Another quake expected
China struggles to rebuild
.. TOKYO (AP) “United and heroic” struggles to rebuild
*the devastated city of Tientsin were reported yesterday by
China's official Hsinhua news agency while Peking residents
settled into tents pitched in streets in anticipation of another
major earthquake.
Hsinhua, in a rare acknowledgement of the loss of life, said
a grain bureau official organized people to protect granaries
“though his own house had collapsed and his family members
jjjad been either injured or killed.”
. The news agency said the quake in Tientsin “caused losses
to a certain extent.”
The Japanese newspaper Asahi published extracts from a
diary kept by Mrs. Yahori Matsui, wife of the first secretary of
the Japanese embassy in Peking. The diary told of cries and
shouts at the time of the quake, and people scurrying out of
their homes in confusion. Mrs. Matsui wrote that a terse radio
announcement of the earthquake was broadcast followed “by
the usual call for furthering criticism against Teng Hsiao-
Ping.” He is the former vice chairman of the Chinese Com
munist Party ousted by Chinese leadership as “a capitalist
roader” four months ago.
Last Wednesday’s earthquake devastated the highly
populated Tangshan area 100 miles southeast of Peking and
largely destroyed Tientsin, China’s third largest city. Chinese
officials have made no announcements of.the number of dead
and injured but unofficial estimates have been in the tens of
thousands.
Working through the quake, workers at a wire factory over
fulfilled the target for their shift, Hsinhua said.
Medical workers set up emergency first aid wards, com
mercial workers managed to supply large quantities of goods
#for relief work and daily use, and workers in the food, phar
maceutical, plastics and other industries quickly restored
production, Hsinhua said.
At the Takang oil field workers braved danger to restore
power lines “so that well drilling and oil extraction went on

smoothly.”
The army joined in relief work, it said, and one Communist
Party official, as soon as he was rescued from the debris of his
crumbled house, set up a command post for relief work, the
news agency said.
In Peking where the quake did relatively minor damage, a
Japanese newspaper correspondent said, “Some people had
managed to pipe water inside their tents from the water main.
Many also had brought in propane gas containers for
cooking.”
The correspondent said that workers leave their tents in the
morning for work, and take turns shopping when they return
at night. “We can’t get much sleep,” one worker told him.
“This is very tiring.”
But most people point to the slogans “man always triumphs
over nature” and “do not fear death” which have been put up
in the city, he said. Sound cars in the streets call for “deter
mined efforts to beat the earthquaKe. ’ ’
For the second day in a row, Hsinhua said help came from
all over China, including Tientsin, to Tangshan, a coal mining
and industrial city of 1.6 million badly damaged by the quake.
Meanwhile foreign residents and visitors continued arriving
in Tokyo and Hong Kong, providing accounts of Wednesday’s
disaster and Chinese efforts to protect foreigners from the
quake.
An American businessman arriving in Tokyo yesterday said
the Chinese paid close attention to the safety and comfort of
foreign visitors even in the midst of the diaster.
Kenneth McGuire, 34, of Reston, Va., said the visitors in
Tientsin, including Australians and Western Europeans, were
taken to a soccer stadium and given complete warm meals.
They spent the night on the floor of the Municipal Club, a
sturdy old building built by the British before World War II
and then were put on a train for Shanghai 500 miles from the
epicenter of the quake, the businessman said.
Although he did not specify
how he knew about impending
personal attacks or what
form they would take, the
Georgian urged Democrats to
shrug them off.

Generation of gas
soil sample not caused by life
PASADENA, Calif. (AP)
Viking - scientists said
yesterday the unexplained
generation of gas in a
Martian soil sample has
virtually stopped, and they
tend to think it was not
caused by living
organisms.
"We are gravitating
closer toward a non
biological explanation,”
said Dr. Harold P. Klein,
head of the Viking biology
team. “But we are not 100
per cent sure it’s not
biological.”

Women complain to judge in Harris trial
LOS ANGELES (AP)
While jurors deliberated for a
fourth day in the William and
Emily Harris trial yesterday,
two women assailed by the
trial judge in a controversial
ruling complained of their
treatment by the court.
In official letters to the
judge and prosecutor and in
interviews at the courthouse,
Jeannie Barton and Corinne
Hansen said they were
“disappointed and disen
chanted” that the judge and
prosecutor ridiculed their
reports of jury bias against
the defendants.
They called the statements
of Superior Court Judge Mark
Brandler and Deputy Dist.
Atty. Sam Mayerson
“shocking” and “appalling.”
Both Brandler and
Mayerson declined comment
on the women’s statements.

result of a chemical
process in which oxygen in
Mars’ rusty surface is
released by sunlight and
decomposes a liquid food
fed to the soil sample,
scientists said.
There had been
speculation that some form
of Martian life had broken
down the nutrient and
given off gases in the so
called labeled release ex
periment.
Klein said,, that latest
results from the mini
laboratory on, Mars show
that “whatever has been

assault along with Patricia
Hearst, who is to be tried
separately. The charges stem
from a crime spree in May
1975 in which the Harrises
allegedly shoplifted at a
sporting goods store and later
stole vehicles and kidnaped
two* people while eluding
police.
Brandler justified his
denial of a mistrial motion in
the trial Monday by ex
pressing doubt about the
women’s honesty.
Barton and Hansen,
onetime prospective jurors in
the Harris case, came for

prejudice on the jury and

Dr. Fred Brown, a
biologist for TRW Systems,
which manufactured the
laboratory, said the labeled
release data “have almost
zero chance of being a
message about life.” Most
of the scientists on the
official Viking biology
team, with which Brown
works but is not a member,
feel that way, too, he said.

were disgruntled at not
becoming jurors in the case.
Mayerson termed Baron’s
complaints the words of “an
hysterical woman.”
In a letter delivered to
Brandler, Barton said, “lam
absolutely appalled at your
intimation that I would
falsely accuse the juror in

- “To cast aspersions updn
the veracity of Miss Hansen
and myself is, in my opinion,
most improper... To skirt the
issue by labeling us un

■dignity and is absolutely
untrue.”
The two women had
reported that a juror now
sitting on the Harris trial
possibly prejudged the couple

which detected an unex

the soil, “We do not see any
biological activity,” said
Klein.
The pyrolytic release
experiment, which is
looking for signs of
photosynthesis by Martian
organisms, among other
things, has only reported
back preliminary data. All
the data says, according to
Dr. Norman Horowitz,
head of the experiment, is
that the Martian soil is
quite dry.

him say the trial’s outcome
was “a foregone conclusion.”
They also told of a prospec

he hung the Harrises in ef

The defense demanded a
mistrial or removal of the
accused juror. The judge
refused. He said he would
wait for a verdict and
question jurors about
prejudice after the verdict is
announced.
