DACCA, East Pakistan (UIPJ) - A cyclone and tidal waves which struck one of the world's most densely populated areas in Asia, triggered by a powerful windstorm of the century with a death toll of more than 300,000 persons, reports from India and unofficial sources indicated today.

Officially, Radio Pakistan placed the denom
at 15.000 as of Sunday afternoon, but the
denom is still unchanged.
Estimates reaching Dacca placed the toil at 290,000 or late of Sunday with reports still lacking from some of the worst hit coastal lands and those in the Bay of Bengal.
The cyclone struck Thursday night and early Friday with winds up to 150 miles an hour along with tidal waves which swamped whole islands with 20 to 30 feet of water. It was a squere-square mile area of southern East Pakistan, the population of more than five million people.
Reporter in Dacca put together the following estimate of casualties:
- Noahkil District, 150 miles southeast of Dacaea, about 100,000 dead according to the Dacaea News, an English-language, government owned newspaper.
Hatia island, 90,000 dead or half of its population according to a Pakistani
-Putukalah District, 250 miles south of
about 50,000 dead according to Nat-
tional Geological Survey.
*Bohala Island*, 50,000 dead according to a pilot who made a prolonged reconnaissance of the island.
The official estimates that the death toll might exceed 100,000 would make it the worst disaster since floods and tidal waves killed 200,000 in northern China in 1939.

Officials flying over the affected areas estimated that, in addition to the aerial attacks, at least 300,000 cattle were killed thousands of boats and other vessels were sunk, 500,000 cattle died and all crops in the area were destroyed.
The government has begun "maximum-
possible efforts to render help to the affected
people," a communique said, "but the effort is
inadequate."
In the Noahkah district, where communications have been restored, the union council estimated unofficially that 15,000 persons had been killed in the area. Five thousand were buried in a mass grave Saturday, and another 1,000 have been collapsed for another mass burial.
Unofficial reports from Barisal, 50 miles south of Dacca, said more than 13,000 killed.

Firemen Battle Brush Blaze In California Mountains
SAN BARNARDIN, Calif. (UPI) — A force of 3,300 men from eight western states was slowly bringing a major brush fire in the mountains that sustains near total containment Sunday night.
The Bear Fire, the largest of a series of Southern California brush and timber fires that have burned more than 60,800 acres since the fire was 65 per cent contained at 51,000 acres.
HEW Secretary Pledged To Continuing Head Start
WASHINGTON (UPI)—HEW Secretary Elliott L. Richardson赞助了 Sunday to all he could to keep the popular Head Start program for needy preschool children at school even if it got only the $33 million requested by the Nikon administration.
Local Head ST administrators have been told by the U.S. Office of Education, as part of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, to be prepared toChildren if Congress appropriation exceeded the administration request.
Asked whether this were a commitment, barrison or commission, one of the commissions can fully make it the mitment to find ways, if at all possible, of maintaining Head Start at its present location.

The $239 million is considered to be *$1.6 billion* short of the amount necessary to meet the child welfare plan, but to maintain the quality of the office of child welfare, Zigler director of the office of child welfare.
Head Start, to be financed by an appropriations bill that must be passed before the end of the year, provides care for children in need. Service facilities for needy children 3 to 8 years.
Lame Duck Congress Convenes Amidst Political Hassles, Pet Bills
A house-passeed money bill, while not specifying how much money may be spent on Heap Start, would allow HEW only about $212 million for the program.
During the last fiscal year, ended June 30, it served 488,500 children.
WASHINGTON (UP1) - Legislative issues put off a month ago, now summering from a hot political campaign, face congressmen returning Monday for a lame duck session most of them regard as distasteful. It is expected to drag on until Christmas.
It will be the first post-election session in 20 years, with decision-making on legislative priorities, funding for spending and welfare reform—being shared by 61 lawmakers who won't return to Capitol Hill.
Also having飞 in the unusual wrapper of the bist. Congress will warrant all elections, all elections, all elections, all elected Nov. 3 to fill vacancies, who will begin voting on bills first considered by their members.
THOUGH THE partisan lineup will be
barely altered by the face lift, leaders of both parties in both houses gloomily predicted a lame dunk disaster even before the election receiving began Oct. 14.
The acrimonious debate that followed did little to cure their fears of partisan spats and a host of other issues.
As Senate Republican leader High Scott put it: "Half the Senate will be hustling its bills and the other half will be busting to block them. It'll be a big traffic jam."
"The situation is much improved," a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service said. "It looks pretty favorable. There hasn't been much change all day."
In an ironic post election twist, the Nixon administration will be looking to the liberals it sought to usetain for key Senate votes on welfare and trade; while trying to salvage them, it chose as a tight budget with one fewer Republican in the Senate than it had a month ago.
Santa Ana winds, which had fanned the flames at up to 80 miles per hour, diminished for five hours.
The fire fighting force was joined by an additional 1,000 men Sunday.
The men were using 180 fire trucks, 25 baskets, five helicopters and nine air raids.
The spokesman said fire fighters would burn out a potentially dangerous area on the southern edge of the Bear blaze. The area had spot fires in it.
The Cucamonga Canyon fire north of nearby Uciandu is 50 per cent contained at 2,600 acres. About 450 fire fighters packed into the rugged area.
Two firemen were injured while battling the nearly inaccessible Cucamonga fire, and had to be carried on stretches over the ridges to where helicopters could land.
At least 47 homes and structures have been destroyed by fires, 44 alone in the mountain resort community of Smiley park, fire officials said.
Ken Scallion, 51, saw the Bear Fire sweep into his town Saturday. He said, "The winds were creating such a turmoil, just boiling water and making bodies floating. Flames jumped from treetop to treetop."
One of the men was hit by a falling sugar from a tree, while the other had glass in his mouth.
Aircraft have dumped 80,000 gallons of fire retardant on the 80-square mile Bear Fire since it began. But Sunday skies over the hot airplane did not show off the day and the aircraft could not be used.
He said, "All of a sudden I wake up, and it's burning. The paper sleeping bag, the seats, the bed, the curtain."
"There was no partial burning. If the homes were touched, they burned clear to ground, but not to fire."
Rick Martel of Victorville, Calif., was sleeping in a firefighter's bas on California 30 on Friday.
The Bear Fire was believed to have been started by an unattended campfire. But Philip Owen Page, 14, of San Bernardino, was arrested for possible arson in the four county fires, now contained, which blackened 5,700 acres and destroyed three homes.

Two of three battles in Ventura County also were believed to have been set. Some 700 acres were burned over before those fires were controlled late Saturday.
Cause Still Undetermined
The latest series of fires followed by slightly more than one month the worst brush fires in Canada. The number of fires more than 500,000 acres destroyed and nearly 700 structures destroyed in the fires which began in June.
HUNTINGTON, W. V., WA. (UPI)—The charred bodies of 75 persons, including 36 Marshall University football players, were taken Sunday from the scattered wreckage of a school truck掂 short of landing, apparently too low to clear a hill in front of the runway.
The airport has not instrument landing gears and is equipped with a "localizer approach" with the following features:
"As the plane kept hitting larger trees, any chance for a safe landing diminished. Then the plane's jet engines were ingested wood from the trees." Reed concluded.
"The aircraft was lower than it should have been for some reason," John Reed, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said Sunday night. "But there was no evidence of my problems with the aircraft prior to the crash."

Merle McClure, a captain in the Lawrence force, spoke with Stanwix at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in an attempt to air the "policeman's side." Stanwix said he was fed of hearing only one viewpoint and he felt a public discussion would help clarify issues.
Most police problems in Lawrence are the result of a severe shortage of staff and funds, Richard Staniwix, chief of police, said in a public meeting Sunday night.
"Policeman are bricked at,射尖 at and shot at, and you wonder why they can't hold their gun," he said. "They take a lot of tongue abuse, and if you're a bit nervous, but we need more manpower. If we reduce hours so that men can spend more time at work, families, the officers won't overreact to them."
One of the main reasons for the curfew last spring, said Stanwix, was that the police force did not have enough manpower to handle the whole thing.
Stamwix had very little to say about the density of Nick Rice and Rick Doddell last week.

Lawrence police have purchased and are now wearing pig buttons, and Stanwix said that they are no longer called "pig" as much as they were.
At this point, McCure said that the policy for police officers using guns could not be changed without a particular incident. Officers were usually instructed to use their guns only for their own purposes.
Stanxw said that the Lawrence police ran close affiliation with the University of Kansas

SOURCES VARIED on the cloud ceiling at the time of the crash. A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board said it was 300 feet with patches as high as 500 feet—"minimum conditions for a landing at the airport."
The Federal Aviation Administration said there is no radar system at Tri-Slate.
"It would be premature to assume the crash resulted from pilot error," Reed said. The pilot, Capt. Frank H. Abbott was a 20-year veteran, he said.
Chartered by Marshall University, the plane was ending a 40-minute flight from Kingston, N.C., carrying 36 football players, five coaches, one team trainer, and members of the "sport club" including one newly-elected team captain and six physiologists. All perished, along with men and a baggage truck. The team had played 17-14 Carolina earlier in the day, losing 17-14
Federal officials said it would be "about a month" before they could determine crashes that were too serious crashes the nation's worst this year, and six weeks involving a college football team.
The bodies, all of them burned beyond recognition, were placed in plastic bags and taken to a temporary morgue set up in a State Airport guard army at the Tri-state Airport.
State Police Capt. J. D. Baisen led 15 of the bodies were identi-tently from the site.
Walter Rollins, a mortician who helped with the recovery, said he believed "death was not a fate" and called for help.
John Reed, chairman of the national transportation Safety Board, headed the investigation.
THE FLIGHT RECORDER will tell the investigators the air speed, altitude and general operation of the plane before the crash.
"There was some damage to it, but we expect a read out," Reed said.
He said the cockpit record, bent and twisted but still functioning, would provide "the last 30 minutes of conversation between the plane, pilot and co-pilot."
The plane had passed the outer markers of a radio checkpoint and reported no witnesses in the area said the craft appeared to be trouble immediately before the fiery crash.
Velvel Provides Massachusetts Blueprint
War Constitutionality Questioned
By BOB DICKSON Kansan Staff Writer
That design was used in preparing the State of Massachusetts judicial brief when the Supreme Court judicial brief was Sugaree, Court, injust. No 5.
Lawrence Velvet, professor of law, designed one of the first attacks on the constitutionality of the Vietnamese war.
Velvet's article, "The War in Vietnam," Unconstitutional, Justifiable, and Jurisdictionally Attackable," was published in the New York Times Review. He recently said his purpose in writing the article is to present "a blueprint by which we can respond with a brief to challenge the war."
In the article, Velvet charged that the war was unconstitutional because it was initiated and expanded solely within the executive branch of the federal government. "In effect, it (the Congress) has used Congress's power to declare war," the article stated.
It went on to say that the constitutionality of the war
needed to be challenged for two reasons. First, the present war alters underlines the court economically by creating inflationary pressures and denying the ability of domestic programs.
Among those arguments presented were the alleged guarantees of executive control through
The second reason for challenging the war's constitutionality, according to the article, was the implied sanction of extra-constitutional acts by any branch of the government. Velvet, however, refrained from attacking the justice law and self said that the issue was its "patent unconstitutionality."
His blueprint, on which the Massachusetts case was based, presented 18 arguments offered in a lawsuit against defense of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Following each argument, Velvet questioned its veil through constitutional conceal and previous judicial rulings.
the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the Commander-in-Chief clause of the Constitution.
The article also attacked the principle that the executive must declare undeclared war through the power to repel attack clause and the President's power under the clause in the Constitution.
The judicial branch not only has the right, according to the article, but the responsibility to rule on this issue because it involves mis-use of constitutionally-allocated powers.
In this blueprint, the recommended decision was to send Congress a draft to get a declaration of general or limited war from Congress or disaccord.
Velvel said he was asked in January by the drafters of the Massachusetts brief whether he should have proposed the proposed test case. At this time, he said that the development of a relied heavily on this blueprint
