The death list grew as reports began flowing in from distant points.

A dispatch from Morelia quoted Governor David Franco Rodriques as estimating there were 72 dead in the southwestern state of Micha- acnn, in the regions of Arlo de Rosales and Coalcoman, about 40 miles inland-from the Pacific.

Communlcatiais were severed between the capital and most of the quake area.

But earlier reports of hevy cs- ulties at Acapulco were dissi- pated by an on-scene inspection.

Damage in the capital was great.

IIJILDINGS COLLAPSE

it is estimated 50 large buildings hae collapsed and many more may have to be razed because of structural damage.

Canadian Embassy officials who rushed to town were refused en- trance to the 11-storey building in which their offices are located. The building also houses the pent- house offices of William O'Dwyer. former New York City mayor.
