberg University opened again in the fall of 1945, Antonia was admitted as a non- German foreign student under American sponsorship. She had received her Baccalaureat degree in 1914, and now went on for her Ph.D., which she achieved in June, 1947.

 Antonia had too much energy to be a complacent housewife. She visited the University of Alaska and talked with the late Dr. Will liam E. Duckering, Dean of the Faculty. She was engaged to teach French and German, and this fall she starts her third year as a member of the University of Alas ka faculty.
 "Many wonderful things have happened to me in my lifetime,' '' Dr. Ratliff said with her typical enthusiasm. "But I think the greatest thrill was in May of this year, when I became an American citizen-right here in Fairbanks.
 'sFor years I was a displaced person. But now, nobody can push me around" Dr. Ratliff said with conviction.

and by the time she was 16 could speak, read and write English, French, German, Flemish, Italian and Dutch. She was also profi- cient in Greek and Latin.
 At 16, she entered a Nieder- landish state preparatory school, where she studied for four years. She was in her sophomore year at the University of Ghent when Hit Ter overran Belgium.
 Thousands of Belgians-includ- ing Antonia Slock-Were shipped off to the industrial areas of Hit ler's empire as laborers. Antonia was more fortunate than most of her countrymen. When her cap tors learned of her linguistic abil- ity, she was made an interpreter for Western European laborers in a Junkers Aircraft factory.
 "The compound in which lived and worked with thousands of other captured people was seven kilometers square," Antonia re- called. "Even though my work as interpreter brought me in contact with many hundreds of persons, I was never allowed near any air craft"
 In 1943, the Germans, as part of a great propaganda campaign to impress the captured people of Europe, permitted selected group of these people to attend college. The young interpreter, Antonia Slock, was chosen as a Belgian student to continue her studies at Heidelberg University.
 Antonia attended this famous University until March 14 1945, when the American doughboys took over Heidelberg and the Swastika was thing of the past.
 She felt there were more inn portant things to do in Germany at this time than to attend school. As most foreign students at Hei- delberg had beee connected in some manner with the ''Under- ground" they were the first per- sons to be screened by the Amer jeans. Two weeks after the arrival of the U. s. Army, Antonia Slock was an official court interpreter
