Voted Police, Firemen

Volcano Kills
At tLeast 141
In Philippines
Red-Hot Ashes Cover
a Square Miles; BIost
Likened to A-Bomb's
BY the Assoeiated Press

MANILA. Dec. 4.-Hibok Hibok
volcano in the central Philippines
erupted today, killing at least 141
villagers.
Rescue workers, clawing fran
tlcally in smoking ashes which
covered half a dozen settlements
expressed fear the casualty toll
would reach several hundred.
The Red Cross reported the
toll and said the figure was grow
ing hourly.
Scores of Filipinos burned by
red hot ash or streams of lava
were treated at makeshift hospi-
tails set up on Camiguin Island
Like an Atomic Blast.
The volcano blew its top like
an atomic explosion. 1t spread
a layer of thick ash over half a
dozen sitios, crossroads clusters of
farm houses. It's still smoking.
The Philippines Weather Bu-
reau seismologist said about 4
square miles on Camiguin was
covered by red-hot ashes.
The seismologist reported the
ashes and noxious fumes limited
.rescuers to working on the outer
fringes of the volcanoes destruc-
ton.
Miss Bonifacia Caid, Red Cross
representative on Camiguin, ap-
pealed for plasma and other
medical aid.
A United States Air Force am
phibian plane will leave early to-
morrow with needed supplies and
several doctors. An American
Navy seaplane will follow with
Red Cross workers ard more sup
plies.
Nearest Airfield 40 Miles OFF.
Land planes cannot reach the
island directly. The nearest air
base is 40 miles away, on Min
danao Island.
The city hall at Mambaj jao,
principal city of Camiguin, was
transformed into the primary
emergency hospital to treat
burned victims.
The seismologist said the over
all situation at the volcano ap-
parently had improved but added
he had mo confidence" that the
eruption was subsiding.
The official, whose name was
not available. said smoking ash
covered about four square miles
in the vicinity of the 5,620-foot
peak. He said the ash was dan
gerouS' and rescue workers could
do no more than search around
the fringes.
Continuing Danger Reported.
Miss Caid telegraphed headouar-
tiers: Areas affected still danger
GUS. Many victims as yet un-
recovered from danger zone. More
victims still coming In"
All Philippine naval vessels
south of Manila were ordered to
speed to Camiguin to aid in evac-
uation. The island has $4,000
population. 1t is in the Minda-
mao Sea just north of the big
island of Mindanao.
Philippines Air Force planes will
fly to the area tomorrow to aid in
the evacuation and to help care
for the injured.
Hibok Hibok, quiescent since a
mild eruption in July, shot a
fiame-filled tower of smoke and
ash into the air at tbs am. today
(6:15 pm. Monday. EST). 1t gave
no warning.
Gov. Paciencio Ysalina of East
ern MisamiS Province on the
north coast of Mindanao went to
the little island to take charge
of evacuation.
Gov. Ysalina said the eruption
was worse than the big blasts of
1948 and 1850. A blast on Sep
tember Is, 1850, killed sc persons,
In the September, 1948, eruption,
10000 island residents were evac-
uated but only five deaths were
recorded.
