Mexican volcano
erupts, lava hurled
By CONCEPCION BADILLO
Associated Press Writer
PICHUCALCO, Mexico (AP) El Chincho
nal volcano hurled hot rqcks, burning lava and
debris for miles Saturday night, injuring at
least 12 people in the biggest eruption since the
southeastern Mexico peak turned active last
week. . .
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.
El Chinchonal turned active last Monday and
several big eruptions have occured since. But

geologists here and in Villahermosa said Satur
day night's was the biggest to date.
Hundreds of poor farmers, their roots deeply
planted in the mountains around a volcano,
have been trying to return to their ash-covered
homes while others violently refuse to be evac
uated.
"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.
"This is ours, where are we going to go?" a
woman asked as sheiswept the porch of her
house on the edge of this city. Three of her seven
children played with volcanic sand as if they
were on the beach.
The ash reached a depth of 20 inches in some
places
In Chapultenango, a town of 3,000 people 12
miles from the base of the volcano, rescue
workers said villagers hurled rocks at them
when they were told they should leave.
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.

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.
