The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — More than 13,000 people were reported homeless yesterday, and officials warned that more houses could be lost in landslides near earthquake fissures.

As Congress moved forward with relief packages worth billions, a survey found that many Bay area residents gave low marks to the federal response to last week's quake.
California's Office of Emergency Services raised its count of displaced people to 13,892, nearly double the figure previously reported.
Landslides in the Santa Cruz Mountains have already claimed scores of homes, and geologists warned of worse to come.

"What's happening today is frightening to geologists who have looked at it," said Gary Grigsgs, professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "I think there's a cause for alarm, but not instant alarm until we've had more rain."
A survey in yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle reported that 38 percent of polled Bay area residents found the federal response to the quake to be fair or poor.
Forty-nine percent found it excellent or good, compared with 72 percent who felt the same way about the local government's response. The state's response earned a positive rating from 59 percent.
Police said six people remained unaccounted for, and the death toll from the Oct. 17 quake remained at 63, including 39 from the collapse of double-decked Interstate 880 in Oakland.
Meanwhile, cleanup and rebuilding continued throughout the Bay area.

Soviet miners call for strikes at 6 Arctic fields
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Workers at six mines called strikes Wednesday in Arctic Circle coalfields that were hit by large-scale walkouts last summer, the region's strike leader said.

The strike violated a law passed this month by the Soviet legislature setting arbitration procedures for would-be strikers and banning walk-outs in such vital areas as energy, defense and transportation.

He said矿ers would have to work hard to avoid rationing of heat, light and water.
This summer, strikes in virtually all the Soviet Union's major coal-fields, from Central Asia in the south to the Vorkuta fields in the far north, paralyzed much of its coal industry. The miners, who demanded better working conditions and consumer supplies as well as more financial
independence for their mines, went back to work after the government conceded to almost all their demands.
But this week, miners in Vorkuta and in the western Siberian mining town of Mezhurechensk declared that the government had failed to come through on some of the promised benefits.
