Around the World Quake Rescue Berlin Lift Kh Work Halted Threatened
AGADIR, Morocco — (UPI) — Crown Prince Moulay Hassan today ordered rescue work to stop in the pestilence-threatened ruins of Agadir and demolition work to begin at once. This meant death to any of the living trapped in the rubble.
Rescue teams of many nations were picking through the ruins in hopes of finding a few more living in the devastated city where 5,600 to 6,000 persons were believed to have met death when an earthquake hit Monday night.
The threat of widespread epidemics among the living was so great the crown prince ordered the drastic move.
Thousands of persons were feared still trapped in the ruins of what had once been a beautiful and thriving resort city on the southern Atlantic coast of Morocco. An unknown number of tourists were believed still buried.
How many of the trapped were still alive may never be known. Rescue squads have worked through the night, listening for the faint calls for help that sometimes resulted in life for persons buried alive for three days.
But as they worked huge rats swarmed through the city where sewer lines were broken, threatening to spread disease among the refugees and the relief workers themselves.
Korean Reds Face U.N. Arms Charge
PANMUNJOM, Korea —(UPI)— The United Nations today charged Communist North Korea with conducting a mass buildup of a combat Air Force and introducing modern weapons into that country.
The U.N. charges came in reply to Communist protests against American-backed modernization of the South Korean Armed Forces.
The charges and counter charges came during the 115th meeting of the Military Armistice Commission here.
Maj. Gen. Joo Chang Joon, the senior delegate to the commission for the Communists, said the United States was arming the United Nations forces in Korea with atomic weapons and guided missiles and demanded their "immediate withdrawal."

BERLIN — (UPI) — East German Communists have warned the western allies that high-altitude supply aircraft will face the danger of crashes and collisions if they fly to West Berlin despite Soviet objections.
The East German radio denounced the western allied decision to send American airplanes through the corridors over East Germany above 10,000 feet.
It said in a broadcast last night the flights would be illegal.
"Such flights would provoke the danger of air crashes and collisions and bring the West Berlin problem to a boiling point" the radio said.
It accused the western allies of deliberately attempting to worsen east-east relations before next May's Paris summit meeting.
The radio rejected western allied assertions that four-power agreements place no height limit on flights in the three 20-mile wide corridors to West Berlin.
The radio did not elaborate on its warning that western aircraft would face the danger of crashes and collisions above 10,000 feet.
Elvis Back Home From German Duty
FORT DIX, N.J. — (UPI)— Sgt. Elvis Presley set foot on United States soil today for the first time in 18 months and took his first steps to get out of the army.
He landed at nearby McGuire Air Force Base from Germany where he had spent most of his two years in the service. Only a few fans were on hand to greet him.
It will take him nearly three days to get rid of his khaki trappings and army boots and into his blue suede shoes and guitar. Then he can resume his million dollar career.
At Presley's request, the army promised him the routine, $2\frac{1}{2}$-day separation tour. The Air Force will process Elvis through McGuire.
