31 HENRY BARTZENBUSCR

MANILA (AP) - Devastating earthquakes killed at least 164 persons in the southern Philippines day. Several cities were without light and water. Damage was unssses- bsed but was estimated in millions

For nearly eight hours the earth rocked and hembied intermit- -tently. Fissures three to four feet wide spilt highways. halting traf- fic. Hundreds of homes were de- stroyed. Some on Lake Lanna. the centre oi the quakes. t ,' ” into the water.

After the first shock the water of the lake itself receded three to four feet. a Lanao provincial con- stabulary officer reported.

"I heard a rush of water as if there was suction in the centre of the lake." said Lt.-Col. Antonin Garcia. The water was still below normal level many hours later.

Casualty reports compiled by the Philippine news service totalled 164 dead in five districts alone of Lane provi nce, The Manila Times reported the same figures.

President Magsaysay. a pres- idential s p o is e s m a u said. will make a special trip to Mandanao island to view the damage.

Early reports at Ilignn City in- dicated that most of the victims were killed in the collapse of buildings. lligan has a population of 25.725. in Dansalan City. Lanao province capital. some buildings were buried under rook slides but there were no known deaths there. The series of quakes began early in the morning while most people were asleep. Men. women and children rushed from their homes, snatching up clothes and cooking utensils as they ran. Lights went out soon after the first shock hit. When daylight came. dazed survivors began dig- ging through the rubble and debris seeking the dead and injured. Others huddled in little groups. their belongings heaped beside them.

Roads were impassable. Even steel and concrete bridges were reduced to twisted wreckage. On one 35-mile stretch of highway surveyed from the air between Illgan and Kapatagan at least nine bridges were destroyed.

At Ozamis (Mlsamis) the stately stone Roman Catholic church built during the Spanish occupation was reported destroyed.

Pandit Nehru's pronouoement that India will not fight no mt. ter what other patients do has doubtless behind it the spirit of peaceful coexistence. but unfort- unately can have little effect on today's world situation unless all other major nations echo his pro- nouncement. snd share his senti- ments.

"Turning the other cheek" is still good advice to individuals of a Christian communi y, but has no place on the national level. Where the choice seems to be between strengthening the mailed list or being subjected to slavery by forces of unimaginable evil. So the Christian world, ' ”' all to the principle of doing "good to those which despitefully use you" must create and hoard horrible engines of destruction to guaran- tee their way of life on this earth: to guarantee the preserva- tion of their religion. and the essential dignity of their existen-
