Earth tremors and loud underground rum blings preceded the eruption at 8:10 p.m. (9:10 p.m. EST), visible eight miles away in villages near Pichucalco, a poor village of 13,000 people about 20 miles from the mountain. Minutes later hot volcanic debris began pelting the village's huts, most of them built with thatch and flimsy tin. "All those who have cars or trucks are leaving here," said Carmen Carballo, wife of Pichucalco's Mayor Manuel Carballo. She said others were seeking refuge in the municipal hall, built of brick and concrete roofing, where the mayor set up an emergency center. . At Villahermosa, the capital of Tabasco state, 36 miles to the north of the volcano, the smoke and volcanic dust was so dense it covered the night sky and the moon stopped being visible. Commander Rosendo Martell, the area's Red Cross chief, said at his headquarters in Villa hermosa the rain of hot ashes and debris mostly hot pebbles was falling over an area where 70,000 people lived. He said the debris was falling in all directions around the peak. Twelve Red Cross ambulances arrived at Villahermosa after the volcano blew, each carrying at least one injured person, drivers told reporters. They refused to give more de tails and no other immediate reports of casual ties were reported Martell said the Red Cross has set up a radio network throughout the area for the emergen cy.

"I don't know what we are going to do now, but we were born here and we want to die here," a campesino, or peasant farmer, said as he stood by the side of the road earlier Saturday trying to sell his three lambs. "It's going to be impossible for them to survive here." Defense Minister Gen. Felix Galvan Lopez said Saturday the death toll was 21 from El Chichonal's major eruption Monday and a les er one Wednesday. Hundreds of others were injured An estimated 5,000 people in settlements on the slopes of the volcano had not been reached by rescuers by Saturday, five days after the first eruption. Planes dropped supplies into the area, but rescuers did not know if they reached their targets. About 45,000 heads of families have been left without work because an estimated 250,000 acres of agricultural land will no longer be productive, Galvan Lopez said. In the first few days after the initial eruption, some campesinos fled. But by the end of the week, groups who were returning home, either for their belongings or to stay, were seen walking along the, roads.

Britishsto sail to Falklands; Argentina declares a fight Argentina By WILLIAM HEATH Associated Press Writer BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) —President Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri declared early yesterday his nation was prepared to fight to defend the Falkland Islands seized from Britain. "If the Argentine people are attacked by military forces be they land, naval or air forces, the Argentine nation in arms will present battle with all the means at its disposal," he was quoted by the official Argentine news agency Telam. On Saturday, Defense Minister Amadeo Frugoli said "Argentina will not retreat from its position as regards the steps already taken." He added that the rights and property of about 1,800 British sheepherd ers on the South Atlantic archipelago "will be re spected." Argentina renamed the capital city of the islands which it calls the Malvinas after a national hero. In the United Nations, the Security Council voted 10-1 for a British-sponsored resolution calling for Argentina's immediate withdrawal from the territo ry. Argentina's Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Men dez said the vote showed support for "an obsolete colonial situation. The Argentine government froze British assets Saturday night hours after Britain had frozen Argen tine assets. Economy Minister Roberto Alemann also said the foreign exchange market had been closed "to avoid speculation against the (Argentine) peso that would be inappropriate at this time." Alemann said payments to Britain "are suspended until the extent of the measures announced by the (British) prime minister are known." The independent Argentine news agency DYN said the British nuclear submarine Superb was detected in international , waters off Mar del Plata, 250 miles south of Buenos Aires and 1,000 miles north of the Falklands, seized by Argentina Friday after 149 years of British rule. Several thousand Argentine troops, spearheaded by marines, seized the Falklands and the dependent South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands early Friday, suffering one dead and two wounded. Hex Hunt, British governor of the islands, was flown to Montevideo, Uruguay aboard an Argentine plane which also carried 79 British marines defeated in the takeover and eight women and children. Authorities would not allow reporters to approach the Britons. Meanwhile, Argentine authorities mounted a large scale propaganda campaign to accompany the take over of the islands and announced that the island capital of Port Stanley would be renamed Puerto Rivero. The renaming was in honor of Antonio Rivero, an Argentine who, according to local history books, rallied others to oppose British occupation of the islands 149 years ago. Rivero was arrested and spent three years in England before being allowpd to return to his country. The Argentine military government announced that Gen. Mario Benjamin Menendez, army chief of operations, will take over as governor of the islands tomorrow or Wednesday, replacing Hunt. Great Britain By MAUREEN JOHNSON Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) A British armada will sail today for the Argentine-occupied Falkland Islands, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told angry Parliament members demanding her resignation. Prince An drew, a helicopter pilot, will be aboard a carrier leading the 40-ship fleet on the more than two-week voyage "It is the government's objective to see that the islands are freed from occupation and returned to British administration at the earliest possible oppor tunity," Thatcher told the House of Commons at its first Saturday session since the 1956 Suez Canal crisis. '"The Falkland Islands remain British territory. No aggression and no invasion can alter that simple fact." Several_thousand Agentine troops seized the South Atlantic archipelago from 79 British marines Friday. Argentina vowed Saturday to hold it and renamed the capital in honor of an Argentine hero. The United Nations Security Council approved a The Daily Collegian resolution Saturday calling for the immediate with drawal of Argentine troops from the islands. The United States was among the 10 nations voting in favor of the resolution; Panama was the lone dissent er. There were four abstentions. British Ambassador Sir Anthony Parsons said the vote was a "valuable, demonstration that whatever view the non-aligned may have on the substance of problems, there is a very widespread objection to their being settled by the use of force." Argentine Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendez decried the vote as lending support to "an obsolete colonial situation." An Argentine news agency said the British nuclear submarine Superb was already off Mar del Plata, 1,- 000 miles north of the Falklands and that hospitals in Mar del Plata had red crosses painted on their roofs and were told to prepare for casualties in the event of hostilities. There was' no official comment on the report and Thatcher and Defense Secretary John Nott stopped short of an outright commitment to attack. But Nott said if diplomatic efforts failed.— "and they probably will" to dislodge the Argentines: "We will then have no choice but to press forward with our plans, retaining secrecy where necessary and flexibility to act as circumstances then de mand." Press Association, the British domestic news agen cy, quoting authoritative sources, said the task force would leave from Portsmouth, England and the British naval base at Gibraltar off Spain's southern tip: It said the fleets would rendezvous at Ascension Island. The tiny South Atlantic island, 3,000 miles from the Falklands, is the nearest British possession to the Falklands. Thatcher said Britain must preserve the islanders' right to stay British. "Their way of life is British. Their allegiance is to the Crown. They are few in number, but they have a right to live in peace . . . They do not want to be Argentine," she said Thatcher said Falkland Islands Governor Rex Hunt, flown to Uruguay, told her on the telephone that the 79 Royal Marines had tried to defend his resi dence against overwhelming Argentine forces. The defenders killed one Argentine and wounded two. Hunt and the others were to fly to London yesterday. Rescue workers search for victims of Texas tornados PARIS, Texas (AP) National Guardsmen kept watch for looters Saturday as rescue workers_ searched for victims of a pair of tornadoes that killed eight people and left hundreds homeless in a 3-mile swath of destruc tion. The capricious twisters destroyed more than 100 homes and businesses and injured at least 200 people. At least 50 people were hospitalized. In an emergency session Friday night, coun cil members set a weeklong 10 p.m. curfew and canceled city elections scheduled for Saturday. Officers patrolled the debris-littered streets overnight and arrested 10 people for looting, officials said. National Guard troops were called in to reinforce the 150 officers from other Texas cities and southern Oklahoma manning roadblocks around the devastated area. Residents, many of whom stayed with friends overnight, emerged at daybreak to survey the ruins of their homes and businesses. At least 300 families were left homeless by the twisters, Paris City Manager Bob Sokoll said Saturday. He estimated it would take workers two to three days to restore utility service to the area. Lamar County Chief Deputy Sheriff Ted Gib son said the city's emergency warning system was "inadequate" because it consisted only of police and fire sirens in various parts of Paris. The City Council was scheduled . to vote on a new warning system at its next meeting, Gibson said, adding the council turned down a proposal to install warning sirens last year. "I don't think it would have made any differ ence," said Paris Mayor Billy Joe Burnett. The tornadoes were among 78 reported sight ed Friday night and Saturday that claimed 29 lives in five states. One more Texan was killed as at least one twister followed U.S. Highway 82 through several other communities Friday, officials said. Rescue workers feared more bodies would be found in Paris.
