8 University Daily Kansan Mexico's Disaster Mondav. Sept. 23, 1985 Quake Continued from p. 1 expected to begin work late yesterday taking down more than 30 buildings on the verge of collapse. Mexican officials said 149 buildings were ready to fall and that 145 "fairly large structures had already fallen down, mostly in the central area of the city." Johnson said. In Washington, the White House said first lady Nancy Reagan will fly today from Andrews Air Force Base to Mexico City where she was expected to visit a shelter for quake victims and a hospital. She was expected to be accompanied in Mexico by the wife of President Miguel de la Madrid. The bodies of victims not yet identified in the devastated Colonia Roma neighborhood were taken to the baseball stadium where they were preserved with blocks of ice and formaldehyde. After refusing help for the first two critical days of the disaster, Mexico began accepting offers of relief to help thousands of people left homeless and to aid rescuers in lifting and cutting through tons of concrete and steel rubble in an effort to recover as many as 2,000 more bodies. The International Monetary Fund pledged $800 million in credits and International Committee of the Red Cross officials said a total of $400,000 had been donated by European countries. Five thousand homeless were sheltered at schools and other public buildings. Some huddled in parks and streets. Many left the city to stay with family and friends in towns unhurt by the quake. Water pipes in the southern part of town were damaged and some parts of the city were without water. Baby survives earthquake United Press International MEXICO CITY — The baby had just been born when the earthquake sent the hospital floors above tumbling down, enclosing the infant's incubator in a cradle of steel and concrete. It was found alive 55 hours later. "The baby did not even have identification," Dr Jorge Muno said yesterday. "It was just born when the quake occurred and had been placed in an incubator." Rescue workers found the infant Saturday in the destruction that was once an important maternity hospital, the Gynecological Obstetric Hospital. The baby, whose sex and parents were not immediately announced, was transported Thursday to a救死 Mexico City a devastating blow. Giant cranes lifted the huge slabs of concrete from the ruins of the hospital, part of a government medical center complex, where the intern's residence also crumbled in a huge pile of concrete. During the quake, which toppled the building backward, the baby's incubator fell to the side, while a steel beam became wrapped around the top, protecting the infant from the crush of collapsed concrete, Munoz said. "They found another baby on top of that, but it was dead," said Munoz, who was manning an emergency medical station ready to give aid to any survivors. Rescuers said yesterday they thought 80 women, 115 babies and an undetermined number of staff were trapped in the building when the quake hit. Hope ran high among the doctors and interns standing around the intern's residence after the discovery of the baby and the arrival of a 183-member French volunteer team of doctors, firemen and specialists with 16 German shepherds trained to hunt for humans. They were part of an international effort to provide relief for victims of two earthquake, the first registering 7.8 on the Richter scale, the second 7.3. Olex, a German shepherd trained to sniff for people buried in avalanches, landslides and earthquake, had barked once or twice — showing there was either a survivor or a corpse — as he was led through the rubble of the hospital by his trainer, Serge Paul. Sensitive acoustical equipment also had picked up a sound. But Paul, 34, of Bolene, France, was pessimistic that Olex had found a survivor. "A young dog does not know a cadaver," he said. Pope urges aid to quake victims United Press International GENOA, Italy — Pope John Paul II urged relief organizations all over the world to speed emergency aid to Mexico and prayed yesterday for victims of the "appalling pain" of last week's earthquakes. appalling pain or harm he has faced. The pontiff delivered his appeal for world relief for Mexico at a meeting with 15,000 young people during a visit to the port city of Genoa on Italy's northwest coast. "I am particularly close in thought, heart and prayer to the population of Mexico, intensely participating in the appalling pain of the catastrophic earthquake," John Paul said. The Polish-born pontiff said he was praying not only for the thousands of dead but also for the injured, homeless and those places of employment were destroyed by two severe quakes. "I also wish to encourage every timely initiative directed toward the relief needs that urgently appeal to the human solidarity of all people and all nations in such a tragic moment." John Paul said. "May God grant to every human heart and to the leaders of private and public organizations the spirit of fraternal charity, generosity and the desire to help those in their suffering," he said. John Paul said he visited Mexico in February 1979 on the first of his 28 foreign tours, just four months after he became pope. He urged Mexicans to pray for the strength to rebuild what the quakes destroyed. It was the second time in three days the pontifix discussed the quakes. On Friday he sent a message of "heartfelt condolences" to the president of the Mexican Bishops Conference. John Paul, who arrived in Genoa Friday, was guarded by an unusually strong security force because of threats on his life on the eve of the visit. Victims of earthquake receive world support United Press International World governments and relief organizations sent planes loaded with supplies, people and equipment to earthquake-devastated Mexico City over the weekend to help find bodies under the rubble and feed and care for survivors. France and Israel sent teams of doctors and specialists and Britain yesterday dispatched two helicopters and a plane with men and equipment. Spain and Italy sent planes loaded with supplies and rescue personnel and Japanese officials said the government was pledging $1.25 million to the relief effort. The 183-member French volunteer team, which included French army personnel, arrived Saturday with 16 German shepherds trained to locate survivors in the rubble of avalanches and collapsed buildings left by last week's earthquakes. The team went immediately to work at the site of the ruined Gynecological Obstetrical Hospital, where several hundred people were thought buried in the rubble. The two Puma helicopters and a Hercules transport plane dispatched from from Britain's base in the nearby Central American state of Belize were carrying lifting and cutting gear and soldiers, including some Royal Engineers, a spokesman said. The American Red Cross, coordinating relief efforts in the United States, urged people to stop sending food and clothing to relief agencies and send money instead to pay for much-needed medical sunnies. "Quantities of food and clothing, more than enough to cover the emergency needs, have been collected in Mexico City," said Raphil Wright, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Red Cross chapter. The Red Cross began shipping medical supplies to the battered Mexican capital Friday in response to appeals from the Mexican Red Cross. The first plane carried 10,000 pounds of urgently needed intravenous fluids and equipment, Wright said. In Jerusalem, officials said Israel had dispatched two army teams to Mexico City with rubble-removal and rescue equipment Israel developed to clear toppled buildings during its occupation of Lebanon. "五ive civilian defense officers left yesterday for Mexico, and at the request of the Mexican government, an air force plane flew there today together with 15 personnel and tens of tons of special rescue equipment." said Israeli cabinet secretary Yossi Beilin. Communications and medical officers trained "in locating trapped persons and handling evacuation and rescue equipment" were in the team, an army spokesman said. A Spanish Air Force "Hercules" transport plane packed with medical equipment left for Mexico Saturday.
