The first hint of the immi-

day at the opening session of a
three-day meeting of the
Armed Forces Communications

that struck the island city

For it was the surveys tidal
wave watchdogs at the Homo

Observatory 200 miles away
that provided a 12-hour warn

ated from Hilo before disaster
struck.

has mounted from the four
huge waves generated in the
Chilean coastal earthquakes,

sonable term"
Senator Kennedy said he re-
gretted the timing of the U-2
spy plane incident because he
believed it destroyed '.the pres
tige of the President in the
eyes of the Russian people"
Like some Republicans in
Congress, Gov. Nelson Rookie
feller Of New York said yester-
day there is a clear and COM
pelling need to face the facts"
of the summit failure. He
cautioned both sides to avoid
"a clash of absurd partisan
absolutes."
He added:

Democratic Party in its proper
desire to get at the facts, will
not engage in any shallow par
tisan effort to assign all error
to it's adversaries, all wisdom to

being a Republican-that Re-
publicans will not try to dis
guise the present situation for
equally partisan reasons. For it
would be false and frivolous
and ultimately damaging to
both Nation and party-to dis
miss sober criticism of specific
American conduct as a peril to

Senator Symington of Mis-

the Democratic presidential
nomination, got into the debate
with a plea that $3.5 billion

Port Reopens

LOS ANGELES, May "a
(AP). - Heavily damaged Los
Angeles-Long Beach Harbor
was reopened to shipping today,
about "a hours after the first
tidal waves from the Chilean
earthquake struck.
The Coast Guard said the
harbor still was Uttered with
considerable floating debris but
this was no longer a naviga-
tional hazard.
The tides. accompanied by
extremely fast currents, ripped
loose numerous docks and fin
ger piers and set them adrift
along with small boats. Patrol
boats lasSoed hundreds and
towed them to safety.
Damage, estimated in the
millions, ranged from San
Diego near the Mexican border
to Crescent City, % miles from
the Oregon line.
Water surged 40 feet onto
the beach at EnSenada, Mex
leo, a resort in Lower Califor-
mia. Several automobiles parked
at beachfront motels were
partly covered by the surges
but no one was injured.
John Bate, port director at
San Diego, estimated damage
there at $15,500.
At Crescent City the quake
stirred tide flooded two prin-
cipal streets to a depth of 2
feet.
Los Angeles Harbor was the
hardest hit. A dozen or so cargo
ships were anchored outside
the breakwater last night,
awaiting re-opening of the har-
Dor this morning.
Currents, rising and ebbing
sometimes several times an
hour, ripped docks, sank al
least 80 small boats and dam
