stateingtioill*.oklo Earthquakes subside in California MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. (AP) Road crews began work ing on an alternate road out of this ski resort area in the event of volcanic activity, while scientists said yesterday the possibility of an eruption was decreasing. "Earthquake activity continues to moderate, indicating that the situation is stabilizing, (and) that the likelihood of any eruptive ac tivity . . . grows progressively smaller," the U.S. Geological Sur vey said. As the shaking dwindled yester day some scientists began heading home to evaluate data from six days of earthquakes, because "some aspects of field work is done," . said geologist Charles Ba con of the USGS office in Menlo Park, Calif. Although many researchers re m.q.ined in the earthquake-riddled region, he said, others had col lected the tests they needed to study the significance of the swarm of quakes that rattled the eastern Sierra since Thursday. Deep snow caused slow . going for road crews trying to clear a dirt road for a northerly exit from Mammoth Lakes as a precaution against potential volcano-caused Rizzo seeks 3rd term as Phila. mayor By LEE LINDER Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA Frank Lazzaro Rizzo, former cop and mayor, still brash, still bombastic and still branding as "liars" those who call him a racist, is making plans to regain control of City Hall and "rescue my city from serious trouble." The announcement, scheduled for today will' make formal what Rizzo has been doing unofficially for months as he raised more than half of his $1.5 million political war chest through dinners and cocktail par ties. It's no impossible dream for the trimmed down, "raring to go" Rizzo, now 62, even though he's running behind a black lawyer, W. Wilson Goode, in polls for the Democratic primary May 17. Goode, the top appointed official in Mayor William Green's cabinet, resigned as managing director late last year to enter the race. "So what?" Rizzo said, flexing his muscles and smiling broadly as he mapped his come-from-behind strategy in his headquarters on the 18th floor of a bank building only a block from where he bossed America's fourth largest city from 1971 to 1979. The City Charter barred Rizzo from seeking a third consecutive term, and when he tried to have the restriction eliminated he was trounced 2-to-1 at the polls, with the biggest turnout of blacks in city history. Rizzo, nicknamed variously "Big Bambino" and "Supercop," said he is ready and eager.for battle, his beefy, 6-foot-2 frame slimmed down to 230 pounds as he straightened a designer tie knotted around a 20-inch shirt collar. In a slightly softer voice, Rizzo denied he has deliber ately crafted a more loveable, more moderate image. Friends and associates also insist the old flashes of hot temper over criticism have cooled. "I'm wiser," he said, smiling slyly, eyes twinkling. "They can't bait me anymore. I'm not going to fight 'em, I'm going to hug 'em." Rizzo, who once called Richard Nixon the greatest president the nation has ever had, said he's not very happy with the way Ronald Reagan is running the Wellington---1 - ... , ~,, \ 0,-- ---- 1) . 7;,, ' \ ,% • . • o •, Hawthorne • \ \ obinino • , 0 Mono • - rLake \ ‘4., lIX Cl 4; 11 41, % , 1 2.5M110s tkii, ../As,-„,,,,0 1 I'O4C, 1 0 1 a, v I Silvo: or , ,i; , i .

"The federal government has got to help," he said. Rizzo leaned back in his armchair and said he wanted to debate his main primary opponent on the street corners, in every neighborhood, on radio and television and prove he's "a stoned-out liberal when it comes to human rights" (but) "hard-nosed, very hard nosed;-on violent crime because I don't like guys that beat and rob and murder." "I want to ask the former managing director what he did except try to get Bill Green's job," Rizzo said: "I want to ask him why crime has gone up, and why the streets are so dirty." The decision by Green, who succeeded Rizzo, not to seek another term has attracted not only Goode, in a city that is 35 percent black, but also former city controller Thomas Leonard, a young lawyer Rizzo promoted and pampered. The three-man contest doesn't, worry Rizzo. "The more the merrier," he said about a primary campaign predicted to be the most expensive in Philadelphia history. The Democrats expect to spend around $3 million. The Republicans, who haven't elected a mayor since 1937, are likely to spend an additional $1 million. Leonard said Monday, though, that he has decided hot•to run against Rizzo and Goode in the primary and will instead be on the primary ticket as an independent. He said he felt he probably could not survive a Demo cratic primary battle, but could win in November. "I'm more experienced, and I have more leadership capabilities, and I make decisions," he said. "The main issues are leadership and jobs, and I know I'm the guy who can bring jobs to Philadelphia. People must work. It gives people dignity to have a job, and government must help people who can't help them selves." Rizzo said that during his previous administration he started more than $2 billion in construction work that provided 20,000 jobs "and I can do this again in the 'Bos." Rizzo bristles most readily when he is asked about relations with blacks, especially about his opponents' accusations that he's a racist. He is alleged to have oWlsonia o Orange 'Cove San .

Scientists made no predictions that a volcano might erupt, al though they said evidence does point toward movement of sub surface magma melted rock as the cause of the steady swarm of quakes. The temblors continued to di minish in frequency and magni tude after three sharp quakes late Monday night interrupted what had been a steady rumble of quak es too small to be felt. The quakes, recorded between 9:46 and 9:48 . p.m., registered magnitudes of 3.0, 3.5, and 3.2 on the open-ended Richter scale. Generally, quakes of magnitude less than 3.0 cannot be felt, al though those below * a reading of 4.0 are still considered minor. ."Aside from that there were about four to five per hour in the range 1 to 3," said USGS spokeswoman Edna King. "Ap parently it's decreasing." About 30 to 40 per hour had shaken the popular ski resort area at the peak of the earthquake swarm. The largest quakes were recorded Thursday night.
