Quake rocks Central Asia; number of dead questioned
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — A severe earthquake hit the Central Asian republic of Tadzhikistan, destroying factories, offices and homes. Tass, the official news agency of the Soviet Union, said yesterday.
Tass reported "loss of life," but gave no details into how many people were killed. It said the epicenter of Sunday night's quake was 145 miles northeast of the Tadzhik capital of Dushanbe.
Seven sharp treniers rocked the city of Leninabad, which has a population of 139,000, and the nearby small communities of Kairakum and Gafurov, the government newspaper, Izvestia, said.
Tass said that near Kairakum,
"adobe houses were destroyed in villages, and a landslide swept away an asphalt-surfaced road."
The quake registered force 8 on the 12-point Soviet scale, Tass said. Force 8 is equivalent to 6.2 on the Richter scale and is enough to cause severe damage and many casualties.
The Soviet Union often does not report fatalities in natural disasters and accidents, and the fact that it reported deaths in the earthquake could indicate many did die.
Neither report gave any detail about the number of casualties and provided only a sketchy idea of the damage caused.
More than 1 million people live in the Leninabad administrative region, which covers 10,400 square miles in northern Tadzhikistan.
The affected area is the site of some of the most powerful hydroelectric stations in Central Asia, but there was no immediate word in the news media about whether dams had been damaged in the quake.

Yes, the most miraculous feat of the season may have already taken place. Forget the big games to come. Larry Brown may have been outdressed.
Coaching for the blue squad were Frank DeLuna, Kansas City, Mo., senior; Joe Courtright, Baxter Springs, sophomore; and Jink Fink, Manhattan second-year law student.
Blue blazers, double-breasted suits and boutonnieres were standard fare. A better dressed coaching staff there never was.
The coaches of the white squad were Steve Aleman, Hutchinson senior; Sarah Duckers, Salina
third-year law student; and Evan Wooten, Overland Park senior.
Football mixed with basketball as the coaches gave away secret game plans before the scrimmage. DeLuna said he planned to run a wishbone offense and the blue squad was rumored to be planning a wide-tackle six defense.
Duckers' game plan was simple and to the point.
"Our secret is that we are going to score more points than the blue team," Ducker said.
Courtight, an avid KU basketball fan, won the opportunity to coach his favorite team by writing an essay.
"It was more funny than anything else," Courtright said. "I told a bunch of jokes, but I also said only one person should coach KU basketball — and that's Larry Brown."
